Twenty proven software and hardware kits for the most popular cobot applications are available on the UR+ platform, a large and comprehensive ecosystem of products certified to integrate seamlessly with cobots from Universal Robots. By reducing recurring engineering decisions for common applications, the "plug and produce" kits decrease project risk and complexity and are ready for fast implementation for tasks such as finishing, inspection, assembly, machine tending, material removal, dispensing and material handling.

Grob Systems offers its G-Series universal mill/turn machining centers. The G-Series, which includes the G350, G550 and G750 5-axis universal machining centers, offers limitless possibilities for milling parts made of the most diverse materials.

From Severance Tool Industries Inc. comes the Speedy Handle tool for use with Midget Mills, rotary files, deburring and chamfering cutters, countersinks, and a wide variety of other bits used in detailed finishing work. The convenience and quick setup of Speedy Handle make it a suitable alternative to air- or electric-driven power tools in applications involving one or two holes or light forming operations.

Corrosion may not be the first word that comes to mind when thinking of preventative maintenance. Yet, it can be a critical part of keeping vital "nerve centers" going at any facility — making sure the lights stay on; the electricity continues working; and servers, phone systems, fire alarms and other electrical controls keep functioning. Electrical or electronic failures mean interrupted operations, downtime, repairs and extra costs. Fortunately, Cortec VpCI solutions require minimal effort with big returns on corrosion protection.

The Portacool Jetstream 250 provides powerful cooling with 8,500 cfm that cools over 2,100 sq. ft. With built-in handles and heavy-duty casters, this portable evaporative cooler is engineered to generate significant airflow and provide a superior portable cooling solution with easy mobility for a variety of work and spaces.

When grinding carbide and HSS tools in large industrial volumes, large filter and central systems for cleaning contaminated grinding oils are worthwhile in several ways, like the filtration systems from filter specialist VOMAT in Treuen, Germany. They offer ultrafine filtration systems that can be individually customized to customer-specific production conditions.

Walter has introduced the MU5 double-sided indexable insert for turning operations. The insert can be used universally both for steel forged parts and also for stainless materials.

Robotiq announced new functionalities for its Finishing Copilot software. Designed for manufacturers with polishing or sanding processes, the software's new weaving motion and variable trajectory planning enables a cobot to adjust its own path. This means cobots can finish a family of parts without the operator having to adapt the program.

Hard Jaws from Dillon Manufacturing Inc. feature diamond-shaped serrations for increased pull down effect, which reduces part slippage and push back from using a bar feeder. The aggressive serrations on the gripping surfaces are also ideal for cast parts, scaly parts or parts with imperfections.

Tungaloy is expanding its DeepTri-Drill line of indexable gundrills to cover diameters ranging from 37.0 mm to 40.0 mm.

Electrochemical grinding (ECG) solution provider Tridex Technology, a Glebar Company, provides a burr-free cutoff solution for stainless steel tubes with the CS1-E burr-free electrochemical cutoff machine.

Solar Manufacturing shipped a Mentor vacuum furnace to Virginia, for a customer servicing the tool and die industry. The Model HFL-2018-2IQ features a graphite-insulated hot zone, a load weight capacity up to 250 lbs. and a maximum operating temperature of 2400° F.
