Walter has introduced single-sided indexable inserts with new HU5 geometry. These HU5 inserts can dramatically boost productivity particularly in rough machining of stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys and secondarily in steel. They are typically used in machining AISI 316 material, Inconel 718 and titanium.

Energid released Version 5.5 of the Actin software development kit (SDK), an even more powerful and easier-to-use version of the industry's only real-time adaptive robotic motion control and path planning toolkit. Actin Version 5.5 adds Actin Viewer enhancements, Motion Script updates and G-code support, making it even easier for robotic systems developers to focus on the robot's tasks rather than joint movement and paths.

Finely filtered grinding oils in cutting tool manufacturing are an important key to more quality and efficiency in production. Tool manufacturers who rely on the right technology and competence of their fine filtration equipment manufacturer make optimal use of the many advantages offered by efficient grinding oil filtration.

Marposs has announced its M62 Scan, a universal gear inspection system that performs a quick and efficient inspection of cylindrical gear tooth profiles in a production environment. The M62 Scan helps to relieve the workload of gear lab machines by enabling an interim check directly on the shop floor.

BLM Group USA's TS72 universal cold sawing CNC system for cutting tubes, bars and profiles features an automatic axis control function enables automated changeover for non-stop, unattended production.

The Safe Robotics Area Protection (SRAP) safety system from SICK provides process-based protection for collaborative robot applications. The safety system provides machine operators with unrestricted, yet safe, access to a robot's working area at any time, by adapting the operating conditions to the position of the person.

PFERD has announced that the Bosch X-Lock quick-change system for angle grinders is now available for a wide variety of PFERD cut-off wheels, flap discs, grinding wheels and brushes. This time and labor-saving system let users change applicable X-Lock products quickly and comfortably.

A new standard line of machinable shaft-end adapters that are offered with a plain bore or keyway and a variety of options is being introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Small and extremely sensitive, but capable of absolute top performance: The advanced miniature sensors (6178C, 6182D and 6183D) from Kistler – streamlined for maximum precision – now feature Unisens uniform sensitivity and titancarbonitite coating.

Tungaloy expands its -HP geometry line of T-CBN inserts that ensures effective chip control in finish turning of hardened steel parts.

Weldcote offers its new lines of Quick-Change, Roll-On and Turn-On ceramic C-Prime discs for steel, stainless steel, ferrous and nonferrous metals.

In order to offer more flexibility to customers, BIG KAISER has moved production of its CAT50 milling adapters to the U.S. The product performance and design will not change, but the move allows for more variation and faster delivery of special lengths for specific applications.
