FlexArm Inc. introduces the GH-45 hydraulic tapping arm with capacity to 1 1/2 inches in mild steel, allowing operators to quickly and consistently tap holes offline for greater overall productivity. This versatile, robust design has a reach from 20" to 78" and operates at variable speed from 110 to 500 rpm to deliver torque up to 325 ft./lbs.

Volume Graphics has announced its involvement with the Kunststoff-Institut in a second joint project on "Rapid Tooling" with companies from a wide range of industries.

Exact Metrology announces the immediate availability of the new Artec Micro 3D scanner. The Artec Micro, an automated, metrology-grade desktop 3D scanner, is Artec 3D's most accurate 3D scanner to-date and is used for scanning tiny mechanical parts, such as engine valves or connectors, for inspection and reverse engineering, as well as other small objects for industries such as heritage preservation, dentistry and medical.

To ensure manufacturers can obtain the most productive machine for their particular part-production applications, United Grinding offers a full 360-degree range of Studer internal cylindrical grinding machines. This extensive portfolio of machines includes several universal-type models, as well as those designed for high production and for radii grinding operations.

A part of Mazak's family of Hybrid multitask machining centers, the VTC-300C FSW combines milling capabilities with those of friction stir welding (FSW). With a full traveling-column design, automatic toolchanger and 40-taper spindle in addition to the FSW package, this machine helps shops achieve reduced lead times and greater part accuracy with less required capital equipment and floor space – all while enabling completely novel methods for processing parts with strong welds.

ShopBot Tools has announced the launch of the ShopBot Desktop MAX ATC, the newest addition to its desktop tool line. The Desktop MAX ATC has all of the same capabilities of the popular Desktop MAX but has the additional power and efficiency of an automatic toolchanger (ATC).

Traditionally, manufacturers have relied on mineral-oil based rust preventatives for temporary protection of metal components during storage and shipment. While these are effective, they must be disposed of as hazardous waste, introducing extra costs and complications to the cleanup process.

In a collaborative effort to best enable 5-axis machining for users with Heidenhain TNC controls and Mastercam CAD/CAM software, a new collaborate post-processor is now available.Called the Heidenhain TNC 5X Mill post-processor, CNC Software Inc., developers of Mastercam software, introduced it after coordinating development efforts between the two companies.

To help manufacturers achieve the highest level of overall throughput, Mazak Corp. has designed its Kentucky-built QUICK TURN 200/250 series of CNC turning centers as a flexible machine base suitable for numerous highly productive configurations.

Verti-Lift presents versatile shuttle/transfer carts with the integration of portability, lifting and conveying. With the option of V-Grove casters or Flanged casters (for plant pedestrian traffic areas that will not allow obstruction), portability allows product movement between multiple work cells or processes.

EXAIR's new 3/8 inch Standard Air Wipe produces a 360 degree airstream that can blow off, dry, clean or cool the material passing through it. The split design can be clamped around continuously moving material such as wire, cable, pipe, hose and extruded shapes.

PFERD diamond-coated wire brushes are ideal for removing localized heavy mill scale prior to welding in hard-to-reach areas. They are also suitable for other heavy-duty surface conditioning applications, as well as for blending machining marks and generating distinct scratch patterns.
