CNC Software Inc. announces Mastercam 2020 is now available for purchase. Mastercam 2020 increases machining productivity and reduces overall production costs with new 2D through multiaxis milling automation features, CAD and model preparation improvements, and improved Machine Configurationand 3D Tooling.

New additions to JETI (Jetstream Integrated) tooling from Seco Tools eliminate coolant-through tooling and connector interference that hinders grooving, parting-off and other turning operations. With interference-free internal coolant capabilities and the option to switch the underside stream channel on and off as required, these expansions to the range of MDT (Multiple-Directional Turning) X4 (grooving and parting-off) and 150.10 (parting-off) toolholders add operational stability and reliability while they improve surface finishes.

Kitagawa NorthTech Inc. introduces its new DKF Series of low-profile collet chucks. The DKF low-profile collet chuck features a compact nose, which is required when additional tool clearance is needed in tight workpiece and machining environments.

The introduction of a specific 5-axis 'Tilt' control strategy, combined with a 'Barrel Cutter,' is said to be the most significant enhancement in the latest release of SURFCAM, from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence's Production Software division.

Nippon Pulse introduces its smallest linear stepper motor yet, the PFL20 Linearstep. The PFL20 is a highly efficient, high thrust tin-can linear actuator with a 20mm diameter and a bipolar winding.

Weldcote introduces its line of Z-PRIME and Z-SOLID zirconia flap discs. Designed for applications on carbon-based steels and stainless steel, Weldcote's Z-PRIME premium flap discs are manufactured of high-quality zirconia grain that provides fast metal removal. The zirconia technology incorporates an active grinding agent that provides cool cutting with light pressure.

NCCS Corp., developer of PostWorks universal postprocessor, announces the general release of PostWorks Version 17.2. PostWoks is a high-end universal postprocessor, which generates precise NC code for a variety of machines including mills, lathes and multitask machines.

Guardair Corp. has developed two innovative vacuums for safely cleaning off workers and their workspaces in environments with combustible materials. Both the popular Personnel Cleaning Station and Machine Vac are now available in non-electrical discharge (NED) versions.

Harrington Hoists Inc. introduces its HFH Fork Truck Hook, which is designed to lift and carry loads on the fork of a fork truck using a single latched hook or swivel hook. It is available to fit fork widths of 5¼ to 7 inches and 3¼ to 3 inches in height with a capacity of 1½ tons.

Emerson has introduced a new tool to help pneumatic system users quickly and easily see the potential benefits of integrating IIoT. By connecting the new AVENTICS Smart Pneumatics Analyzer to the compressed air supply on an existing machine, users will have instant analysis options for key machine characteristics such as compressed air consumption and possible leakages.

Tormach Inc. has announced it is now offering servomotors for its line of 1100M and 770M CNC milling machines. Servo upgrade kits are available for current users of these machines, which allows them to transform their current 'M' series machines to 'M+'.

The API Swivelcheck instrument measures and calibrates machine tool rotary axes, tilt tables and pendulum axes. Swivelcheck utilizes a servo-driven motor in conjunction with an electronic level and precision rotary encoder to measure multiple parameters in a single setup.
