The unique shape of Palmgren's electric hand grinders provide exceptional control with less operator fatigue.

EtherCat is becoming a communication standard in industrial automation. The continuous need for higher precision in R&D, test and manufacturing drives the demand for more high-performance, piezo-based nano-positioning and scanning systems; semiconductor manufacturing, optics and photonics are typical examples. PI (Physik Instrumente) now offers a new EtherCat compatible version of its successful E-727 digital piezo controller family.

With user experience as a top priority, the new release of RADAN is set to make this CAD/CAM software for the sheet-metal industry easier to use than ever before. A further reduction in mouse clicks and improvements to nesting and reporting allows customers to see a real increase in efficiency, saving both time and costs.

Machine bearings define the load carrying capacity, speed, precision and performance of equipment. The quality of high-precision bearings is critical for success. GMN has been in the bearing business since 1908 and understands the demands equipment places on high-precision bearings.

CGTech has introduced additive manufacturing enhancements to be released in VERICUT Version 9.0. VERICUT CNC machine simulation, verification and optimization software simulates all types of CNC machining, additive and hybrid manufacturing processes. The software operates independently, but can also be integrated with leading CAM systems.

Creaform launched a thoroughly reengineered and refined update to the HandySCAN 3D: the HandySCAN BLACK. This is the third-generation version of Creaform's patented metrology-grade scanner.

Creaform launched a thoroughly reengineered Go!SCAN 3D: the Go!SCAN SPARK. This third-generation version of Creaform's patented professional-grade Go!SCAN 3D portable 3D scanner has been specifically designed for product development professionals who need the most efficient portable scanner to capture 3D data of physical objects—anywhere.

Walter has announced the introduction of the TC117/TC217 Advance cut taps for high threading productivity in a wide range of different materials. The Advance lineup is one of the three categories to Walter threading tools.

Based on a parallel-kinematic design, with only one lightweight moving platform for all three axes, PI's P-616 is available with high precision and dynamics in a compact package. Also known as the NanoCube, it is the smallest and lightest system with capacitive feedback delivering 100µm travel range in 3 degrees of freedom.

BIG KAISER introduces the Lollipop from Sphinx, the newest addition to its endmill cutter lineup. The Lollipop from Sphinx is for machining undercuts, deburring and multiple-axis machining.

The latest CAM simulation software release from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence includes new and enhanced functionality giving users the ability to execute tasks for existing projects on a remote server. Based on client/server scheduler architecture, the new version of NCSIMUL's machining module includes new automation functionality that gives the user wider control of their jobs on other devices by communicating with distant servers.
