CNC Software Inc., producers of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, announces a 3-axis and 4-axis milling post processor that will unleash the highest productivity on SINUMERIK-controlled machine tools. This new post processor was developed utilizing the technical expertise of Siemens CNC engineers.

NCSIMUL MACHINE simulation and optimization software from SPRING Technologies helps aerospace and other manufacturers create "digital twin" process models that facilitate fulfilment of customer demands for higher production rates and unwavering product quality.

As part of its ongoing commitment to empower organizations to create safer work environments and comply with OSHA standards, Rockford Systems LLC has introduced an automatic sanding belt holder that enables lathe operators to sand, polish and deburr while keeping hands away from rotating parts and at safe operating distance away from the spinning shaft and, thereby, helping to prevent entanglement.

Walter has introduced the D3120, an indexable insert drill built to provide trouble-free drilling in virtually all conditions. It features square positive indexable inserts with four cutting edges, enabling it to reduce cost per cutting edge.

igus has introduced a flexible cable for use in energy chains that delivers motor power and feedback functions through a single cable. The new CF280.UL.H cable is a hybrid servo cable offered as an expansion to the chainflex line of cables for moving applications.

BIG KAISER announces the MEGA Micro Coolant Nut, a developed solution to provide precise coolant supply to micro cutting tools applications at high speeds.

SMIRT 2019 R1, the latest release of Vero Software's powerful viewing and manufacturing solution for the die-mold industry, introduces new on-machine inspection functionality and enhanced templating functionality for added process planning automation.

What is the main purpose for coolant application? Of course, among many reasons, primarily it's for the lubrication and cooling of the cutting edge and, in addition, to help facilitate chip evacuation. REGO-FIX has launched a cost-effective and efficient attachment for the application of coolant-lubrication liquids through the tool, based on an ER collet nut, which is suitable for use on SUHNER feed drilling units.

In cases where the cutting tool must be moved towards the workpiece, insufficient or not many practical solutions are readily available. This gap is being closed by the SUHNER robot machine tool program. One option is to bring the workpiece towards a standard stationary SUHNER machining unit. Today, SUHNER offers the possibility to adapt and guide the tool by the robot.

Liftomatic Material Handling Inc. introduces FTA drum handling units. The FTA drum handling units are designed for loading, unloading, palletizing and storage of steel drums in nearly any size or configuration, including 30 gallon, 55 gallon and 85 gallon.

The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced its AV450 Automatic Vision System. Versatile, accurate, fast,and American made, the new 3-axis vision system allows users to cost-effectively achieve high throughput in their inspection process, and is suitable for both repetitive, larger part-run applications and routine quality assurance.

Engineering components and parts manufacturer, WDS Component Parts Ltd. has extended its range of gas struts with new stroke lengths and options. The company can provide standard gas struts by overnight delivery or work with customers to develop bespoke units that match their application needs.
