The Dormer Force M assortment of drills provide a high level of productivity specifically for drilling stainless steel (or ISO-M) materials while operating consistently across a diverse variety of machines and conditions. This makes them suitable for high production, general engineering and subcontract environments.

Optimizing Dormer Pramet's brands to make your selection process easier is a top priority as the toolmaker continues its cutting tool expansion. The company is focusing the strong Precision Twist Drill brand on what it has become globally recognized for the outstanding range of drills. The solid-carbide endmills within the Precision Twist Drill brand will be transitioned to the Dormer brand.

Dormer Pramet's latest milling grades - M4303 and M4310 - provide durability and reliability in semifinishing and finishing applications.

Responding to the increase in hybrid manufacturing, the latest release of Edgecam introduced a new Additive Machining module. Supporting the Direct Energy Deposition method, Edgecam now offers a dedicated manufacturing cycle which accurately guides a laser as it deposits material to form a shape. After that, the shape is machined using Edgecam's milling cycles to create the final component.

Stopping moving parts in target positions and locking them into place is a common requirement for plant and machinery engineers. Their favored method for doing this is often the index plunger, with the cam-operated version being particularly popular. Engineering components manufacturer WDS Component Parts Ltd. offers a wide range of index plungers and is a leading authority on the technology.

BEA Lasers has announced the availability of its new Eagle Eye Sensors. A single package contains both a through-beam photoelectric laser source (emitter) and a receiver, providing a similar function as a proximity sensor, but with enhanced benefits. The combination emitter/receiver package is suitable for detecting the presence of objects, such as products on an assembly line, material or liquid level control, product positioning or profiling, and other applications.

CleanSpace Technology has launched the CleanSpace Ultra powered respirator with full face mask. Featuring no hoses, belt mounted battery packs or cables makes CleanSpace a light, easy and comfortable unit to wear in industrial settings.

The new Gold Series X-Flo (GSX) industrial dust collector from Camfil APC is built on 20 years of successful performance of the company's award-winning Gold Series collector. GSX dust collectors are suitable for industrial applications that produce or process fine, fibrous and heavy dusts and fumes.

Liftomatic Material Handling Inc. introduced the HCB hoist attachment to handle all 55-gal. drums. The HCB hoist attachment safely lifts steel, fiber and plastic drums weighing up to 2,000 lbs. using Liftomatic's exclusive "Parrot-Beak" drum handling attachment.

As the technology leader for high-precision laser scan systems, SCANLAB GmbH introduces an additional variant of its entry-level basiCube scan head. This new basiCube model's SL2-100 interface now allows direct control by RTC5 boards. Execution of highly elaborate laser jobs and more complex graphics is thus possible for laser marking, subsurface glass engraving or similar applications.

Cutting tool and tooling systems specialist Sandvik Coromant is launching GC4330 and GC4340, two new insert grades for steel milling. With the development of advanced production technologies, such as a new substrate, Inveio coating and an improved post-treatment technology, the new grades provide great opportunities to substantially increase tool life and process security compared to the previous generation of grades, GC4230 and GC4240, which will now be superseded.

JVL's newest additions to its portfolio is a complete, high-capacity MAC motor with rating of 3,000W. MAC motors are complete servo systems including a high-dynamic AC servo motor, hall-sensors, encoder, power supply, driver and positioning controller and Nano-PLC, as well as facilities for incorporating various control modules such as Bluetooth, WLAN, ZigBee, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, DeviceNet, Profibus, Profinet, Nano PLC, RS232/RS485/USB and Process Control.
