Epson Robots announced the new high-performance Force Guide integrated force guidance solution, which takes robot automation to the next level with amazing precision and outstanding rigidity. Epson Force Guide is a tightly integrated force control system that allows Epson Robots to sense and make precision moves using force feedback data.

No. 1017 is a 1,000º F high-temperature bench oven from Grieve used for various heat processings at the customer's facility. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 22" W x 22" D x 13" H, and 3kW are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements to heat the oven chamber, while a recirculating blower provides airflow to the workload.

Screw unions on thin walled materials require complex additional operations like e.g. the welding on of a nut. The so called flow drilling process can form the thread directly in the arising passage, thereby making this additional operation unnecessary. Suhner and Flowdrill are collaborating in this field of specialized technology.

Detailed evidence of workshop air quality down into the nano range: AirWatch is setting new standards for the networking of air purification technology equipment in production workshops. KEMPER's advanced air monitoring system can be integrated into environments where there is an inadequate digital infrastructure, without interfering with corporate networks.

A new line of fiber fused silica lenses for high-power lasers that are easier to install than returning the laser head to the manufacturer is being introduced by Laser Research Optics.

Custom manufactured clad metal wire designed for specific performance characteristics such as corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and more have been introduced by Anomet Products.

Vapor Technologies Inc. (VaporTech) announces the launch of the VT-i series PVD coating machines: Brand-new equipment that meets today's needs for efficiency, cost-control, and product quality and differentiation.

Walter has developed the Insert Converter app, which quickly shows the insert selection with the latest Walter grades and chipbreaker geometries for an application. It is aimed at anyone who wants to enhance their machining process, increase tool life and process reliability, or improve their productivity.

Through its partner PCI (a Tongtai company) Absolute Machine Tools offers a series of single- and twin-spindle, 4- or 5-axis Meteor horizontal machining centers engineered to produce a range of aluminum automobile components, including parts for both internal combustion and electrified cars.

Verti-Lift manual turntables enhance ergonomics and productivity by eliminating the need to walk around or reach across loads, especially during pallet loading or unloading. These heavy-duty, low-profile turntables have a ½" thick steel top turntable and boast a 4,000-lb. capacity.

HEIDENHAIN's newest multimedia online CNC learning program called HIT 3.0 is now available. HIT stands for "HEIDENHAIN Interactive Training" and is used for providing advanced and apprentice-level skilled training for NC users utilizing HEIDENHAIN TNC protocols.

Safety in design is critical to CNC milling operations end products, as well as to the machine's profitability. As the trajectory of today's new milling technology trends toward machines producing extremely high speeds/high rpm within a smaller overall foot print–potential safety issues can't be ignored.
