Sandvik Coromant is releasing three new grades for its popular CoroDrill 870 exchangeable-tip drill. GC4344, GC3334 and GC2334 have been developed to offer significant tool life improvements and more predictable wear patterns, all while maintaining the high penetration rates and productivity for which the concept is renowned.

The L.S. Starrett Co. has announced the introduction of its Digi-Check Height Masters with electronic digital readout. The new Digi-Check No. 258 Series Height Masters combine the accuracy of Starrett-Webber Gage Blocks with a precision micrometer head and digital readout display.

Verisurf Software Inc. announced the release of Verisurf 2018 Update 1, the latest update of its popular measurement software for automated quality inspection and reporting, scanning and reverse engineering, tool building and assembly guidance. Advanced new features in this update are based on customer feedback, and deliver increased efficiency and improved quality functions.

Lucifer Furnaces supplied a forced-air recirculating oven to a manufacturer of medical and aerospace parts. Model 42-M36 will be used to heat treat 17-4 stainless steel.

Renishaw has launched a new encoder family for linear axes, which offers exceptionally wide installation tolerances and axis speeds of up to 24 meters per second. The QUANTiC encoder series produces a digital signal output directly from the readhead and eliminates the requirement for additional bulky external interfaces.

JVL Industri Elektronik A/S introduces a new compact and slim stepper motor. The new ServoStep integrated stepper motor series MIS171 to MIS176 have a NEMA 17 42x42 mm flange and include controller with six different industrial Ethernet protocols, absolute multiturn encoder, closed loop and M12 connectors.

When grinding tools, ultrafine coolant filtration is clearly a worthwhile proposition for the tool manufacturer or regrinder: The cleaner the grinding oil is and the less often it has to be replaced, the more it will save on coolant costs, minimize waste, and reduce tool costs and machine downtimes.

Allied Machine & Engineering adds three new Criterion boring kits to its line-up. The kit selection includes a kit for 1.00" cylindrical shank, a kit for R8 shank and a kit for #4 Morse taper shank.

Cortec's main goal is to provide practical corrosion solutions that are more environmentally and user friendly than their traditional counterparts. Cortec also offers an excellent companion solution for revitalizing rubber parts that frequently come into play when restoring and preserving metal equipment.

MVTec Software GmbH will release the new version 18.11 of its standard software HALCON on Nov. 30, 2018. Many highlights in the new release are the result of MVTec's ongoing development of AI technologies, such as deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

HEIDENHAIN announces a new series of angle encoders called the ERP 1000 with the design criteria of exceptionally high resolution, high speed and high contamination resistance. These new unique encoders are particularly useful for highly accurate measurement and positioning applications within semiconductor and metrology equipment.

CNC specialist NUM has significantly expanded its portfolio of motors for machine tool applications by launching a range of high-performance brushless torque motors. Employing innovative optimized magnetics, NUM's new TMX series direct-drive motors have an extremely low cogging torque. They are ideal for applications that demand very smooth and accurate rotation, especially at low speeds.
