Guhring's HPC precision clamping chucks offer extremely high clamping forces while maintaining extremely tight concentricity tolerances, making it an ideal solution for milling operations, as well as drilling and reaming applications. It excels in both heavy-duty and high-speed machining applications.

MAQ offers the Self-Tuning Mass Damper (STMD). This toolholder features a tungsten mass inside the tool. It is available in more than a dozen length-diameter combinations. By using the STMD, parts manufacturers, machine tool builders and cutting tool manufacturers can reduce cycle time and cost of ownership by 30 percent, decrease tooling costs by 5-10 percent, cut energy consumption by 2-3 percent and curtail scrap output by 1-2 percent.

Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division announced the launch of the new 360° FMC-Tracker, a flexible measurement cell powered by the "absolute accuracy" of the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 and the Leica T-Scan 5 laser scanner. Designed to measure mid-to-large sized parts, manufacturers can utilize the in-line, near-line or off-line options of the 360° FMC-Tracker for automated measurement productivity.

NCCS announces the release of NCL 2018 multiaxis machining software. The new version adds programming shortcuts and productivity features such as enhanced forms and videos that demonstrate each Form's function. These features help speed up programming. They give even the most novice programmer the ability to program with confidence and relative ease.

OnRobot is ready with a unique new patented toolchanger for collaborative applications developed by Purple Robotics, recently aquired by OnRobot. Weighing only 200 g (7 oz.), the Quick Changer has a low impact on robot payload.

Using digital solutions for monitoring of equipment utilization makes workshops far more efficient and profitable than would otherwise have been possible, which is why Sandvik Coromant has introduced CoroPlus MachiningInsights. MachiningInsights is more than a monitoring system. This solution gathers data, calls attention to issues and provides the insights required to take action. It is an easily attainable step for manufacturers that are looking to reduce waste in production and make a smooth transition into a digital way of working.

Synova is launching a new CNC machine with full 5-axis capability to process complex 3D geometries. Applications targeted include the machining of industrial diamond employed in toolmaking, as well as various composite materials used in aviation. The LCS 305 offers enhanced accuracy, quality and speed with highly dynamic axes, water-cooled linear and torque motors, mineral casting machine bed and fully automatic offset calibration system.

The exponential growth of digital technologies continues to drive the evolution of manufacturing supply chains into data-driven cyber-physical systems, increasing the vulnerability of data and industrial assets and exposing them to an array of multi-vector threats. Every time data moves throughout the supply chain, it creates cybersecurity vulnerabilities — risks include theft, malicious or accidental alteration, or misplacement of data. Identify3D helps enterprises curb these risks by securing intellectual property while assuring manufacturing repeatability and traceability.

Starrag offers the innovative Heckert DBF 630 6-axis machining center with B over A trunnion table coupled with 45 kW (60 hp)/1,700 Nm (1,254 ft-lb) torque fully integrated U axes head to enable turning, as well as milling, boring, drilling and thread generation operations to be completed in a single setup. OEMs and top-tier suppliers in the oil and gas market, for example, are making significant savings on workpieces such as fluids ends, gate valves, drill bits and pump housings.

Starrag has demonstrated over the years that the nonexhaustive list of applications performed on its model Bumotec s191FTLR 7-axis turn/mill machine is an evidence of Starrag's expertise in manufacturing complex parts in a single setup whatever raw materials used. Whether for producing parts in the micro-mechanics, aerospace, medtech or luxury goods sectors, Bumotec machining centers dedicated to small workpieces turn out to be a major asset to achieve your production goals and overcome the current market challenges. In the medical field, requiring high level of precision and repeatability, the company's technology is often used to obtain the cost-effective solution for producing implants combining grinding, milling, turning, drilling and polishing processes without interruption.
