Designed for the assembly of manufactured parts, Fuji Machine says its SmartWing Robots are revolutionizing the industry with remarkably easy, efficient and accessible automation.

Vapormatt Ltd. is launching a fully integrated modular wet blasting machine for edge honing and surface preparation of all types of round shank and solid cutting tools. The new Oncilla wet blast machine incorporates blast chamber, washing, drying, elutriation tower, control and robot handling units in a single compact, high-performance system.

Emuge Corp. has introduced its patented Punch Tap Line in North America. The Emuge Punch Tap is for helical thread forming in cast and wrought aluminum alloys and similar lightweight materials. Emuge Punch Taps provide a new, shortened tool path process for producing internal threads in under half a second, resulting in significantly less energy consumption during the machining process and a reduction in threading time by 75 percent compared to cold forming and conventional tapping.

Enclosures are designed to enclose robots and other lab automated processes by providing exhaust air systems or HEPA filtered clean workstations.

BIG KAISER introduces two versions of the C-Centering Cutter, a multifunction cutter capable of spot drilling, centering and chamfering. The C-Centering Cutter is an indexable cutter that uses a specialized insert that can start a hole from a solid piece, something extremely difficult to do. It can also perform spot drilling and 90-degree chamfering at the same time or can strictly be used for hole chamfering.

An innovative design makes the 9-inch Zip-Miter Horizontal Band Saw from Palmgren suitable for cutting straight or miter cuts on ferrous and nonferrous metal. It has been designed from the blade out to provide the same cutting accuracy as a cold saw.

Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics, a division of Cleaning Technologies Group LLC, introduces an innovation in a spray and ultrasonic combination aqueous parts cleaning system. The new Rotosonic (Patent Pending) will clean heavily soiled parts in a single machine, rather than having to purchase a spray cabinet and an ultrasonic machine separately.

Velo3D announced the general release of its end-to-end metal additive manufacturing (AM) solution comprised of the Sapphire system, Flow print preparation software and Intelligent Fusion technology. Together, the integrated solution solves some of the most difficult AM challenges, including product design limitations, part-to-part consistency, process control and cost-effective manufacturing.

Walter has introduced the new A60 and AG60 inserts for small to medium pitch threads. Just like the existing MX geometries (CF5 and GD8 for grooving and parting, RF5 for grooving and copy turning), the new MX geometries A60/AG60 provide long tool life, fine surface quality and process reliability. The inserts have four cutting edges.

Walter Surface Technologies released two choices for polishing and finishing projects: Instant Polish for fast, single-step finishes and Ultimate Shine for superior mirror finishes.

Pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders are omnipresent. Whether as compressed air cylinders on boot lids, on a lifting platform in the workshop or in highly complex machines that make modern construction projects possible. The following applies to all of them: They have high demands with regard to low-wear movement and a long service life. Therefore, the requirements for the fit between piston and seal represent a challenge for every piston rod manufacturer and are - in the truest sense of the word - real precision work.

The Kardex Remstar Shuttle XP Vertical Lift Module (VLM) can now be equipped with Access Ready Light technology to improve picking productivity and accuracy. This new light tool now available helps operators visualize when the tray is in the access opening and ready for picking or putting. This upgrade, "Access Ready" lights, improves storage and retrieval of goods and order picking performance.
