The Eldorado M75-30T is a twin-spindle gundrilling machine with a redesigned counter-rotation fixture. To maximize the effectiveness of the gundrilling operation, it is ideal for the workpiece to be rotated in the opposite direction of the drill rotation. This improves the straightness of the drilled hole and reduces drill drift.

The latest release of VISI launches a new module for reverse engineering, along with new and enhanced functionality for both CAD and CAM processes, specifically designed for the mold and die market. As part of a wider project for reverse engineering, the new VISI 2018 R2 officially launches a dedicated module which provides a reverse engineering module within VISI's existing modelling and machining environment.

Walter Surface Technologies has introduced two heavy-duty grinders: the Ironman and Ironman PS. Designed for strenuous, prolonged use, the Ironman and Ironman PS feature an ergonomic rat-tail design, perfect balance, 1,750 watts of power, 6-inch wheel capacity, a QUICK-R instant release function, and the Walter Stabilizer, which reduces vibration and extends the life and productivity of abrasives by up to 30 percent.

MAPAL has announced that the Tritan-Drill product range of drills with three cutting edges will gradually be expanded. The new universal version, made from HSS, was specifically developed for maximum cost-effectiveness in small-series production.

Motion plastics manufacturer igus introduced new tribologically optimized plain bearings that ensure lubrication-free mounting of individual chain links, which will increase the uptime of crane systems and gantries.

High-performance cutting tool manufacturer YG-1 has a released a new die and mold brochure available for download at www.yg1usa.com. The new 16-page brochure provides tooling solutions for the die and mold industries based on machining in a wide variety of mediums.
