The ECO linear stage series builds upon Aerotech's long tradition of producing low total-cost-of-ownership motion designs. Excellent positioning specifications, high stiffness and a variety of options and features combined with economic pricing make ECO stages a suitable choice for applications where robust motion performance is needed.

Emuge Corp. has announced its thread making tool quality is available in a Self-Lock integrated locking system. Emuge Self-Lock threading tools offer a high-quality alternative in thread locking for vital safety applications in a variety of industries.

A water wall boiler tube repair system for biomass boilers that precisely cuts tube panels without a HAZ (heat affect zone) and bevels for welding end preps has been introduced by Esco Tool.

Dillon Manufacturing full-grip pie jaws made of 1018 CR steel are now available in diameters from 6 to 15 inches, with heights of 2, 4 and 6 inches. Constructed of 1018 CRS, these heat-treatable and weldable steel jaws allow for complete gripping of the workpiece to maintain accuracy.

A line of quick-release clamp collars offered in three designs that provide clamping options by hand without tools for a wide range of applications have been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

OptoForce announced that it has completely rewritten its core software, resulting in new capabilities and automation tasks not previously available for Universal Robots industrial robots. The new developments also feature much greater speed for integration on many industrial robotic functions.

JW Winco Inc. offers stainless steel leveling feet, with inch size threaded stud and turned base. Bases are available with mounting bores (GN 23) and without mounting bores (GN 21).

Following last year's launch of PrimeTurning methodology and tools for external turning operations, Sandvik Coromant is introducing a dedicated CoroTurn Prime SL head that makes this process available for internal turning operations. The new SL head will meet the needs of oil and gas, aerospace and other manufacturers that machine diameters in excess of 90 mm (3.5 inches) and overhangs up to 8–10×D.

For operations that produce toxic dusts like manganese, hex chrome, nickel and zinc oxide, it is a priority to keep the workplace safe and compliant with OSHA regulations. But traditional remote-mounted HEPA filters require expensive, cumbersome ducting configurations and additional supports that take up valuable space. Camfil APC dust collectors are available with Integrated Safety Monitoring Filters (iSMFs) to isolate toxic particulates ensuring that no measurable weight of emissions is being discharged.

Doosan Machine Tools announces the addition of the DNM 4000 to its line of vertical machining centers. This compact VMC was designed for lean cell applications where space is tight, but productivity and cutting performance are essential.

Kitagawa NorthTech Inc. announces its suite of automotive industry workholding solutions, which bundles together advanced and custom engineered workholding products for automotive industry machining applications. The advanced workholding series are Kitagawa NorthTech advanced chucks and custom fixtures that have been engineered, modified and/or customized to solve part specific machining for a myriad of automotive industry applications, including camshafts, valves, cylinder pumps and heads, differential cases, brackets, clutches, covers, holders, gears, hubs, pinions, pulleys, rotors, rollers, pistons, and chassis components.

MachineWorks Ltd. is offering solutions for solving difficult 3D scanning problems such as complex hole filling in a point cloud of the 3D object. 3D scanners often produce 3D models with missing regions or with holes. Polygonica polygonal modeling software engine's latest function addresses hole filling by recapturing the original geometry of the 3D data thanks to clever geometry manipulation.
