Sandvik Coromant has unveiled a new blade for its CoroCut QD parting-off system, which in combination with new process methodology, substantially improves the tool's stability by realigning the resultant cutting force. Among numerous benefits available to the customer are improved productivity, enhanced surface quality, and reduced noise levels.

BIG KAISER announces its HDC Straight Shank holder to the market, used for increased versatility. The slim design provides superior balance, concentricity and is suitable for reaching into confined areas.

New captive locating screws and captive jig pins from Carr Lane Mfg. Co. are quick-acting, all-in-one assemblies to keep all tooling right at hand. Both assemblies have a precision-ground body that is positively retained in a locking bushing, with a spring clip that snaps into the body's radial groove.

No. 931 is an electrically-heated, 1,250° F high-temperature universal oven from Grieve, currently used for various heat treatments at a customer's facility. Workspace dimensions measure 25"W x 36"D x 24"H, and 18 kW are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular heating elements, while a 1,000-cfm, 1-hp recirculating blower provides a universal front-to-rear airflow to the load.

Seco Tools has introduced a cutting tool product line specifically designed for machining medical knee implants. The new Jabro medical range of solid-carbide cutters are suitable for high-speed machining and other aggressive milling strategies that can shorten knee implant cycle times by as much as 50 percent.

Pillow block and flange bearings are commonly used in construction machines and conveyor systems, therefore they are often exposed to dirt and dust. This exposure to foreign debris creates extreme loads that the bearings must endure. To withstand these harsh scenarios, metallic bearings must be regularly maintained and lubricated. With the new igus spherical balls made of the high-performance plastic iglide J, users can now rely on a self-lubricating and maintenance-free solution.

With the new VM 9 modular turning machine, EMAG has introduced a platform that covers a broad spectrum of applications thanks to the combined turning, milling and drilling technologies and intelligent machine design. The highly accessible machining area and workpiece spindle fitted at the bottom ensure short tooling times and maximum flexibility in the production of workpieces in small series.

In many technical fields, ultrafine grinding is one of the tasks that gives the product its final polish – in the truest sense of the word. This applies equally to both precision and the visual appeal. SUHNER offers an innovative grinding, milling and polishing system, SUNmic 60.

The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced a comprehensive line of innovative, entry-level, computer-based, force-testing solutions for applications ranging from load limit and distance testing to break limit, time average, cyclic count and duration testing, constant hold and more. Optimized for production and quality control testing, the versatile, innovative architecture of the L1 system is designed for reliable, fast, repeatable and easy operation.
