Parallel Keepers - Separators are available from Sta-put123.com. They are hardened and ground, plated, 0.0002" flat, and parallel.

Tungaloy is expanding its insert line for TungSix-Drill, the head-changeable drill, to include grade AH3135. TungSix-Drill is an indexable insert drill that incorporates double-sided, triangular inserts with six effective cutting edges.

PI (Physik Instrumente) delivers a family of compact linear and rotary stages driven by ceramic direct-drive motors. The patented ultrasonic motors provide smooth motion with high resolution and a high dynamic range.

ANCA's EDGe-Spark erosion power generator controls the energy level of the eroding spark for optimal surface finish, material removal and cycle time. It also enables a double-ended HSK wheel spindle for eroding PCD and grinding carbide and HSS.

Rethink Robotics announced the upcoming release of Intera 5.2, an expansion of its Intera software platform that provides critical data insights to manufacturers in real time.

Walter has expanded its popular Paradur HT HSS-E blind-hole tap range by adding UNC thread dimensions. Previously available in dimensions M4-M36 and M10×1-M33×2, Walter has now expanded the range of the taps to include dimensions UNC 1/4-UNC 1.

Beckhoff announced the new EK1000 EtherCAT TSN Coupler, expanding the industrial Ethernet capabilities of the EtherCAT I/O system. The EK1000 enables communication among EtherCAT segments with remote EtherCAT controllers via heterogeneous Ethernet networks.

Vero Software has launched a new direct modelling system to fill the gap between CAD and CAM, focusing on the specific needs of machinist programmers. As a stand-alone, optional application for its CAM portfolio, Designer enables users to create new designs or modify existing geometry from third-party CAD systems.

Gliding e-chain cable carriers are typically used for travel lengths between 33 and 164 feet. However, more demanding requirements are currently being placed on these e-chain systems. The required dynamics of the systems are intensifying, and the loads that the chains must handle are increasing. This can cause gliding systems to reach their physical limits. For example, if the cycle rates of machines increase, energy chains must move faster as a result. Therefore, igus has expanded the standard modular system of the E4.1 e-chain series by adding new roller links.

A line of drop-in field replacement CO2 laser lenses supplied in mounts for Trotec, Xenetech and Raytec lasers is being introduced by Laser Research Optics. Laser Research mounted CO2 laser optics for popular engraving and marking lasers are optimized for 10.6 microns where depth of field is critical and are available with focal lengths from 1" to 10" at 1/2" increments.

MAPAL offers the UNIBASE-M tool dispensing system for the optimal storage and management of tools, components and accessories. With the focus on ease of use the system is configured according to customer requirements. This applies to all the new variants in the UNIBASE-M range as well.
