Simonds Saw has announced hat its European partner, WESPA, has introduced the ability to produce instant "blade-to-machine" data transfer of machine-specific cutting parameters for its Individual Performance Cutting (IPC) custom bandsaw blades program. This instant data transfer technology directly supports the Industry 4.0 concept.

​​​In conventional lathe-type machine tools, the capability of feed motion in the XZ plane is an inherent limitation. In a parting operation, this inevitably directs the resultant vector of cutting forces sharply across the cross-section of the tool, resulting in high loads and susceptibility to deformation. The classical parting blade design compensates for this with a large height relative to the width. Sandvik Coromant engineers now have a remedy that utilizes the modern machines' capability to feed the tool in the Y direction.

The CrazyMill Cool products have been developed by the Swiss tool manufacturer Mikron Tool for milling in small dimensions with high performance and quality. Now a new "family member" has been added. It is a four-teeth finishing milling cutter with shank integrated cooling, available in the diameter range of 1 to 8 mm und for milling depths of up to 5 diameters deep.

JW Winco Inc. offers GN 196 aluminum angle connector clamps in metric sizes. These clamps offer many more application opportunities within the expansive range of tube clamps currently offered.

The compact, high-precision Quicktech S-32 ATM 9-axis, twin-spindle mill/turn center combines integral-motor main- and sub-spindles with a 190° B-axis milling head and a fast automatic toolchanger to maximize output of small, complex parts. Quicktech machines are distributed in North America exclusively by Absolute Machine Tools Inc.

Liebherr Automation Systems offers its new PHS Allround pallet handling system, designed to enable a broad range of shops to engage in flexible production in combination with 4- and 5-axis machining centers. The new modular concept, available in three capacities, can handle loads up to 3 tons, is flexible and can be individually configured and expanded.

Makino offers EDGE-Series machines, the EDGE2 and EDGE3, to the U.S. manufacturing market. Built for general precision machining applications, both EDMs provide accurate and reliable performance for standard die/mold components or contract manufacturing with a space-saving design for shop floors of any size.

The tight turns and small footprint of the SmartFlex Helix Conveyors from Dorner provide facilities with greater flexibility in layout for applications such as accumulation, buffering, cooling product and more. The SmartFlex Helix Conveyors' infeed and outfeed can be positioned at any height or angle.

THINBIT offers CBN- and PCD-tipped inserts. CBN (cubic boron nitride) tipped inserts provide an increased production rate, improved surface finish and dimensional control when used on high-temperature alloys, such as inconel, nickel-base alloys and materials with a hardness of HRC 35 or harder.

Increase the speed and accuracy of doing business in today's complex manufacturing environment and streamline operations. With the new innovations available in Macola 10, you can easily configure your own workspaces at the user level – without the need for developers or consultants.

ITW Vortec has released an update to its line of enclosure coolers. The ProtEX Vortex A/C enclosure cooler, released in April 2017, has been granted certification for Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D; Class II, Division 1, Groups F and G; and Class III, after extensive review by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL).

Seco Tools has introduced its R217/220.28 cutters with new body designs that incorporate double-sided round inserts to deliver cost-effective performance, as well as boost productivity. Double-negative-positioning pocket seats of the R217/R220.28 cutters deliver enhanced cutting capability and significant gains in productivity, according to the company.
