Once again, ANCA says it is launching new technology to bring tremendous benefits to its customers with the LaserPlus system on their EDGe machine. The EDGe is used to erode PCD cutting tools, which in turn are widely used in aerospace, automotive, electronics and wood industries.

GF Machining Solutions' new compact FORM E 350 machine is a suitable die sinking EDM solution for small shops. Even with a small footprint, the machine still boasts several design and performance features that enhance a shop's competitive advantage.

MVTec Software GmbH will release the new version 17.12 of its standard software HALCON on December 8. The new version features an extensive set of cutting-edge deep-learning functions, which can be instantly applied in industrial settings.

PI (Physik Instrumente) LP announces a new compact closed-loop motion controller. The new E-871.1A1N digital servo controller is the latest model in a series of drivers and controllers specifically designed for inertia-motor based opto-mechanical actuators (piezo ratchet drives) that are widely used in the semiconductor, laser and photonics industry for fine-tuning of complex systems.

A new, electric portable pipe machining tool that is a powerful alternative to pneumatic tools for end prepping boiler tubes and other pipe fabrication work has been introduced by Esco Tool. The ESCO MILLHOG Mini Electric Pipe Beveling Tool rigidly mounts to the tube or pipe ID and is suitable for end prepping heavy-wall stainless steel pipe and other highly alloyed metals when compressed air is not available.

Iron's everywhere. The turbines in those big windmills popping up all over the place. Engine blocks, transmission cases, and turbocharger housings. The pumps that bring water to our faucets and the hydraulic manifolds that put the "move" into earthmoving machinery. Without iron, none of these would be possible. This is why Kennametal has produced cutting tools that make iron machining both cost-effective, efficient, and ensures easy handling.

Mechanical engineers often need a basic, space-saving linear guide when designing technology that performs simple tasks, such as vending machines. Since such technology does not handle high loads, high speeds or high positioning accuracy, intricate linear guides are not necessary. However, most solutions on the market are advanced, leaving manufacturers forced to either pay for features they do not need or develop their own linear guide.

The L.S. Starrett Co. has announced the introduction of the HVR100-FLIP, a new large field-of-vision (FOV) benchtop vision measurement system that is capable of being used in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, features a high-resolution digital video camera and minimal optical distortion for accurate FOV measurements of up to 90mm (3.65").

InterCoat ChemGuard from Chemcoaters Inc. is a new type of corrosion protection for galvanized steel. InterCoat ChemGuard uses a new type of coating technology that incorporates covalent bonds and enhances the effectiveness of zinc and substantially improves corrosion protection on galvanized steel.

Slater Tools introduces its new and comprehensive product line of GO/NO-GO gage sets for customer-specific applications. The full range of gages are designed and engineered precisely to inspect parts for machining process variations, such as form size, twist and tool wear.

Cortec R&D has developed an enhanced reformulation of VpCI-340 CLP for cleaning, lubricating, and protecting purposes. The upgraded formula has undergone extreme testing to ensure top-quality product performance geared toward the demands of military standards, the company reports.

The new MD133 Supreme milling cutter from Walter, designed specifically for dynamic milling, delivers increased process reliability, particularly during unmanned operation. It reportedly boosts productivity thanks to a higher metal-removal rate and a reduction in machining time.
