WDS Component Parts Ltd. has extended its offering of medium-tensile T-bolts with the addition of a forged steel option that provides more strength and wear resistance than mild steel. These are aimed at applications where the high strength of low-alloy, high-tensile steel bolts is not appropriate.

Hypertherm introduces the availability of FlushCut consumables for more Powermax plasma systems. These new consumables are designed to work at 45 amps on Powermax45 XP, 65, 85, and 105 systems. In addition, owners of the original Powermax45 can use the consumables provided they upgrade to a Hypertherm Duramax series torch. Previously, FlushCut consumables were only recommended for use on Powermax105 and Powermax125 systems.

Palmgren says its cold saw is ideal for very precise, burr-free cuts in low- and high-carbon steels and medium-gauge tubes and profiles. Its pivot head design permits fast, accurate miter cuts and is ideally suited for low- to medium-volume product cutting applications.

UNITED GRINDING introduces the HELISET PLUS, a new manual measuring system from WALTER that contributes to the reduction of complex tool machining time by as much as 30 percent. Once integrated into tool production processes, the HELISET PLUS concurrently performs measurement operations previously done in separate tool preparation areas or within the machine that actually produces the tool.

Peter Wolters AC 700 double-side batch processing machine has been designed for high-precision series processing of small workpieces. Due to its modular construction, AC 700 can be used as a fine grinding, lapping, honing and polishing machine.

Users in research and industry increasingly rely on dry and robust vacuum solutions, which will also provide flexibility of use. With the modernized, air-cooled SCROLLVAC plus, Leybold offers a new uncomplicated, reliable fore vacuum pump, which exactly meets this requirement profile.

New from Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc., AC4010K and AC4015K series turning grades for cast iron feature recently developed technologies that result in a long and stable tool life. Consisting of a smooth cutting edge treatment, the AC4000K series' use of high adhesion technology drastically improves peeling resistance, according to the company.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 49 percent of injuries from hydraulic power presses and press brakes result in the amputation of the operator's hand or fingers. Other bodily injuries include strangulation from loose clothing, and severe lacerations caused by material movement. To turn the tables on press injuries, Rockford Systems introduced the second generation of its SSC1500 control system upgraded with encoder-based positioning technology.

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence announced improvements to the operating temperature range of its TIGO SF shop floor coordinate measurement machine. The CMM, which has an operational range of between 15° C (59° F) and 30° C (86° F) as standard, now offers the XT option to extend this range up to 40° C (104° F). The XT option can be applied to all new machine orders and is available as an in-field upgrade for installed TIGO SF CMMs.

Arno Werkzeuge USA announces the introduction of their new SHARK-Cut multipurpose cutting tool platform for a range of turning applications. SHARK-Cut allows machines shops to use just one tool for four different machining operations including: facing, drilling, boring and turning.

In cooperation with Audi, Henkel has developed an auto body pretreatment process. The patented two-step process enables surface treatment of multi-metal auto bodies with an aluminum content of up to 100 percent.

OPEN MIND Technologies AG has developed a performance package of the hyperMILL CAM software suite. MAXX Machining offers three powerful modules for finishing, roughing and drilling on planar, ruled and curved surfaces often found in aerospace parts and other complex 5-axis components.
