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.

JW Winco Inc. offers GN 214.2 metric size, rapid release pins with plastic push button, steel shank, securing pins and pull ring. The RoHS compliant rapid release pins are used for quick assembly, connecting and locking of various jig and fixture systems.

Sandvik Coromant has unveiled a new range of CoroTurn Prime multitask and axial-type toolholders to help machine shops implement the new PrimeTurning methodology, which enables turning in all directions. The introductions allow users to maximize the benefits of PrimeTurning on multitask turn-mill centers and vertical turning lathes (VTLs).

HEIDENHAIN offers the new HEIDENHAIN-SPECTO ST 3087 RC-length gage, optimally designed for measurement applications in harsh environments, e.g., in metalcutting production areas. It has an IP 67 level ingress protection to allow parts to be measured directly at the grinding, cutting or forming location, instead of removing them to quality islands or laboratories.

Knuth Machine Tools USA Inc. says its X.mill M 900 provides long life and has a 30-bar ICS system (inside coolant supply).

The ABS 325 L from Knuth Machine Tools USA Inc. is a fully automatic bandsaw. According to the company, it provides enhanced automation, fast cutting action and less downtime.

Walter has introduced the Walter has introduced the M2471, a copy milling cutter with excellent cost efficiency thanks to its high metal-removal rate -- even on low performance machines, coupled with lower cutting material costs resulting from its eight cutting edges (four per side) per insert.

CHIRON introduces its new vertical twin-spindle 5-axis machining center, DZ08 FX Precision. The machine includes contact-free linear direct drives in the X. Y and Z axes. These drives bring the spindles faster to optimum feed rates and permit increased traverse rates.

Madison Chemical introduces Compound RP-99S, a versatile water-based rust preventive for use on ferrous and copper metals. Applied to previously cleaned parts by immersion, manual spray or recirculated spray methods, Compound RP-99S leaves a nearly invisible, dry-to-the touch film that provides short-term indoor storage protection for treated parts lasting up to four weeks, or longer depending on concentration.

LMC Workholding offers the Energy series large-bore air chucks, featuring a built-in air cylinder and extra-large through-hole. The full spindle bore of the lathe can be utilized for through-hole work and long jaw travels provides more clearance for through feeding pipe.

Guyson's new multiple-axis CNC grit blaster was designed for a prep prior to coat application in the aerospace industry. The heart of this system is based around the blast manipulation with 4-axis controls directed by a Siemens CNC system and roof-mounted 2-axis cartesian gantry with table positional capability of 0° to 360°.
