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. These 12 mm positive cutting geometry, round inserts with negative basic shape feature Walter's Tiger·tec Silver coating, ensuring maximum tool life.

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. Compared to the previous model, this machining center produces aluminum components 20 to 50 percent faster, according to the company.

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°.

Radix Inc. announces the release of its advanced vision inspection technology, InspectTracker. Support for Industry 4.0 with digitization of data for manufacturers was the impetus behind the development of InspectTracker. In particular, the requirements for detailed inspection procedures for complex part surfaces, currently hand inspected in fluorescent penetrant inspection booths, or FPI booths, was an opportunity for digitization that InspectTracker addresses.

Some good ideas can be made even better. Much better. This was certainly the case when Kennametal engineers took the strength and versatility of their proven KSEM modular drill system and combined it with the ease of use and low feed forces of its smaller companion drill, KenTIP, the company reports. The resulting fusion of these advanced holemaking technologies is the KenTIP FS, a 6 mm to 26 mm, 1.5 to 12 x D modular drill that's simple to use, produces good hole quality, and is tough enough to compete with solid-carbide drills across a wide range of materials.
