The new WM 250 – 8000 whirling machine from Burgsmüller GmbH gives users substantially enhanced precision during hard whirling of ballscrew spindles over the entire machining length with a maximum ±7µm pitch diameter tolerance. A third prism-jaw self-centring steady rest with user-selectable position fixes and centers the free end of the bar stock, while the spindle axis is kept free so that the bars can be pushed through it.

Controx-Neuhauser solid-carbide blades are available in widths from 0.005" and width tolerances of 0.0002", are suitable for precision cutting applications like dicing semiconductors, such as surface mounted-devices (SMD) resistor chips. They feature tight diameter tolerance within one set of blades, which allows them to cut through the chips and into but not through foil of the wafer.

Walter has introduced the M2136, a multitooth close-pitch finishing cutter that features a high degree of process reliability coupled with superior cost effectiveness, particularly with cast iron, thanks in part to its eight cutting edges per insert. These stable, negative inserts promote not only stability but also ease of handling as well as leading to high levels of surface quality during the finishing process.

BENZ has announced that it has introduced a new digital application named i.com, an Industry 4.0-ready application for monitoring the condition of its products. The BENZ i.com Smart-Factory smartphone and tablet application scans, saves and processes tool data and uses it to provide important information about the product's current condition.

The DeHoff G560-DR2 performs both gundrilling and reaming operations on gun barrels. After the barrels are gundrilled, a quick tooling changeover allows a pull-reaming operation to be performed using the same machine.

No. 843 is an 850°F (454°C), gas-heated cabinet oven from Grieve is used for curing paint on steel and aluminum test coupons at a customer's facility. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 20" W x 20" D x 20" H.

A heavy-duty ID clamping pipe milling end prep tool that can J-prep bevel, face and bore all hard pipe alloys in preparation for orbital welding is available from ESCO Tool. The Esco Prepzilla Millhog ID clamping end prep tool is offered with a wide selection of cutting blades, including a J-preparation blade that creates a consistent contoured radius and clean neck for orbital welding.

Thomson Industries Inc. has announced availability of new synchronization capabilities for its Electrak HD heavy-duty electromechanical linear actuators. Designers of equipment in which large or awkward loads must be moved repeatedly and evenly can simultaneously distribute that load using up to four actuators.

HEIDENHAIN Corp. announced improvements to its ERM 2200 and 2400 series of magnetic modular angle encoders with functional safety in mind. The ERM series has long been used by machine manufacturers around the world with great success and enthusiasm, according to the company.

EXAIR's new aluminum 2-1/2 NPT and 3 NPT threaded-line, vac air-operated conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a powerful conveying system for parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials. Their large size makes them ideal for conveying big parts and large volumes of material over long distances.

Guyson's Multiblast 3D is tailored for use with post-processing of 3D-printed parts. The Multiblast 3D has the ability to create a wide array of surface finishes for both cosmetic and/or functional purposes.
