The T8 Hybrid 9-axis twin-spindle mill/turn center from Quicktech combines a 3-axis power turret and a 360˚ B-axis with a sub-spindle that features a 4-axis gang slide to enable complete machining of complex parts with a capacity of 38 tools. Quicktech machines are distributed in North America exclusively by Absolute Machine Tools Inc.

SPRING Technologies has enhanced the optimization capabilities of its flagship NCSIMUL package. The improvements are contained in the NCSIMUL OPTITOOL module of NCSIMUL MACHINE, SPRING Technologies' CNC machine verification software for simulating, verifying, optimizing and reviewing machining programs.

J.W. Winco Inc. offers GN 414 metric, stainless steel, safety indexing plungers with pin in protruding position. These RoHS compliant safety-indexing plungers are used when the inadvertent retraction of the plunger pin is to be prevented.

Increased ambient temperatures are tough on plant employees and equipment alike, especially sensitive electronics and controls housed within cabinets and enclosures. Vortec introduces Electric Vortex AC models, which are pre-wired, easy-to-install solutions that are operational in minutes to quickly cool sensitive electronics and controls.

A line of CO2 laser optics optimized for cutting and etching thin metals when fabricating filters, strainers and related applications is available from Laser Research Optics. Laser Research CO2 Optics include lenses that feature coatings with < 0.2% total absorption values to keep them cooler and silicon turning mirrors which have an enhanced DMBR coating to provide up to 99.6% reflectivity.

The new SmartFlex Helix conveyor from Dorner Manufacturing Corp. features a proprietary flexible chain manufactured by FlexMove, a Dorner Holding Co., located in Penang, Malaysia. The SmartFlex Helix can operate in a footprint as small as a 10' x 10', and is ideal for product handling applications where product needs to travel up or down in a confined space.

When a large new vessel is put to sea, it usually is equipped with a tunnel thruster (or bow thruster), which acts as a side propeller system to allow for additional maneuverability of the ship at berth and on open sea.

The new R220.88 facemilling cutter family from Seco features inserts with eight cutting edges and optimized geometries that provide excellent tool life and reduced cutting forces. The cutter body's 88-degree lead angle allows for large depths of cut with smaller insert sizes, as compared to 45-degree lead angle facemills.

Optoflash is the newest and fastest addition to the Marposs' optical measuring line and can measure small-size shafts, fasteners and dental implants. Its robust external structure allows the Optoflash to perform static and dynamic measurements in the production environment with the same quality as it does in the lab, according to the company.

Marposs has announced the availability of its new standalone ARTIS VM-02, featuring a MEMS or 3-axis piezoelectric monitoring sensor that measures in-process machine tool acceleration values (g), helping to minimize damages after a dynamic crash.

CADENAS is publishing Version 11 of its Strategic Parts Management PARTsolutions. The German software manufacturer aims to simplify the daily work of engineers and purchasers and to provide support for the optimization of design processes for the exploitation of hidden economic potential.

The MicroCut F miniature chamfer milling cutter from Denitool Inc. is for tube-end treatment and chamfering of small- to medium-size threads and countersinks. It is suitable for bore diameters as small as 2mm (0.079") in diameter.
