Four high-pressure coolant systems from machine tool equipment and accessory supplier CNC Indexing & Feeding Technologies each are engineered to match the production and economic requirements of differing manufacturing environments. For any manufacturer, the addition of high-pressure coolant capability increases productivity by enabling use of increased feeds and speeds, boosting workpiece quality and surface finish, and reducing manufacturing costs via increased tool life.
Rockford Systems offers a line of electrically interlocked safety shields for cutting and turning machines that protect operators against flying chips, sparks, debris, and coolant. The electrical interlock prevents machines from starting until the shield is positioned safely in front of the hazardous area, also called the point-of-operation.
Seco Tools adapted its line of reliable, accurate thread chaser holders to support Steadyline vibration damping bars and Capto tooling. With special carbide-pin locating systems, patented pocket seat surface patterns and high-pressure coolant delivery, these holders reportedly guarantee consistent insert positioning, superior rigidity and effective chip evacuation.
Leading Marks LLC announces a package for pattern labeling that improves legibility for cast-in identification, and provides cost savings through labor and material costs. A marking press and a custom designed accessory package impact legends in one stroke of the press rather than rotating wheels one character at a time.
Northfield Precision Instrument Corp. reported that when a customer requiring a highly specialized diaphragm chuck was not finding success with other chuck manufacturers, they turned to Northfield Precision Instrument. The chuck needed to be submersible for use in a wire EDM. To achieve this, the engineers at Northfield designed a specialized chuck with all non-stainless steel wetted parts.
Nanodiamond material specialist Carbodeon of Finland has worked with metal finishing specialist CCT Plating of Germany to develop a new electroless nickel, PTFE and nanodiamond composite coating. Electroless nickel-PTFE (EN-PTFE) coatings provide excellent anti-adhesive and low friction properties but are traditionally soft and wear quickly in abrasive conditions.
Fastems introduces the latest release of its software for automated pallet handling for the metalworking industry. Fastems' Manufacturing Management Software (MMS) is for automatic production processing, complete with planning, controlling, visualization and monitoring capablities.
Kwik Mark Inc. introduces its new line of X Series markers, which reportedly improve overall operation and streamline every aspect of marking your products. The smarter design boasts high performance for the most demanding applications.
Built for high output and heavy-duty performance, Palmgren's 10-Inch automatic horizontal bandsaw offers extremely tight tolerances in both cutting repeatability and accuracy even at high cutting rates. It is equipped with a hydraulic shuttle vise feed system with split vises that securely clamp the workpiece.
Heule Tool Corp. introduces new COFA-C series tooling for deburring elliptical or contoured surfaces in larger diameters. Replaceable solid-carbide coated blades for holes from 6 - 26 mm are available from stock, with various coatings providing longer tool life and optimum performance based on materials being machined.
EXAIR's patented 1/4 NPT No Drip internal mix 360 degree hollow circular pattern atomizing spray nozzle atomizes fluid and sprays away from the nozzle in all directions. These can provide a smooth, even coating on the inside diameter of a pipe or similar ductwork.
