The latest edition of Alphacam, from Vero Software has new features ranging across the modules, making it easier to use and improve productivity.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Co. Ltd. has developed the "µV5" (micro V5) micro milling machine, the latest in its µV (micro V) series. The µV5 has a bigger working surface table and wider process stroke than the current µV1, allowing for high-efficiency machining with micrometer-level (1/1,000 mm) precision for large products or those that require fine milling using small diameter tools, such as molds for car optical components.

IntelLiDrives Inc. offers the yaw-tilt rotary system. The integrated 2-axis rotary assembly provides high-speed micromachining capabilities for complex 3D part geometries and for general testing, purpose pointing, scanning and tracking applications for small optics, antennae and other sensors.

American Workholding Inc. offers Force Gauge, an effective, lightweight, mostly hand-held, direct-reading gauge. It gives an operator, setup man or quality control individual an instant and accurate reading of actual lbs/tonnage force data for many shop floor situations.

HEIDENHAIN updates its kit angle encoder line by modifying the ECA 4000 ring encoder to be able to survive and provide angular motion feedback within various machine types using a vacuum environment. Now able to handle a vacuum environment down to 10-7 mbar, the ECA 4000V encoder series has had a number of technical updates to accommodate high resolution and accuracy inside the vacuum chamber.

Stronghold Coatings introduces PlasticMetal, a two-component repair technology that can be mixed in various ratios for small and medium repairs to many types of metal. Unlike pre-mixed polymers, which have a set viscosity, this resin and powdered metal system can be mixed in small quantities in thicknesses to suit particular application requirements.

J.W. Winco Inc. offers GN 303 (with steel components) and GN 303.1 (with stainless steel components) zinc die cast adjustable levers with push-button, threaded-stud type. The adjustable hand levers with push button, which are RoHS compliant, have proven to be ideal wherever parts have to be clamped in a confined space or in a particular lever position.

Mitutoyo America Corp. announces the release of lever-type dial test indicators with increased durability, sensitivity and readability. A wide array of styli and ruby tips allows for probing of many applications. Stylus length is marked on the dial face to assist customers when ordering replacement styli.

Emuge Corp. has introduced Cut & Form solid-carbide finishing endmills that feature a patented tool geometry that performs two functions: cutting and polishing in one operation, generating significant manufacturing time and cost savings.

KORLOY has launched new chipbreakers " MM " (Medium Machining) and " RM " (Rough Machining) for stainless steel materials. Stainless steel can be classified into three groups: austenite, martensite and ferrite. In principle, the surface of stainless steel materials generally tends to be very smooth and coupled with a very strong corrosion resistance.

Cortec has made it easy for industries to create their own custom-sized recyclable bags and envelopes with EcoShield heat-sealable paper. Whether a company needs to manufacture its own standard or custom bag for a specific product, or whether extra wide paper is needed to make paper bags, sleeves, or envelopes on demand, EcoShield heat-sealable paper is ready to use.

The POKOLM GUIDE app is a "smart access" to the mobile world of POKOLM Frästechnik GmbH & Co. KG. With just a single app, POKOLM offers a broad array of sophisticated functions for users of milling technology, with each of them being a useful tool in your daily work. Once it is installed, you have all important functions at your fingertips, even without connection to the Internet.
