Titan Tool Supply Inc. announces the addition of the ANSER LED gooseneck lamp to its stable of microscopy inspection products. Featuring an 18" flexible gooseneck mounted on a portable magnetic base, the LED lamp can be positioned in close proximity to work areas during manufacturing, assembly and inspection operations.

A pipe milling end prep tool for beveling water wall boiler tubes at biomass processing facilities in preparation for precision welding repairs is being introduced by Esco Tool. The Esco Wart MILLHOG is a boiler tube beveling machine that features a rigid ID clamping system and uses TiN-coated cutter blades to machine carbon steel or highly alloyed tubes without cutting fluids.

INDEX has developed a new generation of its turn-mill center G200, a compact machine that offers higher performance, potentially up to 30 percent greater productivity, in the same footprint as the earlier generation. The redesign of the machine resulted in an increase of the maximum turning length to 660 mm, a higher performance milling spindle and expanded live tool complement, as well as the XPanel with i4.0 readiness.

The DSM series of heavy-duty duplex milling machines from You Ji is engineered specifically for two-, four- or six-sided production squaring and chamfering of square and rectangular workpieces. Depending on the machine configuration chosen, end users can machine blocks as small as 0.750" x 0.750" (19.05 mm x 19.05 mm) and as large as 47" x 47" (1,175 mm x 1,175 mm) in maximum thicknesses ranging from 6" (150 mm with 10" cutter) to 16" (400 mm with 16.5" cutter).

Versatile, productive and reliable, the UNE 12-2 compact gundrilling system brings new levels of increased manufacturing capacity to a variety of industries, including automotive, medical and firearms. Whereas a shop may perform deep-hole drilling on Swiss automatic machine tools, a dedicated deep-hole drilling solution, such as the highly engineered UNE 12-2, significantly reduces lead times and provides a higher degree of accuracy and precision.

Automobile manufacturers are familiar with the problems associated with the microfinishing of crankshafts. After evaluating statistics from its fleet network, a well-known truck manufacturer has ascertained that a high percentage of reported crankshaft damage is due to particularly large loads on the bearings radii. Working closely with the German high-precision machine tool manufacturer Thielenhaus Microfinish, the truck manufacturer therefore decided to perform finishing work on the bearings as well as on the transition radii.

Emuge Corp. has introduced "circle-segment" cutters, a class of endmills designed to reportedly enable substantially more material removal with fewer passes in 5-Axis machining, over 80 percent cycle time reductions and up to 50 percent smoother surface finishes.

Brush Research Manufacturing is pleased to present the Flex-Hone for chamfer blending. This new line of specialty Flex-Hones are designed to blend and radius sharp edges and remove microburrs on chamfered holes eliminating stress risers caused by the chamfering operation.

Iscar Metals Inc.'s Heli Tang T490 milling cutter for roughing accepts inserts with serrated, chip-splitting grooves. These grooves can improve performance when the machine power is limited or when evacuating chips from narrow slots or deep cavities, according to the company.

Dormer Pramet launches new Pramet chipbreakers and grades. The NF1 and NF2 positive chipbreakers support turning applications in stainless steel while the FF2, FM2 and RM3 chipbreakers support steel and cast iron.

Mitutoyo announces the release of the RA-6000CNC, a custom-built CNC roundness/cylindricity measuring system with best-in-class accuracy. The RA-6000CNC is designed to measure large-size, heavy, cylindrical workpieces generally associated with automotive, energy, marine and aviation industries.

Mazak's VC-500A/5X vertical machining center has a trunnion-style rotary/tilt table that allows for the accurate, cost-effective processing of small complex parts via full 5-axis machining. The machine also features the MAZATROL SmoothX CNC that allows for easy programming and fast part cycle times, in either EIA or MAZATROL conversational.
