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 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.

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.

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.

The PGU 9500 automatic clamping unit is the newest member of REGO-FIX Tool Corp.'s well-established powRgrip family of toolholding. The system is smaller in size, ergonomic, energy efficient and practically maintenance free.

RÖHM Products of America now offers a powered external clamping chuck for gear surface face grinding. The KZF-S collet chuck is especially well-suited for clamping gears/workpieces that have an external plane or gear teeth geometries accessible from the outside.
