PCT says its IXC series is engineered with a 45° protective corner chamfer and coolant holes to eliminate chipping on the cutting edge and permit efficient chip evacuation. The tool's design consists of distinctive triple-margin for advanced precision and a smooth finish on the part.

PCT's NXC series is engineered specifically for nickel-based drilling applications. The tool's design features a double- margin geometry, coolant holes and a slow helix to provide you with advanced chip evacuation and a stronger cutting edge.

To add to its catalog of harnessed-ready cables, igus offers a wide price range of chainflex cables with matching connectors, professionally harnessed to 24 manufacturer standards. Select from up to seven price/performance levels of chainflex cable, all with guaranteed service life in dynamic applications for up to 36 months.

YG-1 says its ONLY ONE endmills are made of a new composition of P/M accompanied by the latest coating technology, giving this tool excellent wear and shock resistance. The substrate/coating combination provides for better adhesion and a stronger cutting edge without compromising shock resistance.

Kyocera's new CA3-series CVD-coated carbide inserts are for turning cast iron. The CA3-series grades with new K-series chipbreakers have become powerful contenders for gray and nodular cast iron machining applications, according to the company.

The Nmark GCL controls Aerotech's AGV series scanners, reportedly resulting in industry-leading settling times, long-term thermal stability and micron-level tracking accuracy due to advanced features such as full-state feed-forward, 200 kHz servo rates, and look-ahead-based velocity control. The Nmark GCL uses advanced interpolation electronics to provide up to 26-bits of effective resolution.

Klüber Lubrication has introduced Klübersynth GE 4 80 W 140, a fully synthetic high-performance gear oil based on polyalphaolefin (PAO) that offers high stability and protection even under shock loads. With Klübersynth GE 4 80 W 140, Klüber Lubrication complements its range of efficient high-performance oils for railway gears.

Hermle has introduced the C 250 as a complement to its existing C 400 unit (introduced in 2012), and offers yet another affordable way for customers to enter the 5-axis category while still delivering the precision required at the most demanding level of machining.

Siemens introduces a second addition to its popular Sinamics DCP product family of scalable (4X), bidirectional DC-DC drives. The DCP 120kW facilitates the integration of larger energy storage systems such as batteries and supercapacitors into multi-generator applications for a variety of industrial, smart grid and e-mobile uses, including photovoltaics, fuel cells, wind power and high dynamic uses such as peak shaving.

ecom instruments is expanding its mobile worker ecosystem with a new peripheral, the hand-held scanner Ident-Ex 01 for Division 1/Zone 1 and 21. The new enterprise mobility solution reportedly helps companies to substantially improve the way in which they operate, enforce security, provide safety and manage assets and workflows.

When it comes to coordinate measuring machines, manufacturers want less downtime and lower cost of ownership. In response to customer feedback OEM AIMS Metrology has designed and introduced a linear motor-driven CMM with 5-axis measurement capabilities.

The dynamic new generation of the ABC machine from INDEX is ideal for turning out simple to moderately complex parts in cycle times up to 15% faster than the previous generation with rapid spindle acceleration (8 g), shorter spindle ramp-up times, higher rapid traverse rates, and quick chip to chip times, according to the company. Ideal for runs from 5,000 to 50,000 parts in the 42 to 60 mm range, the machine's combination of features supports a low production cost per piece, even for complex parts.
