Tungaloy Corp. offers TungForce-Rec, the indexable miniature shoulder milling cutter. The TungForce-Rec insert has a unique V-shaped bottom to enhance the insert's resistance to centrifugal force, assuring reliability and high productivity during high-speed machining, according to the company.

Tungaloy Corp. introduces TungTri-Shred, a new shoulder milling cutter for highly productive machining. With today's dramatic growth in the performance of machine tools, high-speed machining is often the first choice for manufacturers.

SPRING Technologies announces the launch of its CAM WorkPackages, a set of interfaces between commercially available CAM solutions and NCSIMUL 4CAM (formerly NCSIMUL CAM). WorkPackages are provided for for CATIA (Dassault Systèmes), NX (Siemens), CREO (PTC), TopSolid'Cam (MISSLER) and Mastercam (CNC Software Inc.).

Allied Machine & Engineering announces Wohlhaupter's VarioBore precision boring head and system, a versatile and cost-effective tool that features a universal digital readout module. The VarioBore system improves productivity through ease and accuracy of adjustment and virtually eliminates scrap because of its exact adjustments.

Allied Machine & Engineering announces the expansion of its AccuPort 432/AccuThread 856 program to include more than 120 kits for manufacturing hydraulic ports and manifolds. The kits are available to meet SAE J1926, ISO I6149, John Deere G1731 and SAE AS5202 (aerospace standard/Mil-Spec) specifications.

All Sensors Corp. has announced a brand new low-pressure sensor, the BLC series. This new device series offers design engineers excellent performance over pressure ranges of ±1 inH2O through ±30 inH2O and 15 PSIA. The BLC series basic low-pressure compact sensor is based on All Sensors' CoBeam2 technology.

Saint-Gobain Abrasives has introduced CarbonForce, a new lightweight line of vitrified CBN wheels for OD grinding. With proprietary high-strength carbon fiber cores, CarbonForce wheels are 75 percent lighter than heavier steel-hubbed wheels and provide the safety and performance-enhancing benefits of a precision superabrasive wheel, according to the company.

Kennametal Inc. says the bending moment of KM4X is substantially higher than any tooling interface available on the market, superior even to Kennametal's own KM design. Kennametal has announced the KM4X tooling family has gained a 63 mm sibling, one aimed at a broader machine tool platform and, therefore, greater availability to the machining community.

DoForce-Tri from Tungaloy America accepts a double-sided insert with six cutting edges. Three types of inserts are available to meet the needs of many different jobs: a standard wiper insert with an MJ chipbreaker on true 90-degree cutting edges or with an NMJ chipbreaker on serrated cutting edges, as well as a radius insert with an MJ chipbreaker on large round corners for edge toughness instead of wipers.

J.W. Winco Inc. offers GN 421.12 metric size, technopolymer plastic, hollow knurled knobs with a stainless steel threaded stud and swivel thrust pad. Temperature resistant to 194° F (80° C), the RoHS-compliant hollow knurled knobs have a ball end whose diameter is smaller than the core diameter of the thread.

EXAIR's patented 1/4 NPT No Drip Internal Mix deflected flat fan atomizing spray nozzle atomizes fluid and sprays at a right angle to the nozzle orientation. This allows spray to be placed precisely where it is needed when the mounting and work areas are limited.

A line of sapphire cover glass windows and lenses for industrial cutting lasers that are more durable than fused silica to reduce the need for cover glass changes is available from Laser Research Optics.
