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.

The deluxe line of variable-speed grinders from Palmgren delivers the power, precision and versatility to complete a wide range of finishing applications. At high speeds, they reportedly are the ideal choice for heavy material removal, deburring and chamfering.

TM Robotics, in partnership with Toshiba Machine, announced the newest in Toshiba Machine's BA Cartesian series, the BAIII. Unlike most Cartesian suppliers, the Toshiba Machine solution is a plug-and-play offering as all cables, junction boxes, brackets, motors and controllers are supplied with the actuators.

Advanced CNC systems from NUM are helping U.S. machine tool control specialist CNC Onestop Inc. to maintain its competitive market edge through use of ultraprecise positioning techniques. Based in Xenia, Ohio, and also operating in Toronto, Canada, CNC Onestop is a CNC engineering company that specializes in full CNC, motor and drive retrofits for machine tools, as well as machine rebuilds and troubleshooting.

A new vision system from Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH is based on the triangulation method, which reportedly improves bin picking by ensuring greater accuracy, better component recognition and faster handling. The smart removal of workpieces from a random arrangement, so-called "bin picking," is a classic automation application.

Tungaloy Corp. announces the expansion of DrillMeister, a head-changeable drill series. The drill body line is now expanded to L/D=12 in addition to the existing L/D=8 range.

The TRAUB TNL18 series Swiss-style automatic lathes perform even more dynamically with an enhanced CNC, axis amplifier and more dynamic drives, resulting in significantly improved accelerations and top speeds. In extensive tests, the developers made sure that the mechanical conditions of the machine harmonize with the new dynamics.

A new laser measuring system provides repeatable measurement to 0.0001" and automatic machine compensation while reducing scrap during production of precision cutting tools. The ANCA LaserPlus is said to assure tight tolerances and grinding process stability.

To bring needed safety to the shop floor, Rockford Systems LLC has launched a new milling machine draw bar cover (part #DBC001) to protect vertical mill workers from rotating shafts 7 feet or less from the floor or working platform.
