Makino has created a new 5-axis version of its V33i hard milling vertical machining center, the V33i-5XB. The V33i platform provides extreme dynamic accuracy for long hours of continuous hardmilling, and the new 5-axis capability provides for reduced part setups and extreme accuracy in contoured shapes.

Makino introduces its EDNC6 and EDNC8 sinker EDMs that combine rigid and precise construction, simple touch-screen programming and advanced performance features for accurate and fast cutting of large workpieces. Makino says its proprietary technologies included on the EDNC6 and EDNC8 ensure the ideal mix of speed, surface finish and reduced electrode wear.

Sandvik Hyperion's new AM60 carbide grade is an advanced substrate developed to increase machining productivity and performance for applications that require CVD diamond coating.

Doosan Machine Tools America offers its latest generation of advanced multi-tasking turning centers: the PUMA SMX series. There are six models in the line, stepped in size and capabilities. Most offer the configuration of equally sized and powered left and right spindles plus a B-axis milling spindle.

Sandvik Hyperion's carbide grade AM70 is an advanced substrate developed to increase machining productivity and performance in titanium and ISO M materials. The AM70 grade is comprised of a combination of submicron carbide grains that provide the perfect mix of toughness and wear resistance.

Sandvik Hyperion is introducing diameter tolerances in high-performance endmill blanks described as RUGI. New tolerances exceed the industry standard with an advanced round tool blanks specification.

Sandvik Hyperion's BZN V-Series PCBN grades provide versatility in three key aspects of machining of hardened ferrous materials. First, the grades are able to work in case hardened, bearing steels, powder metal alloy steels, and tool steels.

Sandvik Hyperion offers Compax veined PCD. This product offers diamond sintered within slotted veins oriented along a 30 degree helix angle. Its nibs are designed specifically for use in machining of CFRP and CFRP-metal stacks.

C.R. Onsrud introduces its 5­-axis Compact High Rail tailored to the more demanding higher load and larger work volume requirements of the aerospace, automotive, medical and defense industries. ​Options include retractable roof for easy material loading, large capacity toolchangers and multiple spindle configurations to meet varying machining needs.

Memex Inc. announced two new modules to the MERLIN open platform: MERLIN Financial Overall Equipment Effectiveness (FOEE) and MERLIN DNC. According to the comany, most manufacturers are totally in the dark in terms of knowing in real-time if they are making or losing money on a given machine tool, shift or plant. With the introduction of MERLIN FOEE, the company addresses this critical issue by combining OEE with financials.

C.R.Onsrud introduces a hybrid of traditional milling technology with the productivity of high-speed machining. This American-made 5-axis machining center is configured with dual tables eliminating load unload time. It also has the capability to electronically lock the two tables together for machining of large parts.
