Five-axis machining is a powerful tool for reducing setup time and increasing accuracy for complex parts. But investing in a 5-axis machine tool can be prohibitively expensive, especially for smaller shops. The new TR200Y dual-axis trunnion rotary table from Haas Automation puts 5-axis capabilities well within reach of the average job shop, and its compact size provides greater mounting flexibility.

The TRT70 dual-axis rotary table from Haas Automation delivers high-speed and accurate positioning for 3+2 and full 5-axis machining of small, complex parts – like those found in the medical, dental, and jewelry industries. The unit's ultracompact size and light weight reportedly make the TRT70 the perfect dual-axis solution for even the smallest machining center.

The new UMC-750P from Haas Automation Inc. is the latest addition to the company's lineup of 5-axis universal machining centers. The P designation stands for profiling and porting, and that's exactly what this machine is designed to do.

Walter has introduced its new Prototyp Advance line of solid-carbide milling tools for universal application. The new Advance milling cutter line consisting of six cutter types and 250 line items, each reportedly providing the ideal balance of hardness and toughness for the widest possible application, plus long tool life (increases of up to 50 percent) thanks to the Advance line's new high-performance WJ30TF grade and Walter's TiAIN coating.

Walter says it has unveiled a technology that promises to dramatically improve machining effectiveness. Called Tiger·tec Gold, it is the latest iteration of Walter's successful line of Tiger·tec and Tiger·tec Silver coatings.

Kern Precision says its Micro 5-axis milling machine does not only tout its reliability and precision, but also the size of its footprint, the capacity of its palletized toolchanger, its plug-and-play capability, its power and its versatility in terms of the size of workpiece it can accommodate.
