Preco Inc. announces the Lightning Bolt 2000 laser system for processing of accurate micro features on metallic, ceramic and polymer materials. The system is customizable to accommodate a range of IR, green and UV wavelengths and nanosecond, picosecond and femtosecond lasers and can be configured for specific process requirements.

Sandvik Coromant has unveiled its CoroPlus suite of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions aimed at helping manufacturers prepare for Industry 4.0. The concept is designed specifically to improve the control of productivity and costs through a combination of connected machining and access to manufacturing data and expert knowledge.

Sandvik Materials Technology offers Sanmac, a stainless steel material that can significantly increase machining rates. Year on year Sandvik Research & Development has applied and tested process improvements upgrading the melt of Sanmac material. The result is the introduction of new generation Sanmac, a dedicated stainless steel material available in a range of grades.

Spectroline TRITAN 365 series are multi-LED, broad-beam UV-A (365 nm) lamps for a range of NDT applications. Each lamp features three ultra-hi-flux UV-A LEDs for NDT inspection, plus a white light LED to illuminate dark work areas.

Spectrum CNC Technologies announced the release of SmartTouch; the intelligent interface provides machine operators with easy touch screen access to multi-DNC files and serves as a feedback loop for job status information. Operators can report parts counts, downtime reasons and much more. Customizable "one-touch" buttons make feedback fast and easy.

Walter Surface Technologies launched its redesigned Zip Wheel. The new abrasive disc offers even higher efficiency and better performance than its predecessor.

Weiler Abrasives Group has announced the upgrade of its Roughneck and Wolverine 4-inch Stringer Bead wheels. The Stringer Bead wheels have been reengineered to deliver maximum cleaning efficiency and longer life.

MK Tools solid-carbide round tools from Monaghan Tooling Group introduces new "Speed-Drill R4" geometry, reportedly offering unparalleled cutting speeds and unprecedented tool life when cutting gray cast iron, ductile iron and forged steel, which are popular materials in automotive engine and chassis components.

The CL-1 from Haas Automation Inc. is an ultracompact CNC chucker lathe that comes standard with an 8-station automatic turret, making it ideal for producing small, precision parts, such as those found in the communications, aerospace, medical and dental industries.

Small parts manufacturing can pose significant machining challenges for the average job shop. Tiny holes, minute features, extreme accuracies and fine surface finishes may prove difficult for larger CNC machines. Haas Automation's new CM-1 compact mill is a small-footprint, high-accuracy solution for the production and prototyping of small, high-precision 2D and 3D parts, such as those found in the communications, aerospace, medical and dental industries.

Haas Automation's Next Generation Control (NGC) is the latest evolution of a user-friendly CNC. It reportedly features a significantly improved user interface, more consistent and intuitive navigation and vastly improved connectivity.

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.
