COMBI tooling from Heule Precision Tools can be configured to drill, chamfer, countersink, and in certain configurations, spotface in a single, compact tool. This technology eliminates tool changes, reduces cycle times and enhances efficiency while ensuring consistent, high-quality results with each operation, the company says.

The 770MX CNC mill from Tormach offers more power, faster motion and multiple operator-focused improvements that was designed for shops and teams that need high performance in a compact footprint. The mill features a series of enhancements intended to reduce cycle times, improve ease of use and support consistent, repeatable machining performance across a wide range of applications.

Platinum Tooling Technologies, Inc., the exclusive importer of Heimatec live tools and angle heads, offers Heimatec speed increasers that are now available in a complete range and are designed for popular live tool lathes and Swiss-style machines, offering gear ratios of 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 with maximum speeds of 48,000 rpm.

The Royal MTC Multi-Tasking Chuck from Royal Products is designed to handle large-diameter parts, small-diameter parts, and parts suited for I.D. gripping. According to the company, the key to this all-in-one design is the quick-change center hubs – there is no need ever to remove the chuck body from the lathe spindle.

Sumitomo Electric Industries has added shanks for internal coolant supply without a hose and external turning heads for ISO inserts to the Indexable Head Type Quick Change Tool Holder APM series for Small Lathes and Autolathes.

Fastems’ higher payload version of its Flexible Pallet System (FPS) is designed to integrate larger machining centers. FPS is a modular automation system that enables high spindle utilization in mixed manufacturing with 4 and 5 axis milling and mill-turn machines. The FPS-1500 features a modular 360-degree design, integration capability with over 90 machine tool brands, and production planning capabilities.

The Tsugami M08SY turning center performs highly complex machining such as turning, drilling, boring, cross-drilling and CNC milling. The company says the main and subspindle are equipped with integral, built-in spindle motors, which minimize vibration and provide superior acceleration and deceleration for heavy-duty cutting and fine finishing.

As a solid “first step” into 5-axis machining for some shops, Mazak’s VARIAXIS C-600 offers four spindle options that allow shops to find the ideal balance of speed and power. In addition to the standard 12,000 rpm CAT40 spindle, 15,000 rpm, 18,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm options are available in CAT 40, Big Plus or HSK A-63 types.

The DLC-coated DS2000 Series tooling from Tungaloy Corporation has been optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous metal machining, and the company says it delivers superior surface finish, extended tool life, and enhanced productivity across turning and milling operations.

The EZ-SmartTower from Lyndex-Nikken is a machine tracking solution that is designed to increase machine shop efficiency by streamlining ROI analysis of machine tools. The EZ-SmartTower provides real-time machine analytics, empowering businesses to make data-driven decisions and maximize productivity – with no specialized expertise required.The EZ-SmartTower enables machine shops to seamlessly monitor and analyze production data of up to 30 machines from a single, centralized computer.

MAPAL expanded its NeoMill milling program with three new series specifically tailored to the requirements of series production: NeoMill-16-Finish, NeoMill-16-Face, and NeoMill-Alu-Rough. The company says that all three milling cutter series stand for high efficiency and process reliability as well as sustainable manufacturing – and thus integrate seamlessly into the existing portfolio.NeoMill-16-FinishThe NeoMill-16-Finish was developed for demanding surface finish and dimensional accuracy applications.

The Speroni STB Aequilibria line of tool balancing systems from Big Daishowa reportedly contributes to higher speeds, higher chip removal rates and better surface finish.
