Unlike conventional microscopes, the eyepiece‐less technology built into the Lynx EVO from Vision Engineering overcomes the ergonomic challenges faced with binocular microscopy. Operators experience both optical and postural ergonomics giving them ease of use with less physical strain.

With companies' demands shifting from individual machines to central systems to support many different machines, Eriez HydroFlow continues to invest in improving and simplifying the design of their Rolled Media Vacuum Filter System. These state-of-the-art filters eliminate the need for multiple filters, free up valuable floor space and impart the highest level of performance and reliability.

Makino introduces the newly updated a51nx and a61nx horizontal machining centers. With the same rigid casting and axis designs of the original platforms, the updated a51nx and a61nx feature an expanded list of technology advancements, including increased spindle torque, innovative tool monitoring, advanced motion controls and the new Professional 6 control.

Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc.'s new HF PCD milling cutter provides highly efficient cutting of aluminum and nonferrous materials. For exceptional milling efficiency, the HF Series features a high-density design (3 teeth per inch).

The Leine & Linde 1000 series rotary encoder with speed monitoring capabilities from Heidenhain is used in applications where secure speed feedback is critical to protect motors, machinery or operators from risk of failure. This is especially useful on heavy moving machinery such as hoists, lifts, cranes and mining equipment, to name a few.

Okuma says its new LU3000 EX-M turning center is known for excellence in manufacturing precision parts in high production environments and is designed for reliability, longevity and maximized up-time. The LU3000 EX-M is built as an integrated production system with one goal in mind: to provide the customer with a machine that makes precision parts with the highest level of efficiency for years of trouble free production.

Small to large part workholding setups reportedly align and lock into position fast and accurately using Kurt's DockLock system. The DockLock system is a fast, accurate and repeatable technology for making setup changes on all types of horizontal and vertical machining centers.

Sumitomo's new BNC2000 series CBN grades perform with exceptional accuracy and productivity. The BNC2010 grade is designed for high precision hard turning.

Aerotech's QFOCUS QF-46 piezo nanopositioning stage series enables microscope objective and optics positioning at high-speeds with nanometer-level performance. It is available in closed-loop travels of 100 μm and 250 μm, and open-loop travels of 120 μm and 300 μm. The QF-46 is designed with next-generation optical instruments and laser machines in mind.

Designed specifically for Vertical Machining Centers, KME CNC's 5-axis platters are built right into a precision rigid meehanite cast iron trunnion frame and table. Standard models come with 1, 2, or 3 independent 5-axis platters on the trunnion table, giving your VMC full-range production capability.

Hardinge Inc. announces the release of their newest family of CNC Turning Centers, the TALENT 42 and 51. The Hardinge TALENT series machines reportedly offer an exceptional combination of features for accuracy, flexibility, and durability in a compact design.

Thomson Industries Inc. has built upon its selection of miniature metric precision ball screws to include three common interface styles: flanged, threaded and rounded. This comprehensive offering equips customers with even more options when designing small-space applications.
