The LNS Express 220 S2 automatic, magazine bar feeder faultlessly loads 12' long bars with diameters from 2 mm to 20 mm and, with bar preparation, up to 26 mm to accommodate 20 mm machines with 26 mm bar capacity.

Riten introduces a modified face driver specifically designed to hold workpieces with diameters of 2" or less. In lieu of individual drive pins, the unit features a multi-toothed drive disk that securely penetrates the face of the part. It is ideal for gear hobbing and other aggressive machining operations.

LACH DIAMOND introduces its newly developed PCD cartridge milling cutter »dia-blue-power«. A PCD monoblock milling cutter with brazed cutting edges, chip and shear angle and a large chip space created the basis for better performance and cost reductions in the automobile and composite industries, according to the company.

A full line of pneumatic rolling motors and tube expanders for straight-, flare-, long-reach and beaded rolls that prevent over and under expansion are available for sale or rent from Esco Tool.

With Kitagawa/NorthTech Worlkholding's automated pallet jaw system, robotic automation is a viable solution for low- and moderate-volume parts production in a CNC lathe.

The ASL-100 from Ganesh Machinery is a slant-bed CNC Lathe with automatic load/unload capability for unattended operation on 2"- to 1/4"-diam. parts up to 2.2 lbs. The parts enter and depart the machine on individual fabric conveyer belts.

For the production of precision parts, toolcraft covers the complete process chain – from construction through manufacturing to quality control and nondestructive surface testing. The company's state-of-the-art machine pool ensures high-quality production.

Overheated cutting edges cause chip welding, tool chipping and ultimately decreased tool life. To compensate, operators frequently reduce spindle speeds or increase their consumption of cutting tools. Both options prove inefficient, as machining takes longer and the expense of constantly replacing dull tools can drain your bank account.

BIG KAISER introduces a series of new micro engraving cutters developed and built by its partner Sphinx (Derendingen, Switzerland). Building on Sphinx's microtooling expertise, the solid-carbide engraving cutters' sharp, positive cutting geometry promotes burr-free surface finishes and smooth transitions.

Aerotech's QNPHD linear piezo nanopositioning stages provide the benefits of both a stage and actuator in one compact, high-stiffness package. With a direct-metrology, capacitive sensor feedback option, high resonant frequencies, and high load capacity, the QNPHD is ideal for a range of high-speed and high-precision applications, such as scanning probe microscopy, disc-drive testing and semiconductor wafer articulation.

Walter Surface Technologies announced the launch of the new Surfox Wand, compatible with the Surfox 304 MIG and TIG weld cleaning system. The new Surfox Wand was designed with the end user in mind.

Vermont Indexable Tooling announced the release of its patent-pending LS boring bar line. These boring bars are ready for work, equipped with a CNC shank and overall geometries that are designed to bore through a multitude of materials.
