HEIDENHAIN announced the latest software version of QUADRA-CHEK Wedge, which enables users to quickly and efficiently export data into an Excel format from their HEIDENHAIN QUADRA-CHEK evaluation electronics. QUADRA-CHEK users with video inspection, microscope applications, optical comparator inspection or CMM applications will find this update useful.

Carbide-Roll burnishing tools by Elliott Tool Technology produce a mirror-like surface finish while eliminating secondary operations, machining setups, and operator labor and cost. These cost-effective, easy-to-use carbide rolls from Monaghan Tooling Group improve surface irregularities and tool marks, producing optimum surface finishes of 4-20 microinch (0.1 to 0.5 µm).

During machining, high speed is often associated with heat generation. But with the Alberti air-driven turboflex spindles from Koma Precision Inc. it's possible to reach 60,000 rpm without overheating the tool, according to the company. n

Dapra Corp.'s New EDGE2 double-sided DTB cutters and inserts feature twice the number of usable edges as single-sided button inserts for superior metal removal and value. These thick carbide inserts provide better heat and stress absorption, resulting in longer service life and increased strength, according to the company.

RobbJack says its A1-303 series allows you to machine deeper parts, slots and walls in one pass, with minimal chatter and vibration. The A1-303 tool's chatter-reduction geometry is ideal for high-speed machining of aluminum and other nonferrous materials.

The RobbJack says its DM/MDM series with new carbide and coating combination, eliminates or reduces the need for polishing, reduces wear by 909 percent, holds tighter tolerances and lasts 450 percent longer than comparable carbides and coatings designed for hard metal applications.

RobbJack's FM series with chatter-reduction geometry, tackles deep pockets, thin walls and other severe aluminum applications. These high-performance tools reduce or eliminate chatter and ledging, and in many cases, eliminate the need for secondary finishing operations.

VITRA represents the latest generation of vitrified-bonded Hermes precision grinding tools. This newest achievement of the Hermes research laboratories is based on an advanced high-performance, low-fired bond and an optimized microstructure.

TRUMPF's TruLaser 2030 fiber with new LiftMaster Shuttle is the ideal choice for fabricators looking for productivity and process reliability at competitive investment and operating costs. It is ideal for job shops running up to three shifts per day or for first-time laser users.

Winslow Engineering is a manufacturer of precise inspection equipment used by the cutting tool industry. The new motorized-zoom lens assembly on its 560L video tool analyzer enables the operator to select a zoom position in the software and the motorized-zoom lens will automatically move to the appropriate setting without manual lens adjustment.

What if your tools could talk to you, providing you with timely information about their status and the conditions they were encountering, as well as tips that enhance your specific application? With Walter's new wear-optimization app, they can.

Carr Lane Roemheld offers a wide range of hydraulic work supports that automatically adjust to the workpiece height, then lock securely to become fixed rests. Available in spring-advanced, fluid-advanced and air-advanced types, these work supports are extremely compact, starting at just 1" diameter, with maximum pressures up to 7,500 psi.
