The MIL-Spec 5015 series from Mencom Corp. was originally designed for severe aeronautical and tactical service applications. Due to the rugged and versatile design, these connectors are widely used in a range of commercial and industrial applications, such as factory automation, robotics, instrumentation, medical equipment and power applications.

UnionChemnitz has developed a new precision boring mill. The KCG was developed to fill the gap in the market between a classic boring mill and a jig boring machine in terms of precision and price-performance ratio.

HEIDENHAIN Corp. announces the release of its next generation testing device, the PWT 100. The PWT 100 is a compact standalone device used for checking the function and adjustment of HEIDENHAIN encoders, and is ideal for mobile use.

To make the fine machining of the crankshaft bearing journals on a machining centre economical, line boring bars are often used. With an innovative concept, MAPAL has been able, in collaboration with a machine manufacturer, to optimize this processing in several ways: Compared with conventional line boring bars, quality can be increased, processing can be sped up, and tool service life can be increased, all thanks to the new line boring bars with compensation-enabled cutting edges.

The Tritan-Drill, the 3-flute drill from MAPAL, achieves more bores, a longer tool life and lower machining costs compared with its twin-fluted companion. The Tritan-Drill makes it possible to machine with a significantly higher feed rate. In both standard and special designs, it combines process reliability and high performance.

Marposs Corp.'s Brankamp CMS system for collision monitoring is designed to reduce or even eliminate machine collisions that generally lead to high repair costs and long downtimes. The Brankamp CMS system detects dynamically increasing forces with damage potential within milliseconds and sends a stop signal to the machine drives.

Microcut, a manufacturer and distributor of miniature and microsized carbide cutting tools, has produced a 180-page catalog, It includes new lines of variable-helix 3-flute endmills in long-reach, long-shank, long-flute and corner-radius versions. In addition, 272-degree spherical endmills, miniature long-reach corner-rounding endmills, and 82-degree drill point mills are offered.

Mitutoyo America Corp. announces the release of the new TM microscope series, with enhanced features and ergonomic design. Mitutoyo TM series is a toolmakers' microscope well-suited for measuring dimensions and angles of machined metals.

Palmgren says its Powergrind XP bench grinders provide more horsepower, torque and value-added features. They are designed for heavy-duty use and long duty cycles.

Akuma indexable carbide inserts from Travers Tool Co. inc. use advanced substrates, high-tech coating processes and progressive geometries to provide tools for today's demanding machining applications.

Rushmore USA's solid-carbide endmills from Travers Tool Co. Inc. reportedly ensure better chip evacuation and higher metal-removal rates. Cutting Tool geometry is designed to prevent failures as a result of aluminum sticking to the cutting edge.

Pioneer N.A. has released its new Big Bore 800mm rotary table, starting at $76,000 with 11,572 ft./lbs. of brake torque, 800mm OD and a large 450mm (17.7") ID through-hole. Designed for vertical and horizontal applications, long life and easy maintenance, according to the company.
