GTI Predictive Technology Inc., creators of the iPad Data Collector, unveiled VibePro 7.3 – a major new update to GTI's vibration analysis application for iPad. Developed specifically for the iPad, VibePro provides a simple and easy solution to performing vibration analysis on the iPad. New in version 7.3 are features many customers have been asking for.

Solid, dependable and engineered to meet increasing machine shop demands, characterize the new line of JET 8, 10 and 12 in. industrial bench grinders. These powerful, hard-working benchtop machines with 1 hp, 1-1/2 hp and 2 hp heavy duty capacitor motors, are smooth operators, anchored with cast iron bases for rigidity and minimial vibration.

The new JET metal dust collector stand is an ideal metalworking shop addition that captures abrasive dust, chips and other debris with a filter efficiency of 90 percent at 50 microns. The free-standing dust collector's turbo fan design provides maximum air movement of 472 CFM for effective metal dust collection.

Fives brings the combination live spindle and integrated contouring head (ICH) to its Cincinnati MEGA and Giddings & Lewis HMC Series horizontal machining centers, for expanded processing flexibility and dramatically reduced workpiece transfers and setups, with improved accuracy. The ICH's 220-mm (8.7-in) U-axis slide stroke provides the ability to produce small- or large-diameter features without head changing or manual intervention, allowing complex features to be machined in one setup with reduced cycle time and labor.

The basic rails of the CleverClamp system are calibrated to fit the EROWA UPC and EROWA MTS production tooling systems. The range of clamping elements can be quickly positioned on the serrated base rails and be used either horizontally or vertically.

Briney Tooling Systems worked closely with a manufacturer to develop a special dual-contact, CAT 50, stick turning toolholder for an Okuma MacTurn 550 mill/turn center. The customer had some special turning stick tools that were 1.5-inches square and there was no standard for the lathe stick tools.

Geometric Ltd. announced the addition of automated "Machine to the Mean" capabilities when working with Solidworks parts and assembly files that contain tolerance—or geometric dimensioning and tolerance (GD&T)—information. These automated mean tolerance calculation capabilities will eliminate the common practice of having to manually calculate allowances when defining CNC toolpaths or the need to rebuild 3D models to mean geometry, thus eliminating potential mistakes, while saving time and money, and streamlining the transition from design to manufacturing.

UNISIG engineered its new B700 Drop Bed machine to effectively generate the critical, high-precision features on large and irregularly shaped aerospace components, such as landing gear struts. Conversely, the flexibility of the machine allows it to also process medium-sized, more uniform-shaped workpieces with minimal changeover time from one to another.

Walter has introduced new parting blade adapters for BMT/DO machines that ensure precision cooling of both the insert and the parting blade, thus improving chip control and tool life, and helping to increase productivity. With the Walter design, the coolant flows through the adapter directly into and through the parting blade to the cutting zone.

The Inspection Arsenal Loc-N-Load quick-swap fixture system from Phillips Precision Inc. can now be ordered with air assist. Let your CMM and fixture plates do the heavy work. With a flip of a switch and one pinky finger, inspectors can easily glide the weight of an anvil across the granite.

The ISCAR Chameleon line is back and it's bigger with a diameter range from 1.3"-1.57". The new innovative CHAMIQDRILL employs a new insert positioning and locking mechanism that eliminates the need for clamps or screws commonly found on drills for larger diameters. This design allows for easy indexing on the machine to reduce setup.

Heat-treating contractors, metalforming shops and companies from the automotive and aircraft industries in particular require cost-efficient part cleaning and degreasing equipment capable of handling high capacities. Addressing this demand, Dürr Ecoclean has developed an innovative solvent-based cleaning system, the large-chamber EcoCDuty.
