Millstar's Quad Force Machining carbide cutting tools provide four cutting actions in one tool. The series uses advanced chipmaking technology that combines geometries for high-speed machining, trochoidal machining, plunge milling, and slide and slot milling, according to the company. The tools are suitable for cutting soft or hard tool and die steel, stainless steel and titanium. The multifunctional design eliminates the need for additional tools, decreases the number of tool changes and simplifies programming.

Transor Filter USA offers a line of central oil filtration systems for tool and cutter grinders. The units can be expanded by adding a filter module that consists of three filter vessels, filter pump and plumbing. Model V9 can service up to 10 grinders, and the system can incorporate three additional machines by adding a module. The systems filter to a 1µm level, control oil temperature and automate sludge handling.

The Mikron MILL P 800 U ST is the first machine tool from GF Machining Solutions LLC to combine milling and 4-axis simultaneous turning in a single clamping. The machine has a 20,000-rpm HSK T63 spindle. Water-cooled torque motors on the A and C axes ensure accuracy and stability, while speed is enhanced through the axes' 0.3-second clamp time in any position.

Walter USA LLC offers a solid-carbide, through-coolant drill for ISO-P and ISO-K materials. The design allows coolant flow to encompass the entire drill point, producing optimal cooling of both the drill and the tool/workpiece interface, according to the company. Controlling the coolant flow contributes to fine surface finishes, helping users avoid reworking holes. More material behind the cutting edge enhances sturdiness and boosts tool life stability and process reliability.

Monolith extended-reach endmills from Ultra-Tool International Inc. have overall lengths up to 12" (304.8mm); runout at that length is 0.0003" (0.0076mm). SmoothFlute variable-helix, 5-flute, 45°-helix and roughing styles are available, as well as 2- and 3-flute tools for cutting aluminum.

Zoller Inc. offers the »pomBasic« inspection device. The »pomSoft« image-processing software measures the geometries of drills, milling cutters, countersinks and now saw blades.

SICK announced the launch of the TriSpector1000 vision sensor for cost-efficient and reliable 3D inspection. The TriSpector1000 is a stand-alone, configurable 3D vision sensor that reliably inspects objects regardless of variations in object color, shape or position.

Heimatec Inc.'s line of 1:4 live tool speed multipliers enable tools to reach a maximum speed of 24,000 rpm. They are available for all popular live tool lathes. The speed multipliers are provided as axial or radial drilling and milling heads, with either internal or external coolant. Mounting configurations suit virtually any machine tool turret setup, including VDI and BMT sizes.

Seco Tools LLC offers PCD05- and PCD20-grade PCD-tipped milling inserts for its Turbo 10 cutter bodies. The inserts are suitable for cutting aluminum, titanium, polymers and fiber-reinforced composites. When used with carbide inserts, the PCD-tipped inserts act as wiper inserts in fixed pockets. The two grades come in the company's X010 insert size with a corner radius of 0.016" (0.4mm) and a wiper length of 0.43" (1.08mm).

FMT beveling tools from Fastenal Co. are for cutting inside and outside bevels, pipe beveling, countersinking and generating radius paint edges. The spark-free, heat-free tools enable users to make head changes in 30 seconds. The electric FMT Bevel Mate is capable of bevel depths up to ½" (12.7mm), and the pneumatic FMT Bevel Mite is capable of bevel depths up to ¼" (6.4mm).

Iscar Metals Inc. offers Heli IQ Mill inserts for numerous milling applications across a variety of industrial sectors. The three helical cutting edges reduce cutting forces and power consumption, according to the company. The inserts are now available in cermet for machining medium to hard materials, are peripherally ground for milling stainless steel, and are ground sharp and diamond-polished for cutting aluminum.
