Vortec cold air guns use vortex tube technology and filtered compressed air to produce sub-freezing air as low as -30 deg F (-34 deg C) for numerous industrial spot cooling applications. With no moving parts to wear out, cold air guns require no electricity at the target, just a compressed air source.

PRAB offers the vertical-axis crusher and diagonal-shaft centrifuge/wringer system for reclaiming cutting fluids and reducing bushy metal turnings into dry shovel-grade chips. Dry chips reduce haul-away costs, mitigate risk of spillage or environmental fines, and offer greater returns on metal with dealers.

Beamer Laser Marking Systems says it builds the Beamer laser marking machines around productivity and precision. Benchtop, full-enclosure and XL models are available. The newest machines have a larger Z-axis travel, an enhanced fiber- laser power source and more user-friendly software, enabling them to replace old and inefficient parts marking technologies, according to the company.

Heule Tool Corp.'s VEX-P tool combines a replaceable, solid-carbide, high-performance drill tip and the company's SNAP chamfering system to enable drilling and front and back chamfering in one operation. The cutting geometry creates short chips when machining steel, aluminum and other long-chipping materials and has a helix gullet for chip evacuation.

OSG USA Inc. offers the EXOPRO AERO-D-REAM drill/reamer for cutting carbon and glass-fiber composites. The tool has a tapered 4-flute design to limit peel-up at the hole entrance and an elongated, double-angle geometry to reduce thrust and limit exit delamination.

Mil-Tec Inc. says its Freedom Cutter low-profile, indexable milling system offers the value and performance of the standard Freedom Cutter but has less mass and half the weight. It is ideal for single-pass finishing on 40-taper CNC machines and small milling machines. The low-profile cutter accepts all standard Freedom Cutter inserts.

TechMet Carbides Inc. says its Flute-Tech diamond grinding wheels have a universal hybrid bond system that performs better than polyimide bond systems at a similar price point. The diamond wheels are easy to true and dress on conventional truing equipment and are suitable for use with all spindle powers.
