Samputensili offers a ground-breaking concept that totally eliminates the need for cutting oils during the grinding of gears after heat treatment. The new machine, which is called SG 160 SKY GRIND, features two spindles: one for skive hobbing and one for generating grinding.

The new TruPrint 1000 LMF 3D printer works like a selective laser melting 3D printer, using a powder bed process to build 3D parts by laying down a thin layer of metal powder materials onto the build surface while a 200-watt laser fuses the layer of powder along the contour of the part being printed.

Italian workholding manufacturer Gerardi SPA offers its new line of self-centering CompactGRIP vises for 5-axis machining. The line offers higher clamping power than existing vises, because the clamping screw design is positioned very close to the workpiece and the integral design of slides and jaws, according to the company.

Seco developed its new thread chaser insert holder to bring high levels of precision and rigidity to threading operations that involve tough materials including the hard, gummy or high-­chrome content ones used in the oil and gas industry. Such achievement is possible via a special carbide-­pin locating system combined with a patented pocket seat surface pattern and high-­pressure coolant capabilities.

Helfer Tool Co., Santa Ana, Calif., offers carbide cold heading tools, including carbide extrusion pins, carbide punches, and carbide hammer pins. Please give Helfer Tool a call, e-mail and attach a CAD file, or fax us a print for a prompt competitive quote.

Titan Tool Supply Inc. announces the introduction of its new line of flexible diamond finishing files for the removal of material in the maintenance of extrusion dies, aircraft components, and other difficult-to-reach areas for conventional means of finishing. They are designed for working with materials such as tungsten carbide, stone and marble, composite materials, industrial ceramics, reinforced plastics, fiberglass, ferrite materials, nonferrous materials, rubber, and glass.

Conventional "bump" knurling methods are undesirable for smaller diameter parts because the forces deflect the workpiece, according to Genevieve Swiss Industries Inc., Westfield, Mass. To control this problem, the company recommends using a straddle knurl holder to provide support to the workpiece while the knurling operation is performed.

Morse Cutting Tools has a companion for its popular SHEARTAP, the new SHEARDRILL. The SHEARTAP is a go-to tool in the Morse Tap Offering and like its companion, the SHEARDRILL, is designed to run in a wide variety of materials providing a performance production solution.

The new Top Cut 4 indexable drilling platform from WIDIA is targeted to end users that machine a broad assortment of products and need one drill for a variety of drilling applications and workpiece materials.

Even with minimal runout near the nose of the holder, conventional collet holders frequently see larger runout when measured at the cutting edge of longer tools. NT Tool's original "R" Zero system eliminates this problem by utilizing a four-point adjustment mechanism to adjust runout at the tool tip to as low as 0µm to 2µm.

J. Schneeberger Machinen AG offers two new grinding machines: the Gemini NGM (pictured) and the Sirius NGS. With both machines, space requirement was give special attention to achieve smallest footprint with a large work envelope.
