The new absolute LC 195S and LC 495S sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines that need to be certified for functional safety.
HEIDENHAIN announces the ACANTO 30xx, the newest product in HEIDENHAIN's line of high accuracy length gages. The ACANTO 30xx features a 30mm measuring stroke, ideal for measuring objects of multiple sizes or for applications which require a long travel.
Used in conjunction with HEIDENHAIN's PWM 20 diagnostic tool, the new ATS (Adjustment and Testing Software) software reportedly provides a powerful and easy-to-use platform to diagnosis encoder faults and to evaluate the output signals of HEIDENHAIN encoders.
Hwacheon Machinery offers several machines well-suited to demanding oil and gas industry, aerospace, die mold requirements, including its VESTA 1050B vertical machining center.
For high-precision performance machining such as die-mold applications, Hwacheon's Sirius range of 3-axis vertical machining centers feature 20,000-rpm high-speed spindles for the UM and UL+ models and 12,000 rpm spindle for the UX model.
New Beyond KYS40-grade solid ceramic endmills from Kennameta are presenting orders-of-magnitude improvements in machining high-strength nickel-based alloys, roughing at cutting speeds up to 3,300 SFM (1000 m/min) with tool life two to three times longer than comparable solid-carbide tools.
Machining center utilization improves significantly using the new Kurt PinLock system. It enables machining of multiple parts per load while reducing setup time.
Leistritz, a German machine tool builder, has a line of Keyseaters to match the control and flexibility needed by today's manufacturers to produce a straight and accurate keyway.
