Gleason Corp. announced the availability of a Profile Grinding option for its 300TWG Threaded Wheel Grinding Machine.

No. 875 is a gas-fired, 1600°F (about 871°C) specialty furnace from Grieve, currently used for burning off hydrocarbons from machined alloy components at the customer's facility.

Adding a 4th-axis rotary table to a machining center is a proven way to boost productivity, reduce setups, and increase accuracy on multi-op parts. Adding a fast rotary table to a fast machine creates a high-speed package that slashes cycles times even further. The HRC210 from Haas Automation is a high-speed, cam-driven rotary table that provides cutting and indexing speeds up to 830 degrees/second.

HEIDENHAIN offers the ECN/EQN 400 series rotary encoders with PROFIBUS and PROFINET interfaces for use in manufacturing, process automation and more.

The RSF MS 45 from Heidenhain brings to market an exposed linear encoder that features an integrated status display with a multicolor LED to facilitate simple mounting as well as to allow for monitoring signal quality during operation.

Industrial Magnetics Inc. has expanded its line of Transporter LP magnetic end-of-arm tooling, designed to magnetically transfer metal blanks, stampings and parts in automated station-to-station, press-to-press transfer and robotic pick-and-place applications.

One of the most fundamental keys to running an efficient and cost-effective plant is having the right tool in the right place at the right time. While the cost of a milling or turning insert may range from a few dollars to significant investment, not having that tool available when needed can shut down an entire production line or more, resulting in missed delivery dates and lost profits. That is why tooling technology leader Kennametal Inc. is announcing new expansions of its ToolBOSS tool-management system.

UltraFlex, a new portfolio of wear-resistant surface treatments from Kennametal, brings industry-leading wear performance to components with complex geometries in power generation, oil and gas, and many other industries.

For manufacturers facing complex or stringent machining or finishing issues, electrochemical machining (ECM) is a notable process by which material can be removed inµm increments, reaching areas unreachable by other methods. To support the ECM process, Kennametal Extrude Hone has designed an electrolyte cleaning unit called HYDROM as an add-on to electrochemical machines.

Koma Precision Inc. is a distributor for live and static tools for Swiss-style machines for Citizen-Cincom, Ganesh, Hanwha, Nexturn, Star, Tornos and Tsugami machines.

BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. introduces the R-Cutter (Pat. P) and BF-Cutter from BIG Daishowa.

Methods Machine Tools Inc. has introduced the new High Performance FEELER FVT-600 Vertical Turning Lathe, ideal for machining large, heavy, challenging parts including those used in aerospace and power generation industries.
