Owners of Fadal vertical machining centers now have the opportunity to maximize machine efficiency and extend tool life with the new CYCLO BLAST coolant through-spindle (CTS) system.
The Cyclo Cut Max-Flute high-performance endmills from MAG are for roughing titanium when machining at low torque. When the 16-flute endmills run at 2,037 rpm and 231 ipm, they can achieve metal-removal rates of up to 8"3/min. with 25 ft.-lbs. of torque and 9 hp.
As the aerospace, automotive and mold and die industries trend toward monolithic components and large structures, there is a growing need for large-travel machining centers. To accommodate large-volume machining, Haas Automation Inc. has expanded the capacity of its EC-1600 horizontal machining center with an additional 10" of Y-axis travel.
Higher productivity, lower energy consumption and offloading of the machine-drive are the highlights of the new carbon, ultra-light clamping devices that Hainbuch offers for machine tools.
Iscar Metals Inc. says its 11mm profiling insert does the job of a bigger one, thus enabling finer-pitch cutters for smoother profiling and lower chip loads.
Iscar Metals Inc. says it has improved its line of CUT-GRIP and HELI-GRIP groove/turn tools with a new CVD-coated substrate that doubles tool life while raising productivity by 15 percent.
