Wallover Oil Co. introduces WS 8800 machining coolant.

The market for commercial vehicles is experiencing a vibrant development. Emerging economies have a growing need for new technologies in the production of semitrucks and agricultural machines, enabling them to achieve the desired growth in the construction industry and agriculture. New manufacturers from China, for instance, intensify the price war, putting today's production planners under considerable pressure. The future of commercial vehicle production lies in being faster, more energy efficient and increasingly flexible. EMAG, with its VL 8 vertical pick-up turning machine for workpieces up to 16 inches in diameter, offers a solution for the production of commercial vehicle components.

Nikon Metrology announces a unique 750 kV X-ray source withµm level spot size.

Lista introduces the new Mini Mezzanine, which reportedly maximizes usable storage footprint while providing much higher storage density of items of all sizes.

Walter Surface Technologies announced key updates to its COOLCUT XX sanding discs.

Mahr Federal has introduced two new optical surface measuring systems designed to provide fast non-contact 3D scanning and evaluation of very small to medium sized surface details on a wide range of components, including optics.

Elevance Renewable Sciences Inc. introduced Elevance Clean 1200, a degreasing and VOC-exempt solvent that outperforms traditional and bio-based solvents for industrial degreasing applications targeted toward heavy manufacturing, transportation maintenance and repair operations (MRO), and industrial food processing.

The CARVEsmart quick change vise jaw system from Bellatex Industries is designed for production and tool-room applications replacing the often cumbersome, conventional method of attaching vise jaws to a vise using face mounted cap screws.

Gravograph (Gravotech Group) introduces GravoStyle 7 Build 4, the latest version of its software for laser and rotary engraving machines.

Fives upsizes features that can be turned on Giddings & Lewis boring mills with introduction of a larger-range integrated contouring head that handles up to 980mm I.D. (38.6 in) and 780mm O.D.

Eriez Bi-Polar Lifting Magnets enable users to safely lift and move steel without direct attachment by slings, hooks or cables.

MistMax mist collector from Micro Air Clean Air Systems is designed with the newest technology and proprietary engineering to achieve extreme efficiency (99.98 percent) without the use of additional HEPA filters.

Flow International Corp. announces the next-generation direct-drive ultrahigh-pressure pump technology, the HyPlex Prime.

OML's VariClamp modular clamping system from Lexair Inc. uses a floating mechanism of fixed and moveable jaws and a variety of gripper forms to provide custom clamping of irregular-shaped workpieces, including round, curved, elliptical, rectangular, stepped and slanted parts.

According to a recent study by Roland-Berger, the automotive supplier industry will grow at a rate of approximately 6 percent in the next two years with competition intensifying. To gain an advantage, manufacturers must take a close look at the profitability of production sites. Component production must become faster, deliver high precision and show a greater degree of economic viability. EMAG's production solution is the VT 4-4 vertical lathe that delivers top efficiency levels in large-volume gearbox production.

Camfil Air Pollution Control has introduced the Stinger, an explosion isolation valve that isolates dust collector explosions to prevent a deflagration from traveling back through the inlet pipe of the dust collector into the workspace.

No. 891 is a specially modified 500°F electric universal oven from Grieve.

The XT H 450 from Nikon Metrology sets a new reference for turbine blade measurement and non-destructive testing and inspection of steel or aluminum cast parts.

Turned or bored soft blank top jaws from Dillon manufacturing provide a smooth gripping surface that holds the work piece snugly as a result of a greater coefficient of friction with no marring of the workpiece.

A line of replacement CO₂ nozzles offered in various materials and configurations for popular CO₂ lasers such as Trumpf and Mitsubishi is being introduced by Laser Research Optics.
