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.
Hypertherm's Centricut brand today announced the release of new consumables for PerCut 210M and 450M torches found on all new and upgraded Kjellberg HiFocus systems.
MicroPlus, ANCA's new high accuracy workholding and tool support system, significantly reduces tool runout during grinding, enabling the production of higher precision tools with no additional cycle time.
MecWash Systems introduces the Midi, a fully automatic, highly customizable, self-contained aqueous cleaning system that reportedly meets the highest aerospace cleanliness and inspection standards.
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.
Emuge Corp. has introduced a comprehensive line of precision fixed limit that are manufactured to ANSI/ASME B1.2 (Unified Inch) and ANSI/ASME B1.16M (Metric M) standards.
The new Renishaw XR20-W calibration system measures the angular position of rotary axes to within +/-1 arc second, wirelessly, for testing the accuracy of lathes, multi-axis machine tools, mill-turn machines, trunnion tables and spindles.
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.
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.
Accurate targeting of coolant during machining provides maximum effectiveness in chip evacuation. However, precision and pressure are two equally important aspects of coolant. The higher the pressure, the more demanding applications can be machined with excellent results. Sandvik Coromant offers advanced nozzle technology and dedicated insert geometries for machining steel, stainless steel and HRSA materials.
MecWash Systems recently introduced its Duo 400 compact, fully automatic and self-contained aqueous cleaning system. Said to meet the highest "visually clean and dry" cleanliness and inspection standards, the Duo 400 is ideal for cell-manufacturing or within a centralized layout, according to the company.
The CoroMill 316 exchangeable-head milling system from Sandvik Coromant is suitable for high-feed facemilling, slot milling, helical interpolation, shoulder milling, profile milling and chamfer milling of components in material groups from ISO P to ISO S.
