Heidenhain Corp.'s recently introduced a new phase of its absolute angle encoders that is said to offer numerous advantages for today's machine tools. The angle encoders with integral bearing and hollow shaft provide reliable position and speed control through use on rotational axes such as on rotary tables, tilting axes and direct drives, and are often the encoders of choice when angle measurement in accuracy of a few angular seconds is required.

"One Source — Many Solutions" takes on added meaning at MAG with the addition of honing capability on MAG's automotive industry machines, according to the company.
Widia has added tool bodies and inserts to its Victory M1200 series for facemilling steel, stainless steel, high-strength steel, cast iron and nonferrous materials.
Shorter cycle times are one way of reducing costs; another way to be more productive actually involves longer cycle times: complete machining in a single setup. Clamping a part only once means reduced costs for fixtures, less time spent on setups for different machines, while improving quality by avoiding reclamping errors. This is exactly where the new vertical milling machine from MAG comes"
Iscar Metals Inc. has expanded its popular HELIDO milling cutter family to optimize facemilling, especially for cast iron. The new HELIDO S865 FSN mill has a 65<sup>o</sup> lead angle to minimize burr formation and edge breakout, which can complicate cast iron applications.
FARO Technologies Inc. introduces the new FARO Laser Scanner Focus<sup>3D</sup>, a high-performance 3-D laser scanner for detailed measurement and documentation.
