The latest HSC machines work with high speeds and therefore need precisely balanced tools. The ZOLLER »toolBalancer« — the high-precision balancing system specifically for toolholders, grinding wheels and rotors — gives you precisely balanced tools.

Shops that struggle to maximize end-mill tool life when machining tough materials can now achieve 25 to 40 percent longer life with new Jabro-Solid2 JS750 endmills from Seco Tools. Designed specifically for the aerospace sector, the new JS754 and JS755 tools provide cost-effective high performance to tackle that industry’s challenging materials, including ISO M (stainless steel) and S (heat-resistant superalloys and titanium).

Transducers USA has announced the addition of a stainless steel warning indicator to its Tonelight series. The stainless steel package is ideal for use in any harsh environment. This panel-mounted device gives both an audible and visual warning signal, especially helpful in conditions with high levels of ambient noise.

The ZOLLER »cora« collaborative robotic assistant supports you in all standard tasks for tool preparation, fully automatically. Your tools can be picked, assembled, clamped, cleaned and labelled, fully automatically.

The ZOLLER Smart Cabinets provide storage solutions for all single components, assemblies, holders and accessories. Thanks to their connectivity to ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions software, the Smart Cabinets allow you to precisely track the exact location of any given tool, and to track who checked the tool out, for which machine and too which job, all through the software.

The amount of pressure exerted by a typical hydraulic press can exceed 3,000 psi. Because of this tremendous force, high-velocity debris or shrapnel can be ejected from the press during normal operation, resulting in serious and even fatal injuries to the machinist or bystanders. With the new Rockford Systems Ejection Curtain Guarding Kit, machinists will feel confident knowing they are able to achieve efficient hydraulic press use while being protected by a coiled wire fabric guard that significantly reduces the risk of cuts, lacerations and punctures from flying debris.

Transducers USA has announced the addition of a plastic warning indicator to its Tonelight series. This panel-mounted device is suitable for use as a warning indicator, which delivers both an audible and visual warning signal, especially helpful when a large amount of ambient noise is present.

ZOLLER »powerShrink« is the inductive heat shrinking device for HSS and hard metal tools, with which you can considerably reduce the fitting times in your manufacturing: In max. 10 seconds your tools are heat shrunk, cooled after just 40 further seconds and are ready for production.

JETCAM announced the launch of new versions of its core nesting software for CNC punch and profiling technologies, JETCAM Expert, and JETCAM Orders Controller (JOC) automation software.

Transducers USA has announced the expansion of its line of TRIP-80 alarm series of high output audio alerts in a small package: 26mm dia. x 22mm high. The updated TRIP-80 series generates a sound pressure level of a minimum of 97dB @ 30cm with a continuous or fast pulsing audio output.

The Eldorado M75-48T is a two-spindle gundrilling machine with 48 inches (1,219 mm) of slide travel. This is 60 percent more slide travel than the standard Eldorado model offered by the company. The additional length allows the machine to accommodate nearly all the gundrilling applications a job shop will encounter.

The Lintech 100 series linear positioning slides maximize performance while minimizing physical size and cost. These linear slides use a low friction, preloaded, recirculating linear ball bearing system, which ride on precision ground linear square rail guide.

ANCA's iView measuring system that can measure the ground tool in its original clamping inside the grinding machine. This feature has recently been further enhanced with a new camera bracket design that allows operators to visually inspect and perform manual measuring of parameters like endface land width, lip distances, chisel angles and more.

As part of its ongoing commitment to empower organizations to create safer work environments and comply with OSHA standards, Rockford Systems LLC has introduced an automatic sanding belt holder that enables lathe operators to sand, polish and deburr while keeping hands away from rotating parts and at safe operating distance away from the spinning shaft and, thereby, helping to prevent entanglement.

BIG KAISER announces the MEGA Micro Coolant Nut, a developed solution to provide precise coolant supply to micro cutting tools applications at high speeds.

No. 1021 is a 1250º F high-temperature belt conveyor oven from Grieve, currently used for drying steel nesh (sieve) materials at the customer’s facility. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 21” W x 38” D x 3” H, and 40 KW are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements to heat the oven chamber, while a 1600-cfm, 1.5-hp recirculating blower provides vertical downward airflow to the workload.

CNC Software Inc., producers of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, announces a 3-axis and 4-axis milling post processor that will unleash the highest productivity on SINUMERIK-controlled machine tools. This new post processor was developed utilizing the technical expertise of Siemens CNC engineers.

Walter has introduced the D3120, an indexable insert drill built to provide trouble-free drilling in virtually all conditions. It features square positive indexable inserts with four cutting edges, enabling it to reduce cost per cutting edge.

SMIRT 2019 R1, the latest release of Vero Software’s powerful viewing and manufacturing solution for the die-mold industry, introduces new on-machine inspection functionality and enhanced templating functionality for added process planning automation.

The new HighLight SQD option for Coherent HighLight fiber lasers provides cutting and welding systems integrators with a turnkey, simple to use and cost effective means to implement process monitoring. The HighLight SQD comprises process sensors integrated directly into Coherent’s special fiber laser connectors which detect back reflected laser power and visible spectrum process emissions. These signals, which are provided in either analog or digital CAN bus form (at a 2 kHz sampling rate), can be used to detect various key process events.
