Ordering critical replacement parts for 2200 series conveyors is faster and easier than ever before, thanks to new Parts Kits from Dorner.

Cabinet maintenance work required whilst the capacities are still charged? To this end, Michael Koch GmbH is introducing a connectible, overload-proof resistor unit. It discharges the capacities to a desired, safe voltage level within a reasonable timeframe.

Tungaloy’s counterboring tools, TCB series, is now available with new tool diameters, ranging from 26 mm to 59 mm or 1.02” to 2.32”, and inserts with the –CG style chipbreaker geometry.

JW Winco Inc. has available GN 115.9 latches with safety function, zinc die casting, operation with key, not lockable.

Tungaloy is introducing a coated cermet grade, AT9530 for steel turning applications. The new AT9530 grade incorporates Tungaloy’s unique multi-layered coating technology and special post-surface treatment PremiumTec. This combination provides superior resistance to wear and fracture for improved productivity in finishing of steel during high speed machining.

DEWALT launches five corded grinders featuring efficient brushless motors that offer durability without requiring brush changes and provide unique user protection features.

Sandvik Coromant, is introducing two new ceramic insert grades that are capable of performing high-speed, high-security turning operations on components made from demanding HRSA (heat-resistant superalloy) materials. The CC6220 and CC6230 ceramic grades are developed to machine demanding materials where whisker ceramics and SiAlONs fall short.

As a new brand-neutral online platform, A Faster Horse provides users in the manufacturing industry, at no cost, direct access to experts, knowledge, insights and solutions from a wide range of qualified partners. Partners provide groups through which subscribers can access specialized content, advice and solutions designed to optimize operational efficiency, reduce waste and envision the future.

Somma Tool Co. announces complete services available to companies that use form tools.

The new Beta LaserMike Z-Mike Pro from NDC Technologies is the next evolution of the off-line part measurement system for metrology applications. The new Z-Mike Pro sports sleek, modern styling and is ready for service under Industry 4.0 with expanded connectivity, communication and control capabilities.

Heimatec announces the availability of its Citizen tool program. This line includes both live and static tools for most Citizen lathes. Designed to optimize the machine’s parameters, these precision tools are efficient and cost effective.

Walter has introduced WSM01, a premier grade for demanding machining applications. Coupled with Walter’s new MS3 negative geometry, it produces burr-free results with high surface finish quality in the hardest materials.

PureCut PCBN eliminates impurities by using an ultraclean grade composition, nano-particle-sized binder and optimized CBN (cubic boron nitride) grain size distribution. This unique design delivers unmatched toughness, increased resistance to chemical wear and greater reliability in the machining of hardened steel.

To be shipped to customers in November 2018, Eureka 9 virtual machining software suite from Roboris Srl includes many enhancements.

MAPAL has introduced a milling program with pressed, radial ISO indexable inserts, thus completing the portfolio of standard milling tools. Up to now, the company has mainly focused on a milling program with ground, tangential ISO indexable inserts. These are used in particular for special applications, very large stock removal, unstable conditions or disc milling cutters.

Tungaloy further expands its popular indexable gundrill series, DeepTriDrill to include a diameter range of 28.01 mm – 40 mm or 1.1” – 1.57”.

PLÜMAT will be introducing the Strategic Parts Management PARTsolutions by CADENAS to its business units of engineering, development and work preparation in the course of 2018. The Geometric Similarity Search GEOsearch of PARTsolutions will increase the reuse of components in the company.

Using multiple software systems to manage cutting tool data and toolholder assembly models is both time-consuming and error-prone. That’s why software developer CGTech announces that it offers a connection with Siemens’ Teamcenter software as part of its toolpath simulation software, VERICUT.

A line of two-piece shaft collars that combine a smooth bore to protect valuable shafts with wrenching flats to safely provide added torque using an open-end wrench has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Conventional machining of serrations on turned parts requires a separate process either while milling or broaching. Before either of these finishing processes can take place the parts generally must go through a cleaning process. With Schwanog’s broaching tool, manufacturer of serrated turned parts are able to use a completely new approach on a conventional lathe with C-axis, in a single operation, which eliminates the cleaning process.
