KORLOY has launched new chipbreakers “ MM ” (Medium Machining) and “ RM ” (Rough Machining) for stainless steel materials. Stainless steel can be classified into three groups: austenite, martensite and ferrite. In principle, the surface of stainless steel materials generally tends to be very smooth and coupled with a very strong corrosion resistance.

Duracool BR 300 from Enterprise Oil Co. represents an advanced technology in biostable cutting and grinding coolants. Duracool BR 300 is a semisynthetic cutting and grinding fluid with a high oil content for machining all metals from high-alloy stainless steels to aluminum and copper-based alloys.

The comprehensive line of ALU/NF CUT carbide burs from PFERD reportedly brings new levels of machining performance particularly to aluminum applications. Aluminum has grown increasingly popular in industry because of its special properties, such as extreme durability, low weight, exceptional corrosion resistance and uncomplicated recycling. Processing the many different aluminum alloys, however, can be complex.

Cortec has made it easy for industries to create their own custom-sized recyclable bags and envelopes with EcoShield heat-sealable paper. Whether a company needs to manufacture its own standard or custom bag for a specific product, or whether extra wide paper is needed to make paper bags, sleeves, or envelopes on demand, EcoShield heat-sealable paper is ready to use.

No. 1040 is a 2,200° F (1,204° C), inert-atmosphere pit furnace from Grieve, which is used for heat treating automotive parts in baskets at the customer’s facility. Workspace dimensions of this furnace measure 36” wide x 36” deep x 48” high.

Built to handle general-purpose to precision finishing applications, Palmgren’s 24” high-performance disc-finishing machine completes medium to large parts fast and effectively. The disc machine can grind, deburr, contour and finish all sizes and types of workpieces including metal, wood and plastic due to its larger area of contact.

In an age of smartphones, laptops and tablets, ordering tools online easily and conveniently is not witchcraft. High-performance apps have made the process simple enough for anyone to use. However, you have to go into greater detail to separate the wheat from the chaff, for example, identifying the right tool for a particular cutting application by using the cutting data calculator. Easy to understand, error-free, secure and fast are the key requirements. With INOCUT, tool manufacturer Inovatools has provided a high-performance application for this purpose.

For manufacturing of tubing products, or those who manufacture products with tubing components, Severance Tool has developed a line of tube end finishing rotary tools which can deburr, form or chamfer as required by application needs. The tools are finish both the inside diameter and outside diameter of tubing ends in a single operation and many feature adjustable, two piece construction to accommodate work on same size tubing having varying wall thickness ranges.

The compact 5-axis profilers from SNK America are designed to stand up to the rigorous demands of medium-sized to large aircraft components machining. Choose the model that meets your specific requirements: HPS B series for high-speed aluminum machining or the HPS A series for titanium and other hard metal machining.

As one of the newest members of Mazak’s additive machine family, the VARIAXIS j-600AM (additive manufacturing) vertical machining center features a wire arc-type metal deposition system. The technology reportedly takes the additive process to whole new levels in terms of speed, allowing shops to quickly and easily grow part features then employ the machine’s advanced 5-axis multisurface subtractive capabilities to produce parts complete in single setups.

When machining requires high-speed performance, Troyke's direct-drive spindles deliver precision and control. Direct motor-to-spindle connection eliminates any chance for gear error, allowing for a high degree of accuracy.

Ransohoff has introduced its LeanDrum Eco Washer; platform provides a low-cost, energy-efficient, reliable solution for high-volume cleaning applications.

A new camshaft gage that features two independent opposed measuring heads for measuring key parameters including cam lobe chatter and straightness is being introduced by Adcole Corp. The Adcole 1302 dual-head camshaft gage features two independent opposed Heidenhain side wall measuring heads with ±10 mm travel for measuring sliding cam components with submicron accuracy.

By connecting the motor directly to the spindle on the KF5600 vertical machining center from Hyundai-WIA Machine, acc/dec time was shortened. A wide range of machining can be done with spindle speed of up to 12,000 rpm.

Kardex Remstar is launching an entirely new product class of storage systems into the market. The intralogistics supplier is adding the Vertical Buffer Module product family to its portfolio, starting with the Kardex Remstar LR 35 storage and retrieval unit. The new design is capable of fast delivery when picking small parts.

Schaffner introduces the FN510 dv/dt filter, which eliminates premature motor damage caused by high dv/dt, over-voltages on motor cables, motor overheating and more, to prolong service life motors in high precision environments. Suitable for motors from 1.5 to 30 Kw with frequencies up to 400Hz (4 to 24A) or to 200Hz (33 to 66A), this proven technology reduces high output voltage dv/dt from IGBT motor drives and restricts over-voltages caused by line reflections on motor cables.

HEIDENHAIN introduces a new series of functionally safe hollow-shaft connection encoders to the manufacturing equipment industry. Called the ECN/EQN/ERN 400 series, these new rotary encoders are especially useful in applications where quick machine shut-off is required in dangerous situations.

Milltronics says it continually refines and reinvents its CNC machines and controls to make them perfect extensions of the hands of the skilled U.S. machinist. This March Milltronics rings in the New Year with the launch of its reinvented VM series of vertical machine centers.

J.W. Winco Inc. offers GN 254 inch and metric size stainless steel vibration/shock-absorption mounts, conical type. These RoHS compliant vibration/shock absorption mounts are also known as shock absorbing mounts, vibration mounts, antivibration mounts, vibration bobbins or rubber bumpers.

Controx-Neuhauser introduces its Decoring Cut tool, which both drills through honeycomb composite panels and undercuts the skins (thus removing the cores) in a single labor-saving step. A sophisticated end tooth design enables Decoring Cut to cut through the top skin while maintaining tight tolerances with no delamination.
