Yamazen Inc. announces the U.S. debut and distribution of Takisawa's horizontal turning center the TS-4000YS.

Sandvik Coromant introduces a parting off concept for deep grooves and long overhangs.

Primary Cutter LLC, manufacturer of Supermill endmills, is offering a selection of carbide endmills in introductory trial kits at special pricing, allowing new customers to experience their outstanding quality.

STROTHMANN now also offers quadro turnstiles for the RoundTrack 40 system.

Liebherr's new LGG 180 machine for profile and generating grinding combines short grinding times with consistent high large-scale production quality, thanks to a one-table design.

Rush Machinery Inc.'s Drill and Tool Grinders have helped thousands lower their holemaking costs through higher precision, faster production, less down time and reduced tool inventory.

Since 2010, Open Mind has provided a "high-performance cutting" strategy that allows considerably higher material-removal rates to be achieved while also protecting tools and machines. Already established for 3D and 5-axis machining, it can now also be used for 2D tasks.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. has completed the development of a new gear shaping machine, the ST40A, capable of cutting a broad array of gears, including helical and cluster gears, with one system.

Fastems FPC is a cost-effective solution to automate horizontal machining centers.

Lucifer Furnaces Inc. has designed and manufactured a heat treating box furnace for use with inert atmosphere for stress relief of springs under nitrogen atmosphere.

A new feature from KardexRemstar Inc.'s Power Pick Global software allows users to "purge" materials from inventory that are no longer needed.

A line of Type 1 cotton fiber abrasive wheels that outperform non-woven nylon wheels in many robotics deburring cell applications is available from Rex-Cut Abrasives.

Safety-related position encoders have been available from HEIDENHAIN for several years. However, those encoders have been rated to SIL 2, PL d, Category 3. While this meets the requirements of most applications, sometimes there is a need for SIL 3, PL e, Category 4-rated equipment. These applications involve high risks for the operator, such as when they may interact with a robot. For these applications, HEIDENHAIN has developed the ECI 1319 and EQI 1331 inductive, safety-related rotary position encoders.

Ingersoll Rand has released a new line of M2 Series grinders and sanders to complete heavy-duty cutting, polishing and cleaning applications in less time.

A manufacturer of orthopedic implants needed to improve measurement and documentation proficiency of parts with literally hundreds of configurations. Air gaging from Mahr Federal was chosen because it could quickly and accurately measure precision tapers, along with being simpler and cheaper to engineer than any mechanical gages.

Coherent Inc. has expanded its family of industrial ultrafast lasers with the Talisker HE series, whose high energy pulses reportedly enable drilling, cutting and scribing of thicker materials than with other ultrafast lasers.
