Helical Solutions is introducing the H40ALV and H40ALV-RN, representing a major expansion of its aluminum endmill series.

BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. has expanded its turning tool line to include HSK T63 tooling for multitask machines. The line offers modular turning tools for mill/turn applications in either a 45° tilt style or a 90° right-angle style.

Knuth Machine Tools USA offers the DL E Series universal lathes for handling heavy-duty fabrication and single-part production.

The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced its patented 649 Series Spindle Square for tramming the head of a vertical milling machine.

Sugino Corp.'s Pneucon Selfeeder portable pneumatic drilling units are for streamlining drilling applications on large wing and fuselage assemblies. The units provide a TIR of less than 0.0006" and provide 0.0008" repeatability on depths.

The new SINO-R from Schunk Inc. is a maintenance free toolholder especially well suited for rough milling.

A new turning geometry for the finish turning of components manufactured from steel to the most difficult-to-machine materials, such as high-temperature alloys, has been launched by ATI Stellram.

Lucifer Furnaces Inc. shipped two dual-chamber atmosphere muffle ovens to a customer for the purpose of heat treating superconducting wire used in medical, pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

Engis Corp.'s Electrogrip electroplated diamond dressing blocks turn a standard grinder with reciprocating table, such as a surface, tool and cutter or optical form grinder, into an automatic form grinder when combined with power down-feed.

A milling cutter from Mikron Corp. Monroe is for back chamfer milling of small contours and bores, starting from 0.4mm in diameter. The company recommends conventional milling in two steps to avoid secondary burrs.

Renishaw's new RLP40 and OLP40 lathe inspection probes offer a choice of signal transmission technologies – radio or optical – to make part setup and inspection on turning centers accurate, simple and reliable.

ystematically implementing customer requests was the main challenge in the development of the new ACCURA coordinate measuring machine from Carl Zeiss IMT Corp.

A powerful system does not have to be complicated! With every further development of our software, we take great care to ensure that the users only see the data on the screen that they currently needs for their current task. Everything else is consistently hidden. This ensures quick integration and minimal training efforts.

This small machine weighs 42 pounds and ships in a Pelican case for ease of storage, transportation and portability. It can run off a regular electrical plug, battery or generator — for use at home, in the office, in the classroom, garage or workshop and even on the road (or camping on a mountaintop).

MarSurf CD 140 AG 11 features an automated calibration routine for probe arms and a flexible workpiece holder that makes it easy to handle. Automatic tracing force selection assures the proper force is used when replacing several stylus tips. Operators can choose from a comprehensive range of clamps and workpiece holders, and this versatile machine can also be used to obtain roughness measurements (Rz>2µm).

The H-Carb Series 77 end mills specialize in deep axial trochoidal and high-speed machining applications and are offered in various lengths of cut. The specially designed core and flute design improve rigidity and chip flow while reducing deflection. The seven-flute design allows for superior finishes at higher speed and feed rates versus 5 and 6 flute tools.
