Mumbling Mike and his quoting software
I once worked in the cubicle next to Mike, the shop's estimating guy. He sat there all day using an electronic pen to trace the outlines of parts on paper drawings. He painstakingly determined the length of each journal, the depth of each hole and the number of cubic inches contained in each milled pocket before feeding that information into the company's estimating software.
Machining Central App
WIDIA has created an app to quickly access machining speeds and feeds for WIDIA tooling without interrupting production. The newly released Machining Central app scans the WIDIA product bar code or searches the tool's corresponding order number or an ANSI or ISO catalog number to automatically generate product information and availability along with feeds and speeds in seconds.
KM-1207 Benchtop Dot Peen Marker
Kwik Mark Inc. offers the KM-1207 benchtop dot peen marker, with a large 12" x 7" marking area to suit most industrial marking applications. It can engrave on materials ranging from hardened tool steels to delicate plastics.

F-712.PM1 High-Speed Optical Power Meter
The new F-712.PM1 high-speed optical power meter from PI (Physik Instrumente) converts optical signals and currents of photodiodes into a high resolution, logarithmic analog voltage signal. Its high bandwidth of 20kHz enables faster optical alignment, when used in conjunction with PI's high-speed FMPA photonics alignment systems for SiP (Silicon Photonics) applications.
VTS WF45 and WF85 Wide Field Versions
Marposs Corp. has expanded its MIDA VTS visual tool setter family with the addition of the VTS WF45 and WF85 wide field versions suited for noncontact measuring and verifying "double-sided", large-diameter tools. Relying upon LED technology, the wide field versions can perform both profile and surface integrity inspection of the entire tool front to back, identifying any minor faults in the work tool that could affect workpiece integrity.
