HiPACS Drilling and Countersinking System
The HiPACS drilling and countersinking system can be utilized on all machines typically used for aerospace applications. In less stable conditions such as robot end effectors, the diamond coated carbide drills offer excellent tool life and hole quality. PCD-tipped drills, on the other hand, excel in stable conditions such as gantry machines.
3D Printed PCD Monoblock Tool Bodies and Chip Deflectors
With 3D printing, there is about a 30% reduction in tool weight, yet it has the equivalent torsional stiffness of a steel ground body tool. Lightweighting can play a big role in large, heavy tools that take a toll on the machine spindle, helping to reduce preventative maintenance.
iglide TX2
The tribo plain bearings made of high-strength filament fabric are used where very high loads occur. The extremely strong filament in its specially interwoven design ensures maximum resistance and enables a maximum permissible compressive strength of 400 MPa. The newly developed material was extensively tested on the indoor and outdoor test rigs in the 3,800 square-meter igus test laboratory.
Calculating tooling can help manufacturers diversify
Choosing the right tools, and determining the right tool calculations, is vital to overcome diversification challenges and developing new revenue streams.
Mastercam 2022
As more shops seek the benefits of a single setup, multiaxis cutting strategy, Mastercam 2022 adds new techniques and strategies such as the Unified Multiaxis toolpath which allows you to select multiple pieces of input geometry to generate the toolpath pattern. Using those geometry choices, the toolpath picks the best algorithm to calculate the path.
EcoShrink Compostable Film
EcoShrink takes both the beginning and the end of the shrink wrap product life cycle into account. EcoShrink is sourced from certified commercially compostable resins and contains 45% biopolymers. After use, EcoShrink can be disposed of in a commercial composting environment to reduce the amount of plastic packaging that normally ends up in a landfill.* EcoShrink is shelf and curb stable and will retain its integrity until disposed of properly.
Photochemical etching process pushes metal fabrication boundaries
Micrometal's photochemical etching process enables ultraprecise contours to take shape and produces metal parts with unique features and a greater level of complexity.
BALDIA Diamond Coatings
The diamond coating portfolio covers the entire spectrum of demanding machining applications and is divided into two groups of different base materials. The first contains coatings for machining highly abrasive compacted and sintered powders like graphite for moulds and dies, as well as ceramics for dental applications.
Type KR-RL LM Guide Actuator
An electric actuator, the Type KR-RL offers several advantages over pneumatic types. "Where a pneumatic gripper simply provides an open and close function, the Type KR-RL offers precise force control," stated Kinoshita. Gripping force can be regulated according to the fragility of the object being transferred.
Okuma and Richard Childress Racing celebrate 20-year partnership
Initially, RCR purchased five Okuma machines. Today, it operates 19 Okuma machines, 2 of which are original machines from the initial 2001 installation.
GWS Tool Group names new sales director
Jeff Dunlop is responsible for developing and growing distributor relationships using unique programs that support growth in the standard product categories that GWS has to offer.
Gorillabel
The identification label, which is pre-marked by InfoSight, is a transparent Gorilla Glass disk. InfoSight recommends countersinking the label into a shallow machined pocket so the surface of the component remains level. After severe abrasion, wiping the label with a liquid which matches the glass index of refraction restores its clarity.
