GF Machining primary sponsor in NASCAR series race
After 265 laps, car No. 96 crossed the finish line at the Hollywood Casino 400 race, finishing at 27, garnering 10 points in the NASCAR Cup Series, and capping off a successful first weekend with GF Machining Solutions as the car's primary sponsor.
Cutting tool orders decline, while tooling suppliers look ahead
While the latest data on cutting tool orders shows a decline, orders appear to have "found a bottom" and tool suppliers look to the future with the release of a multitude of new tooling, workholding, machine tools and accessories into the marketplace.
DrillForce-Meister Flat Head Drill Tips
DrillForce-Meister uses exchangeable drill tips designed to efficiently open large diameter holes ranging from 20.0 mm to 40.0 mm (.787″ – 1.575″) at a lower cost. With the drill tips being exchangeable, DrillForce-Meister not only eliminates the need for regrinding and recoating, as is the case with solid carbide drills, but also reduces the amount of tool float inventory kept to avoid machine downtime, thus minimizing the overall cost per hole in high volume production lines.
S1 Post Processing System
The new machine design allows the easy switch from automatic to manual operation without time consuming re-tooling. This can be highly advantageous for processing of somewhat larger single components. All the operator has to do is to unlock the rotary basket and move it to the rear of the blast cabinet. This provides work space for the manual handling and blasting of somewhat larger components. The clever design ensures that the operator is not exposed to any moving parts so that no additional safety features are necessary.
VGi20A Ball Screw Nut Grinding Multitasking Machine
With five axes of motion and storage for 40 tools, the machine can grind thread grooves and also machine the nut circumference, end surface, key grooves, and return tube holes in a single setup. In addition to producing large savings in manufacturing time, elimination of setup changeovers also assures exact phase alignment of thread grooves and return tube holes. A standard touch probe enables automatic pre-processing phase alignment of the thread groove and wheel.n
M2471 Milling Cutter
The M2471 milling cutter, ideal for the aerospace and energy industries, boasts a high metal-removal rate even on low-performance machines thanks to its soft cutting geometries and positive cutting characteristics. It brings all the benefits of single-sided round inserts to double-sided round insert cutting. The insert and body are designed so that their overall stability is guaranteed during use of all eight cutting edges.
Artificial intelligence expands machine tool capabilities
The fourth Industrial Revolution promises new efficiencies and productivity gains for manufacturers. Machine tool suppliers are integrating Industry 4.0 capabilities and software companies that are providing powerful new tools such as those that utilize artificial intelligence. CAM software from ESPIRIT from DP Technology offers features to drive production improvement.
iSpeed5 System
The iSpeed5 is a 60,000 or 80,000 RPM, 350 Watt, Brushless DC Electric System that eliminates the need for any operator intervention by using a special designed connection under that machine spindle that can prevent coolant, chips, dust and other machining debris from contaminating the stop block. No longer is there a need for operator intervention to connect or disconnect the High-Speed Motor/Spindle.
Free Nesting Software Savings Calculator
Prospective companies interested to improve efficiency in the CADCAM/nesting process can request a free nesting benchmark comparison. By providing DXFs of parts alongside a nest of the same parts customers can see what percentage JETCAM's high performance nesting could save on material over their existing software. Programming time can be drastically reduced by automating processes such as CAD import, tooling and automatic nesting, while machine runtime can also often be improved, with parts being common cut or (for lasers) JET-Cut fully automatic fly cutting.n
Micro End Mills and Micro Milling/Drilling Chucks
The Micro End Mills feature a patented neck design with up to 10x diameter, enabling reach into deep contours. For optimal machining performance, a high radial bending strength withstands alternating stress on the cutting edge and relieved neck. The new Emuge end mills offer High Speed Cutting finishing of 2D and 3D contours, and are offered in square, ball nose, and torus end types. Featuring a short, stable cutting geometry, the end mills are available in Solid Carbide and CBN designs.n
EL51xx EtherCAT Terminals
The new EtherCAT Terminals acquire incremental signals with high frequencies up to 5 MHz and feature many parameterization options and integrated functions that enable optimum adaptation to control tasks. Each terminal offers an integrated sensor supply, which is parameterizable to 5, 12 or 24 V. Users can easily connect encoders with differential RS422, 5 V TTL or open collector interfaces. Based on internal pull-up resistors, no external wiring is required for open collector analysis.
Machine-Ready Blanks
Machine-Ready Blanks from TCI Precision Metals help shops increase throughput up to 25%. With a single purchase order customer receive custom precision blanks ready to load directly into their CNC machining centers. Precision blanks eliminate the need for in-house sawing, grinding, flattening, squaring operations and outside processing. Each blank arrives deburred, clean and to customer specifications – guaranteed as close as +/- .0005" dimensionally and as close as .002" flatness, squareness, and parallelism.
