BLAXX F5055 Slitting Cutter
Walter has introduced the Walter BLAXX F5055, a slitting cutter with excellent process reliability, accuracy and tool life. It teams the extremely robust and precise construction of Walter BLAXX with the Walter Cut SX system of inserts.
Microlution MLTC Ultrafast Laser
Targeting the medical industry, the GF Machining Solutions Microlution MLTC is an ultrafast laser that provides manufacturers with exceptionally precise holemaking in metal and polymer tubes. As an economical and technically advanced micron-scale machining system, the MLTC is optimized for microscale holemaking and fine cutting without the creation of heat-affected zones in tubular workpieces.
Microlution MLDS
GF Machining Solutions offers the Microlution MLDS, the next generation in femtosecond laser processing systems. The dual-station/dual-part laser machining center provides extremely high laser "on time" via measurement andnloading functions performed as parallel processes alongside machining operations.
Microlution ML-10 Femtosecond Laser Machine
The GF Machining Solutions Microlution ML-10 is a femtosecond solution for industries ranging from automotive to medical. As an economical and highly capable micron-scale machining system, the ML-10 performs microscale holemaking and fine cutting without the creation of heat affected zones (HAZ).
Dual Absolute Encoder Versions
Electromate introduces Dual Absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C mini actuator, which feature BiSS-C bi-directional communication for both encoders. The dual encoders are incorporated in essentially the same package size as the long-standing FHA-C mini single incremental encoder version. Without increasing the size, the dual absolute encoder offers single turn absolute position at the output, without the need for battery back-up.
Slim MT Inserts and Toolholders
Featuring multiple straight flutes designed for machining longer threads in small to large diameters, Carmex Precision Tools Slim MT inserts and toolholders deliver high productivity for a lower price. Constructed of an advanced carbide and coating combination for extended tool life, most of the inserts are double sided.
Machining Large and Long OD Threads
An extensive background of experience with operations on transfer machines allows Suhner to optimize a manufacturing process with standard or custom solutions for each machining application. One specific application is for large and long OD threads.
DeHoff 1536T Gundrilling Machine
The DeHoff 1536T is a gundrilling machine used to manufacture high-performance military helicopters. Several of the helicopter's drivetrain components are gundrilled to produce hollow centers, which reduces mass while maintaining high rotational rigidity.
XY Ultrasonic Motor Stage
Precision motion specialist PI (Physik Instrumente) adds a new integrated XY stage to its compact high-speed positioning stage roster, all powered by ultrasonic piezo-linear motors. The patented motors provide smooth motion, high resolution and rapid step and settle response while the self-clamping drive principle locks the platform in place without power, an advantage in applications where position stability and low power consumption matter.
How CT Scanning Is Transforming Inspection in Manufacturing
The ability to "see through" a solid object was once thought to be a tool of the future, or a power belonging to Superman–but the technology is here today, and more widespread and accessible than you may have thought. Until recently, the technology of CT imaging was only available for use in medical settings.
The importance of toolholder retention knobs
High-speed machining — in excess of 20,000 rpm — often is used in aerospace when machining exotic alloys and hard metals, such as titanium. At these speeds, precise, secure seating of tapered toolholders in the spindle becomes even more critical. Failing to pay attention to this single detail can lead to decreased productivity, less precise machining, reduced tool life and damaged workpieces.
Improve manufacturing efficiency and process control with metrology
All machining operations have inherent variation caused by machine positioning errors, material variances, fixturing, tooling load and thermal changes. Many companies employ metrology at the end of machining to ensure that good parts go out the door, but it does little to improve manufacturing efficiency.
