Fairmont Supply appoints CEO
Fairmont Supply, Washington, Pa., which distributes industrial maintenance, repair and operation supplies in the United States, appointed Paul Fichiera CEO.
Guide to top tooling
Top jaws should be designed to hold the workpiece as close to the chuck face as possible. Excessive jaw height reduces the effective gripping force available and is detrimental to accuracy.
SL-II Series Slant-Bed CNC Lathes
Milltronics USA Inc. says its new SL-II series slant-bed CNC lathes are fast, accurate and affordable. The SL-II Series are available in three models: the SL6-II, the SL8-II and the SL10-II. Designed as machines that anyone in the shop can run, they feature Milltronic's latest series 9000 CNC, which can be programmed either conversationally or with industry standard G and M codes.
MarOpto MT 100 Fizeau Interferometer Tower
Mahr Inc. offers the MarOpto MT 100, the first in a new series of Fizeau interferometer towers for measuring optics directly in production. Fizeau interferometers from Mahr are supported by the company's proprietary Intelliwave software to allow easy measurement of both radius and form deviations.
HTA Measurement Solution
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence announced the expansion of its high throughput and accuracy HTA Measurement solution offering for aeroengine and powertrain applications. The new HTA technology packages deliver reduced measurement cycles and rich data sets for manufacturers looking to integrate dimensional inspection more effectively into their production processes.
New Peron Spindles
GTI Spindle Technology says spindle repair and rebuild is the heart of what the company does, and it prides itself on being able to handle any spindle that comes through the door. All spindles can be repaired, though the associated cost for some can eclipse that of a brand-new spindle.

Grand Alloy-ance: NASA tests first 3D-printed rocket engine part made with two different alloys
Engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, tested NASA's first 3-D printed rocket engine prototype part made of two different metal alloys through an innovative advanced manufacturing process. NASA has been making and evaluating durable 3-D printed rocket parts made of one metal, but the technique of 3-D printing with more than one metal is more difficult.
Modular toolholding helps Premier Industries finds its groove
Premier Industries' pressure regulators are subjected to tough duty in the oil & gas, aerospace and welding industries, but their precision performance is also critical, as regulator outlet pressure determines downstream pressure. A HORN modular toolholding system allow the company to reduce cycle times by 65 percent and cost per part by 79 percent—with better finish, flatness and tool life.
Finding specialty toolholders to improve cycle time
Article from Collis Toolholder Corp., Clinton, IowaFor many machinists, the conversation begins, "If I could have this size tool with this attachment on it, we'd be able to …" With the variety of machine taper types, sizes, differences in the flanges, draw-in thread sizes and pull studs, finding the ideal toolholder for the job can be a difficult task.Yet in many cases, machinists want to make adjustments in dimensions, quick-change tooling or other options to reduce set-up times and speed production of machined components.
