Drills and Countersinks
Taurus Tool & Engineering is manufacturing new lines of drills and countersinks to support the aerospace industry. Each tool is designed with a specific flute geometry for increased chip flow and minimal exit burrs, as well as to prevent any swirl marks on aluminum skins.
CoroCut QD Parting and Grooving Tools
When material savings are a requirement due to machining expensive materials, large batch productions or both, it is essential to use the thinnest insert width possible. CoroCut QD dedicated parting off and deep grooving tools from Sandvik Coromant Co. are available in small insert widths with internal high-pressure coolant to help customers realize production efficiency.
METAV metalworking expo: AM revolution not here yet
Additive manufacturing (AM) will neither displace existing machining processes nor revolutionize industrial production operations—at least not for the next 5 to 7 years, according to Myron Graw, an AM authority who spoke at METAV 2016, the 19th International Exhibition for Metalworking (Metallverarbeitung) Technologies.
Soft Jaw Blanks
Soft jaw blanks from Dillon Jaws feature a milled surface on the jaw end, opposite to the clamping surface, which serves as an easy-locating feature. This datum serves as a location point for positioning the counter-bored holes and the jaws' serrations resulting in exact dimensional matching of Dillon jaw sets.
Super Slim 3S Hydraulic Chuck
The smallest clamping range yet from BIG Daishowa is the Super Slim 3S hydraulic chuck is intended for extremely repeatable high-precision microdrilling and microendmilling in the most challenging work envelopes thanks to its slim nose and tapered body.
Unilock 5-Axis Modular Systems
Without the right fixturing, you aren't making the most of your 5-axis investment. BIG KAISER's Unilock 5-axis modular system fits seamlessly onto machine tables.
Coolant-Through Thread Mills
Allied Machine & Engineering Corp. offers a complete range of coolant-through thread mills that are ideal for blind-hole applications. Allied's coolant-through threadmills significantly improve chip evacuation when threading blind-holes, according to the company.
AVIA Family of Lasers
Coherent Inc. has expanded its AVIA family of lasers with new models having green output and which reportedly offer an unmatched combination of power, reliability and compact size for a range of precision materials processing applications.
Pramet Penta HF High-Feed Cutter
The latest positive axial rake, high-feed cutter from Dormer Pramet allows it to be applied with multiple materials across various applications. The Pramet Penta HF is an aggressive high-feed cutter suitable for machining a variety of materials, including heat-treated and difficult-to-machine steels, stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys (HRSA).
PCD Cutting Tools
West Ohio Tool Co. says its PCD tools have been proven to reduce costs, setup times and changeovers while maintaining the tight tolerances required in today's manufacturing operations. Several of the new cross-center tip drills continue to run in high-silicon aluminum with over 700,000 hits, showing no sign of wear, and the helical diamond-veined endmills have logged in excess of 10,000 linear inches trimming composite materials.
Tool Repair vs. Tool Remanufacturing
Traditional manual indexable tool repair methods can place limitations on the feasibility of repairing more than moderate pocket damage. GKI says its process using 4- and 5-axis CNC machines removes the damage completely and replaces it with new metal, resulting in a superior-quality tool while enhancing GKI's ability to repair tooling that other repair houses would likely turn away as "beyond repair."
Scissor Lift Tables, Turntables and Tilt Tables
Verti-Lift presents a full line of scissor lift tables, turntables and tilt tables with virtually any type of conveyors built in to optimize production, ergonomics and operator safety. The company works closely with distributors and system integrators to design, build and integrate its material handling equipment with ball transfer conveyors, gravity roller conveyors, heavy-duty chain driven live roller conveyors (CDLR) and more.
