Compressed natural gas market to reach $5.9 billion by 2030
The global CNG compressors market size was valued at $3.46 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to $5.92 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period (2022-2030).
Marposs Care
Customized preventive maintenance programs include checkups to help reduce the risk of failure, optimize production capacity and keep the equipment operating near its original condition. The use of original spare parts guarantees optimal performance, while reports provided by service team members offer insight into equipment status.
L-703SP Surface Plate Calibration System
The L-703SP System is 30-40% faster than electronic levels, more rugged and reliable, and more repeatable from one tech to the next. In addition, the L-703SP is set up directly on surface plates, so each line segment setup is much easier than autocollimators and laser interferometers, which require floor mounting and touchy setups. This results in 50-60% faster plate calibrations and, unlike these devices, does not require re-taking data if the laser beam is broken.
Twin Spindle Machining Center
Due to its rigid design the LiFLEX II 766 performs as twin-spindle, with 500 Nm per spindle and a feed force of 10 000 N. With such a powerful machine, we are now machining two calipers of GLS 600 material in the time of one and save much hall space too.

Ask CTE Contributors about grinding
Join Cutting Tool Engineering for a one-hour grinding webinar based on the "Diamond in the Wheel" feature article published in the October 2023 issue of CTE magazine. Authored by Thomas Namola and Jeremiah Wolf — product development and applications engineers at Abrasive Technology LLC — the article discusses the use of optimized single-layer diamond tools for cutting and shaping natural fiber-reinforced composite material. Namola and Wolf recap the article and take questions from webinar attendees.
TungMeister GH730 and AH715 Grade Milling Heads
This expansion increases GH730 grade options of the VST and VTB slot milling heads and the VTR thread milling heads. A PVD grade consisting of extremely wear-resistant coating layer, combined with a tough carbide substrate dedicated to the coating, GH730 provides much better wear resistance than the previous generation GH130. These characteristics provide the grade with long, predictable tool life during threading and grooving operations.
