OSP-P500
The OSP-P500 is fully equipped with Digital Twin Technology, a technology that enables high-precision machining simulations to be created on a computer, while also providing real-time data feedback loops from the operational machine tool to the simulating computer. This feature allows operators to utilize real-time data to mirror exact machine tool functions and behaviors to optimize performance.
Manufacturing Data Exchange Specification (MDES)
MDES is an open data exchange specification for the manufacturing industry. It is designed to increase the interoperability of different hardware and software systems across all stages of the product lifecycle, from design and planning to production and quality control.
TC130 Supreme
With the ability to cut blind-hole threads up to 3.5 × DN, the TC130 Supreme tap is targeted for applications in general mechanical engineering and the energy industry, such as for threading wind turbines. The tap is suitable for threading steel and cast iron (ISO P and K workpiece groups).
Zoller’s Automation Days highlights cutting tool processes
The event marks the launch of the Toolroom of the Year competition and the upcoming roboBox roadshow.
CHAM-IQ-DRILL
The CHAM-IQ-DRILL design body is produced from special steel for high durability and a special stopper prevents the drilling head from being extracted upwards from the pocket. Long stoppers provide high resistance to cutting forces, enabling applications under very high cutting conditions. nHigh flute helix and polished flute surfaces provide a smooth and easy chip evacuation process. nAn internal coolant supply provides efficient cooling and lubrication during the drilling process.
JETCROWN
Two coolant through tools with top and bottom outlets for output pressure of up to 340 bars.nSignificantly improves insert tool life. Quick, change fast and easy adapter indexing. User-friendly with a single clamping screw. No set-up time after blade or pocket indexing.
Bearing Wheel Covers
Standard sizes are available in stock, ready to ship and are available in diameters of 3/4" to 1-1/2", bore diameters from 3/16" to 1/2" and with widths from 3/8" to 5/8" depending on the type of cover.
M18 FUEL ½” High Torque Impact Wrenches
Harnessing the power of advanced M18 FUEL™ technology, the M18 FUEL™ ½" High Torque Impact Wrench with Friction Ring provides users with the best combination of power and size to maximize productivity. A POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor delivers nut-busting torque up to 1,500 ft-lbs with a M18™ REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 Battery and up to 1,600 ft-lbs with Milwaukee's new M18™ REDLITHIUM™ FORGE ™ XC6.0 Battery.
NCT200 CNC Rotary Table
Unique to Nikken rotary tables is the innovative and patented carbide worm system comprised of a carbide worm screw, ion nitrided worm wheel (HV930), and hardened steel bearing surface (HRC58-60). The V grade solid carbide worm screw helps to ensure high rigidity and virtually eliminates wear.
Logiq4Turn
The double-sided CXMG inserts operate similarly to CCMT positive inserts and can therefore replace standard CCMT inserts. In some applications, they can also replace standard negative CNMG inserts.nDouble-sided with a positive flank. Low cutting forces. Designed with a chipformer for general turning applications.
Dove IQ MILL 845
High positive cutter pocket inclination. Rigid clamping due to dovetail pocket design secured by clamping screws. Coarse and fine pitch cutter configurations. Coolant holes directed to every insert on the cutters. Precise double-sided square insert. Eight cutting edges – each edge comprises a reinforced edge and a wiper flat for a high quality machined surface.
LOGIQ-4-FEED
These inserts have 4 types of cutting geometries for machining different materials under diverse cutting conditions: T - Steel, ferritic and martensitic stainless steel, cast iron and hardened steel. HP - Austenitic stainless steel and high temperature alloys. RM-T - Interrupted cut for machining near straight wall shoulders of steel, ferritic and martensitic stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened steel.
