Widia-Rubig Deep-Hole Drills
In deep-hole drilling applications up to 30XD, new solid-carbide WIDIA-Rubig deep-hole drills reportedly remove between three and four times the metal compared to gun drills, in addition to delivering excellent hole quality and cycle times.
DraftSight for Linux
Dassault Systèmes has announced the availability of a beta release of DraftSight for Linux.
Temper Tough Alloy
Carpenter Technology Corp. has developed a new ultrahigh-strength steel (UHSS) alloy that is a lower cost alternative to many cobalt-containing precipitation hardenable alloys.
Mobile Lubrication System
A new mobile lubrication system from the fluid storage and handling specialists, The IFH Group, provides storage and dispensing of lubricants, cutting oils, bearing oils, hydraulic fluids, transmission fluids and engine oils for plants requiring lubrication maintenance at multiple locations over a large area.
Equator Gaging System
Renishaw says Equator is a radical new alternative to traditional dedicated gaging, filling a gap in the market never before addressed.
C 151z-a Marking Machine
The C151 z-a series from SIC Marking USA is remarkable for its repeatability and precision: this is due to its micropercussion technology, its "AERO" type stylus, and its precise mechanism (movement resolution is just 0.05, compared with the 0.1 generally seen on the market).
