12 x 36 Inch Engine Lathe
Standard on the #9684510 lathe are 3 and 4 jaw chucks, splash guards, chuck and tool post safety guards and inch and metric gears for threading. Like all Palmgren lathes, it is built and inspected to the DIN 8606 toolmakers precision lathe standard.
CoroMill Dura
One of the main advantages of the new CoroMill Dura aluminum-specific end mills is their versatile performance in all different types of roughing applications, while also offering finishing capabilities," Wikström continues. "Up to 2×D full slot, pocketing, 5–20° ramping, shoulder milling and more — all with the same end mill.
‘Crazy’ good changes at Mikron Tool
Mikron Tool recently announced a change in leadership with Markus Schnyder, the long-standing chief operating officer of Mikron Switzerland AG, Division Tool, handing the reins to Elio Lupica to continue the company's exceptional market performance in recent years. In the following Q&A, Lupica shares some optimistic views for what comes next.
Clamping technology supports high-end parts production
AMF clamping technology supports production at a pioneering Hungarian supplier.
Pramet T9415 Turning Grade
With a 30% thicker coating than the previous generation, the Pramet T9415 significantly improves tool durability by increasing resistance to wear and offers higher productivity by allowing for higher cutting speeds. Several testing users of the new grade have reported that their productivity has doubled while machining carbon and structural steels.
Dual Gripper Solution
The dual gripper system on the versaLoad allows manufacturers to reduce part loading times by as much as 50% when compared to a single gripper setup. This allows the automation cell to operate with maximum efficiency, enabling versaLoad users to boost productivity without having to increase headcount.
Getting the most out of your boring tools
Fine boring, rough machining, large-diameter boring — no matter the type of application, it is key to get the most from boring tools. Hole-finishing applications, whether at a job shop or a high-production environment, require precision. Here are ways to get the most out of your boring tools.
Marposs acquires data analysis and AI company
Marposs Corporation, a leader in measurement, inspection, and test technologies, has acquired the majority share of Digital Strategy Innovation (DSI), a start-up company and specialist in applied research in AI, big data, and data analysis located in Venice, Italy.
Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) Inserts
The PCD inserts impart the finest surface finishes while shoulder, face and slot milling. The tools enable precise machining with reduced cutting forces and minimal vibration tendencies. They have a low cost because of their extremely long tool life as a result of the cutting edge being made of the hardest known material.
