PolyClamp Verso
The PolyClamp Verso is equipped with a quick jaw change system as standard. Using just two screws, the fixed and adjustable jaws are released, removed upwards or repositioned. This significantly reduces setup times because each jaw is individually removable without having to dismantle the others.
EcoCut-P
The coating's mechanical post-treatment induces a unique state of residual stress in the layer surface, which in turn increases process security. The DRAGONSKIN grade CTCP425-P with advanced AL2O3-TiN CVD coating is particularly well suited for when uninterrupted cuts are required. It delivers excellent wear resistance even at increased cutting speeds.
Linear Actuator L
The Linear Actuator FAULHABER L product family is designed for high performances in compact dimensions, it supports large input speed or high output force. It is well-suited for a wide range of applications like robotics, industrial machines and laboratory equipment.
Studer hosts Motion Meeting Expedition 2023
To update more than 60 members of the press from across the globe about Studer's business activities and new developments, the company hosted Motion Meeting Expedition 2023 on Feb. 10 at its headquarters.
Key-In-Pocket System
With "Key-in-pocket," Pilz has created a digital maintenance safeguarding system which is flexible to meets the demands of both safety and industrial security. "Key-in-pocket" ensures that the machine does not restart while maintenance work is being done and that unauthorized personnel do not gain access.
Pulsed Two-Substance Ring Nozzle
The wear-free nozzle is equipped with a valve specially developed by acp for this purpose which enables pulse times as fast as 20 milliseconds. In contrast with pilot-operated standard valves, the direct control of the valve prevents icing and thus ensures reliable operation and consistently superior results.
Ceratizit to showcase aerospace and medical part machining
For shops producing aerospace or medical components, Ceratizit will bring some of its most innovative tooling and machining solutions to Eastec specifically developed for optimizing the production of parts for those industries.
ANCA to display cutting and grinding technology at Eastec
ANCA Americas in Wixom, Michigan, a longtime Eastec exhibitor and a manufacturer of CNC grinding machines, will return to the West Springfield, Massachusetts, show May 16–18 at Booth 1118.
KBN020 CBN Grade
KBN020 excels as a 1st choice, general purpose CBN grade with a broad application range from continuous to heavily interrupted machining. Utilizing innovative new layering techniques, Kyocera has developed the MEGACOAT TOUGH coating technology. This coating combines a highly wear-resistant layer on the surface adhered to high-content CBN which is used to toughen up the edge for greater fracture resistance when encountering interruptions.
Ceratizit launches corporate sustainability strategy
Ceratizit has developed a sustainability strategy that it says will "solidify its leadership in sustainability for the hard metal and cutting tool industry by 2025."
Titespot Angle Heads
Titespot angle heads are indexable, allowing multi-position machining with one angle head and set-up, and their compact profile allows machining in bores and cavities not accessible to mechanical heads. Eltool Angle Heads can machine in bores down to 5/8″ in diameter and develop up to 2.5 Horsepower – enough to drill ½" holes through 4140 steel.
ANCA’s precision machining technology on display at PMTS
ANCA Americas in Wixom, Michigan, a manufacturer of CNC grinding machines, has announced its participation at PMTS in Cleveland from April 18 to 20 at Booth 4077.
