348 Inserts
348 inserts added to stainless steel turning grade series of AH6225, AH6235, and T6215. AH6225 is a first-choice grade designed to provide excellent machining performance in general stainless steel turning operations, extending from continuous to light interrupted cuts. AH6235 is another PVD-coated grade that boasts exceptional fracture resistance. T6215 is a latest CVD-coated grade, designed to ensure superior cutting performance during high speed, continuous cuts of stainless steel.
FX5 Upgrade
The FX5, with the new 12kW spindle delivers increased productivity up to a diameter of 10mm. At 19kW, the new high-powered spindle option can enhance productivity further for tools up to 12mm and above. The high-powered spindle option on FX5 matches the grinding spindle fitted to the FX7 machine with 6-wheel packs, suited for a more industrial environment.
Z-Mag DTM Portable CNC Drill and Tap Machine
The unit accommodates different height applications with an available 13 inches of stroke, 1,300 lbf. of thrust and spindle speeds of up to 3,000. Using an HSK style spindle adapter, operators can use a variety of HSK tool holders. The sturdy cast iron frame, linear rail system, and precision ball-screw feed system provide a solid foundation for any application, from light roughing to finishing.
HEIDENHAIN Education Support Program (HESP)
HEIDENHAIN's programming stations are based on the same software foundation as its CNC controls, thus making them ideal vocational training tools to give students the confidence they need to program in the manufacturing world. HESP's learning materials include practical course supplies for explaining complex topics, as well support posters for the classroom.

90 Degree Adapter
The adapter is made of 304 stainless steel and measures 1.498" X 1.825" X 3.188" (38.049mm x 46.355mm x 80.975mm) overall length. The adapter is turned on a Yama Seiki turning center and finished machining on a Bridgeport manual milling machine.
WT500/1000 Series
This system is capable of transporting wire gauges from 1 to 20 and tube sizes from Ø 0.250 mm to Ø 12.7 mm. The WT500/1000 provides quick setups for part changeovers with a belt-driven automatic diameter adjustment transport. Laser selections include nano, pico, and femtosecond UV and NIR sources as well as mechanical spindle drilling assemblies with upwards of 80kRPM of speed for precision quality hole formation.
FlexFiltration
FlexFiltration systems efficiently remove fine chips and grinding sludge to achieve coolant clarity down to 10 microns or less. They are especially well suited for challenging applications involving materials ranging from cast iron, steel and aluminum to composites and plastics.
Mate Precision demos next generation workholding system
Increase your factory productivity with the next generation 52/96 workholding system of vises, bases and mounts from Mate Precision Technologies. A zero-point system, Mate 52/96 workholding is compatible with similar systems, including 52mm and 96mm four post pull stud configurations from Lang, Jergens, 5th Axis, Gerardi and others.
High productivity and perfect chip breaking
Every steel machining operation poses some challenges so it's a good thing that Tiger·tec® Gold can handle almost any challenge involved in turning. The secret is the specialized design of the individual grades.
DC 175 Supreme Solid Carbide Drill
In addition to the cooling and geometry, Walter's new WJ30RZ and WJ30RY grades also boost performance because their highly wear-resistant TiAlSiN-based layer applied using HIPIMS coating technology takes the form of a complete coating for 3 and 5xDc (WJ30RZ grade) and a point coating for 8×Dc (WJ30RY grade). The 8×Dc version also features a polished flute for deep drilling. The result is a very smooth surface which ensures optimum chip evacuation and minimizes built-up edges. The ability to recondition the drills boosts the cost effectiveness three times, paired with its long tool life, also further boosts cost-effectiveness.
Upgraded CoroDrill 860
The drill features a new grade, with an improved multi-layer physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating. The results are enhanced wear resistance, better tool life and an overall increase in productivity and thereby reduced cost-per-component.n
