TS 760 Touch Probe
The TS 760 probe offers extremely high accuracy (±1 µm) and homogeneous switching behavior over 360°. And for 3-D measurement, the feed rate/probing speed of 1 m/min is four times faster than other commercially available products that offer the same impressive repeatability of (2σ ≤ 0.25 µm).
ARCH Cutting Tools names managers
ARCH Cutting Tools in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan named two key manager positions. Anja Redzepagic was named national channel manager and key accounts, and Dave Valtierra was named West Coast Regional Manager.
AH3225 Insert Grade
AH3225 consists of the latest nano multi-layer coating technology with three major properties with excellent coating substrate adhesion for a high level of wear and fracture resistance. Integrating a dedicated carbide substrate with excellent thermal property provides the grade with increased thermal shock resistance and hardness reducing thermal crack generation on the cutting edge.
MultiShape Ceramic Media
This media has a patented shape without any flat, parallel surface areas. On the one hand this unique design prevents media lodging in the work pieces, which can occur particularly in case of complex work pieces. Such lodged media can severely affect the finishing process and must frequently be removed by hand.
