Clevis Linkages Range
As WDS clevis linkages are designed to the DIN and ISO standards, this ensures fit across the widest range of applications. The range is also suited to new machines and retrofit with a design that allows for greater flexibility in alignment.
Ultra-Precision Balance Chucks
When parts rotate without calibration, increased or insufficient pressure occurs, causing errors with the end-product. In a high precision environment, even the smallest difference can have a huge impact on the final product. When the fine tolerances have been exceeded, the result can be expensive and time-consuming repairs.
ESPRIT Additive Powder-Bed Fusion (PBF)
PBF is the most mature additive manufacturing technology for industrial production and represents 86 percent of the worldwide machine install base. PBF is used to build 3D parts by heating successive layers of powder, typically at the micron-level, and generally produces parts that require finishing with conventional CNC machine tools to achieve a high-quality surface finish.
TungCut Multifunctional Grooving System
For job shops that are mass-producing small parts with Swiss lathes, minimizing material waste in the part-off process can be an extremely effective solution for cost savings. The 1.2 mm-wide (.047″-wide) grooving inserts can reduce the material waste produced by parting-off by up to 40% when compared with using 2.0 mm-wide (.079″-wide) insert.
Production Manager for ProNest CAD/CAM
Production Manager seamlessly integrates with Hypertherm's EDGE Connect CNC, to automatically capture machine data without the need for operator intervention. In addition, it displays real-time production data so team members across an organization can track the status of job orders, the production schedule, and pending inventory requirements.
StateMonitor Version 1.4.0 Software
Designed to highlight data usage and encourage time-saving workflow methods using clear-cut charts and graphs, the new StateMonitor V1.4.0 now offers even more benefits. One of the many new features often requested and now available in StateMonitor V1.4.0 is the ability to monitor tools within a connected machine.
TOP-Cut VAR Range Expanded
The TOP-Cut VAR line is now available in 4,5, and 6-flute configurations, with or without corner radius, and ball nose, stub, standard and long lengths in inch sizes, over 300 SKU's in total. In addition, EMUGE-FRANKEN USA can provide custom variations or tool modifications of TOP-Cut VAR mills.
Deburr any crosshole with ORBITOOL
The ORBITOOL® deburring tool enables fast and consistent deburring of crossholes and blind intersections. The protective disk ensures that deburring only occurs at the edge of intersection without damage to adjacent surfaces.
Mazak Canada names new GM
Mazak Corp. has announced that David Andrews will be joining the Mazak Canada Group in the role of general manager. Andrews will report to Ray Buxton, the outgoing general manager, for an interim transition period.
CrazyMill Cool P&S Toric Version Milling Cutter
A unique tool for numerous applications: Milling of holes, ramps, pockets, grooves and sides. Seemingly without resistance, the milling cutter plunges into the materials that are difficult to machine. It cuts powerfully with high precision, stability and excellent cutting parameters, even into the solid - effortlessly. Behind this perfection is a sophisticated technology composed of a multitude of factors.
STUDER RoboLoad System
As an external loader, STUDER roboLoad measures only 59.06" (1.50 m) wide: half the width of the machine itself. This saves valuable shop floor space, and yet the system offers plenty of room for workpieces manually loaded on six trays – each measuring 42.52" x 12.6" (1080 mm x 320 mm) – within a comparatively small work area.
1/4 NPT HollowStream Liquid Atomizing Spray Nozzle
With HollowStream nozzles, the liquid is supplied into the body of the nozzle creating a swirling action within a vortex chamber. This vortex produces the spray pattern when the machined nozzle breaks the liquid surface tension as it exits the orifice and into a controlled spray angle.
