CoroMill MH20
The CoroMill MH20 complements existing products in the CoroMill range, and fills a strategic gap in the high feed indexable milling product line. Designed to deliver reliability with minimal vibration, the CoroMill MH20 has been adapted for applications where components are notoriously difficult to machine, such as in the oil and gas, mold and die and aerospace sectors.
MFH-MAX High-Feed Milling Series
The MFH-MAX provides a new alternative to conventional 90° end mills when roughing to medium-finishing. The MFH-MAX also provides more capabilities than conventional high-feed mills by reducing the number of tool paths and machining time when cutting workpieces with large variations in machining margins.
High Feed Square Cut Size 14 Milling Systems
Not only does this solution make it easier to machine sticky materials, but it is designed for easy, ergonomic indexing and the pocket and screw designs simplify positioning. The cutters themselves feature a new environmentally friendly coating and their outstanding high feed milling performance reduces the amount of power used in roughing. Yet another step in the right direction for Seco Tools to continue their journey to create more environmentally sustainable manufacturing and machining solutions.

Grinder option tackles non‐round punch and pin jobs
Rollomatic, the original inventor of pinch/peel grinding machines, showcased a new model of pinch/peel machine at the recent Eastec show that can perform non-round grinding of punches and pins.
GrindSmart 660XW
The GrindSmart 660XW is a 6-axis tool and peel grinding machine allows the user to utilize cost-effective and advanced lean manufacturing principles; termed as "Ultra-Lean Grinding Process." The machine includes a 6•position wheel changer and linear motors on all axes. It features a traveling high-speed workhead. Peel grinding for blank prepara•on and neck grinding are included in the same chucking.n
ModuleWorks Integrated Into CNC Controls
Integrated directly into the HMI, ModuleWorks machine simulation enhances the Mitsubishi controls with high-performance multi-axis milling and turning simulation including gouge and deviation analysis and collision detection with manual or automatic refinement of the simulation result. Workpiece coloring according to the sequence provides convenient visual analysis and enables operators to immediately identify and prevent potential collisions for safe and cost-effective machining.
EMC Rectangular Enclosures
Rectangular enclosures with EMC shielding to protect the sensitive signals from external electromagnetic signals also seal stronger signals from leaking to the outside and interfering with surrounding electronics. According to the transfer impedance measurement test by CESI EMC Laboratory based on German Military standards VG 95214-10 and VG 95214-11, Mencom's EMC series enclosures with dedicated electromagnetic shields provide additional improvements with better shielding attenuation than their standard metal enclosures that already provide a decent level of shielding attenuation.
465 (464) Series of Fine Boring Heads
The 465 (464) fine boring heads have a full diameter range of 1.968" – 8.070" (50mm – 205mm) with the lightweight aluminum Alu-Line boring heads ranging from 2.559" – 8.070" (65.00mm – 205.00mm). Featuring the standard Wohlhaupter MVS connection, these boring heads provide the capability to adapt to any machine.
