T-A Pro Drilling System
The T-A Pro drill combines material-specific insert geometries, a redesigned drill body and a proprietary coolant-through system to allow penetration rates which run at speeds nearly 30% faster than other high performance drills on the market. Coolant outlets are designed to direct maximum flow to the cutting edge providing quick heat extraction where it is most critical - even at significantly higher speeds.

Optical µCMM machine hits the road
From September to November, optical measurement supplier Bruker Alicona is hosting a U.S. roadshow. In more than 20 cities, exclusive demos of their optical metrology equipment will be organized under consideration of COVID regulations.
HALCON 20.11 Software
HALCON 20.11 will be released simultaneously for both the Steady and Progress editions. As a result, HALCON Steady customers can now access the many new features available in the last three Progress releases, including anomaly detection, the generic box finder, and optimized identification technologies.
J Series Line of VMC Jigs
The line provides positioning accuracy and repeatability of +/- 1µm. A thermal compensation system employs sensors on the machine faceplate and inside the spindle to minimize the effects of temperature changes on part accuracy and cut temperature-generated displacement by 60 percent. This system also reduces Z-axis thermal growth and deflection by 30 percent.
