Vision Engineering offers microscope trade-in special
Vision Engineering Inc., a manufacturer of optical and digital inspection and non-contact measurement systems based in New Milford, Connecticut, in June launched a microscope trade-in program for North America. Set up for a trade-in on any microscope, the program in return offers participants a 25% discount on Mantis eyepiece-less microscopes until Aug. 31.
AutoHone
Unlike traditional drag finishing machines, the AutoHone developed by North Kingston, Rhode Island-based Bel Air Finishing Supply Inc., rotates media instead of parts.
Summit 10.10.10
AIMS Metrology, a manufacturer of coordinate measuring machines (CMM) based in Dayton, Ohio, in July introduced its new Summit 10.10.10, a CMM engineered with a 5-axis REVO-2 dynamic scanning probe and 1 meter cubed capacity.
Survey: Manufacturers don’t expect recovery until 2021
Members of the National Tooling & Machining Association and Precision Metalforming Association say more federal programs are needed.
Ecoclean earns German innovation gold award
The EcoCvelox deburring, cleaning and drying machine from Ecoclean Inc., Southfield, Michigan, in May earned a gold award in the machines and engineering division of the German Design Council's "Excellence in Business to Business" competition.
MarSurf CM
This compact system was designed with motorized XYZ-axes and enables measurements to be performed directly on large parts for user-friendly surface analysis, anywhere it is needed.
TDM and TDM Global Line 2020
With the new TDM Global Line 2020 release, users achieve greater transparency regarding their tooling costs and key figures. This is possible because each user can now individually configure their TDM Global Line dashboard. The relevant reports can then either be displayed in the dashboard, printed out or simply transferred to Excel.
LNS Fox SC2 330 Spray Cabin
The LNS Fox SC2 330 Spray Cabin has a high-efficiency filtration system that eliminates more than 99% of contaminants (Afnor 440060). A powerful, low-noise, single-phase fan motor draws air at 344 CFM through a washable pre-filter and then through the long-life, easily accessible main filter. An acrylic visor helps protect operators from oil and debris spray.
MEAS High-Efficiency Milling Cutters
The MEAS provides you with a broad range of applications from facing, shouldering, slotting, and profiling to pocketing, ramping and plunging. The sharp insert designs feature Kyocera's proprietary hydrogen-free DLC coated PDL025 grade to maintain excellent wear resistance in aluminum.
Solid Carbide Radius Fillet End Mills, CR-Supercut High Feed End Mills
The Solid Carbide Radius Fillet End Mills are configured for different radius filleting. Available with two, three and four flutes, they also feature a cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HA. The CR-Supercut High Feed End Mills are designed for high feed rates with shallow cutting depths for a wide range of materials up to 56 HRC.
FixtureBuilder 8.0
The software allows users to design metrology fixturing set-ups without having to use co-ordinate measuring machines (CMM) and other inspection devices. This reduces the amount of set-up time and increases productivity. It can be used with a CAD model of the part, which is imported into FixtureBuilder.
ALPHA-KUT Quick Change Disks
ALPHA-KUT™ consists of triangular, precision-formed abrasive grains which exhibit the continually self-sharpening properties and wear characteristics of ceramics, delivering a consistent cutting action over a long service life. The grain strength is complemented by a rigid fiber backing for stability, allowing added pressure for maximum stock removal.
