UNE Gundrilling Machines
With five models built from two frame sizes, the UNE Series can drill hole diameters from 1.4 mm to 40 mm and depths up to 3,000 mm. The compact frame construction saves valuable floor space as well. Each machine can fit in close proximity to a shop's existing machining center, lathe or Swiss-style machine for efficient part-processing strategies.
Future-proof a shop with high-speed machines and brass
Global competition and high demand for everything from electronics to new transportation infrastructure have propelled manufacturing to rapid advances in productivity not only to keep pace but reduce cost per part and maintain competitiveness.
Efficiently manufacturing using 3D optical metrology
Woodward Inc., with over 50 years of heritage in the aerospace industry, develops and delivers motion control and integrated propulsion systems. Much of Woodward's success can be attributed to an approach of applying total system solutions in meeting the needs of customers and staying at the forefront of served industries.
Anca Pty Ltd. manufactures components for ventilators
Coming to the aid of a medical system crushed worldwide by the pandemic, Anca Pty Ltd. has joined an important consortium to rapidly manufacture invasive ventilators in Australia.
3D laser scanning accelerates production of masks for pandemic
(Southlake, Texas) -- Two recent personal protective equipment-related projects completed by NVision Inc. demonstrate the growing role that noncontact scanning/measurement technologies have in the race to create products and designs to minimize exposure to COVID-19.

Compact reCool ERAX Coolant-Through Solution
The reCool ERAX uses the patented reCool design to deliver coolant with a maximum pressure of 1,450 psi in live tooling applications with speeds up to 12,000 rpm. Equally well suited for emulsion and oil coolants, the system is currently available for ER collet sizes 16, 20, 25 and 32 to handle tools between 3-20 mm in diameter.
SHUR-BRITE Surface Conditioning Belts
With repeatable finishes, SHUR-BRITE® belts are ideal for large scale robotic applications. Users can create linear scratch patterns on stainless steel food equipment, and blend or re-orient scratch patterns after repairs. High edge durability and flexibility without chunking, and smear-free removal of oxidation, paint or adhesives make them ideal for many manufacturing and re-manufacturing environments.
PG1000 Optical Cutting Tool Inspection System
The PG1000 optical cutting tool inspection system has been manufactured and sold through a division of Euro-Tech Corporation since 1993. Effective November 20, 2019, the PG1000 is manufactured, sold, and serviced throughnPG Inspection Technologies.
Sphinx Nirox
The Nirox geometry has a degressive helix angle equal to 30 degrees at the point and is designed for accurate and precise hole location up to 9xD. A modern, TiAlSiN based coating allows for enhanced chip and coolant evacuation in difficult to machine and adhesive materials, such as titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, hardened steel and CoCr alloys.
CIM3D V9
ANCA's new CIM3D V9 release of the industry-leading CIMulator3D software has an upgraded interface with fresh colors and icons and is even easier to use with intuitive functionality.
EWE Digital Boring Heads
Due to the small sizes of these boring heads, the digital display will no longer be present on the head itself, rather the adjustment value will be shown on a separate mobile device or tablet that has the BIG KAISER App installed.
