HARVI I TE 4-Flute Solid-Carbide Endmill
Kennametal announced the latest addition to its HARVI line of high-performance solid endmills, the HARVI I TE 4-flute solid-carbide endmill. With a radical new design, the HARVI I TE delivers outstanding performance in a broad range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys and cast iron.
KBH10B and KBH20B PCBN Inserts
Kennametal announced its latest innovation in hard turning, KBH10B and KBH20B PCBN grades, double-sided inserts for materials up to 65 HRC. The new grades deliver high productivity and long tool life when turning tool steels and other hardened materials.
QM-Height Series High-Performance Height Gauge
Mitutoyo America Corp. announces the release of the QM-Height series high-performance height gauge to its small tools line. The QM-Height is used to measure height, height difference (step), inside/outside widths, inside/outside diameters, circle pitch, free-form surface maximum/minimum heights and height difference by scanning measurement.
TACU ER Units and Solid ER Collets
Kennametal announced an expansion of the turret-adapted clamping units (TACU): ER-ready driven units in conjunction with a line of solid ER collets that are threaded to accept screw-on milling cutters.
B21*SGL Solid-Carbide Drill
Kennametal introduced another high-performance cutting tool, the B21*SGL solid-carbide drill with through-coolant. Designed for stainless steel, nickel and cobalt-based alloys, the B21*SGL with patented point geometry and monolayer PVD AlTiN coating, delivers improved productivity and longer tool life for aerospace and energy applications requiring predictable, high-production drilling.
3D-Printed Stator Bore Tool
Kennametal has developed a 3D-printed stator bore tool to meet growing customer demand for lighter weight tooling solutions used to machine components for hybrid and electric vehicles. E-mobility components are typically machined on small, low-horsepower CNC machining centers that require lighter weight tooling solutions.
Hexalobe Tools for Machining Medical Screws
A drill, a milling cutter, an ultimate machining strategy with perfectly tuned parameters; this is needed, when machining medical screws made from titanium or stainless steels. Mikron Tool developed a turnkey solution, which simultaneously does the machining of hex lobular bone screws (better known as Torx) 50% faster, guaranteeing also a high degree of precision of the profile and achieving nearly burr-free results.
Finger Gate Pick Module Impact Gate
Wildeck Inc. announces the launch of a new pick module impact gate, the Finger Gate. This durable steel gate easily integrates into any facility and provides a strong, protective barrier at elevated work levels, helping facilities achieve their automation goals.
PVC Handsaw
Sawing PVC piping has never been made more easier, thanks to the new PVC Handsaw from BAHCO.
M4130 Shoulder Milling Cutter
Walter has introduced the M4130, a shoulder milling cutter that reduces costs through its ability to use Walter's universal M4000 system inserts in a variety of different applications. It's soft cutting action makes the M4130 shoulder milling cutter ideal for roughing operations involving steel, cast iron, stainless steels and materials with difficult cutting properties.
No. 841 Universal Oven
No. 841 is a 650° F (343° C) universal oven from Grieve, currently used for a variety of heat treatments at the customer's facility. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 36" W x 36" D x 36" H. 9 KW are installed in Incoloy sheathed tubular heating elements, while a 600-cfm, 1/2-hp recirculating blower provides universal airflow to the workload.
UR16e Collaborative Robot
Universal Robots announces the immediate availability of the UR16e, which boasts a 16 kg (35 lbs.) payload capability. The new UR16e combines the high payload with a reach of 900 mm and pose repeatability of +/- 0.05 mm, making it suitable for automating tasks such as heavy-duty material handling, heavy-part handling, palletizing and machine tending.
