thyssenkrupp Materials acquires Cobotix Manufacturing
Southfield, Michigan-based thyssenkrupp Materials NA has acquired Cobotix Manufacturing Inc., a precision metal fabricator that specializes in working with copper and aluminum.
TungSpeed-Mill series
Tungaloy Corp. recently expanded its TungSpeed-Mill series with new small-diameter, close-pitch cutters designed for precision machining applications. The expanded lineup includes bore-type cutters in three sizes: ø40 mm (z=8), ø50 mm (z=10) and ø63 mm (z=14). The new cutters feature a steel body construction that balances weight reduction with structural integrity. This design enables the tools to remain under the 3 kg weight limit (including arbor) required for BT30 machine compatibility. The lightweight construction makes these tools particularly suitable for smaller machining centers while maintaining the necessary rigidity for precise cutting operations.
