8 x 12-inch Bench Lathe
The bench lathe meets the requirements of prototype shops, home machinists, jewelry manufacturing, tool rooms and fabrication and maintenance shops which need to turn small metal parts. Standard on the bench lathe are: 3-jaw lathe chuck, safety chuck and tool post guards, 4-way tool post, centers, chip tray and precision thrust and ball bearings in the head stock.
Version 24.05.01 of JETCAM Expert CAD/CAM Software
V24 is all about performance. The 64-bit Preview Release demonstrates a drastic increase in nesting efficiency for our High and Ultra Performance time-based nesting algorithms, delivering much more efficient nests over the same time as a 32-bit system.
Technical society releases ‘sustainability opportunities’ report
The Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers, a premier technical society serving the tribology and lubrication engineering business sector, has released its new free digital special report, Sustainability Opportunities for Tribology.
Travers Tool celebrates a ‘century of excellence’
Travers Tool Company, which has corporate headquarters in Flushing, New York, and distribution centers in South Carolina and California, is celebrating its 100-year anniversary this year.
Grinding machine eliminates variances in grinding due to temperature changes
The Swiss grinding experts from Tschudin are presenting what they say is a world first: a grinding machine with perfect heat transfer.
Starrett Invites IMTS Attendees to Try New, Innovative Touch Screen Indicator
Two W4900 Indicators will be available for attendees to use firsthand and experience the simple navigation. Also, a bank of W4900 Indicators shown in a variety of configurations will be continuously taking measurements of a rotating crankshaft.
CUT S 400 Dedicated
For faster, easier cleaning, the casting of the CUT 400 S Dedicated is designed so that tank water constantly runs down the interior sides of the work envelope, keeping them wet and preventing EDM residue from drying and hardening. This sticky residue also plays havoc with an EDM's filter and drive systems.
Precision Express Program
Precision Express matches an in-house profiling cell with a broad range of on-hand stock, cutting wheel manufacturing and delivery lead times from months to days. Even when gear manufacturers see a spike in demand or need a custom profile at a moment's notice, Weiler Abrasives can provide consistent availability and delivery.
UltraTEC Ultrasonic A25 Deburring Machine
The UltraTEC ultrasonic A25 creates a formation and dissolution/implosion of bubbles in water that release an intense energy during implosion. This is created by an ultra-high oscillation of 20kHz (20,000 oscillations per second) with an oscillation width of +/-80-120microns, which far exceeds the amplitude of ultrasonic cleaning, cutting and welding technologies.
SGR Series Rod Motor Positioning Module
In addition to use in the semiconductor, biotechnology, precision assembly and battery manufacturing industries, the SGR Series rod module is also appropriate for glass and LCD panels, medical equipment, printing machines, laser processing and precision assembly.
QCPSS Heavy Duty Sliding Locks
Two tip types of the QCPSS are available: A flat tip that helps minimize damage to an object, and a diamond-surface tip that provides high holding force. Both versions provide 247 lb. clamping force. The clamp body is made from 303 stainless steel. The handle is made from 304 stainless steel.
Starrett W4900 Indicator
Supporting Industry 4.0, IoT and the Digital Factory, all of the W4900 Indicators will be integrated with the Starrett DataSure 4.0 Wireless Data Collection System for automated wireless measurement data capture and transmission.
