Element Clamps
With the ever increasing demand to position and hold more weight and higher pressures, Loc-Line introduces its ¾" element clamps. The ¾" system has been used to successfully deliver large amounts of fluid, hold heavy objects and large shields.
SuperTuf-V Endmills
Regal Cutting Tools has developed a variable-helix endmill that minimizes deflection and reduces vibration. This tool can be run at heavy feed rates to outperform carbide at half the cost when milling titanium, stainless steel and nickel-base superalloys, according to the company.
TNC 640 Mill/Turn Control
The TNC 640, HEIDENHAIN's mill/turn control, has added powerful new cycles and features. Enhanced graphics, interpolation turning and gear hobbing are some examples that will extend the versatility of the TNC 640 to new applications such as for machining large parts for power plants.
Groove ‘N Turn Dovetail Grooving Inserts
THINBIT, manufactured by Kaiser Tool Co., announces the expansion of its GROOVE 'N TURN line of dovetail grooving inserts. Dovetail grooving inserts are used to machine O-ring dovetail grooves with 66° undercut angles.
Constant-Speed Tapping Attachments
The new RCT85, for larger sizes, taps 10 ½-13 holes, 1" deep in 18 seconds. For fastest cycle time, Tapmatic offers CST (constant-speed tapping) attachments.
Barriquan Deburring Toolholders
Sugino Corp. introduces the new Barriquan family of self-compensating deburring toolholders. Barriquan toolholders have integral tension and compression designed for hard tool deburring of all materials and part shapes.
CoroTurn 300
For longitudinal and face turning, Sandvik Coromant introduces the CoroTurn 300 for higher component quality, increased handling efficiency and longer tool life in steel turning operations. The CoroTurn 300 features stable insert clamping, as well as eight-edged inserts for the high chip control, tool life and surface finish.
