Cutting Tool Engineering debuts a new video series, Cobotics Corner. Watch a brief demonstration of a robotic CNC machine tending operation on a Haas VF2SS with a Universal Robots UR5e and a Robotiq Dual Hand-E.

With its GCX Linear machine, ANCA CNC Machines brings a complete solution for manufacturing and sharpening skiving cutters as part of a comprehensive gear cutting tool package.

The L20XII ATC by Marubeni Citizen-Cincom Inc. provides an environment in which tool setting for machining several types of workpieces can be completed in a single setup.

Tungaloy's TungEight-Mill face milling cutter is for extremely light cutting with low power consumption, perfect for low rigidity and low horsepower machines with a BT-30 connection. TungEight-Mill incorporates single-sided positive inserts with eight economical cutting edges for heavy roughing to mirror finishing of various material faces.

Kyocera Precision Tools Inc. has released a milling line for high-speed aluminum applications. The MEAS series is engineered with unique grooved insert pockets for added stability when machining at high speeds.

Is it possible to change heavy workholding in one minute? The answer is absolutely with the centroteX S from Hainbuch America Corp. The changeover system features ergonomic handling, resists contamination and provides a short return on investment.

The A Brand ADO-TRS from OSG USA Inc. is a high-feed, three-flute carbide coolant-through drill. Patented geometry permits stable chip ejection even with less chip pocket space, which is inherent in three-flute drills.

Do you want to grind carbide tools and erode PCD tools with high productivity? The new VHybrid 360 from Vollmer of America Corp. combines the strengths of an innovative grinding machine and a proven, powerful erosion machine.

Dr. Jeffrey Badger provides a simple, if not pretty, solution to a nasty cylindrical grinding problem — when the side of a grinding wheel meets a flat surface. Watch the 103rd episode of the Grinding Doc video series.

UNISIG, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, demonstrates why trepanning is beneficial when drilling deep holes that are too large for high-pressure coolant drills or gundrills. Utilized in the aerospace, defense, material production, as well as oil and gas industries, trepanning reportedly offers higher productivity in many applications and uses less power than other drilling strategies.

Presented as a video supplement to Cutting Tool Engineering's July 2020 article that addresses the need for part manufacturers to work with toolmakers to learn about the wide range of tool options available today, "Illuminating Aluminum" offers two machining demonstrations from LMT Onsrud LP, Waukegan, Illinois, and RobbJack Corp., Lincoln, California.

For the 102nd Grinding Doc episode, Dr. Jeffrey Badger covers the impact that thermal softening, residual tensile stresses and rehardening burn have on fatigue life in steel workpieces.
