Cutting Tool Engineering and Sandvik Coromant on Feb. 22 presented this one-hour webinar focused on how shops can add tool life and gain productivity advantages when performing facemilling and unrepeated shoulder milling for the automotive market. The webinar is based on "A Lighter Touch," a feature article published in the February 2023 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine. Sangram Dash, who authored the article and served as the webinar presenter, is the global product application manager for indexable milling at Sandvik Coromant.

The United States Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI) works to represent, promote, and expand the U.S. cutting tool industry and to promote the benefits of buying North American-made cutting tools manufactured by its members. These promotions, in conjunction with your company’s individual promotional efforts, serve to strengthen your business and the industry as a whole.

The MD177 and the MD173 solid carbide milling cutters boast seven cutting edges to help extend the tool life of the milling cutter.

The 14th episode in CTE's Robotics Results video series shows CNC machine-tending robots in action. Supplied by Fusion | RoboJob-USA President Craig Zoberis, the video is a supplement to his latest Robotics Results column, "The Acceptance Cycle," which appears in the February 2023 issue of CTE magazine.

NSK America Corp. offers a three-minute video overview of its HES electric spindle series, which is said to enable conventional milling machines and machining centers to perform high-speed machining, small diameter drilling, and milling with good surface finishes.

This brief video from NSK America Corp. shows off the company's new iSpeed5 high-speed electric system, which is said to be capable of running continuously at up to 80,000 rpm using an external controller.

Whether you’re using low-horsepower equipment, high-speed machining centers or a 5-axis machine, POW-R-FEED M936 cutters give you the power to get more production out of every machine, every shift, every day.

This 30-minute webinar offers our readers an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the "Thread Without Dread" article published in the January 2023 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering. The article, which features insight from EMUGE-FRANKEN USA and Tapmatic Corp., maps out strategies for meeting the special challenges of putting screw threads in titanium.

For six years, in conjunction with collaborators at University of Virginia, University of Texas at Dallas, ColoradoSchool of Mines and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Lucy Pao – the Palmer endowed chair in the department of electrical, computer and energy engineering – and her team have developed the Segmented Ultralight Morphing Rotor, or SUMR, turbine, a two-bladed, downwind rotor to test the performance of this lightweight concept.

Although a variety of part traceability solutions are available for traditional manufacturing processes, including bar coding, laser etching and adding serial numbers and radio frequency identification, those technologies are not particularly efficient or effective for additively manufactured parts, which tend to have complex geometries and can be microscale, according to Cody Burke, co-founder and COO of SmartParts. To overcome those challenges, SmartParts reports that it developed an integrated solution that combines advanced material taggants, hardware and software to connect manufacturing data to additive materials and parts.

What we don’t see when turning HTA at a microscopic level is that a heat pocket is being created between the cutting edge and the chip being formed. This heat pocket is preventing coolant from targeting the cutting edge. What HPC does is break through the heat pocket and get coolant to where it needs to be.

For three consecutive quarters, North American robot sales have hit record highs, according to the Association for Advancing Automation in Ann Arbor, Michigan. For CNC machining in particular, orders for automation are “beyond expectations,” said Craig Zoberis, founder and president of Burr Ridge, Illinois-based Fusion | RoboJob-USA, which provides systems for automatically loading and unloading CNC turning and milling machines.

Post-processing operations can be eliminated with System 222. Guhring’s cutting geometries for steel, stainless steel and cast iron are sintered right into the inserts.
