Increased Versatility Fixturing
Designed to increase the versatility of standard 4" and 6" vises, TalonGrip is a simple bolt-on system that allows users to perform aggressive machining operations while clamping on as little as 0. 060". The system is suited for small lot sizes and difficult applications.
Read MoreLaser Marking Of Challenging Materials
The EV4G green laser system is suited for marking and processing challenging materials such as silicon, colored plastics, acrylic and polymers used in the electronics, semiconductor packaging, solar and medical industries. This fiber-coupled, diode-pumped, air-cooled solid-state (DPSS) laser system produces a more than 4W laser beam (TEMoo mode) at a 532-nm wavelength. In addition, the system is optimized for a stable performance from low- to high-power levels to handle a variety of applications and materials.
Read MoreIntegrated Technology For Machine Tool Probing
Designed for small machining centers and inspection of hard-to-reach part features, the OMP400 optical probe is said to combine miniaturization of the OMP40 probe with advances in strain gage technology. It is suited for machines with short, Z-axis travel and spindles as small as HSK 32. Combining its size, accuracy, reliability and robustness, the probe is suited for high-accuracy applications.
Read MoreIntelligent Code Editing
Predator CNC Editor version 8. 0 features intelligent code NC editing, side-by-side file compare, single-channel DNC, color G/M code support and integrated 3D graphical solid verification and wireframe backplotting. The release includes CNC programming wizards, OpenGL-based backplotting and the introduction of customer, part and job details within the program using Predator CNC Editor Enterprise version.
Read MoreCAD/CAM Software Features Intuitive User Interface
Version 9. 2 of PartMaker CAD/CAM software is suited for CNC mills, lathes, wire EDM, turn-mill centers and Swiss-type lathes. Major highlights include a revamped and more productive user-interface, improved capabilities for programming directly on solid models and the ability to automatically generate descriptive and visual HTML-based setup sheets, the company says.
Read MoreLaser Calibration And Volumetric Error Compensation
The MCV-5002 is suited for the laser calibration and 3D volumetric error compensation of CNC machine tools, CMMs and five-axis, gantry-type machines for the aerospace industry. This system is said to be efficient at calibrating and compensating linear, straightness, squareness and angular errors. The compact LICS-100A is designed for the laser calibration and compensation of pitch errors or displacement errors of machining centers, CNC machine tools, CMMs and other machines.
Read MoreTurn Parts With Simple Geometries
The Delta Swiss-type lathe product line is dedicated to machining parts with simple geometries. These machines feature a cast iron base, a large-capacity chip pan and a wide working area. The machines can be customized to work with or without a guide bushing, and they can use rotating tools.
Read MoreHigh Velocity Coolant Delivered To Cutting Edge
Jetstream Tooling is a range of high performance tools designed to deliver coolant directly at the insert cutting edge for productivity gains. According to the company, this tooling controls chips and extends tool life. Cutting speed and feed rates are increased across virtually all coolant pressures (from 70 psi to 5,000 psi) and many material types—specifically titanium alloys, but also nickel-chromium, aluminum, steel alloys and stainless steels.
Read MoreImprove XRF Hand-Held Performance
The company’s Niton XL3t series material analyzers with geometrically optimized large area drift detector (GOLDD) technology are said to deliver improvements in light element detection, overall sensitivity and measurement times. This instrument offers light element detection of magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur without helium or vacuum purging. For the machining industry, the capability to verify sulfur content in free machining steels, such as SS 303, can help eliminate damage to tooling caused by incorrect materials, the company says.
Read MoreFlexible Tool Cribs
The company’s tool cribs, which consist of stacked or unstacked cabinets, can become part of an integrated CNC parts storage and transport system. Available in a variety of sizes and heights, these tool cribs can be configured to suit the user’s available space and storage requirements. The complete tool storage system allows for the integrated movement of tooling from crib to machine and back again through the use of tool transporters.
Read MoreFront-Actuated Through-Hole Air Chucks
The FA series of chucks features a stationary air distributor ring, incorporating special profile seals and locking check valves to maintain air pressure while the chuck is rotating. Standard repeating accuracy is 0. 0001" (0.
Read MoreFully Integrated CAM For SolidWorks
Mastercam for SolidWorks is a fully integrated CAM system that is said to run seamlessly in SolidWorks. SolidWorks users can program their parts directly within SolidWorks using Mastercam’s tool paths and machining strategies. The CAM system includes a suite of cutting strategies, including Feature Based Machining (FBM) and 3D, high speed machining tool paths.
