Chucks And Arbors Designed For Holding Thin-Walled Parts
The Conform-A-Chuck and Conform-A-Arbor workholding solutions are designed to adapt to an out-of-round OD or ID and securely grip that diameter to enable boring, honing, grinding or other machining operations without changing the original free-state shape of the part. These workholding solutions are suited for the machining of thin-walled parts such as automotive smog control air pump rotors, gas turbine parts, thin-wall tubing and cylinder liners for diesel engines. The Conform-A products rely upon a plastic material called Hydra-Fibre.

The C-420NC programmable dual column band saw accommodates round material ranging to 16. 5″ in diameter and 16. 5″ × 16.
Read MoreCNC Machine Simulation And Optimization Software
Vericut 7 CNC machine simulation, verification and optimization software eliminates manual prove-out of NC programs, the company says. It is also said to reduce scrap loss and rework. The program optimizes NC programs in order to save time and produce higher quality surface finishes.
Read MoreFour-Axis CNC Drill Sharpener
According to the company, the XPS-16 CNC drill sharpener can reproduce complex, high-tech points found on premium HSS and carbide drills. This sharpener is designed for shops that require precision, simplicity and productivity, the company says. A collet chuck version of the auto sharpener is available.
Read MoreTilt/Rotary Table Delivers Five-Axis Machining
The GSI CNCT-321 tilt/rotary table is designed to add four- and five-axis productivity at a minimal cost. The table allows manufacturers to machine as many as five sides of a part while minimizing second and third operations and setups. The table also provides excellent clamping torque and indexing accuracy, the company says.
Read MoreVideo Microscope Converts For Use With A Borescope
The Luxxor video microscope is an inspection station that allows users to attach either a microscope lens or a borescope to its mount. The microscope attachment features an f/4. 5 zoom lens that delivers sharp, close-up views of the exterior of any metal machined part, casting or welded part, with magnification ranges from 15× to 83×.
Read MoreBoring Head Features Fine-Adjusting Resolution
The EWB-UP ultra precision finish boring head is part of a series of boring tools with fine-adjusting resolution (0. 00005" on diameter for inch-graduated heads and 0. 001-mm steps of diameter corrections).
Read MoreHigh Speed CNC Lathe(2)
The HL-25 DMS CNC lathe is designed for high speed precision turning and milling. The lathe features a Durga 23-station, twin disk turret and subspindle for increased productivity. The turret is said to provide quick setup times and fast chip-to-chip tool changes.
Read MoreCarbide-Tipped Band Saw Blades
The Advanz line of carbide-tipped band saw blades features a special tooth tip cylinder of high-quality, submicron-grain carbide with a triple-chip grind. The blades, which feature quality carbide-to-back bonding, offer fatigue, shock, wear and strip resistance when cutting difficult-to-machine materials. The FS blade configuration is designed for a range of challenging materials such as Fiberglass, masonite, plastics, composites, aluminum castings and abrasive wood.
Read MoreHigh Speed, High Productivity Rotary Tables
The RNA-S, RBA-S and RBA-K, S series rotary tables have an indexing speed ranging to 88. 9 rpm. These high speed rotary tables are said to increase productivity not only by decreasing cycle times, but also by enabling smoother surface finishes, thereby reducing secondary machining requirements.
Read MoreCAM Software Offers Complex Machining For High Speed Operations
FeatureCAM 2009 offers increased support for turn-mill equipment, which can complete parts in a single setup on one machine. With FeatureTurn/Mill, both turning and milling features can be programmed together to reduce both programming and machining time. The latest release of PowerMill CAM software is said to offer complex machining operations for high-speed operations and five-axis machining, as well as introducing new strategies to provide greater functionality for 2D, including 2D cutter compensation and 2D pocketing and profiling directly from wireframe curves.
Read MoreHole-Finishing Tools
Shefcut precision reaming and boring tools are designed for accurate hole geometries with a fine finish. Burraway and Burr-Off mechanical hole-deburring tools are designed for controlled edge break or burr removal on both sides of holes in one pass. The company also features tools for burnishing, including multi-roll, single-roll and diamond burnishing tools.
