Video-Based, Precision Inspection System
The Galileo KineMic from L. S. Starrett is an entry-level, modular, video-based inspection system designed for quality assurance, receiving inspection, training, manufacturing, assembly, research, documentation and a variety of other applications.
Read MoreHigh-Torque Angle Head
El Tool’s coolant-driven angle heads develop as much as 100 inch-pounds of torque. The heads incorporate a planetary gear with a 5:1 ratio, said to be ideal for applications where high torque at lower speeds is required. The angle heads are powered by an integral positive displacement ball piston motor driven by the machining center’s high-pressure coolant system.
Read MoreUniversal Gear Tester
Mahr Federal introduces a Class 1 universal gear tester that provides fast, accurate analysis for a range of gear and gear tool applications on gears with ODs as large as 400 mm. The system is part of the GMX series and incorporates a four-axis PowerPC controller with automatic tailstock and high-accuracy 3D scanning probe head. The system provides a solution for both universal and specialized gear manufacturing processes.
Read MoreHigh-Speed VTCs
GBI Cincinnati’s SMS CNC, high speed vertical turning centers are said to be ideal for mixed volume, short-run operations as well as dedicated high-volume applications. With a swing of 650 mm and a maximum turning diameter and height of 610 mm and 505 mm, the SMS AC-600 combines high-performance turning and large machining capacity within a compact 1,700- × 1,600- × 12,942-mm footprint. X-axis travel is 306 mm and Z-axis travel is 505 mm.
Read MoreGrinding Filtration System
Ebbco’s Evolution series filtration systems for the grinding industry are said to be a complete precision machining filtration package, suitable for use with virtually all metals, PCD and ceramics.
Read MoreLaser Calibration System
Renishaw’s XL-80 laser calibration system brings precision and portability to manufacturing machinery process validation, the company says. The system’s design allows for a 4× slew rate and a 10× dynamic data capture rate in a small, light and portable package. The system increases linear measurement speed to 4 m/s, while providing a resolution of 1 nm, even at top speed.
Read MoreChipbreaker For Steel Turning
Seco Tools offers its MR6 chipbreaker optimized for peak performance in the medium-rough turning of steels. The chipbreaker’s main advantage is the open and highly positive design coupled with the company’s Duratomic coated grades, allowing for the use of higher cutting speeds when compared to traditionally designed chipbreakers, the company says. The chipbreaker generates low cutting forces within the main cutting area allowing high cutting speed, depth of cut and feed, which increase machine utilization and productivity for the customer.
Read MoreMachine-Adapted Clamping Units For Lathes
Sandvik Coromant offers a new range of Coromant Capto machine-adapted clamping units (MACU) for lathe machines. Said to be ideal for both turning and milling applications, the products provide the flexibility to change from one system to another quickly. They also channel high-pressure coolant from CoroTurn HP cutting heads, thus reducing temperatures and improving chip control.
Read MoreRoughing Face Mills Increase Uptime
Valenite has added the V560 heavy-duty, roughing face mill to its general purpose Penta family of five-sided, face milling cutters. The 0. 400" depth-of-cut capability allows for machining under the tough outer layer of forge or cast workpieces, reducing insert wear compared to smaller inserts, the company says.
Read MoreLinear Guide Ball Bushings
The LG linear guide ball bushing from THK is said to offer high accuracy, smooth motion and high load capacities. Its rotation-prevention function, where four rows of circular arc grooves are arranged on the shaft, is included to ensure precise movement. This circular-arc-groove design allows for increased load carrying capability.
Read MoreInline Filter Protects Components
Vektek has developed an inline filter to help deal with system contamination, which can invade circuits and damage sensitive components. These compact filters are available in 10- and 25-micron filtration models to protect components, isolate contamination inside plumbing and keep systems operating at peak performance. These filters are small enough to use on each device and for protective use throughout the circuit.
Read MoreCarbide End Mills
V-Hemoth, Micro 100 Tool Corporation’s high-velocity variable pitch end mills, feature variable flutes pitch. The carbide end mills are designed for high speed milling while eliminating chatter and vibration. All tools have AlTiN coating as standard.
