Hexagon unveils new GLOBAL optical scanning system Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has launched GLOBAL Advantage HTA (High Throughput and Accuracy), an enhanced metrology solution for the aerospace industry.
Direct tapping with no tool breakage Yamawa introduces the new family of ACHSP taps that enables significant reduction of production time in the manufacturing of aluminium workpieces that require threading of cored holes.
The rise of the robots DMG Mori has introduced a mobile robotic cell to automate its CNC turning centres. Called Robo2Go, it loads raw billets from a tray and unloads machined components automatically. The unit can be relocated easily by pallet truck to serve up to four different lathes sequentially on a shopfloor.
Diamond-tipped tools forever Diamond-tipped Supermini and Mini tools with internal cooling directly to the cutting edge are the latest additions to the products Horn offers for boring, profiling and grooving.
Turning on the edge Five insert edge preparations for different hard metal turning applications when using Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal’s BNC2010 and BNC2020 cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts, are said to enable specific process situations and problems to be overcome giving higher stability and greater operational consistency.
CGTech adds new additive simulation capability CGTech’s next version of its CNC simulation software, Vericut, will include a new additive manufacturing (AM) simulation module.
ANCA’s LinX cylindrical linear motor’s flying finish! As well as being pleasing to the eye, highly-polished flutes and gash surfaces improve chip evacuation and significantly improve tool performance and life. The smoother surface enables swarf (or chips) to exit more freely, preventing chip packing and material build up during machining.
CGTech announces UK launch of Vericut Force Developer of Vericut CNC simulation, verification and optimisation software, CGTech is set to officially launch its latest ‘physics-based’ toolpath optimisation module, Vericut Force, in the UK with a series of nationwide seminars.
Made for hard metal machining Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal has released AC6000M, a new series of turning insert grades and three chipbreaker styles to cover roughing, semi-finishing and the finish machining of ferritic high chrome, Martensitic, austenitic, two-phase austenitic/ferritic materials as well as precipitation hardening stainless steels.
Tiger.tec gold hits the jackpot Customers can strike it rich with the new Tiger.tec Gold cutting inserts from Walter GB in a range of rough and finish milling operations.
