CIRCULAR SAW BLADES CUT THROUGH TOUGH STEEL APPLICATIONS
New Xtreme Technology (NXT) blades from M. K. Morse have fully optimized the rake angles and tooth geometries on each diameter of blade for smooth, fast cuts with less vibration and longer blade life.
C & B Machinery Supplies Grinders Used On Chevy Volt Connecting Rods
The company was awarded an order by GM for two special double disc grinding systems to finish grind both coplanar and non-coplanar connecting rods for the auxiliary 1.4L engine in the electrically-powered Chevy Volt.
Increased Brazilian Steel Demand to Impact World Supply
This research manager from Majestic Steel USA predicts that increased domestic demand for steel will turn Brazil from a net exporter of finished steel into a net importer during the next three to five years –potentially creating rapid price increases on the global market.
AUTOMATIC COMPLETE MACHINING OF PRISMATIC AND CASE-STYLE PARTS
HEC 500/630/800 Athletic series medium-sized horizontal machining centers from StarragHeckert use an NC-controlled rotating and tilting unit that also reduces setup times, eliminates additional adjustment work, makes door-to-door times faster and lowers costs per unit with increased machining accuracy – all at the same time.
ALCAN EXTRUSIONS AND AUTOMOTIVE STRUCTURES EXPANDS MANUFACTURING CAPACITY
Production site expanded after recording high level of demand for greener car components made of aluminum, both for premium and mass production markets.
COOLANT THROUGH-SPINDLE SYSTEM EXTENDS TOOL LIFE
Ideal for deep hole drilling, the high-pressure through-spindle CYCLO BLAST coolant system from MAG is a simple-to-install retrofit on small Fadal vertical machining centers.
RK Technologies Named Representative for Advanced Metal Etching
RK Technologies offers micro-miniature stamping, plating, custom precision machining, photo-chemical etching and custom injection molding.
RIGID HMC HAS LARGEST WORK ENVELOPE IN ITS CLASS
The KIWA-Japan KH-55 horizontal machining center from Methods Machine Tools uses exclusive expandable tool and pallet technology to handle work piece sizes up to 35.4 in x 39.4 in and weights up to 1,650 lb (750 kg).
INCREASE MACHINING PRODUCTIVITY ON TITANIUM PARTS BY 4X
Makino T-Series 5-axis horizontal machining centers use ADVANTiGE technologies to double the tool life of conventional titanium machining operations on aerospace parts such as edge frames, pylons and bulkheads.
MODULAR HMC TRANSFORMS TO SUIT ANY PART, MATERIAL OR MACHINING STRATEGY
The green design of the modular SPECHT 500/630 horizontal machining center from MAG eliminates warm-up time, sleeps when idle, minimizes coolant and air-extraction, cuts dry, wet or with MQL, and conserves space.
ROUTINELY ACHIEVE 4µ MACHINING PRECISION AND ACCURACY
SPC 7120 and 7140 SIP 4/5-axis horizontal machining centers from StarragHeckert are ideal for aerospace machining of exotic materials with hard-to-machine characteristics, such as titanium and Inconel.
5-AXIS PRODUCTIVITY ON AEROSPACE AND ENERGY PARTS
The modular HMC 1250/1600 from MAG uses a high-torque spindle especially suited for aerospace titanium cutting, while live spindles extend W-axis reach up to 800 mm (31.5 in) for deep-cavity milling to high precision with shorter, more rigid tool lengths.
