Come explore the very foundation of the machine tool industry. This pavilion is where you’ll find the latest innovations in metal cutting equipment, machining centers, turning centers, drilling, boring, milling, and more.
Posted: August 6, 2016
Bridge Mills Handle Large Loads in a Smaller, Expandable Footprint
Johnford DMC Series double-column moving table bridge mills from Absolute Machine Tools allow for tight machining and tight tolerances during high speed machining of massive loads.
Rotary Tables for Heavy Duty Cutting
TJR rotary tables from CNC Indexing & Feeding Technologies feature an anti-wearing worm gear and shaft made of high tensile brass for durability.
New Generation Vertical Machining Centers
Third generation DNM series VMCs from Doosan Machine Tools are general purpose, workhorse machines for shops that need robust and accurate performance.
High Speed, Higher Precision Machining of Small to Medium-Sized Parts
Enshu showcases the WE30Ve vertical machining center featuring a spindle drive motor with peak output of 17.5 hp and 61 ft-lb of torque for aggressive cutting. Coupled with 1,969 ipm rapid feed rates and 394 ipm cutting feed rates, it delivers class-leading productivity and metal removal rates.
Automation Systems
The expandable FMS ONE Flexible Manufacturing System, FPC-1500 Flexible Pallet Container system and Multi-Level FMS System from Fastems help shops integrate cells with other plant-wide systems to evolve into a fully digital Industry 4.0 factory.
Flexible Machining Center Configures to Wide Range of Applications
The compact Hüller Hille NBH P 80 from FFG has a choice of spindles, highly precise and dynamic rotary tables, and CNC controls that allow for flexible configuration. Its chain-type magazine has 60 locations that can be manually loaded during machine operation.
High Speed Milling of Molds and Prototypes
The K199 high-speed 6-axis milling center and the C-40 vision numerical control from Fidia provide advanced CNC high speed multi-axis milling applications.
Horizontal Boring Mills Designed and Priced for Job Shops
Fives Giddings & Lewis features a new line of U.S.-built T-bed boring mills with high accuracy and cutting capacity that are sized to fit the smaller physical plant of most job shops and tool rooms.
Strategies for Tomorrow’s Smart Factories
In line with Industry 4.0, the rConnect central communications platform from GF Machining Solutions provides one more step toward the elimination of process downtime, improved machine performance and fully predictive manufacturing process and product quality.
Diverse Metal Cutting Capabilities
To meet the most demanding machining challenges, the TALENT 51 MSY CNC Turning Center from Hardinge comes standard with live tooling, subspindle and Y-axis that allows for part-complete operations.
Double Column Bridge-Type Machine
The BX40i double-column (bridge-type) CNC machine from Hurco provides exceptional accuracy and outstanding surface finish for the mold market, aerospace parts, and any high speed machining application requiring tighter tolerances.
Multi-Process Turning Center
The C1 Multi-Process Turning Center from Hwacheon Machinery uses a triple stack turret with a tool changer to handle a multitude of tools that allow for the precise machining of complex parts with drastically reduced setups.
Space-Saving, Multi-Tasking HMC Reduces Cycle Times
The Mycenter-HX250iG from Kitamura Machinery uses ultra-high speed rapids for high efficiency and the ability to drill, mill, bore, tap, thread and turn light to heavy duty materials on a single machine.
