Modernizing the Standard for Balancing Tools and Tool Systems
Did you realize that the G2.5 balance specification in ISO 1940-1 is no longer practical, technically possible or economically feasible in today’s advanced manufacturing environment? Here’s the good news: A new standard is now being developed that applies to all of today’s relevant variables for safe and productive machining. Say hello to ISO 16084.
New REGO-FIX Facility Wins Builder an ABC Award
Wurster Construction was honored for their work by the Associated Builders and Contractors of Indiana/Kentucky.
Energy Efficient Electro-Mechanical Clamping Reduces Costs
Powered by electricity instead of hydraulics, e-QUIPMENT steadyrests, clamping heads, grippers, cylinder systems (with and without through holes) and tool locking systems from Röhm only require energy during actuation and electrically manage adjustments of clamping forces and strokes during operation.

Polygonal Clamping Technology for High Speed Micro-Machining
TRIBOS-Mini and TRIBOS-RM polygonal clamping systems from SCHUNK are now available for HSK-E 20, HSK-E 25, and HSK-E 32 spindle interfaces for outstanding change and positioning accuracy, maximum precision and superior running smoothness at high speeds.
High Accuracy Internal and External Clamping Systems
The AGILIS power-operated cartridge mandrel clamping system from Röhm is for ID clamping of very small diameters for grinding, turning, milling, drilling and measuring applications, and their powered KZF-S external clamping collet chuck is for gears/workpieces that have an external plane or gear teeth geometries accessible from the outside.
Time to Reconsider Holding Taps with Collet Chucks
The next time you think about setting up a tapping operation with a collet chuck the same old way you always have, you may want to think again. There are now tap holders designed specifically to mitigate the load imposed on the tap by essentially absorbing synchronization error.
