Schunk Introduces EGH 80 at ATX West Automation Show
The company adds to its award-winning Co-act (collaborative actuator) gripper line with the EGH, which provides a stroke length of 3.15 in (80 mm) and 100 newtons of clamping force. The EGH 80 is designed for Universal Robots products, but Schunk will expand to include other robot manufacturers.
Cost-Effective Solid Carbide Milling Cutters
Walter USA products come in three designations: Perform indicates
an economical solution, Advance tools balance price and performance, Supreme indicates the highest level of technology and performance available. The MC232 Perform cutter’s corner radius improves approaches, tool life, and edge stability.
Versatile 5-Flute End Mill
The ST540 5-flute solid carbide end mill is the latest addition to Seco Tools’ expanded Niagara Cutter Stabilizer product family. Together, they comprise an all-in-one solution for roughing and finishing that’s equally effective with all material types, from steel to cast iron and stainless steels to superalloys.
Adjustable-Center 5-Axis Vise
Schunk’s Kontec KSX-C power-assisted vise with continuously variable force adjustment ensures a secure hold event with minimal clamping surfaces. Fully encased spindle, drawbar extensions, and large jaw range enable the vise to adapt quickly and easily to any new requirement.
Selecting the Right Lead Angle and Insert for Boring Tools
The rules for twin-bore roughing and single-point fine boring are similar – but not the same. Lead angles close to 90 degrees more effectively combat potentially damaging chatter and vibration because they apply the least amount of radial pressure against the tool.
Intelligent Toolholder Controls the Cutting Process in Real-Time
The smart iTENDO hydraulic expansion toolholder from SCHUNK enables real-time process monitoring and control of geometry and performance data directly in the tool.
Toolholder Optimizes Chip Removal
The TENDO Slim 4ax cool-flow toolholder from SCHUNK allows for highly effective cooling via tool mountings when machining of steel, aluminum, and plastic.
Improved Online Access to 2D and 3D Tooling Data
BIG KAISER redesigns the manuals, DXF and STEP (STP) Search models on their website.
Next Steps in Shrink Fit Systems
The Power Clamp Comfort i4.0 shrink fit system from Haimer moves digital connectivity and the communication of tools and machines to new levels for the new world of manufacturing.
Emuge Expands Manufacturing Facility
They add more manufacturing and tool reconditioning space, a new PVD coating center and a larger Technology and Training Center.
BIG KAISER Moves Production of Smart Damper to U.S.
They can now provide more variation and faster delivery of special lengths for specific applications.
Approach Changeover from a Different Angle
This flexible tool adapter system for right-angle heads can slash changeover time on almost any lathe or mill using a single live tool – without having to commit to a quick-change system on the initial purchase – and significantly reduce inventory for the busy shop.
