Tooling & Workholding
Filter by Process Zone:
Clamp Virtually Any Workpiece Geometry
SMW Autoblok’s versatile four-in-one Centco4 2+2 self-centering and compensating chuck minimizes downtime by reducing changeouts and minimizes waste by reducing part deformation.
Five Tools From Big Kaiser
The producer of high-precision tooling solutions introduces a drill for low cutting speeds, dual-purpose milling cutter, jet-through hydraulic chuck line for 5-axis machining, and new EWA fine boring heads and EWE digital boring heads.
Round Inserts Improve Profiling With Long Overhangs In Narrow Grooves
Sandvik Coromant -RM inserts for CoroCut QD for Y-axis parting enables profiling with long overhangs in narrow grooves, external profiling, the generation of recesses and undercuts, and the potential to use nonlinear turning and grooving with a full radial bottom.
Optimized Multimaterial Drill
Sandvik Coromant’s CoroDrill 860 – with GM geometry – drills a greater range of materials and applications and lasts much longer than its predecessor, the R840. Suitable for the automotive, general machinery, and oil-and-gas industries, where hole quality is critical.
Compare Tooling Options With or Without the Internet
The Seco Assistant app by Seco Tools features a machining calculator that provides turning, milling, and hole making data, including feeds, speeds, and material-removal rates, for any brand to help you identify the appropriate tooling option and cutting strategy for a job.
Intelligent Toolholder Enables Real-Time Process Control
Equipped with a sensor, battery, and transmitting unit, Schunk’s iTENDO toolholder is a closed-loop data acquisition tool that securely gathers and shares process data that operators can immediately react to.
High-Speed Marking and Cleaning Tools
Andreas Maier AMF marking and cleaning tools are available from Platinum Tooling Technologies. Both are mounted directly onto the machine’s spindle and can function with or without rotation.
Tool-Grinding Software With Form Compensation Feature
NUM launches form compensation option for Numroto tool grinding software. Compared to most competitive products on the market, the software provides a much more direct and efficient path between tool design, manufacture, and verification. NUM’s new form compensation option is compatible with Numroto version 4.1.2 or later.
Replaceable Drill Tip Cuts Tooling Costs and Eliminates Process Steps
Kennametal’s flat-bottom FEG insert for the KenTIP FS modular drill series eliminates end milling operations and completes a task in a single operation, saving time and tooling costs. Applicable in steel, cast iron, and stainless steels.
Abrasive Belt Machine Works With Coated And Nonwoven Nylon Belts
Use Dynabrade’s Dynastraight hand-held abrasive tools for removal and finishing tasks on a wide variety of materials. A muffler reduces noise levels in the workplace.
Enhance Safety By Eliminating Workarounds
Reaching tough weldments on a homemade fixture can force welders to climb ladders, crawl around on the floor, manually move heavy parts, or engineer other risky access solutions. Bluco’s modular fixturing provides the flexibility they need to safely solve difficult welding challenges.
Lightweight but Extremely Strong T-Beams for Automotive Applications
Bilsing Automation’s lightweight but extremely strong carbon fiber (CF) T-beams for high-speed tandem presses increase productivity by enabling automotive manufacturers to handle multiple parts from a single stamping die. They adapt to any robotic application.
