VMCS WITH HIGHLY INTUITIVE CONTROL
Vertical machining center producer MAG Fadal (Chatsworth, CA) announced that their FX series of machines will be available with the new Infimatic Freedom NC200?, a digital control designed specifically for metal-cutting machine tool applications, with three highly-intuitive navigation choices. The control is compatible with standard G-codes as well as part programs that have been created for Fadal CNC controls.
NEW INNOVATIVE DIESINKING EDM
The newest innovation in GF AgieCharmilles’ (Lincolnshire, IL) extensive range of diesinking EDM machines is the FORM 20/30, a cost-effective solution that combines ease of use with exceptional performance. Offering consistent reliability, the FORM 20/30 ensures high rigidity, good interference and reduced setup times.
TURNING AND MILLING CENTERS REDEFINE LOWER PRICE SEGMENT
DMG has redefined its range of CNC-controlled turning and milling centres in the lower price segment without compromising high-tech standards. The universal CTX 310 ECO and CTX 510 ECO lathes and the DMC 635 V ECO and DMC 1035 V ECO vertical centers are smoothing the way into the new DMG ECO world, and with market prices of less than ?50,000 they attract a completely new customer segment.
PRECISION MOLD & DIE, AUTOMOTIVE, AEROSPACE, MEDICAL AND GENERAL APPLICATIONS
Bridgeport (Elmira, NY), a member of The Hardinge Group, is expanding its spectrum of machining centers by introducing the Bridgeport-designed and -built GX 600, GX 800 and GX 1000 VMCs. Positioned in the center of the company’s machining center portfolio (above the XV-Series and below the XR-Series), these Performance-focused machines offer mold and die manufacturers, as well as precision engineers in the automotive, aerospace, medical and general engineering sectors optimum capability and functionality in a compact design.
MANUAL BEVEL HEAD INCREASES WATERJET FLEXIBILITY
Bystronic Inc. (Hauppauge, NY) offers its Manual Bevel Angle cutting head option for Byjet waterjet cutting systems that cuts up to a 45 deg angle and can be used for weld preparation or the cutting of holes that must be at an angle to the plate.
LARGE FOOTPRINT WATERJET SERVES THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
OMAX (Kent, WA) presents the 55100 JetMachining® Center, one of three large-footprint JetMachining centers produced by OMAX. Designed to machine large parts, the 55100 accommodates sheets of material up to 5 ft x 10 ft and can cut complex flat parts from a wide variety of materials used for components for the oil and gas industry.
PRECISION HEAVY METAL CNC MACHINING CENTERS
The line of “Heavy Metal” CNC machining centers from Mitsui Seiki (Franklin Lakes, NJ) are the result of decades of experience and R&D in titanium and nickel alloy airframe and aerospace engine component manufacturing.
ADVANCED HYBRID LASER MACHINES
HV machines from Mitsubishi Laser (Wood Dale, IL) make up the advanced hybrid series with an open table that provides excellent operability and easy maintenance.
HIGH OUTPUT 5-AXIS PROFILER FOR ALUMINUM AEROSPACE COMPONENTS
MAG Cincinnati clears the table and collects all the chips in high-value aluminum machining with the HyperMach H4000, the industry’s highest output 5-axis horizontal machining center for clean, contained cutting of parts up to 2 m x 4 m.
TURNING CENTERS OFFER SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
Hardinge Inc. (Elmira, NY) expanded its line of turning centers with the GS 150, GS 200, GS 200/66 and GS 250 machines.
LARGE, HEAVY WORKPIECE MACHINING AT HIGH CUTTING RATES
The VMC 6535-40T from MAG Fadal (Chatsworth, CA) is a robust, economical vertical machining center with a work table size of 75 in (1,905 mm) x 35 in (889 mm) that provides broad flexibility in terms of workpiece size and multiple-part setups. The machine delivers high material removal rates and reduced part cycle times while holding ±.0002 in axis positioning accuracy.
FAST WORK OF THICK AND THIN MATERIALS
Bringing highest laser cutting productivity to a vast range of flat stock applications, the Cincinnati CL-850 laser cutting center makes fast work of thick and thin material with a powerful 5,000 W GE Fanuc laser resonator, advanced cutting head, innovative optics and third-generation linear-motor-drive system.
