8 benefits of standardized robots

Standardized robotic systems allow shop owners to sleep peacefully, knowing they have invested in a system specifically designed for CNC machining. Read more
Advances aid shift to EVs

Material choice and innovations in metal cutting are supporting the transition to more environmentally friendly vehicles. Read more
Shop reduces cost of titanium parts

Savvy machine shops are adding advanced forging equipment to create precision titanium components at a lower cost, in volume. Read more
Multipurpose mills
General-purpose endmills often fit the bill at high-mix, low-volume shops. As the name suggests, these endmills are not designed for a specific cutting application or material. Instead, they are tools that can be used for most standard machining jobs.

High cutting pressure and tool deflection are the greatest challenges when it comes to thread
milling. Look to Walter for the best solutions and greatest results.
The Smart Damper-equipped, arbor-style face mill holders enable quiet, vibration-free milling,
even in long-projection assemblies. The holder supports face mills with diameters of 3", 4",
80mm or 100mm with an arbor pilot diameter of 1" or 27mm. Model SDF57 assembly has an
OD of 2.83" and allows 3" face mills to access up to 19.68" of reach, the longest tool assembly
in the industry using standard components.
Cutting Tool Engineering's July 2022 issue will focus on how shops can meet demand for stringent boring operations. New digital solutions in boring and machine tool systems are set to transform industrial production. To supplement this report online, CTE will address some of these solutions during its Ask The Experts webinar scheduled for 10 a.m. (CDT) July 20.
Extra-fine cutting edge offers high-precision machining for a wide range of internal applications. New sleeve with 4 coolant holes provides high chip evacuation.

Renishaw

Provides a thickness measurement range of 1 mm to 20 mm with an accuracy of better than 10 microns.

FANUC America

Can extend its arm upright or rotate it backwards, which is not possible for typical heavy-payload robots.

Heidenhain

For 3-D measurement, the feed rate/probing speed of 1 m/min is four times faster than other commercially available products.
