Amongst many news Gühring presents a world Premiere at Prodex 2012 in Basel (halle 1.1 / booth L04): its new RT 100 P pilot drill. Its central building gives it maximum stability for the most delicate drilling without any difficulty. Thanks to the optimization of its geometry with a 180° tip angle and a central tip at 170°, one gets more stable drilling. With the RT100 P it is not needed to mill any guiding position. Assets Universal machining of for all kind of materials, well suited (…)

Free from Sandvik Coromant, the new Drilling App for iPhones is designed to offer a quick and easy way for machine shops to calculate cycle times and costs for all drilling and tapping operations. Available now for iPhones from App Store With efficiency more important than ever in fast moving machine shop environments, there is now a virtually instant method of discovering how long drilling cycles will take, and how much they will cost. Of benefit to engineers, programmers and machinists (…)

CoroDrill 460-XM is a multi-application, high-performance drill that can be used across a wide range of materials. This drill provides high capacity utilization, flexibility and versatility. With one drill for all materials, stock holding can be reduced and greater machine flexibility is offered leading to reduced set-up time. Sandvik Coromant introduces the new CoroDrill 460-XM, a new multi-application, high performance drill for use across a wide range of materials. The CoroDrill 460-XM (…)

In these ever changing times, a single solution is not always sufficient and engineers are repeatedly looking at different ways to improve products. Utilising a synergy of different coating technologies and a matching carbide substrate was the answer when developing the latest Mitsubishi high performance P20 turning grade, MC6025. . “2 in 1 technology” combines 2 types of CVD coatings that can deliver a machining performance to fully satisfy modern production requirements. The ultra (…)

Materials for components are constantly becoming harder, more wear resistant, more high-temperature resistant and thus more demanding during machining. The use of modern, highly-hard cutting grades is booming as these materials convince through substantial mechanical and thermal properties. At the occasion of the AMB 2012 in Stuttgart the Swedish tool manufacturer Seco Tools presented his comprehensive programme of highly wear-resistant inserts for hard turning. Numerous materials – (…)

Horn presents tools for pre-drilling, finish boring, axial reduction and reaming pre-machining. The machining benefits of the Supermini® tools when boring out holes measuring 0.2 mm and greater can now also be enjoyed using the DB05 digital fine-boring head. DB05 fine-boring head with digital display of the adjustment travel. Holes measuring 0.2 to 14 mm in diameter can be finish-bored in conjunction with the type 105 and 110 Supermini® toolholders and inserts. Use of carbide or steel (…)

Micro technology is the name of the new area for which the Röhm experts – for the first time – offer clamping solutions for small and smallest workpieces. Power operated chuck KFG 90/8 with 8 jaws for even force distribution and deformation free centric clamping. By using intelligent clamping technology for the watch, jewellery and medical industry, the company specializes in an area where delicate solutions are required, which do not deform the workpiece. Röhm shows innovative technology (…)

Noise is vibration and vibrations can be detrimental to machining. Although vibrations are part of the machining process, it is when vibrations reach unsatisfactory levels that they become a problem. Milling, as an intermittent cutting process, is especially prone to vibrations and when milling is performed with cutters at a long overhang, productivity is all too often compromised. This does not have to be the case using a new-generation of dampened tool-adaptors dedicated to specific (…)

The AMCC-freezing clamping technology is a patented, high-performance system that allows clamping without deformation and clamping of smallest workpieces simply using ice! To be discovered at the AMB that starts tomorrow. The freezing technology is very easy, connect the plate to the air supply, spray water, place the parts and freeze! Originally designed to meet the needs of space industry workshops, icing plates have since become a necessity in all fields involving the manufacture of (…)

TDM Systems GmbH has now further underpinned its expertise in tool data management through its new CI (Corporate Identity) which speaks volumes at a glance. After 10 years, the Tübingen-based software and IT service experts have introduced a new innovative and dynamic image. Without real tool data, production simulation is not reliable: TDM has been supporting NC programming and CAD/CAM simulation with powerful software tools for many years now. The screenshot shows a 3D turning tool in (…)
