One Clamping Module For Virtually All Workpieces
The Kontec KSC from Schunk is a multi-functional manual clamping system that can be adjusted for conventional clamping; five-sided machining with low clamping depths; molded parts; plates; or workpieces with saw-cut surfaces. Its design facilitates the assembly of high supporting jaws for five-axis machining.
Read MoreChuck For Machining Cast Or Hardened Parts
Hainbuch’s TOPlus chuck for machining cast or hardened parts is equipped with a hexagonal core made of cast resin. This makes the chuck lighter than steel chucks, resulting in lower inertia during high spindle acceleration.
Read MoreExpanding Bush Design Workholding System
Emuge’s System SG expanding bush design workholding solution is suited for hobbing, shaping and shaving operations for gear production, as well as milling and inspection operations. The design is based on a series of short tapers that expand or contract when acted upon by an axial force.
Read MoreUrethane Grippers Provide Secure Holding, Surface Protection
Available from Fixtureworks, Fairlane Products’ Sof-Top urethane grippers combine secure workholding with protection for finished surfaces in assembly, machining, inspection or repair operations. The “bubbled” texture of the urethane top offers firm holding and allows air to escape so no suction is created between the contact surface and the top of the rest pad as it is compressed.
Read MoreSelf-Centering Vise
Hirschmann Engineering’s self-centering vise is designed for use in the System 9000 zero point reference system. This precision, self-centering vise provides a universal method of quickly clamping different types of workpieces for five-sided machining, the company says.
Read MoreHigh Speed Balancing Chuck
Northfield Precision Instrument’s high speed balancing chuck locates a universal joint using built-in V-blocks and two diaphragm jaws. The jaws and blocks center the workpiece while two arms slide down to face clamp.
Read MoreExpanded End Mill Line
Primary Cutter’s expanded Supermill-XP end mill line is available in chamfer, corner- radius and sharp-corner styles, as well as in regular, stub, long and extra-long lengths. The variable-pitch end mills feature a four-flute design and a 45-degree helix angle.
Read MoreVariable-Design End Mills
OSG’s Exocarb Aero UVX variable index and variable helix end mills couple positive edge geometry with a variable helix design. The end mills can achieve more consistent, chatter-free milling versus common variable-design end mills, the company says.
Read MoreCutters Compress To Effectively Machine Composites
The combined up-cut and down-cut spiral flutes on these cutters compress layered composites to prevent delamination during machining.
Read MoreDrill Sharpener Helps Shop Hone Competitive Edge
Bringing drill sharpening operations in-house saved both time and money at this Chicago-based manufacturer. However, the sharpener itself, Darex’s XPS-16, provided additional benefits—with high accuracy and consistent results, the machine helped the company maintain precision and quality.
