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 (…)

Dixi polytool recently presented its new thread whirler developed to solve some troubles in the aerospace industry. The new Drilling thread whirler, Dixi 1740, Ø M3 and M2, Z = 2 The common machining method implied a few operations, namely spot drilling, drilling before threading, threading and finally drilling again to remove any possible burr. This is quite a lot of operations and the result was not perfect. Problem solving tool Results of the standard machining showed some burrs and (…)

The proven slot-type chuck with integrated Venturi nozzle together with a robust vacuum pump is now available as an extensive starter set. There are two versions available. The low-cost starter version already has low-maintenance Venturi technology integrated to generate vacuum and can be used immediately. The dbA noise level is relatively low with 57. The set with a powerful vacuum pump offers greater possibilities. Advantages of the slim slot-type: very flat, large range of uses (…)

Micromachining is in a class of its own. Manufacturers and suppliers in this rapidly-growing sector work hard in order to gain the trust of the industry and research institutes. One company that has earned this trust is W-Präzisionstechnik from Eichendorf/Perbing in Bavaria, Germany. Top quality micromachining. A 50 µm drill is barely visible to the naked eye. Company owner Helmut Wandinger and his team are not only the first stop for micromachining, but also specialist for tricky (…)

With the new Ratio drill type RT 100 Guhring is presenting a newly developed solid carbide drill at AMB 2012 in Stuttgart that sets new standards regarding process reliability and performance especially for the machining of difficult-to-machine materials. The new RT 100 HF is optimally suited for the machining of high-tensile materials and nickel-based super-alloys as for example Inconel 718. With its robust cutting edge geometry it is optimised for the typical wear types of high-tensile (…)

One year ago, Mikron Tool presented the new development of flexible solid carbide drills and earned respect from the producers of deep hole drills, because these drills, starting at 0.1 mm diameter, achieved drilling depths up to 30 x D. Today, the Swiss tool producer takes another step forward and expands their drilling program of CrazyDrill Flex. We are now talking about drilling depths up to 50 x D with integrated cooling which is indispensable for these extreme drilling depths. Also new (…)

To strengthen its presence on the market, Weiss AG takes an additional step by investing in the latest laser technology which allows to machine perfectly not only PCD diamond cutting tools but also those in CVD. Thanks to this new technology, cutting edges impossible to realise before are now within reach. It is conceivable to cut almost all imaginable geometries, whether it be sharp or, rounded edges, positive or negative, with or without 3D chip breaker for an optimal chip evacuation. CVD (…)
