Vitesco Technologies uses state-of-the-art green lasers from TRUMPF for energy-saving welding of copper. Due to electrification in the drive, copper welding is currently a key manufacturing process. Green laser systems are energy-efficient and also reduce manufacturing effort. Copper welding with green lasers is already being used in a current electronics series project for the BMW group.
The transformation of mobility is in full swing. However, it’s clear that motors with turbocharger will continue to be built for some time. Therefore, the machining business continues to strive for tool solutions with higher cutting values, longer tool life and thus lower costs per part. MAPAL has expanded its portfolio for turbocharger housing in order to make the entire machining process even more productive.
Tungaloy continuously expands the advantages of its AddMeisterDrill exchangeable-head drill solution into a smaller diameter range. Ten new DMC precision drill heads have been added to the line for diameters ranging from 4.0 mm (.157″) to 4.9 mm (.192″), expanding the entire range from 4.0 mm (.157″) up to 5.9 mm (.232″).
AL Geometry ISO turning insert is cost-effective, universal solution for medium to finish turning applications on aluminum and other non-ferrous materials.
The SINUMERIK Run MyRobot /Direct Control application allows machine tool users to integrate the mechanical robot model into the CNC for machine interaction and control. As a result, no additional robot controller is required.
In March of this year, BCN3D Technologies announced that its constant strive for innovation had led the 3D printing experts to its never-before-seen 3D printing technology using high viscosity resins.
Evapo-Rust from CRC Industries is a water-based rust remover that is biodegradable and non-toxic for the user and the environment. Its award-winning formula eliminates rust without having to scrub or sand the part being treated. It is economical, as the bath can be reused several times. Evapo-Rust can be used to restore metal parts and tools rapidly and efficiently in all types of industry: automotive, industry, construction, marine, metalworking, etc.
In milling applications, 90° cutters are perhaps the most common tools. These versatile tools are used for milling square shoulders, slots, face operations bound by shoulders, edges, pockets, and cavities. Face mills perform machining by ramping and turn-milling. These 90°cutters prevail in the product range of tool manufacturers that produce general-purpose mills whether indexable, solid, or brazed.
