Tungaloy Corporation launched the Grinding Cost Reduction Calculator to model operational savings when replacing finishing grinding stages with superabrasive insert turning.
As manufacturers look to produce increasingly complex large-diameter components in fewer set ups, the ability to combine turning and milling operations on a single platform is becoming increasingly desirable. However, conventional mill-turn approaches can present certain compromises in the production of heavy cylindrical parts. Fives High Precision Machines (Fives HPM), through its Giddings & Lewis brand, is addressing the challenge from a different direction: by adding five-axis contouring capability to a platform specifically engineered for large-part vertical turning.
Tungaloy Corporation released the BTA Direct Mount Concept Drawing System, a web application designed to accelerate specification reviews and generate 2D concept drawings for FINE BEAM and TRI-FINE deep-hole drilling tools within the digital supply chain.
MAPAL develops specialized tooling strategies to address the complex tolerances and material challenges associated with integrated forged aluminum chassis components.
Beckhoff introduces a decentralized hardware and multi-core control software ecosystem to accelerate machine commissioning in sheet metal forming applications.
Tenova and GE Vernova deliver a high-capacity Consteel electric arc furnace and direct feed system to decarbonize Nippon Steel Yawata Works operations.
Tungaloy expands its TungForce-Rec cutter line with new imperial pitch configurations to suppress vibration during deep-shoulder milling in low-rigidity setups.
3D Systems introduces a semiconductor wafer table prototype based on additive manufacturing to optimize thermal control and reduce production lead times.
