Mitutoyo America Corporation, a leading manufacturer of precision metrology instruments and solutions, is proud to announce new versions of the IDC, IDF and IDS series of digimatic indicators and products built around these indicators such as depth and thickness gages. 

With SINUMERIK ONE, the first digital native CNC, Siemens is driving forward digital transformation in the machine tool industry. The new controller works with software to create the machine controller and the associated digital twin from one engineering system and thus contributes to the seamless integration of hardware and software. 

Exact Metrology: A Division of In-Place Machining Company and a comprehensive 3D metrology service provider and hardware sales company, has increased the capability of their Artec 3D handheld scanners with the new HD mode. 

INDEX has announced the launch of its new CenterMaster accessory. As part of the company’s sustained investment in R&D focused on streamlining the setup and changeover process for CNC multi-spindle lathes, CenterMaster reduces the time needed to align a drill by up to 90%.

As a newly developed custom solution, a combination tool for heavy goods vehicle (HGV) freeze plug/water plug boring from CERATIZIT dramatically reduces cost and increases performance when producing the holes in cylinder blocks and heads. Such results are possible because the tool roughs, chamfers and reams/fine finishes holes in a single operation – even in grey cast iron with EN-GJV450 vermicular graphite.

JTEKT Toyoda Americas Corporation has recently introduced its FH5000 series of three high-speed horizontal machining centers (HMC), including the FH5000S HMC with 800X800X880 mm (x, y, z) strokes, 900mm workpiece diameter, and 1100mm workpiece height capacity. The FH5000 series machines include a 500mm table capable of handling 1000 kg loads. 

Nidec Machine Tool Corporation announced today that it has launched Robot Camera SPEED, visual inspection equipment for cutting tools (hobbing machines) to process gears and other components, and Robot Camera MAX, visual inspection equipment for broaching machines. 

For maximum productivity and machining application versatility, CERATIZIT offers a wide range of tooling systems within its expansive Indexable Milling line of products that includes the company’s new MaxiMill 491. With eight usable cutting edges per newly expanded 9-mm insert size, a precise 90°profile and a durable nickel-coated tool body, the MaxiMill 491 system is extremely well suited for all shoulder and full-slot milling applications.

Verisurf Software, Inc. is featuring a turn-key metrology solution designed for performance engine builders at PRI (Performance Racing Industry) Show, booth #5249 (Mastercam booth), December 8–10, Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis, Indiana. The solution includes 3D measurement software, hardware, training, and support for reverse engineering, designing, building, tuning, and verifying high-performance engines and components. Engine builders can use the solution to replicate and check engine heads, blocks, pistons, crankshafts, intake and exhaust ports, camshafts, conrods, rocker stands, and more. 

A recently developed dual-purpose CNC rotor milling machine from PTG Holroyd aims to increase the manufacturing capabilities of a leading German maker of compressed air, gas and vacuum technologies. In doing so, it will equip the German manufacturer with exceptional levels of speed, flexibility and efficiency.
