Cutting tool specialist Sandvik Coromant is expanding its line of CoroMill Dura versatile solid-end mills with aluminum-specific tools for flexible aluminum roughing with finishing capabilities.
TN Vaerktoejsslibning, Denmark’s second-largest precision tooling company, is deploying Numroto, the programming system for tool grinding from NUM across its entire production floor. The company cites highly successful long-term experience of the software, together with excellent technical support from NUM, as the key reasons for choosing to standardize on Numroto.
Serial production of large gears requires a high level of quality, excellence, and continuity in production. Emphasis is placed on maximum synergy between the grinding machine, the grinding process, and the grinding wheel. After several successful trials on various Klingelnberg Höfler Rapid grinding machines carried out by Krebs & Riedel with customers in their production facilities, Krebs & Riedel has received several large orders for grinding large gears from abroad and has introduced the new premium grinding wheels with high process reliability.
A new range of UKAS-certified length and form gages, complete with holding fixture, has been introduced by coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer LK Metrology, allowing the inspection accuracy of any 3D measuring platform to be verified. The user can have greater confidence in the results of an inspection, whether for metrology or reverse engineering, long after the typical annual calibration of the measuring machine has been carried out.
