CAD/CAM innovator Cambrio announced the release of Gibbs CAM 2023. New developments continue the focus on core capabilities, while introducing new technology in collaboration with Sandvik Coromant.

Gühring has expanded its grooving and parting-off to include a new grade with a blade width of 3 mm for parting-off stainless steel materials. The System 222 expansion adds to the existing indexable inserts for steel materials.

EDM machine tool specialist Excetek has focused its innovation and development on addressing energy efficiency demands. From its generators designed to work at peak effectiveness to the ability of the machines to operate for long periods unattended, overnight on lower tariff electricity, the machine tools provide ‘more miles per gallon’.

At AMB, Lach Diamant is amongst others presenting its Monoblock-PCD-milling cutter for HSC/HPC aluminium machining. This cutting solution features the latest direct cooling technology that ensures optimal machining of GRP, CFRP and non-ferrous metals.

Metal additive manufacturing technology company Velo 3D announced that M300 tool steel, an ultra-low carbon alloy that delivers very high strength and hardness, is qualified for use in Sapphire printers.

As the die & mould sector often involves one-offs and small series, standard tools are preferred here. In view of the almost infinite variety of geometry and design, users shy away from stocking a large and accordingly cost-intensive range of tool types. CAM programming is thus tasked with processing pending machining jobs using the stock of tools on hand. Compromises are often made at the expense of machine running times.

With the global launch of the new Addforce brand from Tungaloy, the cutting tool manufacturer has introduced its new Tungrec DX110 Series of PCD insert grades for unrivalled performance when machining aluminium alloy components.

Software provider CG Tech announced the latest release of Vericut, Version 9.3. The software features several improvements and operates independently, but also integrates with all leading CAM systems.

With a wire machine it is all about producing sharp radii and smooth surfaces, especially on the interior of ejector pin holes. For mould maker BM Injection, that is exactly what the U32j from Makino has produced right from the start due to a combination of rigid machine build, thermal stability and the Hyper-i control.

With the Adaptix Vice Jaws, Leader Chuck offers a new method of transforming the way any machinist holds and grips parts for milling. With sliding fingers, it can be adapted to any part geometry to provide the necessary clamping forces.
