With the new Surfacer SRP probe, LK Metrology integrates surface roughness measurement directly into CMM inspection cycles. The plug-and-play solution eliminates separate testing steps, saving time and cost while ensuring greater accuracy and efficiency in quality control.

LK Metrology has unveiled the Surfacer SRP, a high-precision surface roughness probe that integrates seamlessly into any CMM cycle. Designed to eliminate the need for separate roughness checks, the plug-and-play sensor enables comprehensive, automated inspection in a single setup.

Tool manufacturer Tungaloy shows how you can get the most out of high-performance cutting (HPC) without investing in a new machining centre or relocating abroad.

EDM specialist Sodick will be presenting a selection of EDM machines at this year’s Moulding Expo in Stuttgart, including the latest ALC600P I-Groove+ with 8-axis simultaneous control and the AL60G+ series with Erowa automation.

Paul Horn expands its Mini tool range for face grooving up to 10 mm depth, compatible with existing axial holders. The system offers precision, versatility, and reliability for grooving and milling applications.

The precision tool manufacturer Simtek is venturing into the field of hard metal with the laser. Laser-cut chip shape geometries are a minor revolution for the production of tools for metal cutting. What previously seemed impossible has now been proven in numerous projects. An interview with the board and experienced tool developer Norbert Seifermann.

Horn's M475 grooving and cut-off milling system now offers even more precision with new, smaller inserts available in 3 and 4 mm widths. Designed for optimal performance with a new carbide grade and advanced geometry, these tools deliver superior durability and efficiency, especially in high-speed steel machining.

The new Turbo 12 and 18 chip splitter milling inserts from Seco enhance milling process stability by reducing chatter, vibration, and cutting forces. Designed with grooves to minimize chip size, these inserts improve chip flow and allow for effective deep-pocket machining without compromising cutting data.

Tungaloy-NTK UK is giving the small turned parts industry a “shot-in-the-arm” with a multitude of offers on its latest range of advanced turning technologies. As part of its 2024 promotional offering, the company has a number of special offers that range across the company’s expansive range of small-part turning, high-feed milling and indexable drilling lines.

After five years of intensive research and development, Simtek Präzisionswerkzeuge now offers high-precision turning tools with 3D laser-cut chip forming geometries in its standard range. While these tools were previously only available on individual customer request, they are now also available as standard tools in the new main catalogue.
