Cutting tool manufacturer BIG Kaiser introduces its new Hydraulic Chuck Ultra Precision, targeting machine shops requiring high-precision milling. Distributed by Industrial Tooling Corporation in the UK, the chuck promises runout of less than 1 micron at 4XD and offers an extended lifespan compared to traditional shrink-fit holders.

Hurco has unveiled an enhanced VM30i Plus, a 3-axis VMC with a twin-screen Win Max control, a powerful 12,000 rpm spindle, and advanced software capabilities. The machine streamlines operations with features like continuous tool-material contact, real-time graphical simulations, and Tool Change Optimization, reducing tool changes and boosting run times.

To precisely grind microtools with extremely small diameters, an optimally coordinated overall cutting system is required. One quality-determining piece in the mosaic is micro-filtration of the coolant.

A challenging project with Swedish truck manufacturer Scania brought out the best in Seco’s research and development (R&D) team, who found a way to extend the life of one tool by a factor of 20 when using it to cut a new type of cast iron for their engines.

Tool supplier Big Daishowa expands its line of power chucks with the Mega 12DS, a tool designed for high-performance trochoidal milling. Featuring enhanced rigidity and high clamping force, the Mega 12DS is compatible with a variety of end mills and aims to enable stable, high-speed machining.

Module Works and Cetim have partnered to integrate Self-Driving CAM technology into Cetim's Techni Quote software, aiming to simplify and accelerate cost estimation in milling operations. The collaboration seeks to automate workflows and make estimates more accurate by utilizing toolpath data.

Software company Open Mind will be presenting the benefits of the Hypermill CAD/CAM system for users of additive manufacturing processes at Formnext exhibition from November 7th to 10th, 2023.

Cutting tool manufacturer, Lach Diamant introduced its portfolio of diamond and carbide tools at productronica in 1977. At this year's Productronica, visitors will see an updated range of tools tailored to the efficient production of printed circuit boards for the world's leading electronics manufacturers.

The aerospace company Airbus Helicopters will use 3D printers from the high-tech company Trumpf to manufacture components for its helicopters and for aircraft from the parent company Airbus.

UK cutting tool manufacturer, Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC), has announced its forthcoming exhibition at the Advanced Engineering Show at the Birmingham NEC in November. The Tamworth-based company will be showcasing its latest developments on stand S170 during the event on 1 and 2 November.
