With Walter GPS, manufacturers can now generate application-specific tool solutions. A new function also allows engineers to order Walter Xpress drilling and reaming tools directly. All the functions the App already offers for standard drills are now also available for special tools for the first time.

The latest edition of Industrial Tooling Corporation’s (ITC) annual product catalogue has now been published and is available to view online. Now reaching its seventeenth edition, the new catalogue is crammed with new product enhancements and developments from the cutting tool manufacturer.

Maximum productivity and sustainability, with flexible machine solutions for many different production tasks and sectors — this is how the Emag Group summarizes its focus for this year’s presence at the AMB from September 13 to 17 in Stuttgart.

Cutting tools are the be-all and end-all of tool and mould making. Since efficiency and quality requirements in this industry are constantly increasing, suppliers respond with tools that are highly specialised to meet the demands of diverse customer applications.

Precision tools are a speciality of the European market. Their quality allows manufacturers around the world to produce high-technology parts and components for sophisticated applications. The innovative spirit of the industry is the trump card for the emerging recovery after the Corona crisis. We present some of the highlights recently launched by international toolmakers.

At Mach 2022, Guhring demonstrated a complete range of products that included threading, turning, drilling and milling tools — many of which received their UK exhibition premiere at the show. The performance of the tools was demonstrated ‘live’ on a Grob 5-axis machining centre.

As simple and intuitive as possible, but with many machining functions and efficient production: This is what software systems for machine programming are supposed to achieve. Here is an (incomplete) overview of current CNC and CAM software.

Mapal has published new catalogues for the bore machining, milling and clamping areas. The product ranges’ assortments have been comprehensively revised and are now even more adapted to customer needs.

UK — At Mach 2022, Horn will present a modular system for reaming large diameter holes, an extended range of products for circular interpolation milling of holes down to 8 mm diameter, two new, high-performance coatings as well as an expanded range of solid carbide end mills.

What happens when three specialists go wild in their field of expertise can be seen on a workpiece for tool and mould making. A project developed for an online seminar demonstrates the know-how and the successful cooperation. The clamping specialist Schunk, the programming professionals from Open Mind and the tool experts from Horn were on board. New approaches met proven technologies.
