Toolmakers these days focus their cutting tool development efforts on finding a balance between tool properties that will provide optimum performance in specific workpiece materials. A hard coating deposited on the surface of the tool substrate, which reinforces hot hardness improves tool life in high-temperature environments. Find out how cutting tool makers are working to engineer coatings that are thin but provide a good barrier against heat in the MATERIAL FOCUS section of this month’s issue.
A customer considering whether to replace a machine because it no longer produces the necessary quantities has two options: they can either procure a new machine, which will be expensive and take a long time to arrive, or they can choose a VDA-compliant retrofitted machine. MAG shares its expertise in retrofitting in the METAL CUTTING EQUIPMENT.
Metal finishing with hand tools is a dirty and difficult job that carries known repetitive stress injury risk. It is also a process that has proven extremely difficult to automate. The METAL FORMING & FABRICATING features a new robotic system, called the Touch Robot that is able to perform precision grinding and machining to polish, deburr, and deflash cast and forged parts.
On top of all that, there is the usual heady mix of columns, product highlights, tradeshow updates, and much more including all the news from the Middle East and Africa.
