In addition to mobile measuring systems such as the Surfcom Touch 50 and Handysurf+, technical staff from Accretech SBS (Hall 19, Stand 514) will be demonstrating the recently launched NEX series of roundness, form and surface roughness measuring instruments. For instance, the new Rondcom NEX series is said to offer the best concentricity and straightness precision levels in its class: (0.02+3.2H/10000) µm and 0.15 µm (Z300) respectively. These figures are made possible by the use of air-bearing rotary tables and extremely high rotational accuracy.

With its four competence brands of Ceratizit, WNT, Komet and Klenk, there is never a shortage of new developments from Ceratizit UK & Ireland (Hall 18, Stand 210). For instance, if turning inserts can be described as intelligent then the new CTCP115 CTCP125-P and CTCP115-P grades for the machining of ISO-P grade steel are certainly that, while Silverline is a range of solid-carbide end mills in a variety of styles, including Torus-style cutters. Ceratizit will also present the latest threading and drilling innovations, alongside new clamping products like the SBF-3 stationary three-jaw chuck.

On Stand 555 in Hall 20, Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) will introduce new technology from its line-up, complemented by next-generation offerings from Widia, Big Kaiser, Kemmler and Bass. For instance, from its indexable milling range, ITC will showcase the new Widia M1600 face mill series for roughing and semi-finishing operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron and nodular iron materials. With a smart insert design, ITC says that the M1600 performs exceptionally well under various machining conditions, including low-power machines, unstable set ups, long overhangs and weak fixture conditions. The 16-edged, precision-ground insert with positive geometry enables low cutting forces and low power consumption, resulting in higher tool life and more economic cost per edge.

Horn (Hall 20, Stand 340) will launch new tools for reaming. Offering precision, flexibility and easy handling, DR-Large series reamers have exchangeable cutter heads with multiple solid-carbide inserts. The interface of the insert seats offers precise interchangeability to within a few microns and tool setting is unnecessary when exchanging the cutter head. The versatile, interchangeable reaming system is suitable for bore diameters from 140 to 200.2 mm. Six cutter heads cover the range of diameters in 10 mm increments, with two sizes of head fitting on each size of reamer shank.
