Route to productivity

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.

End-to-end CAM solution

Open Mind Technologies (Hall 17, Stand 440) will showcase version 2022.1 of its hyperMILL CADCAM software, which offers more features, optimised strategies and a host of major enhancements. For instance, enhancements to the five-axis strategies in Virtual Machining provide users with better results in terms of surface quality, new options for 2D functionality and efficient innovations in electrode manufacturing that deliver more convenient and faster programming. Virtual Machining is all about generating, optimising and simulating NC code reliably through a collection of targeted solutions. It can map all process steps in CNC manufacturing for optimal process control. In addition, the modular technology supports additive machining programs.

New modular tools for reaming operations

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.

Solving every component cleaning task

Ecoclean (Hall 6, Stand 549) will showcase several new developments, including the EcoCwave for challenging aqueous cleaning tasks. Designed for immersion and spraying processes, the system has a vacuum-tight work chamber and is capable of anything from preliminary and intermediate cleaning, right up to precision cleaning. To achieve this, the all-rounder comes with two or three tanks as standard, which are arranged vertically and designed for optimal flow conditions. This prevents chips and dirt from accumulating. Each tank has a separate wash solution circuit with full-flow and bypass filtration.
