While known as a specialist in tools for sliding-head lathes, Floyd Automatic Tooling will be introducing newly developed tool-clamping technologies from Schaublin on Stand 472 in Hall 20.

To cater for manufacturers of cylindrical cutting tools, Floyd Automatic will be demonstrating the Schaublin range of products, and in particular, the SRS collet-clamping head with its precision runout adjustment system that give repeatability within 2 µm. At MACH, Floyd will demonstrate the Schaublin SRS system for tool-grinding machines using W or B type draw type collets. Also on show for manufacturers in the grinding arena will be the patent-pending PR25 quick-change collet system.

Lasers continue to find their way into a growing number of industrial applications, in many instances offering an efficient and more cost-effective alternative to traditional technologies and processes, and this is certainly the case for laser cleaning, claims TLM Laser.

The company represents 4JET within the UK and will be showcasing the handheld JetLaser surface processing system. Potential applications for this technology include the cleaning of moulds, tools and fixtures, as well as paint and coating removal operations, plus pre-treatment of surfaces prior to welding, gluing or coating. TLM laser will be located on Stand 763 in Hall 6.

Mapal (Stand 330, Hall 18) will shine the spotlight on a range of newly developed drilling, reaming and tool-holding lines that will appear alongside solid-carbide and PCD cutting tools, as well as Industry 4.0 technologies.

For instance, to enhance hole-making performance for end users, Mapal has introduced its Drill-Ream product line. The underlying philosophy of Drill-Ream is to combine individual work steps to improve precision and consistency, reduce set-ups, and cut machining times. For machining bores on a range of materials that vary from cast iron through to aluminium, Drill-Ream incorporates a pyramid tip. The tool combines pilot drilling, drilling and subsequent bore reaming in a single pass.
