Kennametal’s Mill 16 has a wedge-style clamping system, numbered pockets and inserts, and an open pocket design to increase chip flow in heavy roughingIron is the most abundant element on earth by mass. For over twenty-five centuries it’s been used to plow fields, build bridges, cook food, and wage war. Without iron, the Industrial Revolution would have gone nowhere, we would have no trains, automobiles, or machine tools today, and mankind would still be an agrarian society. It is quite simply the most important metal in history.There’s a newcomer to this metal family, though, one that’s making manufacturers take notice.…

The KM system from Kennametal Corp., Latrobe, PA has been a top performer in the Quick change modular tooling area for over three decades, and is known throughout the industry for its high clamping strength and consistent accuracy in both spindle-mounted and static tooling applicationsQuick-change modular tooling is a clear way to increase productivity, shorten setup time, and generally improve the bottom line for job shops and large manufacturers alike. The bending moment of KM4X is substantially higher than any tooling interface available on the market today, superior even to Kennametal’s own KM designSo when aerospace giant Boeing came to…
The firm has disrupted in-process guided assembly and verification with the introduction of a new class of LIDAR with High Speed Imaging (HSI) technology FARO has announced the launch of the FARO VectorRI Imaging Laser Radar, an ultra-high speed, large-volume, non-contact 3D measurement solution with high-resolution 3D imaging and projection guidance for manual and automated manufacturing processes. “This product introduces a new class of LIDAR with High Speed Imaging (HSI) technology. HSI combines ultra-high speed 3D scanning and ranging with high-resolution 3D imaging and projection. The solution is a groundbreaking advancement in large-volume, non-contact metrology and guidance – and promises…
High speed data capture technique cuts calibration time 85-95 percent, minimising downtime on key assets The word “laser” implies “light speed” for the casual listener, but witnessing a bi-directional laser calibration run on just one linear axis of a CNC mill conjures up a completely different image – that of something less than the speed of light. A short 1 m axis can typically take 30 to 60 minutes as the machine axis moves in 10 mm increments and stops to pause and settle before the laser interferometer takes a reading. That pause can be as long as 23 seconds…
Hypertherm’s Centricut brand is shipping new consumables designed for use with all Kjellberg PerCut 221M and PerCut 451M torches found on Kjellberg Hi Focus neo plasma cutting systems. The new Centricut brand consumables for mild steel cutting deliver the same benefits found when using Kjellberg neo consumables, at a lower cost. In addition, the Centricut brand consumables are designed with keyless nozzles for use in all Kjellberg torch models available today. Testing by Hypertherm confirms consumable life, cut speed, and cut quality are all comparable or better when using the Centricut brand. In addition, the Centricut brand consumables offer process…
A wide variety of KM tooling for multitasking machines, machining centers, and mill-turn lathes is readily available, improving productivity in any machining applicationMultitasking and mill-turn centers were once considered high-end specialty machines, found only in shops with the financial resources and production volumes needed to justify such an investment. Not anymore. Turning centers with live tool stations are becoming increasingly popular with machine shops of all sizes. These machines offer the ability to cost effectively machine parts in a single operation.With capability comes complexity, however, and the need to maximize the output of such a machine tool investment through reduced…
