Seco has added new features to its Jetstream Tooling solutions with new toolholders, coolant clamps and shank adapters that optimise turning operations. The ISO turning toolholders feature coolant clamps along with Seco’s JETI (Jetstream Integrated) technology, as well as the VDI machine-side shank adapters. The JETI technology keeps machines up and running simultaneously controlling chips and heat generation. While the new toolholders provide internal coolant flow, they can still be used with external coolant hoses. Seco’s internal JETI technology channels coolant directly from the machine tool into the tool holder and out through the new coolant clamps. Because the clamps…
Renishaw’s newly launched XM-600 laser measurement system offers enhanced capability to connect directly with Renishaw’s range of UCC CMM controllers. Using technology developed for the XM-60 multi-axis calibrator, this enables faster and easier error mapping, measuring all six degrees of freedom from a single set-up, in any orientation for linear axes. XM-600 communicates easily with Renishaw UCC software during the calibration routine to quickly build a complete error map of the CMM. This functionality is supported from within UCCsuite V5.4.1 and onwards, enabling the complete error map of a CMM within half a day. For more information, Website: www.renishaw.com
