‘Workpiece’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Taegutec replaces CT5000 grade with Cermet CT7000 from
TaeguTec UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Taegutec has brought out the Cermet CT7000 grade for steel-machining applications at high cutting speeds. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Heidenhain touch probe inspects tools from
Heidenhain (GB): "The TT 449 touch probe from Heidenhain (GB) provides flexibility of tool inspection in conjunction with CNC system measuring cycles on a range of machine tools using Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC systems. ".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Schunk Intec
- take a look at Schunk launches five-axis work-holding systems
which says: "Schunk Intec has developed a range of five-axis work-holding solutions that aim to improve machining efficiency and further enhance the capabilities of customers' machine tools.".
Take a look also at the news release from ESAB, FSW Rosio automates 3D friction-stir welding,
as well as Schaeffler launches HLE hydrostatic linear guides from Schaeffler (UK),
and Schunk launches wedge clamping element from Schunk Intec.
