The Kaiser EWN 2-54D digital, pre- cision fine boring head for the diam- eter range of 0.078 in. to 2.125 in. supports spindle speeds up to 20,000 RPM. A single button activates the LCD with a power management sys- tem for optimized battery life, and sealed construction guarantees the lectronic components are not dam- aged due to coolant or contamina- tion, the company reports. This head is compatible with all existing Kaiser accessories, including shanks, boring bars, and insert holders. The Kaiser SW twin-cutter rough boring heads are for the diameter ange of 0.787 in. to 8.000 in. These corrosion-resistant boring heads are capable of balanced or stepped cut- ting operations without the need to change components or use mechani- cal systems to adjust insert height. The tools feature standard carbide in- serts and coolant-through direct to the cutting edge to improve chip evacua- tion and lengthen tool life. The new large-diameter 318 series (shown here) is a complete tooling system for twin-cutter rough boring, precision-finish boring, and precision OD turning operations for diameters from 7.87 in. to 24. 41 in. The system supports spindle speeds up to 6,600 SFM. According to the company, the EWN04-7 series features the world’s mallest precision-finish boring head for use on micromilling machines with high-speed spindles such as HSK-E25, E32, or E40.

The new 8065 CNC combines the
operating system aspects of the 8055
series CNC with the technology of the
CNC 8070.
The PC-based, Windows XP® 8065
CNC utilizes a simple-to-program, icon
key-based, conversational programming system. These keys are symbols
of the operation to be performed, and
the user simply chooses the operation
via the appropriate key and then fills in
the blank directly off the blueprint on
a single graphic assist screen.
This control also has the capability
to program using G-code, allowing the
operator to choose the method based
on this preference. This versatility also
allows complex, large-run production
as well as quick-setup, small-lot production.
The range of FEELER machines that
will be shown includes vertical machining centers, turning centers, bridge
mills, and boring mills.
Fanuc RoboDrill machining centers also will be featured, including
fully integrated production cells such
as the RoboDrill Med Cell, a five-axis
machining/automation center. In addition, on display will be a RoboDrill
long-bed with a pallet changer and
twin direct-drive, fourth-axis rotary
tables that shuttle in and out of the
work zone along with a RoboDrill
Methods Machine Tools Inc.—Booths S-9119
and S-9126
short-bed JobShopCell. The company will also display the RoboDrill
TrodeMaster, for machining graphite
electrodes.
FANUC wire EDMs, including a
new-generation iE line for higher accuracy, faster threading, more power,
and Ai Pulse Control II will be shown,
as will Exeron die sinker EDMs, including new exopuls+ liquid-cooled
generator technology for increased
cutting speeds and accuracy.
