78 www.CNC-West.com CNC WEST August/September 2018 IMTS 2018 Preview September 10-14 2018 Heimatec Set to Introduce New Tool Program for Automatic Lathes —Booth #432427 Heimatec announced the avail- ability of their Citizen tool program at IMTS 2018. Made especially for longi- tudinal turning lathes and optimized to the required machine parameters, users can now use the tools for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Given the many uses of turning lathes, Heimatec created a wide range of both static and driven tools. During its development, an optimal adjust- ment to the machine parameters, as well as a precise design for the ma- chine parameters was carried out. The purpose of this development was to construct a coherent and con- tinuous tool system based on the improved Heimatec technology. The result is a program of processing instru- ments with long service life and the highest processing quality. To achieve this, Heimatec relies on the superior spindle bearing technology and ground gear components. Furthermore, Hei- matec’s housings and spindles have maximum stiffness. In addition to Citizen, Heimatec continues to develop special tools and solutions, as well innovative ways to integrate the user experience. Tornos Technologies to Show Full Range of Tech- nologies —Booth #339053 This year at IMTS, visitors in Tor- nos 1,500 ft2 booth will experience a full-range of technologies from single- spindle to multi-spindle, along with its very own Industry 4.0 software, TISIS.
