90 www.CNC-West.com CNC WEST February/March 2019 New Products TheALX 2500 gains in process reli- ability thanks to its optimum chip flow and simple chip disposal, which is at the front of the machine. Maintenance parts can also be reached quickly and simply from there. The user-friendly, ergonomic design of the ALX 2500 is continued for the controls, as well, where DMG MORI relies on the proven 12.1″ COMPACTline with MAPPS Pro for 11.8 and 19.7 inches turning length and 15″ SLIMline with MAPPS IV for the longer versions. DMG MORI offers the ALX 2500 with the optional installation of a gantry loader, which enables virtually unmanned and therefore extremely cost-effective production. Modular expansions for the automation solution, such as a measuring unit or deburring unit among others, are also available for even higher process integration. Waterjet Nozzle Enables Longer Cuts —Kennametal Kennametal reports the APX series of Roctec waterjet nozzles provide 20 percent longer operating life than the Roctec 500 series of tungsten carbide nozzles. TheAPX nozzles are designed for use in precision cutting applications where long, uninterrupted cuts or close tolerances must be maintained for long periods to maintain part integrity or minimize expensive scrap due to premature nozzle failure. The company says that the APX series was developed in response to demands for the ability to make lon- ger cuts with more flexibility using higher-pressure pumps and more ef- ficient processes on the latest waterjet machines. According to Kennametal, APX nozzles enable shops to take on more challenging, complex jobs, or run at faster production speeds or longer production periods. • OKK HMC500 WITH FANUC 31I-B • 50 HP, 15,000 RPM SPINDLE • 60 ATC, CAT 40 BIG PLUS • BUILT IN ROTARY TABLE B-AXIS • COOLANT THRU SPINDLE, 1000 PSI • RENISHAW OMP60 AND OTS TOOL SETTER • SIDE DISCHARGE CONVEYOR • TRANSFORMER CALL ADAM OR ROGER at 251.867.8477 Need Bigger Machine Low Hours Under Power
