Booth #1921 Shrinking Technology Balancing Technology www.haimer-usa.com Measuring and Presetting Technology Imperial and Metric High- Quality Metrology Fix- tures Announced —Renishaw Renishaw, a precision engineering and manufacturing technologies com- pany, is introducing a ¼ 20 imperial thread size to its existing metrology fixtures product range. Fixturing components are currently available in M4, M6 and M8 thread sizes. The Renishaw ¼ 20 fixturing range will be available for purchase early in 2019. Its addition means a complete fixturing solution can now be created for any part regardless of its size, shape or material. A range of modular and custom fixturing and software is available for use with co-ordinate measuring ma- chines (CMMs), Renishaw Equator™ gauges and vision systems. Using high quality metrology fixtures can improve throughput, reproducibility and accu- racy of inspection processes with quick repeatable fixturing set-ups. Micro End Mill Tools Offer Longer Reach —Kyocera SGS Kyocera SGS Precision Tools has expanded the micro end mill line of tools to include 594 items. These line items include tools with two, three and four flutes, and will include long-reach dimensions. The two-flute design, because of its wide spacing, is ideal for long-reach applications in softer-to-mill materials like plastics. These two-flute tools have a reach dimension ranging to 12×D. The three-flute design, because of its combination of flute space, strong core and balance, is said to be ideal for long- reach roughing applications. The reach dimension on the three- flute tools ranges to 25×D. The four- flute end mill is designed with a heavier core for maximum rigidity, which makes it an ideal tool for long-reach finishing applications, according to the company. The reach dimension on the four-flute design ranges to 12×D.
