points per inch. The rotary axis is capable of continuous rotary motion which produces six-axis cutting abilities that can create accurate, complex 3D parts from existing CAD or DXF files. OMAX Corp.
USC series oilfield tube sleeve machining centers feature rigid machine construction and a machine base that is made out of Mineralit polymer granite. External as well as all internal ma-
chining operations can be carried out on a single machine. The USC is well-suited for the complete machining of all common threads to API and GOST standards, as well as all propri- etary tube threads. Direct drive consists of a highly dynamic, frequency-controlled, maintenance-free AC asynchronous spindle motor. Tubes are safely clamped in pneumatically, hy- draulically or mechanically operated front and rear-end chucks. Workholding and centering equipment are custom designed with automation that can load and unload components in 12 to 20 seconds depending on pipe size and thread type. EMAG LLC
• Aluminum, Steel, or Cast Iron - diameter size range from 6-inch to 36-inch
• Jaw heights range: 2-inch, 4-inch, and 6-inch • Close tolerances and concentricity easily maintained. • Allows for complete gripping of the work piece • Special oversized jaws available • Excellent for gripping thin-walled parts without distortion
• Machine and tool life extended due to lighter weight jaws, reducing mechanical stress.

Accurate, Fast Fixturing The Carr Lock system allows accurate locating and clamping at the same time with just the twist of a hex wrench for mounting quick-change tooling on a subplate. The new system, which consists of a clamp, a liner bushing and a receiver bushing, offers complete interchangeability with all components of
the similar mounting system previously offered, but at a lower price. The system can be ordered alone or in kits combined with mounting plates. Carr Lane Manufacturing Ph: 314-647-6200 Web site: www.carrlane.com
Energy Industry Tooling Tooling solutions for applications range from drill pipes, bits and couplings to valves, pumps and even wellhead and subsea equipment. Threading inserts ensure clean and precise threads for superior connecting and sealing of oil and gas components, reducing the number of required passes to shorten cycle time by as much as 75%. Advances in hole- making operations are designed for tough-to-machine component materials and include Crownloc and Perfomax drills, along with Bifix, Precifix and EPB tool lines for reaming and boring operations. Cutters are available for helix interpolation; steep ramping; face, square-shoulder and plunge milling; and high-speed machining for milling. Seco Tools
