PCD Aerospace Tools PCD diamond tools have been proven to reduce costs, setup times and changeovers while maintaining tight tolerances required in today’s manufacturing aerospace operations. The variety of PCD tools available include new cross-center
jack. The latter is designed to allow a person to move the compact 2.5 × 4' (0.76 ×1.2-m) footprint TRAK 2OP to any desired shop location within minutes to improve workfl ow.” Southwestern Industries Inc. Ph: 310-608-4422 Web site:

CFRP Machining Tools
Solid carbide OptiMill-Thermoplastic milling cutters feature sharp cutting edges for reliable machining of thermoplastics. The OptiMill-Thermoplastic FR for machining special fi ber- reinforced carbon thermoplastics features diamond coating and cuts cleanly without burr formation. The OptiMill-Com- posite-UD is designed for milling CFRP materials that are
tip drills, or helical diamond veined end mills, or the more traditional PCD-tipped round tools. PCD tools are designed to exceed expectations and requirements in the most critical aerospace machining applications. West Ohio Tool Ph: 937-842-6688 Web site:

Portable Second Op Machining TRAK 2OP portable CNC is designed to streamline sec- ond operation machining by bringing an additional spindle quickly and easily to an operator idled by the cycle time of his primary machine. TRAK 2OP utilizes proven ProtoTRAK CNC technology with easy to learn and use conversational language program- ming. Programs can be generated either at the machine or remotely to perform tasks including drilling, tapping, countersinking, face milling, and the ma- chining of profi les, pockets, and bolt hole patterns. Other TRAK 2OP standard features include an eight-station tool changer that eliminates the need for manual tool changes, “built-in” Jergens ball locks that facili- tate quick change- overs, and a pallet
either very thin or diffi cult-to-machine. Cutting edge geometry achieves simultaneous pulling and pushing cut with com- pression effect in the part, preventing delaminations and fi ber projections. For machining honeycomb structures that are used for support and reinforcement between the inner and outer skin of aircraft or in the vanes of wind energy convert- ers, the OptiMill-Honeycomb is designed with an eight- bladed solid-carbide end milling cutter with extremely sharp cutting edges, a helix angle of 15° and very fi ne serration.
