Compact Heavy-Duty Milling Machine The new FZ40 compact milling machine was designed for customers that do heavy-duty cutting such as toolmaking. Its primary applications are effi cient machining of steel, cast iron and titanium. The inherently rigid monoblock structure means that it can be set up easily and rapidly. It is based on the proven FZ33 compact. The machine features the powerful new VH60

Low-Profi le Bar Pullers Accudyne Products now offers low-profi le mounting for its line of self-adjusting bar pullers called the EZ-Puller and the BigEz. The low-profi le option was developed to be used on CNC lathes that have minimal clearance between the outside of the


the most notable ways is the addition of nesting optimizers, which can be used to create either a fast nest or an optimal nest. Without any optimization, nests can be completed within a matter of seconds. By allowing the system to run as many as 102 trials, the system can improve material utilization by an average of 3–15%. The new nesting CAD/CAM also includes all new options for working with remnant sheets and custom sheet shapes. This means that any irregularly shaped leftover sheets from previous jobs, which normally might go to the scrap pile, can be used to nest more parts on future jobs. The new modules work seamlessly within BobCAD-CAM CNC programming software. BobCAD-CAM Inc. Ph: 877-262-2231 Web site: www.BobCAD.com


lathe turret and the sheetmetal way covers of the machine. Both tools provide automatic bar stock advancement for hex, square, and round stock in CNC lathes. The design of the tools eliminate the need for manually adjusting the gripping arms; different bar sizes are accommodated by changing the “X” end value in the bar pulling subroutine of the program.

Self-Locking Taps The Union Butterfi eld self-locking tap design eliminates time- intensive disassembly and assembly procedures and costly fasteners, chemical bonds, nylon plugs or other devices to maintain tightness. A 30° wedge lock on the female thread creates a continuous spiral contact along the entire thread length for improved holding power versus standard thread forms. The optimum load distribution provided by Union But- terfi eld’s self-locking thread form eliminates thread stripping that is typical in aluminum or other lightweight, soft materials when clamping load is concentrated on fewer threads.

CAD/CAM Nesting Modules Two new CAD-CAM software modules, Nesting Standard and Nesting Pro, are now available. The new software packages offer advanced nesting power with intelligent sheet optimizing technology that can increase material usage by as much as 15% for sheet cutting on CNC mill, router, laser, plasma, and waterjet machines. Nesting modules offer multiple ways for CNC machinists to get more parts out of every sheet. One of
