lifter upgrade, and the Columbus III programming and nesting software. As a result, the user can automatically produce high-quality plasma-cut holes on mild steel up to 1" (25.4-mm) thick for hole sizes down to 1:1 ratio without manual intervention.

The CNC C 22 U high-speed machining center can be fully automated with the PW 150 pallet changer, which can trans- port single pallets with weights up to 250 kg. The automated system consists of an NC-controlled drive unit and turning unit with double gripper. Key feature of the pallet changer is the double gripper that can be used to simultaneously move two pallets with 150 kg transport weight each in or out. Work- piece cube has a maximum diameter of 400 mm and height of 370 mm. Standard design can handle up to six pallets with additional storage of up to 11 pallets. Hermle Machine Co.

I HAVE PROBES ON MY MACHINE; I DON’T NEED A PRESETTER
Misconception #8
The Truth Is: A probe may be an effective way to verify tool lengths between cuts, but it is not the most efficient way to set your tools. A “guess-and-check” process for making adjustments wastes valuable cutting time. A Speroni MAGIS Tool Presetter can verify runout, measure length, diameter, radius, and other geometries using measuring icons, and it can also inspect tools for wear. Spend less time adjusting and more time cutting.

The notch-free nut design of our Mega Micro Chuck prevents vibration at high speeds for superior balance and concentricity. It not only eliminates whistling noise and coolant splattering, but also assures increased strength of the nut itself. The super slim taper design of the body offers added strength for micro end milling, and reduces interference in long reach applications.

The AlumaMill G3 is an advanced solid-carbide end mill designed specifically for use in machining aluminum and other nonferrous applications. The end mill allows users to rough and finish cut with the same tool, as well as aggres- sively plunge and ramp cuts into parts and produce excellent part-floor finishes. The tool line has been expanded with a number of additional tool options, including a ballnose ver- sion. A number of different sizes have been launched to offer a variety of corner radii, both coated and uncoated, as well as a metric stub length version. Fullerton Tool Co.
