LCD TFT color or touch screen, Ethernet, USB and built-in touch sensitive mouse pad. It can control up to 28 axes plus four separate spindles with four different execution channels and includes Auto-Tuning system setup capability. Fagor Automation Ph: 800-423-2467 Web site: www.fagorautomation.com
Replaceable-Head Drills Two new offerings join company’s range of solid carbide replaceable-head drills. The R960 has been developed specifically for drilling operations in stainless steel and cast iron, but is also recom- mended for use in titanium and nickel. The R950, available in di- ameters up to 42 mm, is well-suited for machining carbon and alloy
steels. Both head types incorporate a self-centering 140° four-facet split point. This feature ensures low thrust forces throughout the drilling cycle. Precision Dormer Ph: 800-877-3745 Web site: www.precisiondormer.com
Digital Accelerometers High-g digital accelerometer from Sensors line of inertial measurement products measures up to 500 g. It is well-suited for shock detection and sports equipment safety testing. Avail- able in ±500 g and ±250 g versions, the unit comes in single-axis, dual-axis and triaxial models. They are user configu- rable and contain the accelerometer(s), temperature sensor, signal processor, three analog outputs, and an RS485 interface that connects directly to the user’s PC. The accelerometers come

I HAVE PROBES ON MY MACHINE; I DON’T NEED A PRESETTER
Misconception #8
machines have the features to improve quality, shorten cycle times and minimize set-ups.
The Truth Is: A probe may be an effective way to verify tool lengths betwee but it is not the most efficient way to set your tools. A “guess-and-check” pro making adjustments wastes valuable cutting time. A Speroni MAGIS Tool P can verify runout, measure length, diameter, radius, and other geometrie measuring icons, and it can also inspect tools for wear. Spend less time a and more time cutting.
The notch-free nut design of our Mega Micro Chuck prevents vibration a for superior balance and concentricity. It not only eliminates whistling nois splattering, but also assures increased strength of the nut itself. The sup design of the body offers added strength for micro end milling, and reduce in long reach applications.
