and align accurately within any tight space to a depth equal to the length of the neck for accurate cutting, welding and drilling. Applications for this special nozzle have included medical devices, surgical instruments, pressure valves, fl uid power and fi rearm components as well as stamped, drawn and thermoformed parts. A wide range of materials such as stainless steel, titanium and nickel-based aerospace alloys can be processed. Prima Power Laserdyne Ph: 763-433-3700

End Mill for Titanium Roughing The 20-fl ute Cyclo Cut Max-Flute end mill is capable of remov- ing up to 12 in.3/min (196,644 mm3/min) with only 45 ft-lb (61 N•m) of torque and 12 hp (9 kW). Max-Flute tools use shal- low, radial widths of cut, which transfer less heat to the cutting tool. This allows higher surface speeds for roughing titanium, Iin- conel, and other high-temperature
alloys that have traditionally required high torque at low rpm to achieve desired removal rates. When coupled with a trochoidal machining strategy, Max-Flute end mills maintain a constant angle of engagement, making the radial cuts more consistent throughout the cutter path, increasing material removal rates and decreasing cycle times, while extending tool life. 5ME

depending on outgassing requirements. With an output signal period of 2 µm, and a measuring range of up to 420 mm, this series of encoders is easily designed into motion stages. It also has an accuracy grade of either ±1 µm, or even ±0.5 µm for those applications needing high-end metrology. The encoder system has a position stability of 2 nm and a low cyclical error (or interpolation error) of ±20 nm. Heidenhain Corp. Ph: 877-565-9151 Web site:
