International Metalworking News for Asia

The June issue of International Metalworking News for Asia leads off with the Metal Cutting Equipment technical article, Space-saving CNC machines, which talks about the small and high-precision horizontal machining centre recommended for medical parts and small aluminium parts manufacturing.
This month on Laser Technologies, EMAG illustrates some efficient mechanical engineering solutions poised to save energy in the metal processing industry. For years energy consumption has been a decisive cost factor capable of surpassing even the investment costs of the machine over the long-term. EMAG mechanical engineers developed a system solution with extraordinarily low energy consumption to meet the challenge.
Also be sure to check the new grades of stainless steel and super alloys at the Tooling and Workholding column. Sutton Tools Export Manager, Jeff Boyd, explains how its latest endmill provides the solution for high-quality milling of emerging hardwearing super alloy materials being developed for the aerospace, oil & gas, food & beverage, medical and marine industries.
Finally, the Inspection Measurement Equipment section presents, Accurate rotary axes calibration on machine tools. Machine performance measurement and diagnosis is essential to establish a known and repeatable level of process capability. Renishaw, developer of metrology and machine tool calibration devices, shows how a rotary axis calibrator can transform the way we calibrate rotary axes on machine tools.
