‘Milling Cutters’

A Manufacturingtalk guide

Start with the news release Pro waterjet cutters improve energy density from KMT Waterjet Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "KMT Waterjet Systems' Pro series of high-pressure waterjet cutting products can be used with 4100 and 6200 bar working pressures. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Makino machining centres cut titanium faster from NCMT: "Japanese machine-tool builder Makino has introduced the Makino T4 and T2 five-axis, high power, horizontal machining centres for machining components from titanium and its alloys.".

In July 2009, we covered the news from ITC Tooling - take a look at ITC aluminium milling cutter quickly clears swarf which says: "ITC Tooling has extended the 3041 Cyber Series of three-fluted end mills to incorporate a radius on all diameter sizes. ".

Take a look also at the news release from DP Technology, DP to display Esprit CAM software at DMTS 2009, as well as Cad Vision reduces pattern-making time from Automatic Cutting Technology, and Citizen machines provide maximum productivity from Citizen Machinery UK.
