Tormach PCNC Mills Looking to fulfill your need for an additional piece of equipment without blowing your budget? With unprecedented affordability and high quality, a new Tormach PCNC 1100 Series 3 is the best value in the CNC market.
$8480 (plus shipping)
Tormach PCNC mills are perfect for small shops, custom manufacturing, hobbyists and R&D. But they aren’t just for the little guys...

Or set up a PCNC for secondary operations like CNC drilling to free up your other machines for increased productivity. Sure, you could buy used, but why? With a rock-bottom cost of ownership and no-cost tech support by email or phone, a PCNC mill is an easy choice and avoids the hidden pitfalls of used equipment. Every PCNC 1100 Series 3 features: • Table size 34” x 9.5” • R8 Spindle 1.5 hp variable speed 5000 RPM and 90 IPM axes motion • Computer controlled spindle speed and direction • Standard G code compatibility • Composition bonded slideways (similar to Turcite®) When compared to the risk and headaches of used equipment, the decision is easy.

The V_Drive gives us the capability of cutting difficult-to-cut, high machinability index materials at a much faster rate. This piece of equipment typically will give me a productivity increase of a minimum of 25 to 50 percent more pieces on the floor in the same amount of time. In addition to productivity increases we get significantly longer tool life, on the order of 30 percent or higher. In productivity, we’re doubling our piece count. — Allen Goddu, President imPAct Alloys, inc., Pembroke, mAssAchusetts

The revolutionary Fiessler AKAS II-F is the most sophisticated form of press brake protection on the market today. Utilizing the latest in laser technology, the AKAS II-F allows the operator to bend even the smallest parts safely and easily without interrupting production. Change over from one punch size to another is minimized by the use of an exclusive “self aligning” feature for the laser beams. This allows the operator to perform other set up functions during the 30 seconds it takes for the beams to align themselves, versus the 5-10 minute manual laser alignment.

char-lynn hydraulic products low speed high-torque motors… The Char-Lynn
motor range consists of three major types based on the valving used to distribute fluid through the Orbit gear set (geroler or gerotor), Spool Valve, Disc Valve and VIS (Valve-in-Star). A variety of displacement sizes are available in each of the three motor types to provide a wide range of speeds and torques.
steering control units… offer these advantages: • Minimal steering linkage reduces cost, provides design flexibility. • Complete isolation of load forces from the control station. • Continuous, unlimited control action with low output torque. • Wide selection of control circuits and meter sizes. • Works with many kinds of power steering pumps or fluid supply. gear pumps… Eaton Series 26 gear pumps with 13-tooth gears minimizes flow ripple to reduce noise and vibration. Bearing lubrication system uses inlet oil rather than high pressure oil, improving volumetric efficiency and power output. The 13 available displacements and many mounting configurations provide for an easy retrofit. Other series available. 7355 N. Lawndale Ave., PO Box 6, Skokie, IL 60076

productivity profile
deburring soluTions For Any AppliCATion Deburring is a common metalworking problem and is important for quality, aesthetics, functionality and smooth operation of working parts. It is also an important safety consideration. Even a small burr can cause moving parts to catch, cut o-rings and seals during assembly or break off in the final assembly creating the potential for accident, injury or component failure. Rough edges can also cause injury when individuals are required to handle parts during processing. Each of these preventable problems can cost companies a great deal of money. “Burr removal meant a great deal of hand work in the past”, states Michael Miller, Brush Research Manufacturing’s VP of Sales. “A greater emphasis is now being placed on automating the deburring process and bringing the deburring tools into the manufacturing cycle.” Automated deburring provides more consistent results and eliminates many of the repetitive motion injuries associated with hand deburring. Burrs and poor finish affect parts of many shapes and sizes and specific tools have been developed for each case. Flex-Hone® Tools — For Any Type or size oF Cylinder The Flex-Hone tool is recommended for internal surface finishing and cross hole deburring in cylinders. The Flex-Hone Tool is a resilient, flexible honing tool with a soft cutting action. “Whether it’s deburring a hole, blending an edge or just improving the finish, the FlexHone provides consistent results from part to part”, Miller adds. The Flex-Hone produces a plateau surface finish with a non-directional or crosshatched pattern that greatly increases the surface’s ability to hold oil. This results in improved product performance and longer product life. The Flex-Hone is used in a variety of automotive, hydraulic, pneumatic and industrial applications. The tool fits holes from 4 millimeters to 36 inches. “A real advantage to using the Flex-Hone in a machining center is that parts can be deburred and finished in a single step,” Miller continues. “Parts can be dropped off complete”. For the tool to work well in all materials, a variety of abrasive types are needed. The
Flex-Hone is available in 8 different abrasive types including silicon carbide, aluminum oxide and was recently introduced in diamond. To meet the widest variety of finish specifications, the tool must be available in different grit sizes. The FlexHone is produced in 12 grit sizes from as coarse as 20 grit to as fine as 800 grit. AbrAsive nylon disC brusHes Abrasive nylon disc brushes are used for deburring and removing tool marks from flat milled surfaces, deburring gears and machined parts and fine blanked or punch press parts. They are often used in robotic systems and in automated in line finishing systems producing parts for the automotive, appliance and aerospace industries. Machine cycle times and available machine spindles require the brushing tool to be as versatile as possible. Brush Research has recently introduced
Nampower™ Disc Brushes, a line of abrasive nylon disc brushes with a combination of filament material that deburr and finish at the same time. These revolutionary brushes contain a unique combination of both ceramic filaments that provides maximum burr removal rates with silicon carbide filament that produces an optimum surface finish. The brushes are manufactured using a molded fiber reinforced thermoplastic base which provides greater stability and balance overcoming problems associated with other disc type brushes. To suite a variety of parts and deburring requirements, the brushes are available in 2 different styles: Dot Style for general purpose deburring and surface finishing applications and the Turbine Style brush for medium and heavy deburring applications. The brushes come in a variety of grit sizes and are designed to be used with the company’s unique flow-thru tool holder which provides better lubrication distribution resulting in faster cut rates and longer tool life. “These high-performance tools create reliable, consistent and cost effective results”, says Miller, “Nampower™ Disc Brushes are easily integrated into today’s automated machinery, CNC machining
centers, transfer lines and robotic cells”. AbrAsive nylon WHeel brusHes Abrasive nylon wheel brushes are used in the production of turbine blades, steel gears, machine parts, cam shafts and cutting tool inserts and are often used as an alternative to wire wheels and non-woven abrasive brushes. Brush Research’s NamPower™ composite hub wheel brushes are abrasive nylon brushing tools designed for machine-based and off-hand deburring, surface finishing and edge radiusing. A unique feature of these brushes is their composite hub construction. Composite hub construction allows for greater and more uniform filament density that produces a brush with more cutting points. Higher filament density means more abrasive cutting points on the workpiece resulting in faster material removal rates and longer tool life. Composite hub construction also results in a more balanced brush that produces less vibration and greater process repeatability. NamPower composite hub wheel brushes are available in a variety of grit selections to provide maximum burr removal and optimum surface finish. The wheels are available in 6” and 8” diameters and either ½” or 1” face widths. deburring smAll Holes — THe miniATure brusH soluTion Miniature deburring brushes are used to finish and deburr holes as small as .024 inches. Miller states, “While we recommend the Flex-Hone tool for holes of 4mm and larger, miniature deburring brushes provide a viable solution for small cross holes and intersecting holes”. Miller adds, “Removing burrs and producing an edge radius on small diameter holes is an expensive finishing problem that involves a great deal of hand work. Miniature deburring brushes can automate this process saving time and money while improving product quality and consistency”. Filament choices include carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, abrasive nylon, nylon and natural to provide the optimum finish on a variety of base materials. Miniature abrasive nylon deburring brushes are now also available in Diamond impregnated filament which is perfect for finishing ceramic, glass, aerospace alloys and hardened tool steel. BRM also offers a complete range of inch sizes from .024 and metric sizes starting at 1mm.
