PREVENTING DARK TIMES. THE POWER OF ALTERNATIVE
ENERGY
We're energizing the nuclear industry.
Many countries across the world are facing energy blackouts by 2012
according to a survey undertaken by a leading energy company.
As the world looks for new, cleaner energy sources to reduce our
dependence on fossil fuels, nuclear power is back on the agenda.
With nearly 80 percent of the 441 commercial nuclear reactors worldwide
more than 15 years old, how will the industry develop to fill the energy
gap?

Three styles of spring-loaded work supports are now available that
are ideal for the accurate positioning and orientation of workpieces for
machining, fabrication and inspection layouts. The fixturing supports
are offered in four block-type sizes, five cylinder-type sizes and three
miniature versions.
The supports allow users to locate foundation pieces virtually anywhere
on a fixture base where workpiece support is required, following
contours, shoulders, different diameters and varying heights. The
supports help stabilize the piece, and assure that clamping devices hold
secure, preventing chatter and/or deflection of parts when under loads
and machining forces.

A new grade is available for milling steel and tool steels with
relatively thin average chip thickness. The new grade is especially
effective in square shoulder and copy milling applications where wear
resistance and tool life need to be improved. In these applications, the
grade has shown a 40% increase in tool life and up to a 200% increase in
machined components, as compared with competitive steel machining
grades.

This company has expanded its turning and application range with new
inserts and tools produced with new grades. New WNMX, CNMX and DNMX
inserts have high positive radial, helical cutting edges and positive
rake angles, which is a combination that substantially reduces cutting
forces. Their corner angle is 88 degrees for increased strength.
The company also has introducing new leverlock external holders for its
CNMX 55x, WNMX 45x Heliturn LD inserts and new boring bars for the CNMX
45x, WNMX 45x. Heliturn LD inserts. As a result of the inserts’
cutting edge and rake configuration, the new tools enable internal
turning at high machining parameters, exerting low cutting forces and
reducing vibrations.
