Rotary broach tools are available in a range of internal and external shapes and diameters – standards and specials. Multiple external and internal rotary broaching toolholders are offered, including adjustment-free versions.

Punch broaching performs in applications where rotary broaching may not be suitable. Keyways, hexagons, Torx-style six lobes, serrations, splines, and squares are machined using partial-form broach tools and indexing either the tool or the workpiece to reduce cutting pressure. Indexable punch broach holders aid the process and provide high-repeatability on CNC lathes, milling machines, and presses.

To ensure print tolerance compliance and eliminate process variations is the line of standard and custom Go/No-Go gage sets. Held to tight tolerances – within 0.0002" (0.0050mm) – they can be customized to any shape or size. All plug and ring gages are offered for numerous shapes, either as full-form composite, sector, or progressive forms. Slater Tools also offers long form gage certification.

Heavy-duty wringers/centrifuges use more than 600x the force of gravity to reclaim up to 98% of coolant and cutting oils from metal chips, reducing haul-away cost and increasing the value of dry chips.

The Guardian coolant recycling system recycles used coolants, reducing waste fluids by 50% to 90%, eliminating concerns about wastewater haul-away liabilities.

Paper bed filters provide long-term solutions for solids filtration, with or without magnetic separation, and are suited to grinding applications. Filtered fluid can be reused or recycled, lowering operational costs.

The Evaled vacuum evaporation and distillation system for treating industrial wastewater operates as a closed-loop system under vacuum.

The Evaled evaporator has an efficient design with one inlet and two discharge streams – concentrate and distillate – with no air emissions. A water analysis determines the equipment requirements to meet reuse or approved dumping requirements.

Gundrilling, BTA drilling, bottle boring, and skiving/roller burnishing machine advancements will be shown through a collection of workpieces on display at IMTS 2018. In addition, a custom UNX machine will demonstrate depth-to-diameter ratio possibilities with CNC motion control capabilities to produce accurate, off-center, gun-drilled holes.

An expanded line of deep hole drilling and machining centers will complement the existing USC-M series, 4- to 7-axis deep-hole drilling and machining centers.

Metal injection molding (MIM) eliminates machining by producing precise, net-shaped parts that usually require no secondary operations. If high tolerances are needed and cannot be MIM molded, 5-axis CNC machining equipment achieves tighter specifications while still being more competitive than complete part machining.

ICAM’s Adaptive Post-Processing solution eliminates tool path errors while reducing programming time, allowing programmers to design tool paths for the part being cut without regard for what machine will produce it; eliminating part reprogramming if the machine used changes. This results in manufacturing flexibility and the ability to choose the most suitable machine at a given time, getting more productivity out of existing equipment.

The Citizen D25 Swiss-style lathe is equipped with double-gang tool posts and B-axis that enable short cycle times for high productivity. The large number of tools, for main- and sub-spindle, provide cost-effective production of complex workpieces.

Also on display at IMTS 2018 will be other Citizen Cincom & Miyano machines highlighting automation, bar feeders, laser welding, and Citizen LFV technology.

TCB series counterboring tool diameters range from 26mm to 59mm (1.02" to 2.32"), and inserts with the –CG style chipbreaker geometry yield consistent chip flow in various materials at a range of cutting depths.

The expanded TCB line incorporates a cartridge design for easy diameter adjustments. It can be adjusted by placing multiple-sized shims between the tool body and cartridge, enabling a single tool body to machine various diameters. Fine diameter adjustments in increments of 0.100mm (0.004") are also possible with thinner shims sold separately.

The CL5 5-axis workholding system consists of a subplate, riser, and top tooling made from a vise or a fixture plate. The subplate transforms a T-slot table into a modular fixturing plate, allowing flexible and easy clamping and locating of other tooling and/or fixtures. Every plate has built-in clamping and locating for risers, allowing for quick and accurate setups. The Quintus quick-change riser allows 5-side part access to remove a part from the machine table. The system combines the riser, quick-change capability, and precise location in one piece. Several versions of fixture plates, vises, and jaws are available.
