FLAP WHEELS
give consistent cut and finish

Radially mounted around a metal shank or hub, flap wheels are balanced and smooth-running, producing a consistent cut and fine consistent finish throughout the life of the wheel. Flap wheels are ideal for contour work, blending, finishing, deburring and polishing of both ferrous and nonferrous metals, woods, and plastics. Smaller shank-mounted flap wheels also can be used for cleaning and deburring the inside hole diameters. Manufactured from aluminum oxide resin bond abrasive, the wheels for hand-held power tool applications are supplied with 1/8" or 1/4" straight round shanks or with 1/4-20 quick change threaded shanks. Flap wheels with metal hubs are for spindle mounting on stationary machines.

NovaTech microwelding systems let users produce a weld with less than 0.0005" of sink in the heat affected zone, resulting in welds that last longer and require less rework than conventional TIG welds. Suitable for repairing moulds, tools, and dies in-house, users can easily get into tight areas and the weld occurs at a lower temperature which prevents metallurgical damage. Featuring a microscope and lighting for the magnification needed to maintain the very small arc necessary in low-amperage miniature TIG welding, the system includes a power supply, hot plates, micro-blasters and all of the tools for pre- and post-welding operations.

The multi-tasking Nakamura-Tome Super NTJ turning centre completes multi-face angular machining and contour milling in a single setup, eliminating the need to refixture the part on another machine to perform secondary operations. With its advanced CNC software, this B-axis machine is capable of 9-axis machining with simultaneous 4+4 axis control. The Super NTJ features a 5000 rpm 20 HP left-side spindle, a 5000 rpm 15 HP right-side spindle, and a dodecogonal 24-station lower turret for both left and right spindles. The B-axis turret is capable of angular positioning to +/-91° from horizontal, eliminating the need for angular work holders.

The Wear-Tuff™ Abrasion-Resistant Metallic Coating is a proprietary carbide and nickel base formulation that at least doubles the life expectancy of cast or machined wear components, depending upon thickness and application. Suitable for use on conveyors, chutes and augers, or inside pipe and tubing, this protective coating is applied as a slurry or sprayed onto components in a controlled atmosphere, and will not restrict product flow. Featuring an Rc 60-65 hard surface finish and a bond stronger than the base metal, the coating is capable of withstanding sliding, mixing, scuffing and other highly abrasive operations.

VERTICAL MACHINING CENTRES
combine flexibility, speed and accuracy

The D series of vertical machining centres is designed for mixed volume, short run operations as well as dedicated high-volume applications. With an ample work envelope of 30" w x 15.98" d x 20" h and a table work surface of 36.02" x 14.17", the D760 has a compact 90.03" x 94.09" space-saving footprint. Rapid traverse rates of 1,181 imp (X- and Y-axis) and 787 imp (Z-axis) mean accelerated machine cycle times and reduced non-cut time which increases overall throughput. Servomotors directly coupled to high-precision ball screws provide excellent acceleration and deceleration performance as well as precise feed movement.

FACE MILLING CUTTER
offers simplicity and productivity

The QuattroMill™ general-purpose face milling cutter has design features that produce soft, easy cutting and help to extend the life of the inserts and cutter body. It is ideal for use on low power machines, for difficult materials including hardened steels, stainless steel and super alloys and for applications where a close-pitch cutter style is preferred. Because the cutters and inserts are produced with extremely tight manufacturing tolerances, vibration and noise are significantly reduced. The thick, strong inserts used with the QuattroMill cutter allow milling at very high feed rates. The available wiper inserts also enable milling with extremely fine surface finishes.

More than 60 tools and grinding wheels as large as 500mm can be accommodated in Magerle tool changing systems. The tools can be mills, drills, taps, multiple grinding wheels -- nearly everything that might be needed to finish a part. The tool changing technology increases the variety of applications to a great extent by increasing the number of operations that can be accomplished without operator interference. Tools and abrasives can be intermixed around the specific requirements of a given part and run that part complete, start to finish, in a single step. Typical applications include turbine vanes and blades, small turbine and compressor blades, machining both sides of fir tree and root shank faces, shroud and z-notch profiles -- both side and slots if required.
