A Preview of Houstex 2013
This slideshow provides a sneak peek at some of the technologies that will be on display at Houstex 2013.

The Big Step Up
A small shop added two new machines, each of which is more advanced than any of the previous machine tools the company has used. One of the co-owners committed to the work of bringing both of these machines fully into service. Here is the shop’s experience so far.

The annual tournament benefits a local community college.

Test a Presetter, Win a Presetter
Not only is Koma Precision introducing a new tool presetter in Booth S-9153, but it’s also giving one away.

Bench-Mounted Tool Presetter Increases Productivity
Available from Koma, the Sethy tool presetter was developed as the entry-level option for Elbo Controlli’s new-generation of advanced tool presetting machines.

Bench-Mounted Presetter Designed for Intuitive Control
Koma Precision says its Larth tool presetter can be a more cost-effective alternative to decentralized tool measurement machines.

Tool Presetter is Cost-Effective Alternative
Koma Precision’s bench-mounted Larth tool presetter features a ground granite base and column, stainless steel construction and ergonomic design combined with a 5.7" TFT LCD touchscreen.

Twin-Camera Presetter
The Khyan-TW hybrid tool presetter from Koma Precision features a 23" high-definition screen.

Cycle Efficiency
Automated machining processes enable this maker of high-performance mountain bike parts to manufacture efficiently with minimal staff.

Measure Tools While Machines Are Cutting
For busy shops facing production constraints, presetters increase machining center capacity.

Complete Range of Tool Presetters
Sales, service and support are available for a complete range of tool presetters from Italian manufacturer Elbo Controlli.

Technology Suppliers Support Community College
Fanuc FA America (Hoffman Estates, Illinois), CNC Engineering (Enfield, Connecticut) and Koma Precision (East Windsor, Connecticut) have joined forces to support the manufacturing technology program and Asnuntuck Community College in Enfield, Connecticut.   For its part, CNC supplier Fanuc FA America recently donated three control systems to staff and students.

Tool Presetters in Six Models
Designed and manufactured in Italy by the company’s partner, Elbo Controlli, Koma Precision will now sell, service and support a range of tool presetters consisting of six models:  LARTH, SETHY, HATHOR, KHYAN, ANKH and AMON RA. All tool presetters are constructed with a solid granite column and base.

Koma Offers Italian Presetter Line
Koma Precision (East Windsor, Connecticut) has entered into an exclusive North American distribution agreement with Meda, Italy-based Elbo Controlli, a designer and manufacturer of tool presetting solutions.

Last Glance at IMTS 2010
It would be impossible to cover all of the key exhibitors at IMTS 2010—even if every booth got merely a quick glance. However, the editors of MMS did get glimpses of some interesting technologies exhibited at the show...

Quick-Change Tooling For Turn/Mills
The SmartChange System developed by Alberti provides quick-change live-tooling capability for turn/mill machines.

Quick Change Pallet System Promotes Workholding Flexibility
The Tsudakoma RTT-111,CA is a high speed, drop-trunnion, tilting rotary table.

Drop Trunnion Tilting Rotary Table
Distributed by Koma, the Tsudakoma RT-111,AA drop-trunnion tilting rotary table features a design in which the top surface of the spindle is the center line of the tilt axis. Two pneumatic rotary joints on the rotary axis allow automated clamping/unclamping of the System 3R chuck and pallet system.

Angle Head For Makino HMCs
Koma Precision stocks Alberti Slimline T90sl-0,3 angle heads, which are customized for Makino MAG3 HMCs. The angle heads feature an HSK 80F shank and a high speed NSK output, which can be equipped with a variety of micro-machining NSK tools.

Air-Driven Tools
 In addition to its line of Alberti Slomline NSK output angle heads, the company now offers Alberti NSK output TurboFlex and TurboDrill air driven tools. These air driven tools operate at up to 58,000 rpm and are offered with a full range of NSK micro machining outputs. Alberti NSK output live tools are also available on a special order basis.

High Speed, High Productivity Rotary Tables
The RNA-S, RBA-S and RBA-K, S series rotary tables have an indexing speed ranging to 88. 9 rpm. These high speed rotary tables are said to increase productivity not only by decreasing cycle times, but also by enabling smoother surface finishes, thereby reducing secondary machining requirements.

Compact, High Speed Rotary Tables
Tsudakoma TN-101, TN-131, TN-161 and TN-201 compact, high speed, tilting rotary tables from Koma Precision use a dual taper, double-disc braking mechanism, which generates massive clamp torque—an increase of 320 percent when compared to previous models. The one-piece monoblock frame construction permits maximum rigidity. The tables feature an indexing and tilting repeatability of ±2 arcseconds and are available with a full range of options including rotary scales and various chucks and collets.

Automation Helps Move To High-Volume Production
This tool manufacturer had to automate its processes after switching from low-volume special orders to high-volume production runs. Since implementing Tsudakoma tilting rotary tables along with robotics and a pallet conveyor, the shop has increased sales by 400 percent.
