HEULE, a world leader in tool development, introduces GH-K tooling which provides precision chatter-free countersinks from 3mm – 45mm (0.118” to 1.771”) in a wide range of materials. Engineered with a positive geometry for high shear cutting action, it features carbide blades for machining cast iron, steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials, with optional HSS-Cobalt coated blades for steel and stainless-steel applications. Three-blades tools supplied for manual or CNC applications; single-bladed tools for all machining centers. Regardless of the number and composition, replaceable, re-grindable blades make GH-K an economical choice for many machining operations. All inserts are ground as a set at serialize to minimize deviation, so they cut at the same time, and minimize chatter, while enhancing surface finish. These unique tools are suitable for conventional milling of chamfers around the perimeter of larger holes or entire parts. GH-K Tooling available from stock in sizes from 3-45 mm (0.118 – 1.771 inches) at 60, 82, 90, and 100-degrees. How it works As the tool is fed into the part, the blades start cutting once the tip contacts the material. The operator continues to feed the tool until the desired countersink size is achieved, then rapidly retracts the tool. The GH-K’s shallow radial clearance ensures precision and chatter-free operation, although controlled feed rates may be necessary. Shims can be added to adjust the tool’s performance for more aggressive feed rates. (https://www.aerospacemanufacturinganddesign.com)...
Seco Axiabore and Axiabore Plus Digital Axial Boring Heads eliminate tedious, inaccurate boring head adjustments that can lead to scrapped parts. Its wide digital display helps for quick, efficient adjustment and setup. “Boring heads typically require a skilled operator for accurate adjustment,” says Seco Product Manager Kavita Dandge. “For shops struggling with skilled labor shortages, the Digital Axial Boring Heads use a reversible digital display so operators of any level can make adjustments without mistakes.” Quick and easy setup Cutting edge displacement is critical to boring accuracy. Seco Axiabore and Axiabore Plus Digital Axial Boring Heads use a digital device to display precise displacement values during tool setup. This wide display works with all Seco Digital Axial Boring Heads, and reverses for clear visibility inside a machine tool. Without a digital device, boring head setup requires time-consuming adjustments of tiny hard-to-read scales. Seco Axiabore and Axiabore Plus Digital Axial Boring Heads allow for clear and concise adjustments to virtually eliminate human error. With a wide, easy-to-read display and convenient button controls, the Seco digital head also shortens setup times for greater efficiency and productivity. Contaminant-free operation and easy recharging For maximum versatility, the Seco digital adjustment device uses no batteries, charges via USB and attaches to the boring head with magnets for a tight seal. The elimination of replaceable batteries prevents contamination during battery changes. The battery-free design of Seco Axiabore and Axiabore Plus Digital Axial Boring Heads remains sealed to keep dust and coolant out, and the Digital Display’s single charge lasts for 200 measurements. Versatile tool sizes and connections Seco offers the Axiabore and Axiabore Plus Digital Axial Boring Heads in five sizes for outstanding versatility. The diameters match the Seco analog axial tool range, starting from diameter 2mm. The heads ha...

Improved wear resistance delivers stable operation with less maintenance over long periods A NSK-first combination of bearing material, roller coating, and extra-capacity cage for reducing wear A total solution for higher durability—Over 90% less raceway wear compared to standard products NSK Ltd. (NSK; Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and CEO: Akitoshi Ichii) has developed and launched a line of highly reliable spherical roller bearings (SRBs)1 for wind turbine main shafts that combine three advanced technologies to deliver exceptional reliability. Joining NSK’s “Super-TF” long-life material and high-hardness diamond-like DLC coating, a new extra-capacity ECA cage provides high load capacity in a total bearing solution optimized for the challenges facing today’s wind turbines. By the full application of these technological advancements, NSK has reduced raceway wear to less than one-tenth that of standard products. As raceway wear is the main form of damage in SRBs for main shafts, this provides a substantial improvement in bearing durability. With fewer maintenance runs and less need to replace parts, these highly reliable bearings help reduce downtime and maintain stable operation at wind power generation facilities worldwide. NSK has been serving the wind turbine industry with our Super-TF material and DLC coating for years. In June 2024, we developed a SRB with a new extra-capacity ECA cage to serve the needs of wind power companies in North America. Now, we have fully implemented a production system for highly reliable SRBs combining all three of these advanced technologies and we are now expanding fulfillment worldwide. Future plans involve combining these SRBs with NSK condition monitoring solutions to expand business in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). NSK high-reliability spherical roller bearings join a portfolio of aftermarket offerings laid out in our 2026 Mid-Term Management Plan, with a target of 25 billion yen in increased sa...
