    Unlocking the potential of automation, the 5thAxis VA56 LiteVise is engineered to bring unparalleled precision and efficiency to your CNC operations—perfectly suited for lights-out manufacturing. ✓ Automation-Ready Design: Crafted from high-strength aluminium alloy, this vise is 50% lighter than its competition. The reduced weight makes it easy to handle and quick to set up by machinists, and it’s light enough to be used with a co-bot (collaborative robot) for seamless tool changes. The co-bot’s ability to work safely alongside human operators without needing to be locked away in a separate room makes it an ideal partner in an automated environment. ✓ Precision Clamping: The advanced clamping mechanism delivers a rock-solid hold on your workpieces, eliminating any risk of movement during machining. The result? Consistent precision and reliability in every operation, critical for automated processes where repeatability is key. ✓ Seamless Setup and Compatibility: Designed for quick installation and versatile compatibility, it fits perfectly with 96mm RockLock systems and a range of pallet configurations. Whether you're an experienced machinist or just starting, this vise makes setup simple and efficient, keeping automation lines running smoothly. ✓ Enhanced Machining Performance: With low-profile, reversible gripper jaws integrated with a 45-degree dovetail, the 5thAxis VA56 optimises grip and performance, giving you the confidence that every job will be done right—even in high-demand automated environments. Ready to see the difference this vise can make in your setup?

    We had a great time last night celebrating AMTIL's 25-year anniversary in Melbourne! The evening at Eureka 89 was awesome, with incredible views of the city from level 89—a venue truly fitting for celebrating AMTIL's and its members' success over the last 25 years. Proud to be members of such a great organisation, catching up with old friends and making some new ones was a real highlight. Here’s to 25 years of outstanding achievements, and many more to come!

    Unveiling Micromilling Expertise: Sydney's Expert Watchmakers We're proud to share the incredible work of Josh Hacko and team. Their dedication to precision and craftsmanship in creating these intricate pieces within Australia is truly commendable. In this post, Josh, Technical Director at NH Micro and Nicholas Hacko Watchmaker, demonstrates the importance of handling "tiny tools" before they even reach the machine. Why is it important? Because even the slightest damage or mishandling can lead to significant issues during the machining process. To put it into perspective, a 0.15mm endmill is barely larger than a human hair, and the corner radius is just 10 microns—about one-tenth the thickness of a sheet of paper! This level of accuracy requires careful handling to avoid any damage. Josh and his team are proudly committed to this meticulous work, investing time and care to deliver the best quality possible to all their clients. Follow Josh Hacko to see more interesting behind-the-scenes stories in the world of watchmaking.

    Small tool handling. When using absolutely tiny tools, handling them before they even get to the machine, is absolutely critical. This is a 0.15mm endmill, with four flutes, a back taper, and a 10 micron, defined, corner radius! NS made tool handling very easy.... In this photo essay you can see how we carefully open and de-sheath a fresh tool using a special jig. In manufacturing, especially in micromilling, everything matters... The smallest, most minute details can have large effects and using something simple like this jig ensures that our tool handling is stable, consistent and damage-free between employees. A 0.15mm endmill is barely larger than a human hair, so and sort of contact during handling is simply unnaceptable. I love that in this jig they provide support for the tool shank, but also the sheath- even if you have the shank stabilised, the sheath can still bounce around and damage the tool during opening.

    Introducing the latest addition to our tool lineup - the Zeus Eco RW 931 Straight Cut Knurling Tool. Crafted in Germany by Zeus, this tool is designed for precision cutting and a clean knurled finish. Why cut knurl? Cut vs Pressure Knurling: Pressure: The knurling wheel penetrates the surface of the workpiece, displacing material to form the pattern. This method creates deformation and alters the size of the component, which can be problematic with low rigidity component setups. Cut: Cut knurling removes material instead of deforming the workpiece. It is typically used when a deeper and more aggressive knurl pattern is needed, when the workpiece does not allow for pressure to be applied (such as thin walls or small diameters), or when the workpiece material is particularly tough or difficult to deform. Cut knurls are clean and the form is more defined compared to pressure knurling. Have a challenging job? Let us know how we can help. #Machinists #KnurlingTool #ZeusEco #HommelKeller #PrecisionMachining #NewTools #ToolLovers #MachiningLife #manufacturing #livetools #machineshop #cncmilling #cncmachining #cnc #manualmachining #machining Hommel+Keller Präzisionswerkzeuge GmbH https://lnkd.in/eVynkn5R

    How to maximise accessibility to your workpiece? Consider dovetail clamping: ·      Machine multiple operations with one hold ·      Ideal for complex components ·      Hold bigger parts with less By cutting a dovetail into the bottom of the stock our customer was able to have full access around the part.
