Next Intent orders a 2011 Mori Seiki NLX2500/SY Mill / Turn machining center. The next generation of machine tool from Mori Seiki compliments our 2008 NL2500/SY machining center. We are very pleased with the other Mori Seiki, and the support of the Ellison Manufacturing Technologies.
September, 2011 imX Interactive Manufacturing Show in Las Vegas, NV.
Rodney and Cayse Babcock attended the imX show in Las Vegas from Sept. 12-14. This show was a unique event to mix interactive learning with experiencing the latest in technical innovation. The show was sponsored by SME (Society for Manufacturing Engineers), and AMTDA (American Machine Tool Distributors’ Association), along with key machine tool suppliers and cutting tool companies. The attendees were invited by the exhibitors. This limits the number of people attending, and improved the interactive experience. We were able to get all the latest information on cutting tools and machine tools without wading through crowds of people. Excellent event!

Brown & Sharpe Optiv CMM.
OPTIV is a multi-sensor measuring system where the primary sensor is video. Optiv systems combine the power of vision, laser and touch probe inspection in one versatile system. Ideal for measurement of wire EDM flexures and small parts. Optiv is working great. Thank you to Hexagon Metrology for the great training.
Another OKK! Next Intent also added another OKK VP400, acquired through The Machine Group (http://www.tmgwest.com/). This is our 3rd OKK VP400. Thanks very much to Mark Luoni for finding this machine for Next Intent. Next Intent now has 6 OKK Vertical Machining Centers, all with 4th axis capability and thru spindle coolant. Super accurate, super rigid, super reliable.
Volumill added to GibbsCam. VoluMill™ within GibbsCAM offers expanded milling solutions for cutting methods that maximize material removal rates by building toolpaths that optimally control tool cutting factors. The process automatically takes into account the best option for milling pockets, including the speed of a tool plunging into the material and material removal rates. Variation in tool load is smoothed, allowing the machine to use much higher speeds and feeds.
