Okuma America Corporation, a world-leader in CNC machine tools, has announced that Velocity/Briney is its newest member of Partners in THINC. Velocity/Briney supplies CNC machine toolholding solution Velocity SMART Tool exclusively for Okuma machining centers.
Velocity SMART Tool is a collaboration of four U.S. suppliers: Velocity Products, Briney Tooling Systems, BlueSwarf and Fullerton Tool. SMART Tool is fully assembled, balanced, preset and ready to run. "It removes toolholding guesswork for optimal cutting," said a company spokesperson.

"Velocity/Briney works closely with Okuma and its distributor network to deliver products that are designed, tuned and optimized for specific Okuma machining center models, said Robert Bauer, Vice President, Morris Group, Inc. and head of its Velocity Products division. "Combined, our areas of expertise in toolholding, cutting tools, and machining dynamics enable us to produce the highest quality, complete intelligent toolholder assemblies. Our singular focus makes us uniquely qualified to help Okuma customers maximize return on investments in technology."
