CNC Access Security
In an age of compromised files and records, your CNC can be one safe place. There’s more than a password involved: soft keys, key switches and conventional keyboards alike can be used to structure CNC security levels, enabling machine operators, setup personnel, maintenance technicians, programmers and master control personnel varying degrees of access to programs, tool settings and more.
Gear Production: Higher Speed, Closer Precision
Automated threaded wheel grinding on gear production machines has now been boosted by an order of magnitude with increased machining accuracy to DIN class 3.
CAD/CAM Software
Computer-aided design (CAD) software and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software is used to design and manufacture prototype parts, finished products, and production runs. An integrated CAD/CAM system uses CAD software to design models and assemblies of a product and interface with…
2014 Metal Cutting Outlook: Automated Flow
As business increases throughout this sector, it’s not about speed or piecemeal production any longer. Scott Walker of Mitsui Seiki explains why it’s really about transitioning into automated “flow” environments that integrate specific machine tools for specific applications to achieve accurate, consistently good end products.
Next-Generation Wire EDM Addresses Skilled Labor Shortage
Using HyperCut technology and Hyper-i control, U3 and U6 wire EDMs from Makino enable novice operators to program and produce leading-edge part finishes in the most complex feature geometries.
Internal / Universal Cylindrical Grinder Increases Shop Capabilities
The Studer CT550 from United Grinding Technologies is ideal for small- to medium-sized internal cylindrical grinding of die plates, spring collets, tool holding fixtures, hydraulic components, and thread ring gauges composed of hard materials like tool steel, carbide, ceramics and glass.
VMC for Small Job Shops or High Production
The F650 Value Master from Hyundai WIA uses a 25 hp, 10,000 rpm spindle for deep cuts at high speeds and Thru Spindle Coolant for deep hole drilling.
