Trophy Work: Moving from Art to Part
Check out how Blue Chip Engineering was able to engineer and machine a complex, mobile sculpture for renowned designer Tom Shannon using advanced CADCAM software from Gibbs and Associates.
Advanced Multi-Axis Milling
A totally revamped surface machining module with some of the most powerful CAM machining algorithms on the market today for three-, four- and five-axis simultaneous milling operations is part of this new release of programming software from PartMaker for CNC mills, turn-mill centers, bar-fed mills and Swiss-type lathes.
Extended Reach Cryogenic Machining
This new cryogenic system from MAG marries a precision milling head with a ram-type boring mill for extended-reach machining on large, high-accuracy composite and sandwich structures.
Smarter Tool Feed Enhances Production Honing
This new tool feed technology from Sunnen servo-controls the force in the honing tool feed system to maintain the optimum cutting load on the honing abrasive throughout a cycle, irrespective of the incoming part’s hardness, geometry or size variation.
Why CNC is the Way To Go For Nearly Every Machine Shop
Randy Pearson of Siemens Industry shares some of the many reasons why CNC machines will provide your shop more profit today and more growth opportunities in the future.
Cold As Ice Technology Is a White Hot Breakthrough
Want to get more competitive? Mike Riley reviews the recent advancements, capabilities and advantages of Minimum Quantity Cryogenics machining from MAG that will be on display next month at IMTS, including dramatic increases in material removal rates and extended tool life on difficult-to-machine materials.
Morris Great Lakes Breaks Ground On New Headquarters
This supplier of advanced machine tools and related engineering, technology, and support services to manufacturers of precision machined parts is building a new 12,000 sq ft facility with an 8,000 sq ft state-of-the-art technical center for machine demonstrations and test-cutting or trials devoted to developing custom turnkey and automated manufacturing solutions.
What Slow Down? Contract Manufacturing Continues to Grow
American manufacturing appears to have steadied from a growth spurt seen in 2011, but contract manufacturing continues a two-year trend of positive growth according to a recent survey from Design-2-Part Shows.
Tape Laying, Fiber Replacement and the CNC
The composite manufacture of aircraft parts requires an integrated, tailored process chain. This is the main reason many of the supply system partners in the aerospace industry prefer to rely on CNC machine automation solutions. The CNC functionality of the Sinumerik 840D from Siemens Industry guarantees controlled, stable processes.
No More Necessary Evil
Again and again, deburring causes the economic viability of an entire optimized machining process to decline because this operation has not been included in the process stream from the start. But not any more. Oliver Hagenlocher of EMAG explains how a new electro-chemical machining process is changing all of that.
Easy Operator Programming… Yes, I Said Easy!
Randy Pearson of Siemens Industry explains why less time needed for operators to program at the machine means more uptime on the machine.
OMAX Responds to Growing Technology Demands
The abrasive waterjet manufacturer appoints new vice president of product engineering so it can exceed the growing technology demands of its global customers.
