Statistically Capable Machining
In a manufacturing age of limited resources and rising costs, machining decisions made on probabilities, as opposed to limits, can offer a significant benefit. By implementing modern statistical process control, this primer from Makino shows how machinists can ultimately improve quality and reliability, and reduce operating costs.
Squirting Away X-Rays in NDT
Because complex-shaped carbon fiber and other advanced composite materials require different testing methods than the X-rays typically used to check welds and look for defects in parts, ultrasonic squirting from the partnership of Marietta Nondestructive Testing, Bosch Rexroth and Livingston & Haven may become the next non-destructive test of choice.
