The FOGS HD can rough and finish precisely
Machine Technology: Starrag offers the first heavy-duty machine capable of meeting the most stringent precision requirements.
Robot arm reaches for milling goals
Machine Technology: Researchers are close to developing a precision robotic arm for more economical milling.
Combo Machine Boosts Accuracy
Machine Technology: Company builds 8-axis machining center with separate milling and laser-cutting workstations
Automate in less shop space
With unmanned production capabilities, the Supercell-300G 5-axis horizontal manufacturing cell can hold 20 pallets in a 149"-wide footprint.
Good machines can come in small packages
There are relatively small, budget-friendly machines on the market that might meet your needs.
Machine tool controls with AI learn on the job
Advanced machine tool controls infused with artificial intelligence (AI) can learn about your machining processes. With this knowledge, a CNC can automatically take action that boosts machining speed and accuracy, as well as slash unplanned downtime for maintenance.
New approaches to machining microscale medical parts
Though machining medical microparts presents many challenges, shops that tackle the task are meeting these challenges thanks to a combination of ingenuity and technology, along with a dose of effective machining practices.
Taking a turn for the better
By packaging both turning and milling functions in a single machining center, machine tool builders believe they've hit on a winning combination that can boost part quality while also slashing cycle times, space and costs.
Protecting man, woman and machine
CNC machine tool owners with a healthy concern for their employees are advised to enclose their machines in protective structures.
Added dimensions boost accuracy: General Industry Coverage
Part quality can suffer if a machine tool cannot hold tolerances uniformly everywhere in its "working envelope," the box-shaped region that defines a machine's 3D reach when cutting.
Large vertical lathes available at reasonable prices
Look in a couple of nooks in the machine tool market and you'll find what appear to be bargains for those buying big.
Machine Technology: No-hands tool changing
When CNC milling machines were conceived some in the metalworking industry asked why a computer couldn't also manage tool changes. That question was the impetus behind the development of the automatic toolchanger.
