Machine Technology: To extend or not to extend?
When purchasing consumer products, most of us quickly decide to pass on extended warranties. But extended machine tool warranties may merit more careful consideration, according to the Machine Technology column in the March 2017 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine.

Financing your next machine tool
Machine tools are big-ticket items, so it's no surprise that they're normally acquired using some sort of financing. In addition to banks, financing can be obtained from machine tool OEMs and nonbank lenders known as finance companies.

New life for an old machine
Are you about to scrap an old machine tool and replace it with a new one? Before you do, consider what could be a much less expensive way of getting a better machine: having the old one remanufactured.

Sound Shakes Up Machining
With an assist from sound that humans can't hear, machining can be a cooler and faster process—and yield more accurate results to boot, according to the September 2016 Machine Technology column in Cutting Tool Engineering magazine.

Short pulses offer long-term gains
You might think laser pulse lengths measured in nanoseconds—that is, billionths of a second—are short. But they're long compared to those of picosecond (a trillionth of a second) and femtosecond (a quadrillionth of a second) lasers, which are known as ultrashort-pulse lasers. Once confined mainly to laboratories and medical facilities, USPLs have become increasingly popular machining options over the last decade, thanks to lower prices and more-rugged designs intended for industrial settings.

Technology Targets Crashes
As CNC machining gets more complicated, the chance of programmer and operator errors increases. These errors can cause collisions involving machine components and workpieces during the cutting process, resulting in downtime and part, tool and machine damage. Costly crashes aren't inevitable, however, thanks to technologies aimed at preventing collisions and minimizing their impact.

Drilling stack materials
The aircraft industry now has the means to precisely machine multilayer material combinations. These combinations, called stack materials, include several thin layers of different materials. Aircraft skin, for example, could consist of titanium, aluminum and composite layers, according to Lee Coleman, automation division manager for Suhner Manufacturing Inc., Rome, Ga.
