MC Molds: 'We're making chips in a matter of minutes'

Jordan Wade, a machinist at MC Molds, says Hurco's 3D Import feature “blows his mind” in regards to its ability to generate the program or the cutter path so easily when he just picks a surface.

Intended to help shops challenged by the job skills gap, 3D Import reportedly helps shops be more productive and profitable because it’s easy to learn, easy to use, and supports multiple programming methods: conversational programming; NC programming; and NC/Conversational Merge.

Meet the Okuma V920EX Vertical Lathe

The Okuma V920EX vertical lathe increases productivity by providing stable machining of thin and odd-shaped workpieces. With a max turning diameter of 36.22 inches and max turning height of 33.86 inches, this machine is capable of performing powerful, heavy-duty cuts, while the vertical orientation is the ideal platform for running thin-walled parts without distortion. The box-type base and column make a highly dependable, highly rigid structure and the headstock with flange construction minimizes the effects of thermal deformation and vibration, which ensures stable, accurate cutting.

Optimized control panel construction for machine tool builders

Panel building on machine tools is no longer as simple as wiring a few components and calling it a day. Now, there are more deadlines, cost pressures, standards, new directives, plus an increasing pressure to innovate. Besides commonly encountered problems related to time, cost, compliance and quality, there is also an increased degree of automation in the pre-fabrication of cables and the automated production of sheet metal parts.
