In this episode of Bourbon With The Editor, we welcome Vargus USA to discuss advanced medical screw machining techniques. We dive into three key demos, showcasing precision machining for bone screws, dental implants, and medical extenders. Tune in for expert insights into tooling and processes shaping the future of medical manufacturing!

Grades GC1205 and 1210

Insert Turning Grades GC1205 and 1210 for high-precision turning of aged nickel-based HRSA Machning
Typical aero-engine components that the grades can machine are gas turbine discs, casings, blisks, spools, shafts and blades. But these grades also prove to be a great choice in demanding applications such as power generation turbines and medical implants made of cobalt-chrome

Supermini

Supermini System for Ultra-Fine Machining of Bores
The insert of the Supermini Type 105 system requires only one tool holder for well over 1,000 insert variants. This applies equally to left-hand and right-hand versions. The carbide inserts are available in coated and uncoated versions in different grades for every application including hard machining up to 66 HRC. The patented droplet shape of the cross-section has a vibration-damping effect and delivers excellent repeatability when changing the insert. Internal coolant supply to the insert increases tool life, enhances cutting performance and improves chip removal.

Feed Rate Calculator Web App

Web App Calculates Force Optimization
The Feed Rate Calculator web app – the first in range of smart tools being developed by the team at Productive Machines - empowers manufacturers to make fast decisions about the use of untested milling processes and to obtain accurate forecasts of cutting forces expected on the cutting tool, thus unlocking significant cost and time savings time.
