Photochemical etching of microfluidic plates
Plate heat exchangers are found in numerous industrial applications, and essentially use metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. Their use is burgeoning as they out-perform conventional heat exchangers (often a coiled pipe containing one fluid that passes through a chamber containing another fluid) as the fluids being cooled are in contact with a much greater surface area, which optimizes the transfer of heat and greatly increases the speed of temperature change.
Koma makes executive appointments
Koma Precision Inc., East Windsor, Conn., has announced a series of executive appointments.
Have you tried trochoidal milling?
Trochoidal milling within a machine tool is classified as creating a circular machining toolpath with low radial engagement and constant feed per tooth. This results in a reduced chip thickness.
Automation for aerospace
Automated deburring can meet demands for high quality in the aerospace industry.
90 Degree Adapter
The adapter is made of 304 stainless steel and measures 1.498" X 1.825" X 3.188" (38.049mm x 46.355mm x 80.975mm) overall length. The adapter is turned on a Yama Seiki turning center and finished machining on a Bridgeport manual milling machine.
Easier design integration and faster supply using standard parts
Standard parts and components are as vital to engineering today as they were in the mid-twentieth century. The main changes in the industry have been the technology that has enabled faster design and manufacture, enabling greater productivity.

Solving spindle problems boosts the bottom line
CNC machine tool spindles are essential to any drilling, milling, boring, grinding, routing, cutting, or sawing process, and many manufacturers and machine shops rely on rebuilders to get production back online as quickly as possible when problems arise, and replacement is required. However, rebuilding a spindle is not always as simple as shipping off a problematic unit to have its parts replaced.
