CNC Machining (General)

Flow International Corp.'s Composites Machining Center (CMC) hits the mark for single-setup processing of 40-meter-long composite wing skins, and one of the keys to holding long-axis accuracy during week-long machining cycles is Renishaw's HS10/HS20 laser encoder.

The growing challenges of grinding and servicing new generations of complex-geometry drills and end mills are resolved by a new release of the NUMROTO tool grinding software package. Version 3.8 of NUM's market-leading software automates multi-helical and variable flute grinding, as well as providing a new form cutter function for profile inserts.

Automatic tool changers, type CTM are suitable for applications on NC milling machines, vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes, transfer machines, laser and plasma cutting machines.

In today's market, it can be difficult for fabricators to compete when steel can be bought and sold at close to the same price as competitors. If a fabricator is currently using a burn table they have already experienced how much labor, floor space, and cost is involved with processing plate using older technology. Peddinghaus' solution to the burn table question is its newest plate processor, the HSFDB-C.
