General Machining & Manufacturing Processes

Topics at Sandvik's technical training facility included breakthrough methods for turning and power skiving and tips to decrease cost per part, reduce setup and increase precision.

Renishaw was a gold sponsor at a recent Haas tech center event.

Andretti Autosport and a Big Daishowa engineer will demonstrate how UNILOCK workholding reduces setup times at IMTS.

Eagerly awaited, IMTS is finally opening its doors again after a forced break due to the pandemic. And during the break, Mikron Tool's R&D department has been busy developing better ways to machine demanding materials in the micron range. Some of them are "crazy."

Armored vehicles need huge levels of drive torque to get going. To deliver the necessary propulsive force, manufacturers rely on transmissions from Augsburg-based Renk GmbH, the specialist in fully automatic transmissions for heavy-tracked military vehicles. And wherever top performance is required, you can be sure that solutions from WFL are not far behind.

VpCI(r)-395 is Cortec's most durable anticorrosion primer. It not only promotes good surface adhesion between the metal and topcoats, but it also has greater strength as a 2K (two-component) primer. The extra effort that goes into mixing two parts together at the jobsite translates into greater durability because it allows crosslinking, i.e., greater chemical bonding, between the active ingredients in the primer.

Rush Machinery will showcase a balancing machine and a wheel truing and dressing machine at the 2022 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), being held at Chicago's McCormick Place from September 12–17. Rush Machinery can be found in Booth 237233.

Rigibore's Zenith ActiveEdge adjusts automatically from your measurement data, ensuring perfect bores with zero downtime. ActiveEdge tools are micron accurate in diameter (0.001) (0.00004") so even the tightest of tolerances can be met effortlessly. Save money by increasing production and eliminating scrap, with ActiveEdge technology.

Selecting the right insert to machine the wide variety of steel materials can be challenging. To make machining steel easier to navigate, CERATIZIT has rethought everything about its new ISO-P turning insert. From the substrate to the geometries, right through to the Dragonskin coating, CERATIZIT inserts ensure that you are prepared for every steel turning challenge.

The multifunctional turning-boring-milling center is designed for complete machining of complex chuck and shaft parts up to 670 mm swing over bed. Turning, milling, drilling, hobbing, shaping, gun drilling as well as ID machining can be performed under any angle of the tool. The interpolation of up to 5 axes makes machining of any geometrical profile possible. Large safety windows provide the best possible overview of the working area.
