General Machining & Manufacturing Processes

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.

Parylene is the ultimate protective coating, and is used for customers that require protection of equipment, components, and surfaces in a range of end-use applications. Parylene is a hydrophobic polymer which is lightweight and can be applied as an extremely thin homogeneous film. This film is absolutely smooth and totally transparent, and does not cause any unwanted effects such as surface tension and distortion. The coating provides incredible resistance to aggressive media and liquid hydrocarbons, and can also be used as a diffusion barrier to gases.

Camilla Nevstad Bruzelius, new head of sustainable business at Sandvik Coromant, took over on March 21.

The APS Automation Cell is capable of delivering abrasive-to-part and part-to-abrasive applications, wet/ dry processing and uses a full range of abrasives such as coated, non-woven, thin wheel, bonded and superabrasives. Equipped with a verified turnkey solution, manufacturers can then contact an automation system integrator to implement the solution. This avoids costly trial and error at the integrator level.

The internationally operating MPS Micro Precision Systems AG (MPS) consistently uses grinding processes for demanding high-precision components in IT02 tolerance ranges. With a total of seven Studer grinding machines, the company has a cylindrical grinding expertise that is second-to-none.

After Compact Flash and CFast, CFexpress marks the next most important leap forward in the development of industrial memory cards. Here are five arguments why this memory card is that step.

There are numerous metal cutting technologies available to OEMs. For high-precision metal parts, photochemical etching might be the answer.

The answer to manufacturing's waste problem is hidden in data.

A technical guide on creating the perfect endmill.

Not only does the fan provide unmatched 12V air performance, but this fan also has multiple integrated mounting features such as magnets, a 2" spring-loaded clamp, keyholes, and pass-through holes. In addition to the versatile mounting options, the 360° head rotation allows for unlimited direction airflow with minimal noise and the durability to withstand jobsite conditions and daily use.

The operational stock of industrial robots hit a new record of about 3 million units worldwide – increasing by 13% on average each year (2015-2020).

Researchers offer four recommendations designed to ensure that STEM role models motivate students of all backgrounds and demographics.
