Machining

Jeffrey Badger, Ph.D., discusses the grinding principles at work that cause chatter in the 106th episode of The Grinding Doc video series.

To increase their use for steel turning applications across the automotive, energy and general engineering sectors, the upgrade includes more insert shapes for each grade. Having access to the correct insert shape is vital for effective finishing and roughing operations, and the insert shape should be selected relative to the entering angle accessibility required of the tool.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology research study finds that many alloy combinations previously ruled out as unviable are in fact feasible.

Frustrated with endmill accuracy, company turns to Anca Inc. to help produce unconventional cutters.

Lessons from machining automotive materials can be applied to other industries.

These six practices really matter for machine maintenance.

With robotic machine tending solutions on a CNC machine shop floor, workers have a better opportunity to contribute to the overall manufacturing process.

The GT-610 EZ from Glebar Co. is designed to provide slide motion control and other key ingredients to grinding success at a lower price point.

Outfitted with FANUC's new 0i-MF Plus control, the KH-4100kai offers numerous customizable functions, a new user interface, as well as pallet and tool management screens. New internal sheet metal placement and machine way wipers keep chips from interfering with critical components and guide chips to the center trough, ensuring a pristine, debris-free environment.

Chromalloy, a manufacturing and repair solutions provider for gas turbine engine manufacturers and operators, selected Velo3D's Sapphire system as its additive manufacturing solution.

A cell is typically composed of three machines. First, Precihole's four-spindle gun drilling machine permits deep drilling of four barrels simultaneously. An open machine configuration facilitates robot access, minimizing operator involvement and supporting 24/7 operation. Depending on individual model configuration, the machine can drill IDs from 0.04" to 1.57" and barrel stock from 0.4" - 4.0" OD.n

VELO3D, a Campbell, California-based metal additive manufacturing (AM) producer, has been named to Fast Company's annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2021.
