What is a Collet? Types, Uses, and Design Explained
Collets influence grip, concentricity, and setup repeatability. This guide explains common collet types and where they fit in machining applications.
Stay-at-home machine monitoring
As the pandemic forces remote machining operations, Balance Systems Corp. is at the ready with its B-Safe spindle monitoring system.
Episode 102: Workpiece fatigue
For the 102nd Grinding Doc episode, Dr. Jeffrey Badger covers the impact that thermal softening, residual tensile stresses and rehardening burn have on fatigue life in steel workpieces.
OKK VB53a Vertical Machining Center (VMC)
The OKK VB53a has several features for high rigidity and accuracy. A rigid machine base, wide size linear roller guide and fine pitch high-resolution ball screw increase machining precision. Enhancing positioning accuracy, a 0.05 micron resolution linear scale is offered. Soft Scale Cube technology features thermal sensors that monitor and compensate for any displacement in real time.
TungForce-Feed
TungForce-Feed features a large rake angle and positive inclination angle on the cutting edge that provide excellent chip control while reducing spindle loads and energy consumption. This allows a higher feed rate or greater depth of cut to be applied for improved efficiency and, by working in synergy with the cutter's high insert density design, produces 130%-150% gain in metal removal rates.
ENMX High-Feed Mill 4
The unique thickness of the YG-1 ENMX insert offers a series of benefits. First, YG-1 makes the inserts 20-25% thicker than others on the market.
Pressure Sensing Digital Flowmeters
Each meter ships with the necessary hardware and tools for installation including drill bit, drill guide, and hex wrenches. The Pressure Sensing feature is available on 2 inch and 50 millimeter or larger flowmeters. They are available in standard units which display airflow values on a bright LED screen, with optional data logger to capture and manipulate the data.
