Machining

CTE Editor-at-Large Alan Richter is on the show floor in Taipei, checking out the latest machining innovations. At @eCERATIZIT ‘s booth, he’s taking a look at the HDT FreeTurn—built for high-speed roughing, turning, and grooving with precision and minimal vibration.

In the world of steel construction, surface preparation is more than a preliminary step—it's a defining factor in durability and corrosion resistance. An autonomous solution that simplifies precision grinding and seamlessly integrates with automated shot blasting.

The flat machining of bi‐metal surfaces or milling applications involving an interrupted cut can present challenges to PCD or carbide milling cutters. Inserts may chip during the milling process, resulting in high machining costs & elevated levels of sub‐standard or rejected parts. ElectroMill® produces high quality, flat milled surfaces, even if an interrupted cut is present or multiple materials are to be machined simultaneously. It effectively replaces expensive, complex cutters in high volume applications like high strength alloys, stainless steel, ceramics, cast iron, fiberglass pipe, composites and aluminum. Benefits include high stock removal rates, stress-free cutting action, extended tool life, industry standard adapter mountings and milling cutting dimensions.
