Machining

Project CAMPFIRE seeks to deliver a digital postprocessing solution for the automated finishing of 3D-printed parts.

Tracking the tipping point for additively manufactured metal parts.

The MaxiMill – 211-DC has 60% longer tool life compared to tools with standard cooling.

Walter has acquired PDQ Workholding LLC (PDQ), Columbia City, IN, specialist in workholding fixtures and tooling for various industries, including automotive and general engineering.

Industry expert Jeff Rizzie looks at the future of machining with "sensorized" tooling in educational session at the 2024 International Manufacturing Technology Show

The bench lathe meets the requirements of prototype shops, home machinists, jewelry manufacturing, tool rooms and fabrication and maintenance shops which need to turn small metal parts. Standard on the bench lathe are: 3-jaw lathe chuck, safety chuck and tool post guards, 4-way tool post, centers, chip tray and precision thrust and ball bearings in the head stock.

Travers Tool Company, which has corporate headquarters in Flushing, New York, and distribution centers in South Carolina and California, is celebrating its 100-year anniversary this year.

The Swiss grinding experts from Tschudin are presenting what they say is a world first: a grinding machine with perfect heat transfer.

For faster, easier cleaning, the casting of the CUT 400 S Dedicated is designed so that tank water constantly runs down the interior sides of the work envelope, keeping them wet and preventing EDM residue from drying and hardening. This sticky residue also plays havoc with an EDM's filter and drive systems.

Precision Express matches an in-house profiling cell with a broad range of on-hand stock, cutting wheel manufacturing and delivery lead times from months to days. Even when gear manufacturers see a spike in demand or need a custom profile at a moment's notice, Weiler Abrasives can provide consistent availability and delivery.

A six-fluted countersink will remove more material per revolution than will a four-flute or single-flute tool. While the single-flute countersink is slow cutting, it will work well in a non-rigid machining setup. Four flutes provide more chip clearance than six do. This is a consideration in machining stringy materials such as some plastics and nonferrous alloys.

Equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, the DWL1900XY seamlessly integrates with the Digi-PasR Smart Level mobile app, enabling real-time data visualization on smartphones and unlocking other advanced features including simultaneous multi-axes readouts, multi devices connectivity, multiple units of measure- ment and self-calibration, among others.
