Machining

Multitask machines are practical and appealing.

The Grinding Doc shares observations and general trends on this grinding style

Don't let reaming challenges keep you from bringing holemaking to a successful conclusion.

Machining phenolic requires attention to abrasive wear, dust control, and safe handling. This guide covers tooling, process, and shop considerations for phenolic parts.

The outlook for workforce development in the manufacturing industry is optimistic, but hurdles remain.

The Feed Rate Calculator web app – the first in range of smart tools being developed by the team at Productive Machines - empowers manufacturers to make fast decisions about the use of untested milling processes and to obtain accurate forecasts of cutting forces expected on the cutting tool, thus unlocking significant cost and time savings time.

Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions has named John Powalisz as its new director of sales.

Ceratizit USA, a manufacturer of standard and custom tooling for the metalworking industry, has enhanced its Midwest presence by hiring an engineer.

All Profilator machines are designed for dry machining. This brings several advantages such as: an optimized machining area, no coolant and no coolant mist. The inverted, vertical spindle(s) allow free chip fall into the central chip conveyor at the bottom, while no coolant means no washing of the workpiece is required and the lack of coolant mist signifies an extraction system isn't needed.

CAM Assist uses advanced computational optimisation and AI inference techniques to rapidly determine a professional strategy and toolset needed to manufacture a part, along with the most appropriate cutting speeds and feeds from the user's library.

The OSP-P500 is fully equipped with Digital Twin Technology, a technology that enables high-precision machining simulations to be created on a computer, while also providing real-time data feedback loops from the operational machine tool to the simulating computer. This feature allows operators to utilize real-time data to mirror exact machine tool functions and behaviors to optimize performance.

MDES is an open data exchange specification for the manufacturing industry. It is designed to increase the interoperability of different hardware and software systems across all stages of the product lifecycle, from design and planning to production and quality control.
