Machining

Tool monitoring not only prevents breakage but drives down costs.

Alignment laser system helps Hurco increase the accuracy and speed when inspecting and verifying machine tools

A good thermal model can help minimize cycle time and burn risk, but according to The Grinding Doc making one is not easy.

Researchers develop a new way to train a machine learning model to predict the properties of a material using less data.

Broaching remains a fundamental operation for machine shops.

The current crop of automatic toolchangers offers technological advances and robotic capabilities.

The LX021 offers a comprehensive integrated solution that includes self-centering vice which minimizes part distortion while maintaining accuracy and repeatability. Kinematic correction cycles to calibrate the machine and verify its health over time. Advanced RCS CAM software designed specifically to generate optimize CNC tool paths.

TungCut CBN-tipped STH inserts provide the solution to these challenges with a completely new turning concept. In the shape of TungCut grooving insert, the new STH inserts perform finish-turning by feeding the insert sideways on the worked surface. Its CBN cutting edge features a unique wiper geometry: the frontal edge features an arc wiper of large radius.

PlateSaver is available through Hypertherm's ProNest and other authorized software for fabricators cutting mild steel on a CNC table using X-Definition plasma. It combines the arc stability of X-Definition plasma with specialized software parameters to dramatically increase material utilization. Those parameters cause PlateSaver to use shorter leads when starting and finishing a cut for less wasted space between parts.

Transor Filter USA named Mark Baltyn to its sales team as a regional account executive. Baltyn is a veteran of the machine tool field having spent more than 15 years with Hirschmann Engineering providing tooling solutions for a wide range of manufacturing.

The primary application of the Tiger·tec Gold inserts is steels with various tensile strengths that can be machined. These indexable inserts are ideal for use in the automotive, energy, and general metalworking industries, where the inserts can significantly help reduce the cost per component.

Since carbide shanks provide lower deflection than steel shanks, they enable aggressive machining with increased cutting parameters. This amounts to reduced machining time and increased productivity. Also, the new shanks provide excellent vibration resistance, enabling extremely productive machining with long overhang setup.
