Out with the old: General Industry Coverage
A model-based design and verification method for reducing the time to build complex vehicles and aircraft.
An eye for wear: Turning Performance
A machine vision system for inspecting cutting tool wear.
Fight, fight for old Manufacturing U.
When I read about The Brookings Institution's proposal to develop 20 U.S. manufacturing universities, my first thought was "what will the mascots be for the football teams?" Purdue already has the time-honored "Boilermakers" moniker but what about the others? Would they be the Michigan Machinists, the Caltech CAD/CAMs, the Lehigh Lasers or, maybe, the Fightin' Facemills?
Why so cross?: Medical Manufacturing
Drilling cross-holes in some parts is no big deal. These are often simple parts, such as aluminum valve bodies, where the holes aren't too deep and meet on-center, and the customer can live with a small burr at the intersection.
X-ray specs: Medical Manufacturing
X-ray scanning a part with internal features is useful because it creates 2-D images of those features in a nondestructive manner. Industrial computed-tomography, or industrial CT scanning, which is based on X-ray scanning technology, takes it a step further by providing a complete 3-D view for internal and external analysis.
Shifting gears: General Industry Coverage
Imagine a gear milling method where the toolpath -- not the tool shape -- determines gear characteristics such as diametral pitch or pressure angle. A new concept, involute milling, provides that functionality while delivering machining efficiency and production versatility. The result is a "democratization" of gear milling, moving the process from single-purpose, dedicated machine tools to multipurpose machines that can produce small batches economically because no costly hobs or gashers are needed.
Tool train
The heart of rail technology beats in Germany, where the Bombardier Transportation division of the Canadian conglomerate is headquartered in Berlin. Its plant in Netphen, Germany, annually produces 2,500 to 3,000 carriage bodies and bogies (a chassis or framework with wheels that is attached to a railway vehicle). This equipment is used in vehicles ranging from trams to high-speed trains. Despite the European economic crisis, order volumes have risen over the last few years, to the point where the plant, which has a workforce of 700, is nearly at full capacity.
Calculated Forces When Turning: Quick Guide
Turning force calculations help estimate tangential, feed, and radial loads so shops can judge rigidity, horsepower, and chatter risk before dialing in the cut.
Keeping cool grinding stainless
Dear Doc: I grind the ODs and IDs of stainless steel bearings and have a much tougher time than when grinding hardened steel. Why?
Tech Cool 35048BF Coolant
Chemetall introduces Tech Cool 35048BF, the Boron continues to see increased regulatory pressure in the United States and Europe, resulting in many corporations reducing or eliminating the substance from their chemical programs.
MAXPRO200 Hand-Held Torch
The MAXPRO200 from Hypertherm is a 200 amp handheld torch capable of severing up to 75mm (3") for demolition, scrapping and other heavy-duty cutting demands.
