Seeking grinding literature
Dr. Jeffrey Badger, the host of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine's Grinding Doc Video Series, offers some personal preferences in regard to grinding books and literature that could prove useful on the shop floor. Watch the 27th episode of the video series now.
Better workholding improves machining
Ever since CNC machining became the dominant method to cut and grind metal, a perception has existed that machining can be manipulated and easily simplified. With computers crunching the numbers, how hard can machining be?
Rigging and lifting safely: Turning Performance
In the olden days, riggers were the guys on the ground placing slings and chains around the object to be moved while the crane operator waited for their signals to begin lifting. Today, rigging in a small shop falls to the guys standing closest to the equipment when something needs to be moved.
Using mode shapes to overcome vibration
Measuring or modeling the natural frequencies and mode shapes is a useful step in avoiding or eliminating vibration problems.
Motivating with money: People & Companies
Money as a motivational tool can take the form of an employee's pay rate, commissions, bonuses and, perhaps once a certain level of seniority is reached, paid health insurance premiums. Not only do employees like it, but it's often a simpler solution. Adding a few bucks to a paycheck is a lot faster and easier than establishing many other incentives.
Stirring runout to zero: General Industry Coverage
A hydraulic expansion toolholder that can be adjusted to have zero runout accuracy.
Look, no batteries: General Industry Coverage
A wirelessly powered machining sensor system.
Heat Handlers: Turning Performance
Nickel-base superalloys can withstand hot and tough conditions, but are difficult to machine. With the right approach, machinists can keep their cool when cutting them.
Speed Thrills: Turning Performance
Swiss Automation's success is based on machining complex parts quickly, accurately and consistently.
Horizontal Autopilot: General Industry Coverage
Manufacturers are using unattended horizontal machining cells to improve productivity and quality.
Two (or More) for One
Multiple-operation cylindrical grinding machines enable shops to complete parts in a single setup.
