Practicing routine grinding machine maintenance produces productivity gains
Because of the array of precision functions grinding machines perform, it's vital to properly maintain them to keep them operating at their peak in terms of accuracy and reliability. You can start by devising a maintenance program and sticking with it. This article provides tips on how to set up key parts of that program.
Reducing a machine tool’s energy consumption helps achieve ‘green’ machining
Manufacturing is an energy-intensive activity. The U.S. government estimates that manufacturing consumes about one-third of the energy used in the country, stated Scott Hibbard, vice president of technology for Bosch Rexroth Corp., Hoffman Estates, Ill., in his paper "Six keys to sustainable manufacturing."
Fire suppression systems can protect machining centers—and your shop
Because they produce chips at high operating temperatures, often with oil-based coolants present, machine tools can easily catch fire. However, if shops plan ahead for this possibility by installing fire suppression systems, they can avoid catastrophic damage to the machine and the shop itself.
Tip-Top Productivity: Drilling Performance
Drilling, milling, EDMing, laser cutting, trepanning, punching; there are almost as many ways to make holes as there are holes to be made. Drilling, the most common holemaking method, itself includes many tool material and configuration options.
Tip-Top Productivity
CTE's July cover story examines drills with interchangeable carbidetips, while the accompanying video shows how interchangeable-tip drills permit quick inspection and replacement.
