Harder With Silicon: General Industry Coverage
Several types of cutting tools can be protected with coatings harder than regular A1TiN coatings by combining A1TiN grains with an amorphous silicon-nitride matrix.
New Rules of Engagement: General Industry Coverage
High-speed machining can improve productivity, but a shop will need to change its tool settings and toolpath strategies and experiment with feed rates to achieve this goal.
Hard Turn for the Better
With so much of the news focused on manufacturing lost to China, India and elsewhere, Illinois ProTurn is growing, doubling in size, says Dan Lamz, president of the McHenry, Ill., shop. The majority of the shop's work is in the plastic injection mold industry, and Lamz says the company's forté is hard turning.
High-Flying Parts: General Industry Coverage
To increase productivity, the aerospace industry should consider different tool materials for faster cutting speeds, tool coatings for reduced wear, and machine tools for quicker cycle times.
Youth Must Be Served: Workforce Development & Training
Companies work to interest youths in manufacturing through outreach efforts and partnerships with schools to offer courses that lead to college degrees in manufacturing.
Safeguarding Spindles: General Industry Coverage
Parts manufacturers can keep chips flying and maintain part accuracy by protecting their spindles against misuse, thermal expansion, collisions and penetration by coolant and metallic dust.
Chuck Checkout: General Industry Coverage
Gripping power, friction and hysteresis are important factors in selecting a 3-jaw chuck to maximize a CNC lathe's accuracy and horsepower.
Tool Spray
With through-tool minimum-quantity lubrication, machine shops may be able to decrease coolant costs and increase productivity and part quality. But, they have to invest in equipment and tooling to achieve those results.
Hard Tools for a Fine Finish
Superhard finishing tools may benefit machined parts via finer surface finishes, greater wear resistance and harder, stronger microstructures. Also, some of the tools can last longer than their conventional counterparts.
Keeping It Together: General Industry Coverage
Machine shops and other companies discuss the workpiece materials, machine tools and metalcutting processes needed to make the fasteners that keep aircraft and spacecraft together.
Farm Aid
Western Oklahoma job shop Kos Machine LLC makes it a point to help out local farmers. Follow along as Kos repairs an old Case tractor in this video slide show.
Youth Must Be Served
Watch how some companies are fighting the negative image of manufacturing with a clean, high-tech message aimed at youth.
