Short-notice flexibility: Drilling Performance
Increase flexibility and repeatability when machining high-volume auto parts. A hydraulic stationary clamping system.
Turning center is precise to a ‘tee’
Bring outsourced parts in-house that were being milled and machine them on a CNC lathe. A 6-axis turning center equipped with a bar feeder.
Smarter online marketing: People & Companies
Keith Jennings, our Manager's Desk columnist, this month responds to readers asking for tips to increase sales, and, yes, his answer emphasizes the need for a Web presence and social media.
Vibrations indicate bearing damage: General Industry Coverage
Many machine tool spindles are supported in the housing by rolling-element bearings. Cutting forces, spindle unbalance and spindle preload impose cyclic loads on the bearing's balls and races. Over time, the cyclic loading produces fatigue failure, damaging the surfaces of races and balls. This kind of damage causes vibration and noise, limits bearing life and eventually requires bearing replacement.
Tool warming
A through-spindle and through-tool laser-assisted milling process.
Dust not in the wind

Good morning AM: Design & Engineering
Is it morning in America -- and the world -- for additive manufacturing? That's looking more and more likely. While AM, also known as 3D printing, is well-established as a process for making prototype parts, it's making serious inroads into production -- where the real money is.
HMC transformations: 5-Axis Machining
By their very nature, horizontal machining centers are among the best friends a shop can have if it hopes to remain agile and competitive in this brave new world of low-volume, high-complexity machining.
Soaring aerospace parts: General Industry Coverage
With a global commercial aircraft order backlog recently valued at $920 billion, jetliner and jet-engine builders are placing volumes of part orders not seen for many years -- if ever.
Supersonic grinding
High-speed grinding can provide great gains when grinding outside diameters.
Kings of the mountain
With a focus on machining large parts in multifunctional mill/turn machines, QualTech Industries quickly attracted customers after opening 4 years ago in Kings Mountain, N.C.
Hydro power: Drilling Performance
