Trending to turning
Holding a few tenths tolerance on a piece of 60-HRC steel was once the domain of expensive grinding equipment. Today, it's no big deal.
Inside and out: Turning Performance
Similar to a multitask machine, a machine tool that combines ID and OD grinding enables producing a part in one chucking.
Meeting the workholding challenge: Turning Performance
In my August column, I described several common applications for workholding when turning, where the cutting tool is static and the workpiece spins. There are several standard workholders for turning, which were illustrated.
Apparent mass of moving machine elements
The moving elements of a machine tool have mass. Forces from the actuators cause the masses to move and accelerate. As the speed of the machine tool motion increases, the ability of the actuators to cause acceleration becomes more important.
Achieving reasonable wheel wear: General Industry Coverage
Dear Doc: I grind fine threads into hardened stainless steel with a fine-mesh aluminum-oxide wheel. The threads are 0.8mm deep in a 5mm-dia. ID. There are three threads per part. This operation just chews through the wheel, and I get only one part before I have to dress a 0.2mm depth in my 4mm-dia. wheel. What am I doing wrong?
Tips for a manual milling machine
In my October column, I explained how the design of manual milling machines could be improved. This month, I share some tips for enhancing the operation of a manual mill.
Achieving flexible workholding: Turning Performance
Combustion components from Mitsubishi Power Systems had never been built outside of Japan until Savannah Machinery Works opened its doors in November 2010. We were in the unique and challenging position of having to develop every manufacturing process from scratch while maintaining a tight production schedule.
Simple activities, amazing benefits: CMM Inspection
A machine shop can become a messy place if you don't stay on top of it. If you've visited other shops, you've probably observed what I've seen over the years—a few that are spotless and well-maintained, and others that look like a cave, with little thought or care given to the work environment. Most shops are somewhere in between. We maintain a decent shop, which consists of machining and fabrication departments in separate areas, but it takes constant effort to keep it that way.
What manufacturing skills gap?: Industry Trends & Analysis
Many reasons are given, including the bad image of manufacturing, lack of training in high schools and competition from other economic sectors. All of these reasons seem plausible. But now comes a study by The Boston Consulting Group, a management consulting firm, that seems to throw cold water on the idea of a serious skills gap. According to the authors, the skills gap in U.S. manufacturing is more limited than many believe. The study is part of BCG's ongoing "Made in America, Again" study, which examines the changing economics of manufacturing.
NuSol Lubriform Superior
NuSol Lubriform Superior is a new forming technology that Chemtool Inc. has introduced to the metal forming industry for the forming of ferrous metals and exotic alloys.
Machining STRATEGIST V14.0
Vero Software has released Machining STRATEGIST V14, a multi-axis CAM solution that generates optimal High Speed CNC toolpaths for both the office and shop-floor environment.
Morris University
In business today it's not enough to have great products and procedures. In order to thrive, companies must have committed and knowledgeable employees. Morris Group Inc. came to this realization and took bold steps to ensure that its employees have the necessary educational resources readily available.
