Retrofitting old machines
Presented as an online supplement to Cutting Tool Engineering's August 2012 report on "New Life for Old Iron," the following video offers a look at several examples of machines retrofitted by Machines in Motion Inc. with the help of Centroid CNC controls, Yaskawa drives and motors, Magnescale positioning scales, and Atrump CNC machinery.
Adept adapter question
Dr. Jeffrey Badger, the host of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine's Grinding Doc Video Series, fields a question from a shop truing its diamond wheels offline, then remounting them onto the non-tapered spindle without using an adapter. The shop wondered whether its tight wheel tolerances negate the need for an adapter in the 31st episode of the video series.
