Knight Carbide issues case study on custom inserts
Knight Carbide recently issued this animated case study involving the production of a custom part radius for a hollow mill operation. The objective was to eliminate bird nesting, reduce machine down time and increase performance.View Knight Carbide's animated case study below.
Amada demos S-10 machine
Amada Machine Tools demonstrated its new S-10 modular multitask machine during a recent press briefing at its Technical Center in Schaumburg, Ill.
No time to dwell
During rotary plunge dressing, a shop worker would like to know if dwelling for 2 seconds is the right amount of time. Dr. Jeffrey Badger, the host of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine's Grinding Doc Video Series, says it's not a matter of time.
Raising the Bar
Bar feeders, once known as slow and inefficient 'rattle tubes,' are now high-speed, automated units.
Plunge Milling Improves Metal Removal in Deep Machining
Significant progress in metalworking productivity most often results from the combined efforts of toolmakers, machine tool builders and software developers. Plunge, or Z-axis, milling is a good example.
Pumping Up Production: Drilling Performance
As the U.S. strives to become less dependent on foreign energy sources, energy producers are increasingly employing hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," to drill shale deposits and extract natural gas and some oil. That booming market requires a range of parts from shops around the country.
Race to the Finish: General Industry Coverage
Where there are drilled holes, there are burrs. The only question is how large the burrs will be, according to Dave Lopes, vice president of sales and marketing for Cogsdill Tool Products Inc., Camden, S.C.
Building Growth: Medical Manufacturing
Dynomax Inc. is taking self sufficiency to a new level. For example, while machine tool builders often use their machines to produce parts for making other machines, Dynomax stands out by building machines for its own contract part manufacturing operation.
Diverse gear making: General Industry Coverage
As demand for vehicle transmissions and other systems requiring quieter, more compact and lighter gear mechanisms increases, gear manufacturers seek to continually boost productivity while lowering costs.
Soft machine
Robust and stiff often come to mind when considering the characteristics that make for a productive milling machine. However, Juanjo Zulaika, a researcher at the applied-research center Tecnalia Research & Innovation, thought otherwise and developed a "softer" milling machine with reduced weight and stiffness. That's achieved while increasing productivity.
Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill!: Drilling Performance
States near the Marcellus Shale, a huge natural gas formation centered in Pennsylvania, are feverishly pursuing a $4 billion ethane "cracker" to be built by Royal Dutch Shell. The cracker will process ethane-rich gas from the Marcellus Shale into ethylene, and the ethylene will be used by the pharmaceutical, chemical and plastics industries.
Measuring machine productivity
Many large corporations are well versed in total productive maintenance, but smaller companies are probably not. To learn more about the concept, I attended a 1-day seminar about TPM at a local technical college.
