To float or not to float
At my shop and others I've been in contact with, cash flow and timely payment have become issues that require greater scrutiny. If that's the case at your shop, dealing with them effectively will be a test of your management skills.
Retrofit revitalization: Turning Performance
END USER: Helac Corp., (800) 327-2589, www.helac.com. CHALLENGE: Reduce maintenance and programming time on a large vertical turning center. SOLUTION: Retrofit the VTC with a new CNC and AC digital-axis servodrives and servomotors.
In-depth reliability: Drilling Performance
END USER: Machine Tech CNC, (780) 461-0890. CHALLENGE: Accurately bore 14 diameters deep and deeper. SOLUTION: Carbide-reinforced boring bars with built-in vibration damping.
Working in a coal mine
END USER: Cincinnati Mine Machinery Co., (513) 728-4040, www.cinmine.com. CHALLENGE: Improve throughput and maintain higher part-quality consistency. SOLUTION: A machining cell with 24 pallets and two horizontal machining centers.
Software simplifies linear drive selection
Get with the Program: CNC systems, metrology equipment and other types of machinery often require a linear motion component. This may be because of a need to move a cutting tool back and forth, position measuring probes, convey material or clear debris from the work area.
Solving a one-time problem: Drilling Performance
Part Time: While some shops shy away from difficult projects, others welcome them. According to Bob Perkins, president of PDS (Precision Defense Services) Industries, Irwin, Pa., the company has built its business on doing things others can't do.
Primer on the King of Machines: Manual Lathe Basics
The manual lathe remains the cornerstone of machining fundamentals. This guide explains why lathe basics still matter in training, setup work, and real shop operations.
Machine bed support key to accuracy
Machine Technology column: A machine tool bed serves several important functions. It supports the machine's moving elements and supports them in geometric relation to each other. The relationship between the moving elements is more important than the relationship between the moving elements and the ground the machine is based on.
Zeroing out Swiss: Turning Performance
When turning 2mm-dia. and smaller parts on a Swiss-style machine, it only makes sense that the radius on the tool should be equally tiny. After all, you can't cut a 0.5mm bone screw with a TNMG-431 insert—the tool's nose radius is nearly as big as the part.
Tech Cool 35052CF
Chemetall introduces Tech Cool 35052CF, a Generation V high performance semi-synthetic metalworking coolant.
