Cutting Time for Facing: Quick Guide
Facing time calculations change depending on whether spindle speed stays constant or surface speed is held constant. This guide explains the math shops use to estimate cycle time.
Small But Mighty: 5-Axis Machining
New technology opens up new applications for small HMCs.
Hunting for Reliability: Drilling Performance
Hunting Energy Services not only machines oil and gas drilling components—it assembles and repairs the tools that do the work.
Power Surge: Inspection Efficiency
Manufacturing parts for the nuclear energy industry, which is growing globally, is expected to expand in the U.S. as well. Three shops explain their strategies to capitalize on the growing market.
The Hole Edge: Drilling Performance
Machining a clean, straight and in-tolerance hole through a part is not the only requirement for many holemaking applications. In many cases, hole entrances and exits are also critical to part functionality.
Reactor overview
Tour the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactor, presented as a video complement to our March cover story.
Finding the sweet spot
One wheel sales guy says finding the sweet spot on a wheel is all about material-removal rates. Another guy keeps talking about wheel speed. A shop turned to Dr. Jeffrey Badger, the host of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine's Grinding Doc Video Series, to find out who's right in the 17th episode of the video series.
P30 Positioning Sensor
SICK announced it has launched the Inspector P30 Positioning Sensor. The Inspector P series offers a flexible method for part location and provides a precise positioning point of a known target.
Nano-Ceramic Grease
New DAYLube high performance grease, which uses nanoceramic particles that act as sub-microscopic ball bearings to provide continuous lubrication to steel surfaces, is now available in 1 and 5-gallon pails from Dayton Progress Inc.
Pero R1
Peros R1 vacuum solvent cleaning systems from ZPS America LLC is suitable for any type of machined or formed metal components that can fit into a standard 530 x 365 x 250mm basket (other sizes are available as special order).
