As the Tap Turns: Turning Performance
Tapping isn't easy and one of the toughest challenges is preventing oversized threads. New tools can help. Read these tips from YG-1 Tool Co. and take a look at a 2-minute video of the company's slideshow presentation on multifunctional taps.
New Balance: Inspection Efficiency
Manufacturers continue to make process improvements in everything from surface finish to grinding wheel life, but one of the simplest improvements is leveling an out-of-tolerance machine.
Testing Hyper-Carbide limits: Turning Performance
When SRL Nano Corp. developed carbide-grade tools that use a patented binder material with a melting threshold similar to that of carbide—about 2,870º C, naturally the Rosemead, Calif., company dubbed the new material Hyper-Carbide. And once you view the video below that captures a series of cutting tool tests, it's easy to see why.
Presetting plus
Productive machining is all about keeping spindles turning and making chips. Time spent touching off tools, adjusting tool length and offsets in the spindle and doing test cuts is time—and money—wasted. That's the value proposition presented by manufacturers of tool presetters, and it's one that, surprisingly, is a bit of a hard sell in some shops.
Threading Large
Presented as an online supplement to "Threading Large"—the December 2010 Cutting Tool Engineering article about thread milling large bore diameters—Allied Machine & Engineering Corp. provides a quick video demonstration of its AccuThread 856 Threadmill cutting in 6061 aluminum.
Testing Hyper-Carbide limits
Scott Gore, a technical support specialist with Setech Inc., Murfreesboro, Tenn., provides the commentary for a series of Hyper-Carbide cutting tool tests captured on video. Presented as a supplement to an Industry News item in Cutting Tool Engineering's December 2010 issue, this brief report includes video supplied by Setech and SRL Nano Corp., a California company specializing in high-strength cutting materials.
Tired of all the chatter
In the 14th episode of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine's Grinding Doc Video Series, Dr. Jeffrey Badger helps a shop that's getting chatter when performing multi-pass cylindrical OD grinding. Though the shop keeps dropping the plunge speeds, nothing seems to help. They ask the host of the Grinding Doc Video Series what they can do?
Feederplus6
With the FEEDERplus6, STROTHMANN has proved that a transfer system which unloads, orients, and feeds parts into presses all by itself can work more efficiently than double feeders or articulated arm robots, especially in small press gaps.
Nanovea Jr25, 3D Non Contact Portable Profilometer
The Nanovea Jr25, 3D Non Contact Portable Profilometer—with an optional battery pack and carrying case—provides measurement capability rarely available during field study. The Jr25 is designed to easily utilize leading-edge optical pens using superior white light axial chromatism measurement.
Electric ball screw scissor lift table
EnKon Systems recently introduced a new electric ball screw lift table for automation and robotic applications that require maximum control. Control features such as long standing static load positioning, accurate repeatability and speed directed by variable frequency drives are said to provide manufacturing or assembly plants with the power needed to improve their application's operation.
V10Z31-… Series
A new series of damped-type spring mounts from Advanced Antivibration Components are designed for use in corrosive environments with loads from 150 to 750 lbs.
PartMaker Version 2011
PartMaker Inc., a division of Delcam Plc, has released PartMaker Version 2011, the latest version of PartMaker Software for programming CNC Mills, Lathes, WireEDM, Turn-Mill Centers and Swiss-type Machines.
