High-Speed Air-Bearing Ultraprecision Spindles
If you are looking for product quality improvements that only an ultraprecision tooling spindle can provide, and also require the robustness of an industrial grade design, Precitech says the ASD-H25 and ASD-Cx high-speed air-bearing ultraprecision tooling spindles by Levicron are precisely what you need.
Look Ahead: All together now
The toii Platform, created by thyssenkrupp Materials Services GmbH, is said to effectively communicate with a wide array of systems and devices that will help fulfill the promise of the industrial internet of things (IIoT).
Look Ahead: Securing robots’ ‘personal space’
Collaborative robotics has three aspects: the human, the robot and the workspace where the task is to be completed. Much of the media coverage has focused exclusively on the robots themselves.
Productive Times: Slicing through the challenge
End User: DoubleStar Corp., (888) 736-7725, www.star15.com; Solution Provider: DP Technology Corp., (800) 627-8479, www.espritcam.com; Challenge: Write CNC programs to efficiently machine knives. Solution: 3D milling strategies in a CAM program.
Shop considers investing in 5-axis machining
If your shop makes parts that demand multiple setups, parts that have challenging geometry or parts with difficult GD&T requirements, 5-axis machining could provide significant benefits. Do not let the potential cost of the investment prevent you from conducting a thorough cost analysis of your current machining methods.
Navigating safety regulations: Safety, Standards & Compliance
Navigating and complying with OSHA regulations can frustrate companies, particularly when the regulations are inconsistently enforced.
Chamfers and Countersinks That Halt Burr Formation
Chamfers and countersinks help control burr formation, improve thread starts, and protect hole quality. This guide explains where each operation fits and how tooling choices affect results.
Modular fixturing pros and cons
Modular fixturing at its best offers the stability and accuracy of dedicated workholding with the flexibility to be reconfigured quickly for a variety of parts. But sometimes compatibility issues arise.
Save time by setting tools offline with a presetter
The benefits of presetting are somewhat intangible; it takes a little digging to actually understand how much time is spent manually setting tools and what impact that has on shop throughput and profitability.
Machinist’s Corner: A look at D-O-W-N-T-I-M-E
The October 2017 Machinist's Corner column explains the "eight wastes of lean," for which there is an acronym known as DOWNTIME: Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Nonutilized talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion and Extra processing.
Get With the Program: Right from wrong
Advanced CAM software provides the additional modeling that is needed to achieve total part quality, according to the Get With the Program column in the October 2017 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine.
Perpendicularity: key to machining good parts
Checking perpendicularity is a recurring theme on the shop floor—one that deserves detailed discussion and special tools, according to the Shop Operations column in the October 2017 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering.
