Becoming Familiar With Code: General Industry Coverage
With the advent of CAM software, generating G code is no longer the big deal it was a few decades ago. A CAM system will generate all the G code you need in a matter of seconds. Presented here is the first part of a multiple-part series of columns on the subject.
Mod Squad: 5-Axis Machining
If you use a pair of machinist's vises bolted to the bed of a vertical machining center and laboriously replace jaws for each new job or build fixtures from scratch and stick them on the shelf until the order repeats, listen up: Modular workholding saves time and money.
Improving Daily Management
Cutting Tool Engineering's Machinist's Corner columnist shares his experience with various continuous-improvement processes, such as 5S, kaizen events and gemba walks, and a recent rapid-improvement event. The target was the company's daily operations management.
Sound Shakes Up Machining
With an assist from sound that humans can't hear, machining can be a cooler and faster process—and yield more accurate results to boot, according to the September 2016 Machine Technology column in Cutting Tool Engineering magazine.
Bring on the Heat: General Industry Coverage
Get With The Program column offers a heightened appreciation for the roles that machining parameters and heat play when cutting metal.
Engineer-Speak: Inspection Efficiency
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing defines part geometry—and you should already know that.
Seco Machine on the right track
Manufacturer Seco Machine primarily serves the railroad industry while seeking to diversify.
Finite element analysis in the supply chain
As component design optimization tasks flow down the supply chain, finite element analysis programs proliferate.
Navigating customer portals: People & Companies
Internet portals won't transport you into the future—but your company will likely be using them soon if it is not already.
Pros and cons of indexable tools
The single most significant benefit offered by indexable tools is the ability to renew the cutting edge without having to remove the cutting tool from production.
Conversational programming for 5-axis machines
Five-axis programming is difficult, requires an expensive CAM system and an even more-expensive programmer to sit in front of a computer all day cranking out complicated G code. Right? Not necessarily.
Episode 31: Adept adapter question
In episode 31, Dr. Jeffrey Badger fields a question from a shop truing its diamond wheels offline, then remounting them onto the non-tapered spindle without using an adapter. The shop is wondering whether its tight wheel tolerances negate the need for an adapter. Visit The Grinding Doc website for more advice from Dr.
