Adding value with single-piece part flow
Since the May issue, I have been writing about our combustion shop's migration from batch processing to single-piece flow, or machining one part at a time. Single-piece flow eliminates work in process. This is desirable because WIP hides part defects and increases lead times and inventory levels.
Even more tips for operating a CNC mill
Continuing the theme of the previous three columns, here are additional tips for enhancing the operation of a CNC milling machine from Shop Operations columnist Tom Lipton.
Replace an outdated vertical machining center with a new one
Boost productivity when machining hubs and other parts. Replace an outdated vertical machining center with a new one.
Light trumps water: General Industry Coverage
Reduce energy costs as part of a sustainability program. Replace a waterjet cutting machine with a fiber optic laser cutting machine.
Unmanned machining with confidence
Eliminate part deviations when performing lights-out machining. CAM software with the properly adjusted post-processor for automatically measuring parts on a machine tool.
What goes around, comes around
Representing your company through community involvement accomplishes two goals. Hopefully, you're doing something positive and, in return, raising the reputation of you and your company. You may also gain access to another network of valuable contacts and potential leads.
Spindle bearing preload increases stiffness
Spindle bearings support the spindle in the housing and transmit cutting forces to the machine structure. The bearings are intended to hold the spindle accurately in position.
Designing diamond: General Industry Coverage
A new R&D center for synthetic diamond.
The dog days of manufacturing
As I'm writing this in mid-July, we're experiencing uncomfortably hot and muggy weather in the Chicago area. I worked up a sweat just walking the dogs this morning -- and they walk pretty slowly. It's hard to want to do much of anything. That description seems to fit the U.S. economy in general and manufacturing in particular.
Hardened by light: General Industry Coverage
The advantages of heat treating parts with 1µm-wavelength lasers.
Time to part: Turning Performance
In parting, or cut-off, operations, the objective is to efficiently and securely separate one part of the workpiece from the other. To achieve this, a straight cut is made to a depth that equals the radius of a bar, or workpiece.
Worry free: Medical Manufacturing
Antipullout toolholders reduce scrap, increase tool life and eliminate anxiety while milling.
