A Cutting Moment
Travis Biggs, applications engineer, technical service, for Greenleaf Corp., offers the nitty gritty on the tools used in this 1 minute and 40 second video featuring a 5/8" ball nose tool followed by the company's Extreme Feed Mill 1" dia., 4-tooth cutting tool.
Chopper Shop: General Industry Coverage
A small, Philadelphia-area shop is using a 55,000-psi, 2,000-mph abrasive waterjet to help grow its primary business: making parts for Boeing aircraft.
Calculated Grinding
Parts manufacturers can calculate the optimal parameters when grinding with superabrasive wheels to achieve high material-removal rates and more consistent results.
PCD in the Fast Lane
Improving medium-grade PCD for high-speed milling, including interrupted milling of high-silicon aluminum.
(Non) Risky Business: People & Companies
Thinking about and managing the risks of operating a job shop and machining parts is a straightforward process when using tools such as risk matrices and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.
Mitigating Mist: General Industry Coverage
There are several good ways to design and install a mist collection system. Choosing the right design depends on a shop's size and needs.
Bantam Broaching: General Industry Coverage
Manufacturers use broaching to make small parts for medical and aerospace applications.
From Design to Part: Design & Engineering
It's not just for prototyping; additive, or rapid, manufacturing can be a cost-effective way of producing parts, especially when used for mass customization of parts and for low-volume runs of smaller, complex, net- and near net-shape parts.
Coming to More Shops Soon?
High-power laser machines—at least 5,000w—are more useful in machine shops because their power permits fast processing of thicker materials, materials more like the blocks machined by the metalcutting industry. Also, automation allows for more cost-effective laser machining.
Ceramic Healing: Medical Manufacturing
Advanced ceramics' properties make them suitable materials for medical instruments and implants, as well as for parts in medical devices. Making ceramic parts, however, requires manufacturing techniques similar to those used to make P/M parts and may require applying diamond-impregnated tools and wheels.
Cast Contents: General Industry Coverage
Choosing the right cast aluminum and aluminum alloys from among the hundreds of different grades and the many tempers in each grade requires understanding of the materials' designation system to know their compositions, tempers and properties.
Chips Happen: General Industry Coverage
When single-point boring, parts manufacturers can break and control the long chips from low-carbon steels by taking into account setup, cutting parameters, nose radii and insert shape and sharpness.
