Raising the CNC Technology Bar
Overview of the new machine tool technologies introduced at IMTS 2000. Among them are linear motors for axes travels, ballscrew chillers, a new way to lubricate linear guideways and controlling machining processes via the Internet.
Sparkling Performance: Testing & Quality Assurance
Author discusses the advantages of CVD-diamond tools compared to other types of diamond tools. He also explains how CVD-diamond tools are manufactured and gives case histories involving their usage.
Clean Sweep: Testing & Quality Assurance
Equipping toolchangers with nylon abrasive-filament brushes can greatly enhance process economics and the flow of parts. Case histories of in-machine deburring operations support these contentions, and the author describes how such systems should work.
Vital Signs
How to recognize the signs that lead to bandsaw breakdowns.
Bond Smart: Trade Shows & Events
Discussion of different types of bonds used to make superabrasive grinding wheels. Author provides tables with price comparisons, physical properties and operating parameters for various bonds.
A Break in the Action
The author offers tips about making interrupted cuts while turning. He also discusses the differences between interrupted cuts in turning and milling and various types of materials.
Counting Dollars: Supply Chain & Logistics
Salaries earned by metalworking professionals, including machinists, production engineers, manufacturing engineers and corporate managers. Salaries are broken down by region, size of company and type of shop or manufacturing facility.
Silver Lining: Safety, Standards & Compliance
GE Superabrasives' silver-coated diamond crystal is designed for grinding tungsten carbide. Discussed are the benefits--reduced friction, greater crystal retention and a cooler grinding environment--and how to apply wheels made from the crystal.
Holding On: Drilling Performance
Discussion of different types of toolholders for lathes, including collets, drill chucks, bushings and keyless chucks. Author discusses best holder for different applications, based on his experiences.
Ceramics Take a Turn: Turning Performance
Author describes applications for the two basic types of ceramic turning inserts–alumina and silicon nitride–as well as the types of parts and materials users have turned with them. Specifics about speeds, feeds and DOCs are given.
Hands Free: Turning Performance
Shop owners who operate multitask machines talk about the time and cost benefits of producing parts in a single chucking. They also discuss some of the problems they had when adopting the technology. Accompanying Articles focus on a multitask users group and machine that hard-turns and grinds.
Size Matters
The trend toward developing finer and finer carbide grains continues. The author looks at recent developments in the production of nanosized tungsten-carbide grains, which are smaller than 0.2 microns in diameter. Though not used widely at present for the production of cutting tools, some predict that will change as the technology evolves.
