Throwback Thursday: History of Tools
With the August 1985 issue, Cutting Tool Engineering launched a decade-long series of articles titled, "History of Tools." The first installment, which you can download and read by clicking here, began as the ultimate Throwback Thursday endeavor: urging readers with their eyes on the future to recall the machine tool industry's humble beginnings. So, yeah, The Stone Age.
ATX Series Linear Positioning Stages
Aerotech's ATX series linear positioning stages combine the performance capabilities of a high-precision crossed-roller-bearing positioner with the convenience and simplicity of a ballscrew drive mechanism. Enhanced motion performance and a variety of advanced options and features offer value and make the ATX series a suitable choice for use in high-performance applications.
Mastercam 2019 Public Beta
Mastercam 2019 Public Beta is now open to all currently maintained Mastercam customers. Shops all over the world, from small job shops to Fortune 100, get a chance to test-drive Mastercam 2019 before it is released and provide valuable feedback to help shape the final product.
AMO LMF 9310 Multisection Linear Encoder
HEIDENHAIN announces the addition of the AMO LMF 9310 multisection linear encoder to its line of robust linear encoders. This TTL encoder is specifically designed for applications over 10' on manually operated machines and is compatible with HEIDENHAIN's ACU-RITE brand of digital readouts.
Time to sell or buy a used CNC?
Some tool builders in the expanding economy are having a hard time obtaining machine components, which is delaying production, said Logan McGhan, technical salesman at KD Capital Equipment LLC, Scottsdale, Ariz., a machinery dealer specializing in used CNC machinery, plastic molding machinery and sheet metal fabrication.
Near-Earth objects
If you're reading this, it means that Earth wasn't destroyed. On Feb. 9, the asteroid 2018 CB passed overhead with just 39,000 miles to spare—well within the moon's orbit and, by outer space standards, way too close for comfort.
Episode 87: Matching coolant velocity to wheel velocity
How do you know your coolant velocity? The Grinding Doc says the best — and perhaps most accurate — way to determine coolant exit velocity is with the Ol' Bucket & Stopwatch Technique. It'll take five minutes and tell you how close you are to wheel speed.
Dedicated Sliding Head Auto Lathe Tooling
ARNO dedicated sliding head auto lathe tooling offers high accuracy and reliable machining of all components, in all materials. This type of lathe often performs highly accurate machining of long, thin and often small components.
Ways to avoid the hack attacks
Manufacturers are ripe targets for hackers. According to a report from IBM Security, the manufacturing industry moved into the position of second most attacked industry in 2015, behind health care.
‘FightMax’ Endmill Series
With the "FightMax" mill series, the tool manufacturer Inovatools is sending a winner into the ring for machining steel materials.
AutoLoader Automatic Infeed Station for Cross-Cutting Saw Systems
Last year TigerStop announced the addition of the AutoLoader, an automatic infeed station for the TigerSaw 1000 and TigerSaw 2000 fully automated cross-cutting saw systems for wood and metal, respectively. TigerStop announces that the AutoLoader is now compatible with TigerStop automated material pushers and positioners, as well as TigerTurbo high-speed automated pushers for material weighing up to 840 lbs.
A growing market for colossal components
As product miniaturization continues, micromachining continues to make inroads into the manufacturing industry, and CTE will once again provide a special section about micromachining in our May issue. At the other end, I've noticed more developments in large-part machining, and, coincidentally, our April issue will include a focus on that topic.
