Tips for preventing workhardening when boring
One of the challenges when boring workpiece materials susceptible to workhardening is recognizing whether the prebored hole is already workhardened.
FMSes uncork bottlenecks: Turning Performance
Top managers at three manufacturers weigh in on the merits of flexible manufacturing systems.
Cybersecurity defenses found lacking for manufacturers
A report from global cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab, Woburn, Mass., found that in the first half of 2017, manufacturing was the industry most susceptible to cyberthreats, with the industrial control system computers of manufacturers accounting for almost a third of all attacks.
Eye-tracking studies said to reduce training time, improve safety
To reduce training time and improve worker safety in the high-risk environment of industrial manufacturing, Tobii Pro Insight administers eye-tracking studies.
Poll reveals CNC likes and dislikes
CTE's "CNC Chef," Bob Warfield, polled the readers of his CNCCookbook blog in September on what they like and dislike about their CNCs.
Raising the level of skills
Michael Deren, who writes the Machinist's Corner column for CTE, spent the holidays reflecting on a couple of events from 2017. One was his promotion at work. The other? Three machines failed within 24 hours.
Silo systems can’t maintain equipment
Some parts manufacturers try to manage their computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) with Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Access data-bases or stand-alone third-party applications. Although these methods offer incredible flexibility, six primary reasons exist for why they fail in all but the smallest of job shops.
Flat stones for fine finishing
Abrasive stones commonly found in machine shops are fine for run-of-the-mill deburring and abrading, but absolutely not suitable for precision stoning. For that, you need a pair of carefully prepared, precision-ground flat stones.
Added dimensions boost accuracy: General Industry Coverage
Part quality can suffer if a machine tool cannot hold tolerances uniformly everywhere in its "working envelope," the box-shaped region that defines a machine's 3D reach when cutting.
Speeding up lubrication: General Industry Coverage
The Röhm Lubritool enables automatic lubrication of tool-clamping sets. And, according to the manufacturer, it performs the job in seconds instead of minutes.
A here-and-now gage: Turning Performance
The Heidenhain Specto 3087 RC length gage reportedly increases productivity and efficiency, particularly in applications where it's not possible to clamp the workpiece on a separate device to inspect it. Instead, the gage integrates a highly accurate measuring process directly into the production process.
On-machine finishing saves valve maker time, money
