Workholding: Building chucks to hold wheels
One requirement of precision wheel manufacturing is secure, accurate workholding. But Jay Duerr, president of LMC Workholding Inc., Logansport, Ind., said it goes much further than that. "The biggest requirement in this industry is good customer support."
Machine Technology: Building ‘monster’ machines
Machine tool builder Zimmermann Inc., Wixom, Mich., the U.S. arm of Neuhausen, Germany-headquartered Zimmermann GmbH, specializes in very large machine tool installations. The company offers milling machines with working ranges from 2.5m to 30m (8.2' to 98.4') along the X-axis and from 3m to 6m (9.8' to 19.7') along the Y-axis.
Cleaning corrupt CAD models: 5-Axis Machining
Job shops commonly receive corrupted or "dirty" CAD files from their customers. These files must be cleaned or repaired before toolpaths for machining the workpiece can be created. Software solutions like SpaceClaim, developed by ANSYS Inc., can fix dirty models, with the end goal of creating "watertight" solids ready for machining.
One year into the future at GE
GE Power opened its "Factory of the Future," the 125,000-sq.-ft. Advanced Manufacturing Works (AMW) facility in Greenville, S.C., with great fanfare in April 2016. So, what's futuristic about the place?
Colson Group reshores manufacturing: People & Companies
Colson Group USA, a manufacturer of casters, wheels and other mobility products, continues to make significant investments to its production and distribution operations while reshoring some manufacturing.
Advancements in edge finders: General Industry Coverage
Some might argue that edge finders, center finders and wigglers, which have been used for decades to touch off workpieces during machine setup, are a bit too analog for today's digital world.
Toolmaker targets titanium
Without a doubt, cutting tools for machining titanium must be well-engineered. This was reinforced for CTE Editor Alan Richter while attending Horn Technology Days 2017, held May 10 to 12 at Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrik Paul Horn GmbH, Tübingen, Germany.
LeanDrum CF Washer
Ransohoff has introduced its LeanDrum CF Washer. This new platform provides an energy-efficient, reliable solution for high-volume cleaning needs, along with a design for cold forming applications.
PCBN Insert Grades
Seco Tools has expanded its family of PCBN insert grades to cover the entire spectrum of hard turning applications. Using a new bimodal substrate and nanolaminate coating process, these new inserts extend tool life and increase productivity in a broader range of applications.
Collet Pad Jaws
Collet pad top jaw systems from Dillon Manufacturing Inc. can convert through-hole chucks to hold small bar and tube stock. Collet pads can be changed quickly maximizing production time, and the jaws can be adapted to many styles of chucks, making them ideal for special purpose function machining.
Super Speed Tip Drill Bits
Walter Surface Technologies announces the introduction of SST (Super Speed Tip) drill bits in the United States.
Ultrafine Filtration of Grinding Oils and Cooling Lubricants
The ultrafine filtration of grinding oils and cooling lubricants is a specialized "discipline" in the overall process of the tool manufacturing. With their efficient and reliable technology, the German filtration specialist VOMAT says it has earned an excellent reputation in the metalworking industry.
