A strong, but light-load-bearing metal nano-composite
Talk about composites in most machine shops usually refers to carbon-fiber material, though "composites" may refer to a variety of mixed materials going back to the mud-and-straw structures made in ancient times. The latest example: A new metal nanocomposite composed of magnesium infused with a dense and even dispersal of ceramic-silicon-carbide nanoparticles.
A new tooling, software combination to speed blisk production
Autodesk CAM software developer Delcam Ltd., working with toolmaker Technicut Ltd., has created a software and cutting tool combination for machining blisks that reportedly reduces machining time and costs about 50 percent compared to traditional methods.
Becoming familiar with CAD: General Industry Coverage
CNC machining takes a blend of computer skills and machining skills. Some competent machinists, especially old-timers, lack the computer skills needed to go from print to part using CNC machines. I previously lacked the computer skills, but couldn't tolerate not having complete control of the jobs I was running.
We are going to the show
This issue of CTE includes our IMTS 2016 Show Preview, featuring show highlights, information about the various pavilions, a guide to Chicago attractions and an extensive array of announcements about what exhibitors plan to showcase. The latter includes machine tools, software, workholders, automation equipment and cutting tools.
Short pulses offer long-term gains
You might think laser pulse lengths measured in nanoseconds—that is, billionths of a second—are short. But they're long compared to those of picosecond (a trillionth of a second) and femtosecond (a quadrillionth of a second) lasers, which are known as ultrashort-pulse lasers.
Grinding sensitive parts
Our supplier in Asia is grinding hardened-steel parts and sending them to us for final processing. Some of them are cracking, so we're going to visit the supplier. What should we be looking for?
Monitoring machines in real time
If you're considering implementing a real-time machine monitoring system and looking for solid reasons to make the investment, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Real-time machine monitoring and overall equipment effectiveness software can help address many issues, whether they're obvious or not.
Making light work: CMM Inspection
The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences is helping industry develop lightweight automotive parts from nontraditional materials.
An unexpected role: People & Companies
This summer has been hectic, both professionally and personally. The business side has been a roller coaster, requiring intense management. Personally, I had the pleasure of seeing my third of four kids graduate from high school and begin developing an interest in our family business.
TU Chemnitz opens high-precision machining center
With a high-precision machining center placed in the Institute for Machine Tools and Production Processes, researchers are entering into a new dimension in micromanufacturing.
Machine tool falloff shows sinking capital investment
With demand for machine tools still weak in China and a drop-off in Japan, capital investment is losing momentum worldwide, according to a Nikkei Asian Review report.
Klarm China promote large machined parts
Klarm specializes in creating precision machining parts, prototypes and components.
