Selecting and using the best gages
Tiny medical parts, mass-produced automotive components and multiple-ton power generation parts share a common activity: inspection. Generally, inspection is seen as a nonvalue-added activity and most companies encourage the reduction of inspection time. However, because verifying that parts are made correctly is critical to maintaining profitability, inspection will never go away.
Lost art of flame straigthening
>Flame straightening is one of those old-timer skills everybody has heard of but few have had the opportunity to witness. The ability to straighten bent plates and shafts is almost magical in its simplicity.
Milling heads don’t get the shaft
Overcome excessive tool wear and poor surface finishes when machining flats on a steel truck shaft. A milling tool that exerts all cutting forces downward and cuts freely.
Shop cleans up its act with MQL
Eliminate excess coolant to improve shop floor safety and cleanliness. Minimum quantity lubrication systems.
Protecting digital assets: People & Companies
Machine shops need lots of tangible assets to make parts: machine tools, cutting tools and real estate, among other items.
Plan to replace retirees: General Industry Coverage
What is your company doing to replace its retiring workforce?
Fixing linear positioning errors: General Industry Coverage
In a typical machine-tool-axis positioning system, the workpiece is mounted on a table that slides along flat, straight guide ways. The table may be supported on the guide ways by rolling elements or by a thin film of oil or grease. A screw controls the table position along the guide way.
Teflon on steroids: General Industry Coverage
The creation of superhydrophobic metals using femtosecond lasers.
Wave control: General Industry Coverage
New metamaterials that 'bend' acoustic and elastic waves.
Creating visibility with the cloud
Most manufacturers have made great strides in optimizing operations. Many have even standardized multiple facilities with the same on-premise software to create consistency across the enterprise. However, no matter how many procedures are put in place, each plant has its own idiosyncrasies, making it nearly impossible for systems to communicate with each other.
Choosing wire EDM workholders: Turning Performance
There comes a time when some chipmaking shops add wire EDMing to their repertoire. This is often done to reduce costs, because bringing what were once subcontracted, secondary EDMing operations in-house often makes good financial and logistical sense.
Smooth roughing: Turning Performance
Software for high-efficiency roughing makes moldmaking faster, more efficient.
