About 8 years ago or so, I turned 50 and decided it was time for a solo skydive. And, just for the record, I jumped from 13,000 feet ... not 30,000 feet, though the lack of oxygen at that altitude would have made a great excuse for not pulling the rip cord. More about the altitude in a moment. First ...
Since 1978, MIP has designed and manufactured high quality tools and aftermarket parts for high-performance RC race cars. In recent years, MIP saw demand for their products increase significantly, especially their world-renowned hex wrenches. MIP turned to Excalibur Tools and FANUC America to design and build an automated six-axis grinding center that resulted in a 300% increase in production.
Are you maximizing your Profile Milling efficiency? Constant profile ramping is a much more effective approach than conventional Z-level profiling. Watch side-by-side as a Dapra 1” end mill (50 IPM / .100” DOC) using constant ramp profile outpaces a traditional 1° helix entry and Z-level rough by more than 50%.
The purposefully affordable GENOS M460V-5AX is a full simultaneous 5-axis machine specifically designed for high-precision manufacturing from the most demanding materials.
Hurco has focused on developing control technology that helps shops increase productivity and profitability for 50 years. Since switching from conventional 3-axis to 5-sided machining is the most efficient way to instantly increase productivity and profitability, Hurco has focused on machines and control technology that make the transition easy.
Double your feed rates with the Stabilizer 2.0 from Niagara Cutter. This family of end mills raises the bar in high performance milling by incorporating a patented continuously varying asymmetrical geometry which helps create a smooth, chatter free milling condition.
Blanchard grinding has typically been a manual process for many shops. The simplicity of the dials and handwheels found on Blanchard grinders still work well and get the job done. However, there’s an even easier way to run a Blanchard through the addition of a CNC.
The Grinding Doc examines the forces at work when cylindrical grinding produces round workpieces one minute, then something resembling a fried egg or a flower the next.
