Today’s manufacturers are under pressure to be more flexible, reduce downtime and costs and increase efficiencies.
Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions will install Zeiss AICell trace at a premier electric vehicle manufacturer in North America in 2020. The correlation-free measuring cell is the most accurate, shop floor car body robotic process and quality control system on the market.
BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc., Hoffman Estates, Illinois, a manufacturer of premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions for the metalworking industries, is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
The ML75P collects thousands of data samples from the vibrating tool tip within milliseconds.
Hainbuch America Corp., Germantown, Wis., offers a modular workholding system with maximum flexibility and designed for a wide range of part diameters, configurations and small quantities.
For the highest levels of competitive benchrest and extreme long-range (ELR) shooting, feats of precision manufacturing and machining are required for success. Like Formula 1 racing cars or PGA golfers’ clubs, world-class competition rifles are made with highly engineered precision parts.
Live tooling, as the name implies, is driven by the CNC and the turrets of various spindle and powered sub-spindle configurations on CNC lathes.
February 2020 U.S. cutting tool consumption totaled $188.2 million, according to the U.S. Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI) and AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology.
Unlike its name, the use of shrink-fit tooling is expanding. A shrink-fit toolholder starts with a slightly undersize bore that is heated to enlarge the inner diameter enough to accept a cutting tool and then grip the cutter as it cools and contracts.
The system provides real-time monitoring of spindle elongation on machine tools due to temperature changes or other causes of displacement.
