Innovative Tools Remove the Jagged Edges October 1, 2014 Don’t overlook advanced technology available for removing the gnarliest burrs from parts large or small
The Increasingly Perfected Science of Machining Composites April 1, 2015 A 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 shown at the Detroit Auto Show was additively manufactured on a Cincinnati BAAMCI machine by DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), one of seven founding members of the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation. The Detroit IACMI branch will get $70 million to develop a robust supply chain to improve materials, handling, and machining properties for automotive composites.
Sandvik Coromant Announces Metalcutting Collaboration with Autodesk December 3, 2020 Sandvik Coromant has announced a new partnership with Autodesk. The collaboration was officially announced on November 17, 2020 at Autodesk University 2020 — an online conference for design and manufacturing.
Innovations in Medical Manufacturing October 28, 2020 Medical manufacturing, like other industries, faces intensive demands for improved productivity. As a result, many manufacturers are focused on achieving greater efficiencies and precision in making small parts.
YG-1 Launches High-Feed Milling Series For Narrow and Long-Reach Apps June 10, 2020 YG-1 has launched the ENMX High-Feed Mill, a new high-feed milling series developed for mold and die, power generation and a variety of applications and materials in general machining markets.
Flexibility as a Fundamental Weapon Against COVID-19 May 1, 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic is causing major upheavals both in people’s lives and in the manufacturing world. One of the main problems that even the most developed nations are facing is a shortage of personal protection equipment (PPE), including masks, glasses, gowns, safety suits, and fans.
Toolpath Simulation, Optimization Boosts Part Manufacturing for Fixtures February 2, 2021 Those who manufacture precision workholding systems have the same goals and challenges as the machinists who use them. Both groups strive to reduce setup times and optimize cutting cycles. Secure, consistent, and accurate gripping is paramount.
New Cutter Bodies Boost Feed Rates, Lower Cycle Times on Very Large Parts January 28, 2021 A few years ago, two companies joined forces to greatly enhance productivity in heavy milling and crankshaft machining. Their combined efforts resulted in solutions to improve throughput and reduce costs by a factor of four in some cases.
The Sharpest Tool in the Box January 21, 2021 The word “reconditioned” can ignite visions of worn, overworked products inferior to new ones. The reality is as long as you purchase from a reputable supplier, reconditioned cutting tools will deliver the same consistent results as they did upon initial purchase.
Rising to Toolholding Challenges October 21, 2020 Difficult materials and high-speed machining don’t just present problems for cutting tools. They can also push toolholders to their limits—and beyond. So manufacturers offer a variety of products designed to get the toolholding job done under extreme machining conditions.
