The well-established field of laser marking continues to break new ground with expanding business opportunities in automotive, oil and gas, medical and other industries.

Typically, components produced for the oil and gas field are very large, very heavy and often have complex contours, making the machining time long and the tool life short. The DMU 50, although an entry-level five-axis machining center from DMG Mori, is a compact unit that features considerable strength.

There is no real problem with threading a pipe. Most DIY types can do it in their workshop with hand tools, but when the pipe is 40′ long and ordered by the ton, you are in oil country. Pumping crude oil out of the ground requires drill pipe, casing, tool joints, tees, crosses, flanges, and couplings. All those items need to be machined. And that takes specialized workholding.

With larger turbine components, compared to automotive and aerospace, plus assembly challenges, new machining technologies are gaining popularity. The conventional milling and broaching techniques in turbine blade machining, with the high tooling costs and abrasive flow issues, are fast fading, as modern assembly methods continue to drive machining tolerances to new heights

The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook 2018 (AEO2018), which includes its Reference case and a number of sensitivity cases, shows continued development of the U.S. shale and tight oil and gas resources paired with modest energy consumption growth, leading to the U.S. to transition from a net energy importer to a net energy exporter across most cases examined in AEO2018.

General Electric Co. (Boston) said it’s cutting its dividend and reorganizing its troubled GE Power unit by splitting it into two as its new chief tries to revamp the manufacturer.

Demand for more effective turning processes is growing again in one of the most cyclical of industries—the resurgent oil and gas industry. Meanwhile, high-precision manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, and other manufacturing industries are on the lookout for more efficient turning processes.

The sun comes up every morning, and in general one day looks much like the next. However, in reality our world is rapidly changing. The infrastructure surrounding us might also look the same, but is also evolving quickly.

ABB and Microsoft Corp. today announced a strategic partnership to help industrial customers create new value with digital solutions. Customers will benefit from the unique combination of Microsoft’s intelligent cloud and ABB’s deep domain knowledge and extensive portfolio of industrial solutions.

Mention deep-hole drilling, and most people think only gundrilling machines for processing gun barrels. But the fact is that deep-hole drilling applies to a much wider array of workpieces that are typically impossible to drill with common CNC machining centers.
