Newly designed tooling takes advantage of a multitasking machine’s Y-axis motion to more effectively perform parting-off operations compared to conventional X-axis processes.
Out-of-round turning can be an efficient alternative to profile milling and grinding for polygon couplings that could replace traditional spline connections in automotive transmissions.
Machine shops considering bringing passivation for stainless steel parts in-house have common questions. Here we answer a few, as well as run through some the passivation equipment suppliers might ask of shops.
Diversified Fittings has turned to twin-turret/twin-spindle equipment and machine monitoring to become more efficient producing hydraulic fittings and adaptors.
Technology that uses artificial intelligence to create the “physical DNA” of 3D models enables easy model comparison to speed new product design and manufacturing. View this demonstration explaining how it works and how machine shops can benefit.
A screw machine design known for its high production speed — but also its finicky nature to set up and run — has evolved to provide computer control, better accuracy and improved repeatability.
A filtering chip conveyor might enable shops to more effectively match current machining needs while providing CNC lathes and mills to adapt to future requirements.
Production Machining has a new look as we continually endeavor to enhance our readers’ experiences with the magazine while following our own advice in preaching the value of continuous improvement.
