Showing 31 – 40 of 53 resultsThroughout the past decade, new developments in cutting tools and machining center technologies have opened the door for milling of complex component shapes and geometries in hardened materials previously accomplished through Electrical Discharge Machining.
Mikron Machining Technology (Monroe, Connecticut) now offers the NRG-50 rotary transfer machine, which provides new dimensions in the cost-efficient production of large-volume series. The machines are designed for prismatic parts with an edge length of as much as 50 mm or, alternatively, 35-mm diameter and 70-mm length.
Up against a tight deadline and down to a single insert to run an entire batch of hardened steel components, Metalmite turned to Sandvik Coromant to help overcome a tough threading operation and take an expensive outsourced job in-house for a fraction of the cost.
Horn began operations in 1969 with a focus on grooving tools. Today, it is represented in more than 70 countries and has expanded its tooling business to threading, interpolated milling, axial grooving, drilling, reaming and broaching.
Who says we can’t be competitive on simple parts? The secret for making it happen at one Connecticut shop is the combination of modern CNC Swiss-type machines and good old-fashioned “stick” tooling.

Swiss-type lathes and CNC automatic screw machines now have more power and flexibility and better accuracy than ever. As the popularity of CNC continues to grow on these machines, a good computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system is increasingly necessary to take full advantage of the machines’ true multitasking capabilities.
Somma Tool Co. has a history of taking advantage of opportunities to help the business thrive. Recently, Somma Tool found a way to expand its product line, and market, by acquiring the Max-Bar Tool Co.
This automated machining cell is reaping the advantages of balanced operations—and avoiding most of the problems that usually go with it.
This plant needed to maximize machine utilization and decrease labor costs. It began by upgrading its Department 417 Brown & Sharpe single-spindle screw machines.
Would you ever think that by changing the way you chuck components in a CNC turning center you could cut operation time by three-quarters? This is a must-see.
