When Ford Automotive offered a contract to this Canadian automotive manufacturer for producing rear toe links, the company found its lathes simply weren’t capable of attaining the accuracy required to complete the job. In addition to enabling the company to win the contract, installing Heidenhain linear scales on the lathes reduced scrap rates and the need for frequent operator adjustments.
By changing to a hex-shaped turning insert with a 45-degree lead angle, this shop saved thousands of dollars on a difficult Inconel turning application.
The Microgage Spindle Alignment Kit from Pinpoint Laser Systems is a new alignment and measurement system for lathes, turning equipment, spindles and related machinery.
This lathe toolholder allows insert changes in a matter of seconds with the push of a button. Its cam-actuated lever provides a uniform insert clamping pressure of 8,000 psi.
Sometimes synthetic metalworking fluids end up negatively impacting tool life when used with tough materials. Wells Manufacturing overcame that issue when it converted to a new product from Blaser Swisslube.
The machine tool builder is introducing three new software technologies to enable machine shops to shave time during programming, setups and turning operations.
Here is an alternative to standard end milling — an operation performed on a CNC milling machine to produce circular grooves in the part face. This new single-point trepanning tooling strategy can produce both symmetrical and asymmetrical face grooves, too, and perform fly cutting.
The Hardinge Group has replaced the mechanical gearbox in the HLV toolroom lathe with an electronic servomotor and threading computer. This is said to both eliminate the need to purchase gears for different inch or metric threads and to ease left-hand threading. Thread range is 0.
A combination bar puller and cutoff tool is an inexpensive way to enable short stretches of unattended turning while saving a turret position.
JTD SAS implemented Esprit CAM software from DP Technology in order to solve the inefficiency of manually programming their CNCs. This saved programming time and ensured optimized cutting paths.
