Combining a rotating tool with rotating work produces a machining operation that is distinct from standard turning or milling.
You're going to need more than the CAM program you're currently using for your standard CNC lathes and mills.
While multi-spindle turn-mill machines can improve productivity by enabling users to machine parts complete in one setup, fully realizing their benefits requires a CAM package that is capable of synchronizing multiple spindles. With Delcam’s FeatureCAM software, cutting tool manufacturer Parlec eliminated the time-consuming process of programming each spindle of its turn-mill machines separately before manually synchronizing them on the shop floor.
Form tools are traditionally associated with non-CNC machines, but in certain applications they make sense on modern machines as well.
CNC Software, Inc. is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2008. The company's Mastercam product is said to have the highest number of CAD/CAM seats installed worldwide, totaling 135,824 at the end of last year. The latest version, Mastercam X3, is scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2008. This version is
The Hardinge Workholding Group needed a heavy-duty machine with a rigid structural design that could perform multiple operations. After scouring the market, the group found the right model closer to home than it expected.
This high-production shop uses both mechanical and CNC Swiss machines to make parts, but which machine is right for which job?
VersaBuilt’s automation systems significantly boosted Innovative Fabrication’s revenue. In return, the shop has helped VersaBuilt optimize its products.
Almost any shop can automate at least some of its production, even in low-volume, high-mix applications. The key to getting started is finding the simplest solutions that fit your requirements. It helps to work with an automation partner that understands your needs.
The advance toward increasingly automated machining can be seen in the ways tooling, workholding, gaging and integration all support unattended production. This is the area of innovation I found most compelling at the recent International Manufacturing Technology Show.
