The networks of connected shopfloor devices that underlie implementations of data-driven manufacturing come together on many levels. All are worth noting.
Automotive suppliers are today being asked to supply wheel, brake and suspension components to ever-tighter tolerances. To accomplish this, single suppliers are taking responsibility for delivering more than turned blanks. They take more control of the process by performing turning, gauging, testing and assembly—on demand. Here’s one shop’s approach.
The networks of connected shopfloor devices that underlie implementations of data-driven manufacturing come together on many levels. Connecting machine tools to a monitoring system is just one of those levels.
Hardinge’s Style-S collet pads are designed to take up less space, cost less and change over faster than solid collets.
Paired with the right cutting tools, workholding and software, multi-tasking and multi-axis equipment enables this race team to also bill itself as a full-fledged parts supplier.
Exsys Tool’s Preci-Flex compensating clutch system for Okuma CNC turning centers enables users to “float” away misalignment between turret drive motors and toolholders, leading to smoother operation, improved surface finishes and longer tool life.
Magnolia Tooling's older, less-accurate machines required time-consuming manual setup procedures. Purchasing new machines from Makino and accessories from Blum-Novotest streamlined setup and optimized production.
RDM Manufacturing Precision CNC needed to improve its equipment flexibility to keep up with its large variety of clients. Investing in a VMC from SMTCL enabled the shop to achieve higher metal removal rates and better surface finish to better deal with demand.
