This shop has made large turning work its specialty. In proving to its customers that it can perform this difficult work, it has started to win more "standard" machining jobs.
This California-based shop machined parts for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover. GibbsCAM CAM software’s modeling functions and toolpath verification capabilities played a key role in its ability to effectively machine these critical components.
Combining different machining processes on the same platform has been a major theme in machine tool design for two decades or so. The Studer S242 combines cylindrical grinding and hard turning. A look at this machine shows that both of these machining processes benefit when they share the same platform.
This year’s BIEMH show proved that Spain’s machine tool builders, as
well as its tooling and accessory manufacturers, are looking outward to
a growing global market.
September’s big show in Chicago indicated that investment in new manufacturing technology is likely to remain relatively strong despite uncertainty in other sectors of the economy.
Multiple-part fixturing helps boost the output of these high-volume machining cells while preserving flexibility. The success of these cells is proving to be a critical component of this automotive part maker’s turnaround strategy.
A modular drilling and boring system has changed this oilfield product manufacturer's holemaking operations.
Nearly every aircraft is prone to tiny cracks that begin at holes used to insert fasteners and that, if not addressed, can eventually migrate from one hole to the next and cause structural failures.
In some job shops, it's a daily preoccupation: how to find new customers to augment a current customer base, which may be declining because of increased competition from domestic and overseas shops. A screw machine shop in Nebraska found a way to address this dilemma by using a somewhat nontraditional approach to locating more markets.
This Canadian mold making shop, Unique Mould Makers, is aptly named. Virtually every multi-cavity injection mold set made for the manufacture of caps, closures, vials and other packaging applications is indeed unique. One might think that automation and standardization would not be of interest to such a shop. Think again!
