The circle-segment cutter represents a class of milling tool in which the CAM software is key for using the tool effectively. Cutting profiles presented at the proper angles realize cycle-time reductions in contoured workpieces such as molds. A CAM company engineer discusses the role of this tooling.
All they need is speed! Tools for roughing nickel-based alloys can be used in the same processes as carbide tools, just with high rpm and no coolant.
A manufacturer that is distinctive for its attention to in-cycle machining productivity describes its efforts to obtain efficiency improvements outside of the machining cycle. The shop’s primary tool is a simple, daily, graphical recap that illustrates when each machine tool was and was not making parts.
Continuously checking the condition of cutting tools and responding appropriately to wear or other changes is especially critical on machines designed to complete parts in a single setup or run several operation simultaneously.
Beyond the machining capacity, other important factors relate to the people and the understanding of the process.
Would your shop purchase a CNC machine tool that would never be used to make a sellable end-use part?
To showcase the new age of digital manufacturing, Heidenhain is using its control systems to connect equipment from many machine tool builders throughout McCormick Place to its booth in the Lakeside Center.
Fostering connections between technology providers and forward-thinking manufacturers is not only vital to the health and security of the country, it also represents the theme of IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show in September. IMTS 2024 will not only serve as the hub of those connections, but also promises to bring new perspectives and participants to the forefront of the show. Here’s our take on what to expect at IMTS 2024.
