According to the company, its machine-ready blanks reduce overall part costs. They can be loaded directly into the machine without prep operations, which include sawing, grinding, flattening or squaring. Additionally, machine-ready blanks are said to require less time for adjusting setups and fixture offsets.
According to the supplier, its machine-ready blanks reduce overall part costs.
The rationale behind lean manufacturing applies very directly to metal coating and finishing processes. The cost savings are often greater than one might expect.
Different automated material removal applications teach similar lessons about the value of early testing, close collaboration and adventurous thinking.
Kennametal is advocating Precision Electrochemical Machining (PECM) for lower cost per part, low electrode wear, fewer material hardness concerns and other benefits in producing complex geometrical shapes in metal.
Ice blasting is a process that uses ice crystals as impact media to remove contaminants. It is popular in Europe for industrial cleaning work because it uses no detergents, solvents or abrasives.
A non-woven porous material with a special coating enables vacuum chucks and tables to hold sheets of metal and other materials more effectively on CNC routing machines. The material, called Vilmill, is used as a substrate between the sheet or plate material to be machined and a suitable vacuum table or vacuum chuck where it is held securely in place by the vacuum.
Robotic automation is transforming a job that was perhaps a machine operator’s least-favorite work assignment into one that is not a heavy lift.
Additive manufacturing impacts every stage of production at this flexible yet highly automated CNC machining business.
