What are some variations on the basic lathe configuration? This can be helpful to review when considering the purchase of a new turning machine.
Five-axis machining tends to conjure up images of pricey VMCs machining aerospace components with complex curves and undercuts. However, manufacturers and commercial job shops are finding a VMC and tilting rotary table with fourth- and fifth-axis motion can significantly reduce setup, handling and cycle times on a variety of commercial components and parts.
NUM will demonstrate the CNC axis-sharing capability of its Flexium+ 68 CNC system that is said to pave the way for versatile machine tools with complex control requirements.
Siemens’ Sinumerik 808D Advanced CNC offers a range of design features said to improve the accuracy, surface finish, safety and communication of the control for basic milling and turning machines.
Mag Industrial Automation Systems' Megaflex custom manufacturing system recently demonstrated the ability to simultaneously machine all three blade faces of one of the industry’s largest wind turbine hubs in record time.
Rather than use several horizontal machining centers to produce housings, AAM invested in a single FST that has proven to be more cost-effective.
When you put together a team of engineers, programmers and machine tool builders to develop a plan for making a part, you’ll realize the true role of imagination and creativity in the manufacturing process.
Makino’s five-axis A500Z features a fully-integrated “Z-type” fifth axis to accommodate complex part geometry challenges in fewer workholding setups and machining operations.
Although automated manufacturing cells typically consist of standard products such as CNC machine tools, robots, pallets and cell control software, almost all of these systems rely on inventive concepts developed for the particular application. These "good ideas" often account for the outstanding productivity and flexibility of these systems. This article looks at several of the "good ideas" that characterize a cell comprised of seven wire EDM units and a robot on a rail transfer unit.
