Automated Production Of Oil-Drill Couplings

A machining cell combines lathes, a robot and a conveyor system to enable automated production of precision oil-drill couplings.

High Speed Machining ... Without The Speed

Axial chip thinning is often associated with high speed machining, but this shop uses the same effect to increase metal removal rate with a standard-size end mill run on a moderate-speed machine.

Simulation Software Enables "Lights-Out" Five-Axis Machining

Hall & Stavert has been manufacturing marine hardware for more than 65 years. The company incorporated Vericut machine-simulation software to verify NC programs and shorten turnaround time. Developed by CGTech, the solids-based software system interactively simulates the material-removal process of an NC program. The software depicts three- to five-axis milling/drilling and wire EDM operations as well as multi-axis turning and mill/turn machining.

Circle Milling A Bolt Hole Pattern

There are times when you want to circle mill the holes on a bolt pattern. Possibly you want to rough the holes prior to finish boring.
