CNC Vertical Turret Milling Machines
A line of machines from 101-year-old tool builder and workholding manufacturer Palmgren features Fagor Automation controls that make programming easy for any level of operator producing any size batch.
High-Speed Milling Spindle Enables Lights-Out Machining
NSK America’s electric i-Speed5 spindle system eliminates the need for motor cables or air tubing. Variable-speed system integrates with control system for complete tool changeability.
5-Axis CNC Machining Training Via Digital Twin
To help develop the next-generation manufacturing workforce, FANUC’s Machining Simulation for Workforce Development software teaches users how to set up and operate three common 5-axis milling machines.
Manufacturing is the Secondary Operation for This CNC Machining Shop
San Francisco-based Plethora Corp. shaves as much time as possible from the iterative design process. After developing software that enables customers to design for the shop’s capabilities in real time, this 2017 start-up delivers prototypes and production runs within three days.
Real-Time Machining Simulation for Digital Dentistry
ModuleWorks, Bosch Rexroth and CIMT combined their respective simulation, CNC and milling expertise to create new efficiencies for dental labs and practices. An operator can simulate the dental machining process offline and fix problems before the real job begins.
Consider Retrofitting Obsolete CNC Functions
Servo Products’ Orion CNC retrofit package helps gives job shops an affordable alternative to replacing a whole milling machine. By replacing or adding controls, low- to mid-volume operations can reduce downtime and jack up profit margins.
The Multi-Material Mill That Saves Money
Because Walter’s Xtra·tec XT M5130 shoulder milling cutter tackles so many types of operations and materials, owners can cut their tooling and administrative costs. It’s a universal mill that’s useful in the energy industry and die and mold-making.
Where There’s a Mill There’s a Way – Online Marketplace Reboots Machinist’s Career
Todd White started to do a couple jobs a month with one Tormach machine in his garage. After qualifying to become a Xometry manufacturing partner, he’s become a full-fledged shop with multiple machines and work for a wide variety of customers.
Mill Just About Anywhere with Single-Phase CNC Machine
When introduced in 2016, Datron Dynamics’ neo used three-phase power. Now, an internally contained transformer provides single-phase power to minimize the CNC milling machine’s footprint while maximizing installation options.
EtherCAT Remote Pendant Provides Multiple Benefits
The AMI 5000 remote pendant from ANCA Motion works with any control system that supports an EtherCAT fieldbus. In addition to enhancing shop safety by keeping operators away from machines, the pendant offers a number of customizable options.
Mold Makers: Universal Spindle Streamlines Milling, Gundrilling
Unisig built the USC-2M and USC-3M for tough applications – both can handle all types of milling and gundrilling metal. And their universal spindle helps users reduce changeover times when switching between those two operations.
One Thousand Parts a Day to Help Accelerate Medical Equipment Production
TCI Precision Metals executes an all-hands-on-deck initiative to produce a high volume of precision machine-ready blanks that can reduce production time on ventilators, medical testing equipment and other essentials during the pandemic. They’re shipping 1,000 blanks a day and continue to expedite production.
