Filter by Process Zone:
TURN/MILL SOFTWARE INTEGRATES G-CODE FOR 3D PROGRAMMING
CAMplete Turn/Mill software from Methods Machine Tools combines G-code from CAM systems and hand-coded G-code into a set of programs that can be simulated, fine-tuned and optimized using detailed 3D machine models for Nakamura multitasking machines.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE MILLING LATHES TURNING CENTERS
Methods Machine Tools incorporates several different designs into FEELER milling lathes and turning centers, and backs them with application expertise, support, and extensive network of technology centers.
THE FIRST TWIN ATC B-AXIS MULTITASKING TURN/MILL SYSTEM
The Nakamura-Tome Super NTMX Multitasking Turn/Mill Machining Center from Methods Machine Tools is the first system to offer dual 24-tool ATC magazines that simplify complex multitasking machining.
MULTI-TASKING MACHINE REDUCES TOOL HANDLING INCREASES TOOL CAPACITY
The Multus B750 large multi-tasking machine from Okuma uses an optional tool matrix that holds from 81 tools to 285 tools depending upon requirements and configurations, providing expandability in reduced floor space.
MULTI-TASKING TURNING CENTER WITH TRUE 5-AXIS MOVEMENT
The Nakamura-Tome Super MX-5 Multi-tasking Turning Center from Methods Machine Tools incorporates dual 24-tool ATC magazines, one for machining parts on the left spindle and one for the right spindle.
CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT GAGE LED MICROMETER VALIDATES PART ROLLING
ADCOLE Corporation offers a low-cost LED micrometer for its Model 1200 crankshaft gage that provides ±3-µm accuracy, ±1-µm repeatability and 0.25-µm resolution to validate that parts have been rolled to the proper depth.
CIRCULAR SAW BLADES CUT THROUGH TOUGH STEEL APPLICATIONS
New Xtreme Technology (NXT) blades from M. K. Morse have fully optimized the rake angles and tooth geometries on each diameter of blade for smooth, fast cuts with less vibration and longer blade life.
HMC FOR FERROUS, NON-FERROUS PART PRODUCTION
Makino a51nx and a61nx horizontal machining centers offer a larger work envelope and next-generation productivity, accuracy and reliability beyond that of typical 40-taper machines.
BORING MILLS PERFORM PRECISION MACHINING OF LARGE COMPONENTS
FEELER FMB-Series moving column horizontal boring mills from Methods Machine Tools use 4th-axis machining for manufacturers of large components where precision is critical.
HIGH SPEED AND POWER PACKED INTO A SMALL FOOTPRINT
MB-5000H and MB-8000H horizontal machining centers from Okuma use the Thermo-Friendly Concept that enables each machine tool to predict and counter thermal deformation for improved accuracy.
ROUTINELY ACHIEVE 4µ MACHINING PRECISION AND ACCURACY
SPC 7120 and 7140 SIP 4/5-axis horizontal machining centers from StarragHeckert are ideal for aerospace machining of exotic materials with hard-to-machine characteristics, such as titanium and Inconel.
AUTOMATIC COMPLETE MACHINING OF PRISMATIC AND CASE-STYLE PARTS
HEC 500/630/800 Athletic series medium-sized horizontal machining centers from StarragHeckert use an NC-controlled rotating and tilting unit that also reduces setup times, eliminates additional adjustment work, makes door-to-door times faster and lowers costs per unit with increased machining accuracy – all at the same time.
