A History of Precision: The Invention and Evolution of Swiss-Style Machining https://lnkd.in/grHrmEq3

Looking to boost your shop’s unattended machining capabilities? Swiss-type lathes are a top choice. Equipped with a bar feeder and parts catcher, these machines can run unattended for hours, often producing complete parts. Adding a B-axis with live tooling allows for more intricate parts. However, efficiency can vary, especially with parts needing complex machining on both sides, common in the medical and aerospace industries. Read about Gosiger’s experience with the Nomura DS’s 20J3XBTC—a Swiss-type machine that has B-axes on both the main spindle and subspindle, as shared by Modern Machine Shop: https://lnkd.in/gwWE3jF6 #machining #usedmachines #manufacturing #machinery #machinist #machinerydealer #efficiency #leanmanufacturing #cncmachines

EFFORTLESS CHATTER ELIMINATION IN MACHINING FROM NAKAMURA-TOME When you come across chatter, how do you get rid of it? Chattering in machining is the unwanted harmonic vibration of a workpiece and a cutting tool caused by several reasons. Chatter ruins machining precision and reduces productivity. Even though your machine has high rigidity, it happens. Here are a few things that you can do to mitigate chatter: Fix work holding Shorten up your tool holder Shorten the stick out of your tool Change the programming Modify the cutting speed and feed rate Add fixturing and support for the part However, it is hard to find out the specific reason for the vibration. Even if you could eliminate chatter, another problem would occur. For example, when you change the cutting speed, it often affects your cycle time. Therefore, as machinists, chatter is our common enemy. We want to mitigate it as soon as possible and do not want to ruin our day. This is why Nakamura-Tome’s Chatter Canceller is a wonderful feature; it is a handy, effortless and a quick solution against chatter. Why Chatter Canceller? The Chatter Canceller suppresses chatter by accelerating and d... #chatter #Chattercanceller #harmonic #NakamuraTome #unwanted #vibration #WDHearn #PRODUCTS

The drawbar on a horizontal or vertical machining center is truly the key component to holding the tool in the spindle. Excellent article detailing the lead time reduction. In many cases additive machining might be a solution.

What exactly is Precision Machining? In a world where parts are becoming smaller and more intricate, precision machining plays a vital role in more industries than you might think. But not all machine shops take the same approach to the art of precision manufacturing. Read our blog to learn more about the technical and not-so-technical aspects of precision machining. 🔩 Read More: https://loom.ly/f4eNyyE #machining #precisionmachining #CNC #manufacturingprocess #cncturning #cncmanufacturing #invested #peoplefirst

Precision machining is a vitally important technique in modern manufacturing. To maintain product quality, manufacturers need to accurately assess the level of wear in their cutting tools – but this is often difficult to quantify. A research team led by Dr George Bollas at the University of Connecticut, USA present an advanced new technique for monitoring tool wear. Their approach combines machine-learning algorithms with measurements of vibrations in cutting tools. #manufacturing #tooling #precision #cutting #monitoring https://lnkd.in/gschjAcV
