A variable-speed VRT spindle machines an EDM electrode at 30,000 rpm. Multi-tasking functionality, as of late, has become quite the mantra for machine tool developers. These types of machines can ...

Five practical aerospace milling strategies to improve stability, surface integrity, and tool life when machining HRSAs, titanium, and high-nickel alloys.

Today’s manufacturers are pressured to produce more for less cost and at a faster rate than ever before. The increase in production speed can lead to inefficiencies in the manufacturing process that ...

Spindle speeds between 25,000 rpm and 60,000 rpm, along with micro tooling, produces better part quality and improves cycle times for both small plastic and metal parts. (photo courtesy of ...

Precision high-speed machining requires low-friction bearings that provide dynamic stability. Hybrid bearings with ceramic balls run faster and have higher stiffness than comparable all-steel bearings ...

A new study published in Engineering delves into the material removal mechanisms in ultra-high-speed machining (UHSM), a key technology in advanced manufacturing. High-performance engineering ...

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is emerging as a streamlined communication technology for industrial automation, transmitting data and power over long distances, unifying systems and enhancing security.

Carbon fiber composite gantry yields weight savings of 90% compared to steel alternative. Linear composites manufacturing process speeds production by eliminating welding and powder coating associated ...

The most successful shops use automation to protect and elevate their workforce, stabilize production expectations and stay ...

Speed reducers are mechanical devices generally used for two purposes. The primary use is to multiply the amount of torque generated by an input power source to increase the amount of usable work.
