• Water Jets Cut Machining Time, Cost
  is similar to glass-filled nylon and other reinforced plastics. The customer had previously tried CNC machining, but even a -in.-diameter end mill removed too much material. The reassembled pipe's cross section ended up elliptical, and many of the parts had to be scrapped. Atlantic Fasteners tried...
• New Integrated Operator Console/Amplifier for Machine Tool OEMs and Retrofit Applications
  and customizable operator controls for an easy-to-integrate and cost-effective open architecture solution for OEM and retrofit CNC applications. The Advantage 900 CNC supports high-speed machining, dynamic multi-block segmented look-ahead for path fidelity at any speed, forward and inverse kinematics...
• Mitsubishi Helps Automotive Manufacturer Branch Into EDM
  To stay competitive, you have to evolve with the industry and always find ways to lead your company over the competition. This is no secret to Kevin and Scott Baker, co-owners of Baker Machining and Mold Technologies. Since the brothers founded their CNC-specialty machine shop in 1992, they've made...
• Wire EDM Allows Great Finish, Speed and Accuracy
  2002. With 29 EDM machines company-wide, RWI is one of the largest EDM job shops. As a result, RWI has more in-house capabilities than most shops. Aside from wire and sinker EDM, other machine work done in RWI's shop includes CNC milling (vertical, horizontal and 5-axis), manual lathe, CNC lathe...
• Milling good parts from bad geometry
  generates a probe path off line and fixturing software guides a touch probe around the part. The fixturing software allows probing on the machine tool as an alternative to using machining fixtures. A best-fit calculation determines part location on the machine table. The position is transmitted to the CNC...
• Mitsubishi Laser Doubles Last Year's Sales in Six Months
  and doing short- to medium-run production on parts with applications in trucks and automobiles. In business for about 3-1/2 years, the company started in a small garage; it has now graduated to a 28,000-sq.-ft. facility bristling with hydraulic presses up to 1,200T, four CNC machining centers, a number...
• Manufacturers Sharpen Their Web-Based Tools
  of rejecting an order. Another site, MfgQuote.com, connects job shops with companies purchasing custom manufacturing services. Unlike other Web sites, which typically offer or bid for industrial hard goods, MfgQuote.com provides RFQs for precision CNC machining, sheet-metal fabrication, and rapid...
• Machine-Tool Makers Go Back To Basics At Westec
  including CNC mills, lathes, conventional mills, and conventional lathes are all part of the process. Instructors from the NTMA Training Centers of Southern California will walk show goers through the process, ready to answer questions along the way. The hammer demo is part of an attempt at this year's...
• Expanding Upward and Outward
  A sheet storage tower helps Watson Engineering's laser operations grow up It's elementary for Watson. If Watson Engineering wanted to keep up with its customers in the heavy-duty equipment industry, it needed to expand its fabricating operations, quickly and efficiently. CNC machining, laser...
• CAD and CAM help shop pump out micromedical parts
  of hardened steel on high-speed milling machines running PowerMill CAM software. It uses data from CAD models to generate code that tells the machine what to do. "PowerMill supports high-speed-machining (HSM) strategies for the efficient use of the CNC machine and the cutting tools," says Smith...
