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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diamond coated graphite end mills improve machining stability, surface finish, and wear resistance for high-precision ...

How profitable your shop will be has everything to do with the machine you buy and how you deploy it. Sponsored Content The average VMC (vertical machining center), even when it’s in cycle, isn’t ...
