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 ...

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 ...

Kitamura builds its boxway machines for speed and accuracy. Mention boxway machines, and the first thought that comes to mind are strong, rigid, high-torque machines effortlessly plowing through heavy ...

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 ...

The release of Mastercam X3 by CNC Software (Tolland, CT) brings high-speed machining toolpaths into the realm of 2D. High-speed machining traditionally has been available in the Mastercam 3D ...

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 ...

Define “high speed.” What is considered leading edge today? Anthony/Timken: High speed, referred to as dN, is calculated by multiplying the bearing bore diameter in millimeters by the shaft rpm. If ...

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.
