Siemens used this test part to demonstrate new state-of-the-art milling techniques. It is made of tool steel hardened to 54 HRC and was machined on a Micron HPM 800U machining center. Something most ...

Advanced machining can solve many of the challenges of today’s increasingly difficult-to-produce parts such as miniaturization, part complexity, strict tolerances, thin walls, material hardness and ...

Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

Machining refers to the processes of cutting a piece of raw material into different shapes and sizes to come up with the final product. During the process of manufacture, controlled material addition ...

A collet is a workholding device for bar stock or workpieces that must be held to a higher degree of accuracy than a standard chuck can accomplish. The device forms a collar around an object, and ...

Until 2016, it was impossible to incorporate a femtosecond laser—an ultra-short pulse duration laser—onto a 5-axis machine. This was first realized by the Swiss group Georg Fischer in 2016, thereby ...

Rigid and flexible polyurethane foams from General Plastics are frequently employed to create production parts in a vast range of industries, from automotive, aerospace and medical markets to ...
