Machining & Manufacturing

Cold forming makes short work of high-precision, metal components.

The Unitized Hot Runner System is claimed to be a lower cost drop-in, wired alternative to "injection half of hot half" hot-runner systems.

To visualize how design elements affect a casting's tolerances, consider a simple enclosure lid.

A receiver attaches individual finger tools to transfer press rails.

Using synchronous swing motion, the 40-taper, 24-pocket Dual Arm automatic tool changer (ATC) picks up a new tool and old tool simultaneously, making tool changes with one continuous and smooth motion.

The CNC-controlled head angle of the Model 25-UFG universal flute grinder tackles straight, right, or left-hand flutes.

The MultiDeco 32/6i multispindle automatic machine comes with six spindles, 18 axes, and an
integrated bar feeder.

There's a big difference between high-speed and high-performance machining.

The TL-15 dual-spindle lathe turns double-ended parts in a single setup.

A fully automated system for component parts can make fastening easy.

Modular designs simplify transport, speed setup, and permit expansion of a machine or system.

Coolants, including soluble oils, semisynthetics, and full synthetics, are available for all applications, as well as cutting oils for machining and Swiss-style automatic screw machines.

OEMs typically use spindles as work heads in turning, grinding, and polishing machines, while equipment builders use them for tool heads.

The
milling head of the DMU 60 L combined milling-laser machine cuts material with
high precision.

A brochure, called H846, describes six CNC routers designed for high-speed production in wood, plastic, foam, brass, aluminum, composites, and other materials.
