In addition, when the computers went down, parts were often scrapped. The gantry framework on the two machines was in great shape, and the company had also recently replaced all of the water pumps. So retrofit appeared to be the answer, but traditional waterjet retrofit packages came up short. Controllers included with these packages lacked the features Maudlin wanted, such as toughness, improved cutting tolerances, and the ability to make changes to CAD files at the machine. Even though the company used...(more)

Outdated cutter compensation and acceleration algorithms can cause inaccurate parts, gouging, and overshooting leading to an increase in scrap parts. Many CNC controls are available for retrofit, but that doesn't mean they have the same features as the old control. The features may not work the same way and/or existing programs may not be compatible. When deciding to replace a CNC control, compatibility with the existing part programs, Vertical Lathe, motors, and feedback devices must be considered, as...(more)

The cooperative products include S 240 Multiaxis Gantry Type CNC copy Milling Machine, 3 axis and 5 axis Radial drilling machine. "There's nothing about making pool cues that's easy," McDaniel says, "but one of the most challenging tasks is the inlay work. " The points, typically 7. 5 inches in length, are inlaid around the circumference of the 29 inch long butt. In the past, McDaniel's firm had to make a male pattern for the points themselves and a female pattern for the butt inlay, which took between one...(more)

All electronics are wired, and software installed, allowing customers the ease of running the machine in any work cell shortly. " "The only setup customers may have to perform is the mounting of drill, dispenser, laser or automation tooling required for their application, and in many cases Techno can do this for the customer prior to shipping. "Das Maschinenkonzept ist auf hochstmogliche Flexibilitat, in der Tischauslegung, Vertical Lathe, des Fluid und Spanehaushaltes und der Aufstellmoglichkeiten...(more)

Of course, most of these tools, unlike our solid titanium money clips, are just coated with titanium nitride and then use lower cost steel under the coating. For functionality, and to make this unbreakable Superior Titanium used pure titanium construction throughout. "What is great about our titanium money clips is that you can show them off to your friends, while at the same time, support North America's quality manufacturing industry," Hirschorn enthused. The strength and elasticity (or springiness) of...(more)

The opening distance of the automatic doors is adjustable to minimize cycle times, and robotic loading and unloading is easily interfaced. Another system also proved too difficult to learn and did not have the same level of functionality as JETCAM for parts that require both laser and punching operations, and thus needed programming on two separate systems. By this time Radial drilling machine had used JETCAM Expert with high performance rectangular nesting to drive three Finn Power punch presses and a...(more)
