A basic, square-cut gear consists of a combination of two simple machines: the wheel and the wedge. Even though the basic concept seems simple, the wide variety of applications that call for gears have driven relentless innovation in the way these components are made. You might not know it if your career hasn’t led you to explore the topic of how gears are fabricated, but it is a very involved and high-tech operation. Not all gears are created equal. As with any machine component, a given gear must get built in a way that remains both economically sound and effective…

Although grinding machines are designed to be very safe and prevent the conditions necessary to create a fire, they are operated by humans which, on rare occasions, make mistakes Operator error can lead to quite serious fires inside of these types of grinding machines. When a fire does occur, the operator is typically safe from the fire, but the machine itself faces serious damage if the fire is not suppressed immediately. A large Machine shop located in the Northeast has a very sophisticated and expensive ($300,000) Shutte* grinding machine. A Firetrace International Distributor installed a UL Listed/FM Approved Indirect Low…

With the Walter Cut MX, Tübingen-based Walter AG is launching a tool for grooving and parting off that adopts proven technology and eliminates the weaknesses of existing systems from competitors. The self-aligning, tangential clamping of the MX system and the dowel pin location in the insert seat lead to greater repeat accuracy, stability and process reliability. Furthermore, unlike comparable systems, it is impossible to fit the inserts incorrectly in the Walter system, which makes handling completely reliable. In addition to the high-precision toolholder system with precision cooling, the Tiger·tec Silver PVD cutting tool materials of the indexable inserts also ensure…
The Renishaw Equator flexible gauge is now offered with IPC (intelligent process control) software, providing the functionality to fully automate tool offset updates in CNC manufacturing processes. Improved capability in precision part machining, reduced setting and process adjustment time, and integration with automation systems are some of the benefits that users can now expect. IPC is used with the existing software running on the Equator controller, using recent historical gauging data to determine process corrections. Connection to a compatible machine tool can be as simple as connecting an Ethernet cable from the Equator to a CNC machine. This capability has…
