Offset-aware programming of spindle transfers and bar pulls helps manufacturers drive multi-channel CNC machinery with confidence New computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) technology has been introduced by ESPRIT CAM, part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division that provides manufacturers with the control and flexibility needed to use multi-spindle and multi-channel computer-numerical-control (CNC) machinery for the machining of long parts. More accurate simulation of spindle transfers and bar pulls enables manufacturers to exploit multi-tasking machinery with high productivity program creation of error-free toolpaths. Machining long parts, such as shafts and axles, is challenging because they require that the workpiece is supported throughout to maintain cutting…

Kennametal has introduced the FBX drill for flat-bottom drilling of structural aerospace parts. The patented FBX drill delivers superior stability and up to 200 percent higher metal removal rates when machining high temperature alloys, stainless steel, and other materials. The new modular drill is the critical first step in a three-part tooling concept—including the HARVI™ Ultra 8X and the HARVI™ end mill series—specifically designed by Kennametal to decrease cycle time for these types of applications. Quickly removing large amounts of material remains a challenge for these types of components. Traditionally, the first process step is to enter the material by…
