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 ...

Fiber-reinforced composite wing components, commonly stacked with aluminum and titanium, can challenge the machining process, including cutting tool security and final surface quality. Source (All ...

Cross-drilled holes act as conduits for fluids, lubricants and gases. Failing to remove burrs can cause blockage of these critical passages or create turbulence in the flow. In automated machining, ...

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 ...

Aerospace manufacturing is precise and expensive, so being able to quickly detect substandard raw materials through Forge Feedback Analysis (FFA) allows machinists to reduce cost and waste by ...

This paper describes the University of Illinois machining system research program. This program focuses on the development of mechanistic models for machining process simulation and the use of these ...

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 ...
