Machining an out-of-round bore is easy if you're not particular about the location or magnitude of the roundness error. But accurately machining a hole that has a precisely defined non-round profile is a capability that would seem to be well beyond what a standard boring bar can accomplish. A...
Pending EPA regulations on metal cutting fluids have made dry machining a hot topic recently. And while the need for dry machining may be apparent, issues including the perceived inability to cut dry at higher speeds and the changeover costs involved result in dry machining being perceived as impractical...
Injection-molded components are only as good as the molds Mold halves that don’t mate together cleanly, pins that don’t align, and mold locks that scrape and bind result in scrapped parts and millions in lost revenue. Klaus Wieder understands these problems all too well, and if he has his...
