New EDM technology can improve cycle time reduction and enhance cost savings.   OFFLINE PROGRAMMING FOR COMPETITIVE SOLUTIONS Bill Paul and Yoshiharu Yoshioka There are two issues with EDM operations in the U.S. that hamper production and cost efficiency....

The role of the toolholder in high-speed milling is really no different than its role when applied conventionally. The role of the toolholder is always to provide an interchangeable interface between a machine spindle and a cutting tool, such that the effectiveness of either component is not diminished....

A sinker EDM's mass and dampening qualities improve the accuracy of electrode positioning in the spark gap, which, in turn, improves machining speed and finish.   SHOPPING FOR RELIABILITY An automatic wire threader fails, halting overnight production on an...

“Shops that machine small parts may have the luxury of scrap, but we don’t,” says Don Covert, President of Covert Manufacturing. “Accuracy, speed, and a stable process are vital. Big parts take longer to machine, so you have to maximize the number of parts you finish in a day, without sacrificing quality...

Three years ago, JK Molds, Inc. decided that if they were going to stay in the die/mold business, they had better automate in order to achieve the benefits of unattended machining time with fast, high quality overnight cutting and burning. The Upland, California, company spent a few million dollars updating...

This unique webinar will highlight the machining techniques and machine tool technologies required to achieve surface finishes as fine as 10nm Ra.
