Unigraphics Solutions, a recognized leader in the CAD/CAM/CAE market,developed the 5-Axis NURBS-based tool path to enhance its machining productofferings and allow companies to gain greater productivity.
The objective of the demonstration is to show 3-axis contouring with Super Geometric Intelligence machining.
An exploration into how SPC requirements affect processing decisions in modern metal machining. What is the connection between conformance and SPC level? What procedures should be used to decide, in the planning stages, which potential process is best? How is fixture design affected? This is the first...
Learn what technologies and techniques are needed to succeed in today's aerospace supply chain. Alan Hollatz, Makino's aerospace proposal engineer, discusses how manufacturers are using 5-axis machines to create aluminum parts for the aerospace industry.
Makino 1-series horizontal machining centers have reduced machining costs for U.S. manufacturers. Explore real case studies with shops that have achieved it.
Form Grinding wanted a better way to create the carbide inserts it used for cold extrusion forming in steel dies. The grinding wheel process they used to dimensionalize the carbide was slow and inefficient, and working with carbide on a grinding wheel is an untidy process. Plus it was costly, as the...
Producing fine finishes on EDMed surfaces has long been a goal, especially for mold and die shops that operate ram-type electrical discharge machines. Lately, there has been renewed interest in using additives in the dielectric oil to achieve ultra fine finishes with graphite electrodes without excessive...
