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.

Heat generation is the largest contributor to short tool life in titanium machining. Here Makino will present scientific research and a discussion about the formation of heat in titanium milling. See what it means for your tools and how Makino’s Advantige Technologies beat the heat and generate...

In a follow-up to the March 20, 2008 webinar, Hardmilling and Wire EDM Complimentary Processes, Tom Prebelich of Dynamic Plastics in Chesterfield, MI, explains how his shop has made major changes in order to stay competitive. From redesigning work flow through the shop, to making changes to the machining...

The current economic situation holds both risk and opportunity. In this webinar, you will get a preview of the new and unique technologies, processes, and strategies that will be on display on the Advanced Manufacturing and High-Precision Technology Expo in September. You will hear about a tremendous...

Closed-loop intelligent boring process designed for tight tolerance precision bores. System utilizes a tool changeable bore gauge coupled with unique micro-adjustable boring...

Discover newfound efficiencies in applications involving difficult-to-machine materials and extraordinary finish requirements. Real case studies will illustrate how this new 5-axis, multi-tasking machine overcomes traditional limitations to remove non-value-added time in the manufacturing process.

This webinar is focused on new technologies and new process methods for producing high temperature nickel alloy turbine blades and vanes. Using both real and simulated parts, Makino will demonstrate how their G series of 5 axis horizontal grinding and machining centers eliminate set up time, reduce WIP,...

With a variety of materials (i.e.: steel, cast iron, aluminum, non-metallic, mixed, etc.), associated chip configurations (i.e.: long & curly, stringy, “bird-nests”, broken, etc.) and coolants in today’s manufacturing environment, selecting the “right” lift-up chip conveyor...

With the significant increase in jet engine order backlogs and new fuel-efficiency requirements for engine designs, the production demand for high-temperature alloy parts is set to grow substantially. This is expected to put additional pressure on the supply chain and create demand for new manufacturing...

Many factors influence the ability to win new contracts, but none more important than cost. Recorded at IMTS 2016, Jim Gibbs, president of Dynamic NC, breaks down the cost of manufacturing with a detailed review of all elements that influence per-piece cost. Learn how to improve cost-control methods...
