Optical Gaging Products (OGP) will describe a range of sensor technologies that can be used for dimensional measurement of machined parts. Multisensor measuring machines use a combination of sensors, each with particular strengths, to measure various features or dimensions for verification to design...
High-mix, low-volume production is big trend for manufacturers supplying Just-In-Time (JIT) customers. Due to this, there is a great deal of pressure to make the production process, even under high-mix, low-volume demands, as efficient as possible. Tim Jones, HMC product manager at Makino, discusses...
Makino defines micro-machining and discusses Makino's technology in this area. In this presentation, Makino references a real-world case study and makes comparisons between milling and EDM, and discusses micro-milling supporting technologies. Makino shows how to hold tolerances to microns and achieve...
