Going Less Than 100%: Preserve Insert Edges

Has this ever happened to you? You have been running a process for a period of time and are very confident in its security. All of a sudden, you receive a batch of castings and your 100 components per edge dropped to 75 components per edge and the insert edge is breaking. What can you do to optimize your process in the short term?

Tooling Up for Micromachining

In micromachining, the parts may be small, but the tooling and machining options are wide open. And with all of the challenges that come with micromachining — tight tolerances, stringent quality demands, hard-to-machine materials — choosing the right methods is critical.

Higher Efficiency in Rough and Finish Turning

WMX is the new generation of wiper inserts that can achieve the required surface finish much faster than inserts with a conventional nose radius. The main radius with multiple complimentary radii has been designed as part of a new chipbreaking geometry that has provided the insert with a much larger feed range.

Wind Power Components: Groove cutting at its best

Groove machining on wind power components requires versatile, rigid tools for features on rings and shafts. The more recent developments in the area of parting and grooving tooling have targeted the heavy-duty end of machining, when added stability for longer reach is needed, a tougher cutting edge is necessary and when chip control is an issue.

Power-Generation Components Make New Demands on Tooling

The US Department of Energy estimates that national electricity consumption will increase by approximately 30% by the year 2030. This drives today’s orders for a great number of gas and steam turbines for carbon and nuclear-based electricity plants, as well as specific components for renewable energy plants based on wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.
