MACHINE TOOL SECTION INDUSTRY FOCUS High feed machining techniques for small cutters With the unique challenges presented by micro-machining, HFM presents some obvious benefits. Small, solid carbide end mills can quickly produce intricate shapes with tight tolerances and better surface finish Measurement technology benefits to production machining needs Metrology technology has come a long way in the last 5 years, and tools are available to meet such exacting inspection requirements. The right solution, of course, depends on the particular needs of the end user. Selecting bar feed for high-speed machining The demands placed upon today’s magazine bar feeders have never been greater as both Swiss and fixed headstock lathe producers offer larger bar capacities with increasingly high maximum rpm spindles. Ensuring smooth machining process with successful untended operation The idea of setting up a turning machine or machining center at closing time and letting it crank out parts overnight with zero payroll expense is a very seductive scenario. Impact of the surface finish on machining process Some manufacturers overlook is that the fate of a part’s surface finish rests not only with the turning machine itself, but also with the barstock loading and support system. Developing good contamination control program Developing and implementing a world-class contamination-control program is a sizable undertaking that usually requires significant modifications to machinery Waste control through lean maintenance Wisdom of the people doing the work: One axiom of lean maintenance can be found in the wisdom of the maintenance, cleaning and grounds people. Why us, why now? In years past, the engineer, manager or superintendent was responsible for improvement ideas. Maintenance people were “hands” hired to do what they were told. Today, organizations are lean and mean; we need the capabilities of all maintainers. Detect soft foot with vibration analysis When soft foot is present, the intended machine design and clearances are compromised. It can cause high vibration levels because the machinery is unduly exposed to excessive wear with each shaft revolution. Understanding CNC collet chucks Many CNC lathes and turning centers come equipped from the factory with a standard workholding system consisting of a three-jaw power chuck, a hydraulic actuating cylinder and a drawtube. When considering the purchase of a CNC lathe or turning center, it is important to ensure that the workholding system is matched to both the machine’s capabilities and the type of work that it will be doing. Achieving the machining center accuracy Some machines are more accurate and some are less accurate, just as some machines have large travels and some have small ones. However, that machining center is also part of a system.
