Frictionless Machining Reduces Heat, Chatter

Friction resulting from moving machine components rubbing together can create vibration and heat buildup, both of which can cause problems during machining operations. One machine from NTC America uses hydrostatic components to eliminate sources of friction for high-precision, small-parts machining.

Composites Keep A Big Machine Busy

On-machine inspection is part of the way this shop machines large composite structures efficiently.

Twin-Table Machining Centers For Production Work

The company’s vertical, twin-table machines use dual integrated pallets and are designed for non-stop production performance. One table is accessible for loading or unloading work while the other is safely enclosed in the workzone. The company says this optimizes machine productivity, operator efficiency and safety

Five-Axis Machining Center For Tough Materials

The VG5000 five-axis machining center is said to offer stability and accuracy when machining difficult materials such as titanium and stainless and tool steels. Its large cross-roller guideways and cast-iron body offer good damping characteristics, according to the company. The machine features a 50-taper spindle t

Three Spindle VMC

Developed for the aerospace industry, the Pro-4210TS is a bridge-type VMC with a full cutting range. The machine features three spindles capable of cutting three identical aerospace structural parts simultaneously to save cycle time, operation overhead and increase productivity at the same time. The machine is said

Cutting Out A Composite Structure

Milling cuts out features of a composite structure, then cuts the structure itself out of the setup.

Easy Does It

This shop specializing in small-scale parts says successfully machining tiny features into tiny workpieces is less about technology and more about technique.
