The machine’s growing usage also can be linked to a number of trends, including: • Mass customization. Whether due to the economy or just a sign of the times, the number of manufacturers with large production runs is dwindling. The multifunction flexibility and easy setup of today’s CNC machining centers allows for batch processing of indeterminate quantities or even custom products, at an economical cost. “The repeatability, reduced setup time, the ability of the machine to run in pendulum process and the parametric capability of software are solid reasons for the use of CNC machining centers for customized processing,” said one equipment manufacturer. http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6808/cnc-machining-centers-are-growing-in-popularity.html http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6808/cnc-machining-centers-are-growing-in-popularity.html Tue, 13 Mar 2012 00:44:09 -0700 Australia’s premier manufacturer of CNC routers and plasma cutters, Advanced Robotic Technology (ART), is introducing a new service, which will allow manufacturers in Australia to retrofit their outdated CNC routers and plasma cutters with new state-of-the-art CNC motion controllers. A CNC retrofit counteracts the signs of ageing and modernises outdated flatbed machinery to improve productivity, enable new functions, and increase energy efficiency. “If the mechanics are still in good condition yet the control unit or drive is no longer state-of-the-art, CNC retrofit often is much more cost effective than buying a new system,” ART Director David White explains. “Also, a CNC retrofit will provide significant performance improvements, increased efficiency, and greater spare part availability.” The comprehensive package involves replacing the motion controller board and all relevant wiring inside the control box, as well as a new high end Windows 7 touch screen-based controller interface. Company Director and co-founder David White took over full ownership of the company in late 2010 and has since introduced many new services and products to lead the company’s expansion efforts into new and existing markets. “While we see huge potential for growth in the local oil & gas industry, I believe we will see long-term growth coming from overseas markets such as the United States,” he explains. http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6798/australia%e2%80%99s-premier-manufacturer-of-cnc-routers-and-plasma-cutters.html http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6798/australia%e2%80%99s-premier-manufacturer-of-cnc-routers-and-plasma-cutters.html Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:15:42 -0700 Torchmate racing will continue is history of participation by once again setting up to assist racers and spectators alike who find themselves in need of repair. 2×2, and 4×4 Torchmate CNC Plasma tables will be available starting Monday February 6th in the Torchmate Booth V20 in vendor row.

We don’t have our own products, and we never invent things. We take people’s projects, their ideas, and make it work,” he said. “We even get drawings on cardboard, done on a cardboard box. That’s enough. We’ll make it.” If lacking in grandeur, the job shop is well-steeped in tradition in the world of machine shops, which fabricate parts out of metal. Greater Nashua, like all industrial areas, once had many dozens of jobs shops of all sizes, many with the word “tool” or “machine” in their name. These are the workhorses of the industrial world, welding, milling, cutting, brazing and manufacturing components out of aluminum, steel or other metals – whatever is needed by other manufacturers. http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6789/hollis-line-machine-co-keeps-turning-out-parts.html http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6789/hollis-line-machine-co-keeps-turning-out-parts.html Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:20:35 -0700 Techno, Inc. Education Systems is proud to announce they are making their Introduction to CNC Machining and Introduction to CNC Plasma Cutting curricula available to all teachers at no charge for the remainder of the academic year (till June 30, 2012). The Introduction to CNC Machining provides a comprehensive curriculum that includes a brief history of manufacturing, history of CNC, introduction to GCODES, introduction to Mastercam, fixturing and clamping material on the CNC machine and running parts on the CNC. The Introduction to CNC Plasma Cutting covers similar topics, but also includes chapters on an Introduction to the science of plasmas - what are they, how are they created and used, how do they cut and so on. There is also an extensive chapter on the safety issues in plasma cutting as well as a detailed chapter on cut quality and consumables when plasma cutting. Both curricula provide step-by-step instructions as well as numerous photos and detailed descriptions of what to do and how to do it. The curricula are ideal for students first getting involved with CNC machining, Mastercam or CNC plasma cutting. These curricula are also ideal aids for the instructors first getting involved with CNC. The curricula are, of course, still available for purchase for unrestricted use without time limits. A class license with permission to reprint copies is also available. http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6777/techno-inc-education-systems-cnc-plasma-cutting-curricula-available-to-all-teachers.html http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6777/techno-inc-education-systems-cnc-plasma-cutting-curricula-available-to-all-teachers.html Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:43:45 -0700 Commenting on the sales results, Mills’ managing director, Nick Frampton, says: “Our order intake by value, let alone by volume, is up 55% on 2010; up 113% on 2009 and, more impressively,up 47% on 2007, which was, up until now, our previous best ever year. “And, because sales have remained strong throughout the year, and certainly in the last quarter, we are going forward into 2012 with our largest and strongest looking forward order book ever.” Breaking the sales down further, 32% of all machine orders during 2011 were from new customers, demonstrating the wide and growing appeal of Doosan technology with UK and Irish manufacturers. Over 90% of all machine orders were fulfilled from Mills’ stock programme, with this underlining the reason behind Mills ordering and carrying such high levels of stock. Says Mr Frampton: “Doosan machine tools are widely regarded as being technically excellent, reliable, and competitively-priced, as well as representing great value. But, equally important is their accessibility and availability too. You can’t simply promote your products and then expect customers to wait months and months for them to arrive.” With 112 machines sold, the new-frame Doosan Puma 8″, 10″ and 12″ chuck lathes were the stars of the show and, in a little under 18 months since they were first launched, these machines have become the UK’s and Ireland’s favourite lathes. The sales of large capacity (up to 32″ chuck size) Puma lathes and the smaller Lynx 220- and 300- series lathes collectively accounted for 168 machines sold. http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6764/mills-cnc-took-orders-for-472-new-doosan-machines-in-2011.html http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6764/mills-cnc-took-orders-for-472-new-doosan-machines-in-2011.html Tue, 03 Jan 2012 07:32:06 -0700 Fire crews responded to a possible appliance fire Wednesday evening at Seelye Craftsmen Co. on Fernbrook Lane in Plymouth. Firefighters encountered heavy smoke tonight when they entered the Seelye Craftsmen Co. on Fernbrook Lane in Plymouth. The call came into dispatch at about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday of a possible appliance fire at a business. When Plymouth Fire Department and emergency responders arrived at Seelye they found heavy smoke coming from the rear of the building. “A laser-cutting type of machine had caught on fire,” said Deputy Fire Chief Kip Springer. “When we encountered the heavy smoke, the call was upgraded and we received mutual aid from Minnetonka and Wayzata.” The mutual aid from Wayzata was canceled en route after crews were able to kill the power to the machine and extinguish the fire, Springer said. There were no injuries and any damage is not yet known. Springer said damage was mainly limited to the machine and the area immediately around it. At 7 p.m. crews were still on the scene clearing out the smoke. There were 25 emergency responders who responded to the incident, including one ambulance. It is not known how many employees or people were in the building at the time of the incident or how the fire occurred. Patch was unable to reach a representative with the company Wednesday evening. According to the company’s website, ?Seelye Craftsmen Co?. is a precision metal fabricator serving many Fortune 500 companies and more than 400 customers in different industries. The company uses a variety of machines and processes such as laser cutting, cnc forming, panel forming, cnc punching, machining, welding, and finishing. Seelye Craftsmen Co. has 34,300 square feet of manufacturing space, 4,000 square feet of office space and employs 70 working two shifts. http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6763/machine-catches-fire-at-plymouth-business.html http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6763/machine-catches-fire-at-plymouth-business.html Sat, 31 Dec 2011 23:09:31 -0700 InventorCAM 2012, engineers can generate toolpaths directly from CAM toolbar inside Autodesk Inventor. iMachining technology uses morphing spiral cuts and controlled step-over algorithms to enable tools to cut at full depth, without suffering from shock loading or rubbing. Optimized feeds and speeds are automatically generated by software's technology wizard, taking into account properties of machine, tool, material, geometry, and user's selected aggressiveness level for cutting. http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6760/cam-software-integrates-with-autodesk-inventor.html http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6760/cam-software-integrates-with-autodesk-inventor.html Fri, 30 Dec 2011 06:59:11 -0700 The idea for a new medical implant normally arises to meet a practical need. It is a long process before the implant is producible in quantity: Taking approximately 12 to 18 months from the first drawing, including the design and job planning, through the completed, approved implant. "After receiving, for example, a request for a new product from an orthopedist, we first design and develop a prototype," explained Hans-Joachim Mahr, production manager at implantcast Corp. in Buxtehude, Germany (see sidebar). "The CNC controller assumes an important function for the transfer of the CAD/CAM data to the actual production. It supports the idea and the virtual model in a workpiece that the orthopedist then can hold in his hands for the first time." The stock-removal process is the typical manner for manufacturing artificial bones made of titanium. At implantcast, for example, the production of hip implants runs on DMG turning-milling centers equipped with the Siemens CNC Sinumerik 840D sl. Each implant also has an associated, specially tailored set of instruments required for the implantation. This includes, for example, a surgical rasp used to prepare the bone. http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6752/cnc-controlled-high-tech-machines-support-prosthetics-manufacturing.html http://www.cncmachinery.biz/detail/6752/cnc-controlled-high-tech-machines-support-prosthetics-manufacturing.html Fri, 16 Dec 2011 00:52:59 -0700 Incredibly affordable for a machine of its size and versatility, the 4X4 supplies off-roaders, engineers, hobbyists and fabricators a lifetime of precise, robotic metal-cutting and plasma-cutting capabilities.
