Today’s products require high finishes, burr-free edges, freedom from contamination, and often close tolerances. Electropolishing provides all of those conditions and more in a matter of seconds for many metal parts. It is a process that has been used for more than a hundred years. It is widely known and the science is widely discussed, but its ability to run job shop lots and high-precision high-volume parts in the same equipment makes it a bit unique.
Jared Leick, machining center product group manager of Mazak Corp. discusses how horizontal machining and automation revolutionized production at Aerotech inc., enhancing precision and productivity in high-mix/low-volume manufacturing.

3 Simple Steps to Incorporate Cobots
Hopefully, your manufacturing operations are like shooting fish in a barrel. But without
robust machine monitoring and the IIoT, you’re more likely going to be shooting in the dark.
Can’t we all just get along? We can, thanks to smarter, more human-aware robotics.
The robotics and machine automation supplier says its new cobots can handle payloads of up to 12 kg.
