For today’s industrial cutting tool manufacturers there is a continuous and increasing demand for faster cycle times, better asset utilization, tighter tolerances and improved quality. Running a successful manufacturing facility takes more than acquiring the latest state- of-the-art equipment and the most advanced grinding technology.

Industry 4.0 is often referred to as smart manufacturing, where technology enables interconnectivity for machines and manufacturing software and systems. It also provides “Big Data,” increased visibility and remote access to manufacturing assets.

Constant refinement of medical machining from tooling design to finished product requires not only the ability to handle a broad range of plastic and metal materials but also to achieve predictable results—particularly in the face of strict regulations.

Advanced toolholding and workholding devices offer gripping prowess—and sometimes more

Should you coat in-house? Factors to consider include costs, supply chain issues and the ability to make proprietary coatings.

In today’s ever-changing environment, planning—and investing in next-generation solutions—is more critical than ever.

There is no real problem with threading a pipe. Most DIY types can do it in their workshop with hand tools, but when the pipe is 40′ long and ordered by the ton, you are in oil country. Pumping crude oil out of the ground requires drill pipe, casing, tool joints, tees, crosses, flanges, and couplings. All those items need to be machined. And that takes specialized workholding.

If you’re looking for new solutions to tooling and workholding challenges, IMTS was a great place to start. The bi-annual trade show, held this past September in Chicago, allowed shops to browse for the “latest and greatest” technologies.

Zekelman Industries had a goal to deliver steel-framed, volumetric modular building units up to 50 percent faster, without cost overruns, built to 1/16” (1.59-mm) tolerance.

The structure of CMMC 2.0 has been streamlined to be slightly less stringent and easier to implement, especially for shops in the lower tiers of the supply chain.
