Given recent advancements in metallurgy, additive manufacturing and indexable cutting tools, what will be solid carbide’s fate over the next decade?

The three keynote speakers of HOUSTEX, EASTEC, SOUTHTEC and WESTEC—the Manufacturing Technology Series—offer perspectives pertinent to manufacturers in general, but of particular use to small and medium-sized manufacturers.

Around the U.S., the major manufacturing regions are taking stock of the fallout from the pandemic and how they can navigate out of the lockdowns in 2020 to thrive once again.

The need to permanently laser mark parts for tracking and tracing continues to grow.

Selecting the right tool for threading aluminum begins with considering the key properties of aluminum; the pros and cons associated with the main choices of tools, cut taps or thread mills; and advances in tooling technology including coatings and coolant-through capability.

Nikel Precision Group also implemented solutions that optimize tool performance to improve quality, as well as production intelligence that provides real-time insights into factory performance.

Support for multi-start threads, tapered threads and cross centerline single-point threads give more control over complex threading processes.

Some trends in machining remain constant. Machine speeds continue to increase. Difficult-to-cut materials are used more frequently.

From the moment Norbert Kozar, CEO, took charge of Precision Swiss Products Inc. in 2007, he steered the Milpitas, Calif.-based job shop on a trajectory toward achieving both ISO 13485 certification and AS 9100 certification in a few short years.

Advanced cutting tools can maximize metal removal rates (MRR) when machining even the most difficult-to-machine materials. Powered by the latest CAM programs, these machining strategies are known variously as high-speed, high-efficiency, optimized roughing and also by proprietary brand names like Mastercam’s Dynamic Milling.
