Laser marking ensures safe traceability as well as counterfeit protection.

Not long ago, the mention of workholding might call to mind the traditional vise or three-jaw chuck. The integral nature of proper fixturing to successful machining has forever changed that paradigm and made workholding as critical to the manufacturing process as any of the machines or systems of which it is a part.

The history of cutting tools goes back a ways—a long, long way. Our prehistoric ancestors were pretty good at making stone tools, and the technology has improved from there. I saw how much on a February visit to the Deutsches Museum in Munich, which has an exhibit on the history of machining.

Dedicated in-house labs create and optimize laser welding processes for electric motors and batteries.

Machining gears is still regarded by many machine tool operators as a true challenge and a realm reserved exclusively for specialists.

Incremental changes highlight recent advances in the wake of severe supply chain challenges.

To be competitive in today’s dynamic manufacturing environment, small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) need to implement mechanisms to facilitate the effective processing of multiple streams of highly volatile and time-sensitive customer requirements.

The path to better setups can be a zero-sum game; not all systems are created equally.

IMTS to highlight how wide-ranging processes are finding fresh ways to work together.

Smart manufacturing is transforming A&D manufacturing as more companies adopt automation, artificial intelligence and robotics. Some manufacturers are also focusing on eliminating so-called islands of automation and integrating the technology across entire processes.
