The V100 is a multiple-surface, five-axis double-column machine capable of continuous machining without head change, thanks to a spindle head with B and C axes. It achieves high productivity while ...

Machine shops' labor concerns are typically involve training and experience, but new factors are presenting new problems: Whether it's the need to reduce labor costs due to declining work orders, or ...

Advanced machining can solve many of the challenges of today’s increasingly difficult-to-produce parts such as miniaturization, part complexity, strict tolerances, thin walls, material hardness and ...

• Ultraprecision machining produces fine finishes not possible with any other machining technology. • Lower costs has let UPM branch into many industries. • UPM can also make tiny patterns on parts.

Using a tool shaped more like the surface it is finishing reduces cycle time and improves finish. Much has been made of newer roughing strategies such as high efficiency milling and for good reason.

There are plenty of reasons to take advantage of today’s five-axis machining technology. First, it gives you access to all five sides of a prismatic workpiece. If for no other reason than being able ...
