Numerous manufacturing businesses maximise manual machining as part of their core operations. Manual machining, after all, allows them to customise metal materials without requiring expensive tools and machines. But keeping the operational expenses low does not always yield high revenues and productivity levels. Manual machining may not even be efficient for bigger production since it would require multiple employees to get everything done. And since workers must directly process the workpieces, they might be exposed to injury risks as the tools can be sharp. Businesses, therefore, are now adopting computer numerical control (CNC) machining to carry out vital machining processes […]

Machining is the controlled cutting of materials, granting manufacturers products with their desired final shape and size. Many of them carry out machining by using different types of tools. Some of these tools include lathes, drilling machines, and milling machines. Most tools used in the machining process can all be operated manually. But as time passes, their overall movement and behaviour can already be regulated by a computer. With the introduction of computer numerical control (CNC) machines, more and more industries have moved on from manual machining and subsequently embraced the said machines. CNC machines have led to the creation […]

Computer numerical control or CNC machining has been simplifying key manufacturing processes ever since it has been adopted by industries. One great thing about CNC machining is it automates the movement and operation of various industrial tools, which makes every process efficient and safe. CNC machining does not likewise generate waste and defects. It even minimises energy use. The benefits associated with CNC machining increase as technological advancements continue. From the software that handles the behaviour of the tools down to the tools themselves, more valuable changes can surely be expected out of this type of machining, especially when cutting, […]

Industries often opt for machining processes to produce their needed parts and products. And one notable machining process that they maximise is the conventional turning. Conventional turning is a machining process that shears the outside or inside of workpieces. This process is done by a lathe, which is known for being one of the oldest machine tools still utilised today. Turning can generate materials with various shapes such as straight, curved, conical, and grooved. To date, conventional turning can be further branched out into various operations. Some of the most common conventional turning operations you should know are as follows. […]

Before, the manufacturing industry must do everything manually just to get things done. From designing the parts to their actual manufacturing processes, the industry can only carry out these activities with the help of professionals in the field. But as years pass by, the industry saw huge improvements and advancements in technology. And as automation finds its way into the industry, many manufacturing plants start to embrace modern approaches toward design and production. Two elements that are being maximised by the manufacturing industry today are computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Understanding CAD and CAM Principles CAD is the […]
