Common Attributes of Tool Steels and the Essence of Machining Them
26 September 2022
Various manufacturers use metal materials to produce parts and products needed by different industries. One of the reasons why metals are used by manufacturers is they are malleable. This quality allows them to alter their shape and form factor. Durability is another reason why manufacturers use metal materials in producing a wide array of components. Some metals, however, boast more qualities that make them recommended for specific needs. Tool steels, for instance, are carbon or alloy steels that are often processed to produce tools and tooling such as cutting tools, hand tools, knives, and dies. Tool Steels Primary Attributes Manufacturers […]

The Primary Differences Between EDM Wire Cutting and EDM Die Sinking
06 September 2022
Before, manufacturers would turn to manual machining processes to produce various parts and products. They would mostly use tools that can remove materials from workpieces, ensuring they boast the right shape, dimensions, and other qualities. Today, however, manufacturers have adopted non-traditional machining processes in carrying out their operations. One machining process that they use is electrical discharge machining. Electrical discharge machining or EDM is a process where materials are removed from a part or workpiece through a series of repeated electrical discharges between the electrodes or the tools and the part being machined. This process is normally carried out alongside […]

A Quick Guide to Preparing a CAD File for CNC Machining
23 August 2022
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 […]

Common Industries That Can Take Advantage of 5-Axis Machining
08 August 2022
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 […]

Top 4 CNC Machine Problems and How to Troubleshoot Them
25 July 2022
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, […]
