Contour Metrological & Manufacturing, Inc. (CMM) is a shop unlike most others. Specializing in very high-end optics, tools for optics and ultra-precision tooling primarily for military and aerospace customers, optimum finishes and accuracies are not only desired but required as well. MICHIGAN...
Producing fine finishes on EDMed surfaces has long been a goal, especially for mold and die shops that operate ram-type electrical discharge machines. Lately, there has been renewed interest in using additives in the dielectric oil to achieve ultra fine finishes with graphite electrodes without excessive...
Tom Frick, owner of Intricate EDM of Columbia, cranks out a lot of big business by replacing his aging wire EDM machine to keep up with the demands of his customers and turnaround jobs more quickly with Makino HEAT wire EDM machines.
Any manufacturing advantage could be the winning margin on a die/mold project. Since tool length measurement is a necessary and repetitive task, saving just a little time (and effort) can return major benefits and provide a true economic edge. Tool length measurement can provide a means of reducing labor...
Growing demands for machining of hardened materials, requiring exceptional submicron surface finishes will be reviewed in this webinar. See how progressive stamping dies, PCD tooling, motor cores and LED dies and molds can be machined faster, and with 0.2 Rz surface finishes utilizing new oil-based dielectric...
Automated multiple-sided machining which eliminates the need for in-work processing will be discussed in this webinar. This presentation focuses on extrusion die manufacturing, offering process advantages including unattended machine time over traditional machining methods utilizing a versatile horizontal...
Makino and Blum will demonstrate new "form control" techniques to show a freshly machined part's accuracy while still in the fixture, and graphically demonstrate and confirm the accuracy compared to the computer model of the part. We will also demonstrate tool length measurement and tool...
