Understanding and controlling runout is crucial for any machine shop looking to maintain competitive advantages in today's precision-driven manufacturing environment.
Here are some insights into the extra care and know-how needed to achieve success and build a successful reputation as a reliable supplier of micro machined parts.
Presetters have evolved. Powerful PC-based, touchscreen controls can connect to other important components and systems across an entire metalworking business. This connectivity allows for the fast, accurate exchange of data.
Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.
A machine’s spindle is one of the key links in the machining chain. It makes regular inspection and spindle maintenance critical to getting the most out of your equipment and maintain process efficiency.
The return on investment from digital boring comes from the time saved making adjustments on the spindle, as well as the increased adjustment accuracy.
