A variable-speed VRT spindle machines an EDM electrode at 30,000 rpm. Multi-tasking functionality, as of late, has become quite the mantra for machine tool developers. These types of machines can ...

Spindle speeds between 25,000 rpm and 60,000 rpm, along with micro tooling, produces better part quality and improves cycle times for both small plastic and metal parts. (photo courtesy of ...

Carbon fiber composite gantry yields weight savings of 90% compared to steel alternative. Linear composites manufacturing process speeds production by eliminating welding and powder coating associated ...

Precision high-speed machining requires low-friction bearings that provide dynamic stability. Hybrid bearings with ceramic balls run faster and have higher stiffness than comparable all-steel bearings ...

A new study published in Engineering delves into the material removal mechanisms in ultra-high-speed machining (UHSM), a key technology in advanced manufacturing. High-performance engineering ...

The global CNC machine market stood at $95.29 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $195.59 billion by 2032. As manufacturers invest in more capable equipment, the harder question is whether those ...

Siemens used this test part to demonstrate new state-of-the-art milling techniques. It is made of tool steel hardened to 54 HRC and was machined on a Micron HPM 800U machining center. Something most ...
