The five-axis milling process continues to expand and evolve as machine tools and tooling become more capable. As an example, I recently learned about a new workholding system introduced to the market ...

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 ...

It’s easy to assume that not much has changed with face mills for a while. There’s been so much attention on other milling processes over the last few years, and face mills, or shell mills, were ...

Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

The patent-pending uP-Gear process — co-developed by Heller Machine Tools and Voith Turbo — is aimed at manufacturers of vehicles, machines, or machine components, that machine large gears in low ...

In the newly established AI Production Network, scientists are researching how artificial intelligence, AI, can optimise production processes. Many steps and facets of industrial production are being ...

The bulk of the milling machine market consists of half-lane machines weighing from 60,000 to 90,000 pounds and typically equipped with roughly 7-foot-wide cutting drums, which are powered by 600- to ...
