New Ways For Hard Turning
The way system on machine tools is
designed to perform two basic
functions. Its first role is to
provide an accurate track for the
moving components to travel on. The
second is to act as a channel to
direct the dynamic forces generated
in cutting away from the cutting
zone.

Delcam’s PowerINSPECT helps keeps
customers happy
Using Delcam’s PowerINSPECT
inspection software with a Romer
inspection arm has reinforced
customer confidence at Friendship
Industries, a blacksmith shop in
Sterling Heights, Michigan. “With
the Romer arm and PowerINSPECT,
customers can see exactly what is
going on with dimensional quality,
piece by piece, from the reports,”
said Blake Francis, who oversees
quality assurance at the company.
“They can compare the actual
measurements, tolerances and
deviations with the original CAD
drawings or with the engineering
specifications. We and they are very
happy with Romer and PowerINSPECT.

The Overhang Effect
High speed machining can require
adjustments to the process that are
counter-intuitive. When chatter
occurs, the natural reflex is to
reduce spindle speed, but increasing
the speed may in fact be a more
productive response. Another common
response to chatter is to switch to
a tool with a smaller
length-to-diameter ratio, because of
the seeming stiffness of a shorter
tool. In certain cases, however, a
tool that reaches farther will
deliver a superior cut.

The Sherline CNC Rotary
Table
We have created a modified program
for the Sherline CNC Rotary Table
Controller to allow it to drive
other rotary tables. If you already
have a rotary table and wish to
utilize our controller, send us an
email. You will need to use the
Sherline 23 frame stepper motor with
1/4" shaft and 120 oz/in of torque.
We also need to know the worm gear
ratio of your table. Currently we
support 40:1, 72:1, and 90:1 ratios.
Others may be available on request.

'Developing world will drive volumes
in e-com'
The e-commerce volumes are likely to
remain negligible until the
business-to-business (B2B) market
takes off in the developing
countries, warns the e-commerce and
