Micro “Turning” Using Wire EDM
It’s challenging to accurately turn or grind miniature round parts. That’s because the pressure that tools or grinding wheels exert on parts such as the micro electrode on page 56 can cause the parts to deflect, making it difficult to achieve accurate concentricity. In fact, in some cases it’s impossible to machine such tiny parts using these conventional methods.

Delcam’s PowerMILL to support UK’s largest Mecof machine
|
|
Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM system will be used to drive the UK’s largest Mecof machine tool, a twelve and a half metre long machine that has been installed by Concept Group International (Cgi) at its purpose-built Coventry, UK, headquarters. This large machine is the latest addition to the 4,000 sq. m Cgi facility, which has been rated by Jaguar Cars Design Director Ian Callum as "one of the most technically advanced in Europe.”

More Turrets, More Tools, Less Cycle Time
In the last decade or so, no type of machine tool has evolved more rapidly or more drastically then the turn-mill machine. The TNX65/42 from Traub, part of the Index Group (Germany and Noblesville, Indiana) shows a shift in the design of these machines. Whereas the focus had been on flexibility (combining operations to finish a part in one pass), designers are now emphasizing productivity. On this model, the builder is arranging spindles and tool turrets to reduce cycle time, although flexibility stands to gain as well. The result, the company says, is a turn-mill that can offer cycle times comparable to those acheived on a multi-spindle automatic.

Two new agencies for Ward Hi-Tech
Ward Hi-Tech has taken on the UK agency for Famup high speed travelling column vertical machining centres, and also for HNK VTLs and horizontal borers. The Famup 'MMV Linear' travelling column models feature x-axis travels of 1600 mm and 2000 mm, high speed spindles from 12,000 rpm to 30,000 rpm and linear axis motors giving 60 m/min rapid traverse rates together with high levels of accuracy and repeatability. Optional control systems including Fanuc, Heidenhain and Siemens and the machines can be configured to accommodate long work pieces or a pendulum load arrangement can be utilised.

First shipment of blades from Siemens’ new wind turbine blade factory in U.S.
The first wind turbine blades manufactured at the new Siemens blade factory in Fort Madison, Iowa, left the facility on Tuesday, August 14. The blades for the SWT-2.3-93 wind turbines are bound for the Sweetwater Wind Farm, west of Abilene, Texas. Each blade is 148 feet long, nearly the width of an American football field and weighs approximately 12 tons. The project owner is Sweetwater Wind 5 LLC, jointly owned by Babcock and Brown and Catamount Energy.

Delcam’s PartMaker receives Autodesk Certification
Delcam is pleased to announce that PartMaker Version 8, the latest version of its PartMaker CAM software for Turn-Mill Centres and Swiss-type lathes, has been certified by the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program for use with Autodesk’s Inventor 2008 solid modelling design system. To attain this certification, the PartMaker suite of products had to meet the Program’s strict criteria, including demonstrating a high level of interoperability with Autodesk Inventor 2008. The certification, which follows the recent approval of Delcam’s FeatureCAM range, is granted by Autodesk only after a product has been approved after a rigorous testing process.

SINUMERIK CNC Technology for Aerospace
Lighter, faster, higher, further - these are the clear requirements of the aerospace industry for the aircraft of the future. The requests for higher process safety, more productivity and more progress have far-reaching consequences for the manufacturing of your structural components. With today's integral components made of aluminum, chip removal rates of more than 90% have become common. This new chipping volume can only be achieved cost-effectively, precisely and with perfect surface quality by using High-Speed Cutting (HSC) technology.

Doosan machine tools to incorporate MachineWorks simulation software
Doosan Infracore will be integrating MachineWorks simulation software within its CNC machines. MachineWorks’ core technology is in simulation of material removal and clash and gouge detection of any type of CNC machining. Because of the demand for simulation within the machine tool environment, MachineWorks is putting an even greater effort into the areas of accuracy and real time simulation. “We believe that true solid 3D simulation will become a standard feature on all controllers in the near future ,” says Mike Nicholson, sales and marketing director, MachineWorks, Sheffield.
