Dear Subscribers,

CNC TIMES is a community of "CNC" Users sharing their ideas to make it's members rich by knowledge . We work on a principle which advocates itself in the following manner "If you have one Rupee and I have one Rupee and if we exchange we have a Rupee each. If you have one idea and I have one idea and if we exchange we have two ideas each." CNC TIMES is an effort to bring about a faster revolution in implementing CNC technology by integrating tens of thousands of CNC personnel's knowledge in the trade.

Everybody agrees that half of the advertisement expenditure is waste. The problem is, one doesn't know which half. For advertising on Internet, this problem is taken care of ,as feedback is immediate.

Design and Manufacturing Technology is the by product of exclusive domain of knowledge resources. We mean to say that the Human Beings are the most important resources of the Manufacturing world. For Job Opportunity in Design and Manufacturing Engg. please send your resumes to: jobs@cnctimes.com or visit us at

|| ACCESSORIES ||

A five-minute Eye Opener to Alternate Gripping Methods for Grinding Machines

Are you utilizing your grinding machine to its full job capacity? Many machine operators don't think past centers, arbors, fixtures and magnetic chucks. Many shops are still doing second operation work when they could be set up to finish parts complete with an alternate workholding method. Here are several suggestions for additional or improved gripping solutions passed along by the workholding experts.

Volumetric Accuracy Defines Machine Accuracy

However, conventional volumetric positioning error is still defined as the root-mean-square of linear displacement errors on three axes. This definition is not adequate to keep up with progress in manufacturing technology, because the other positioning errors, such as straightness and squareness errors, are not included. Here, 3-D volumetric positioning accuracy is defined as the root-mean-square of the sum of all errors in the X, Y, and Z directions. This definition includes all the positioning errors, such as the straightness errors and squareness errors, and also the effect of angular errors. It truthfully represents the 3-D volumetric positioning accuracy, and has good correlation with geometric errors, body diagonal displacement errors, and parts accuracy.
