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 ...

This innovation integrates milling and turning operations into a single machining process; a single machine can now execute milling, turning, mill-turn, or turn-mill operations, all while using the ...

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 ...

ZIMMERMANN INC. is offering the new five-axis portal milling machine developed by parent company F. Zimmermann GmbH for its new FZP machine series: Zimmerman is targeting model-, tool-, and die-making ...

New milling machine technology allows you to achieve tighter tolerances, maintain high production rates and avoid placing new demands on the milling crew. “The newer generation of grade controls, ...

Milling machines, also known as cold planers, complete the same task today as they did 30 years ago, but they have seen several innovations over the years and are continuing to evolve. It was actually ...

Everyone wants to reduce cycle times, but simply machining faster isn’t necessarily the answer. If high speed milling comes at the cost of reduced tool life and surface finish, the minutes gained ...

One of the original ideas behind the RepRap project was for the machines to create their own upgrades. That philosophy is shining brightly in [Ivan Miranda] CNC milling machine project, which has been ...

The Climax LM5200 and LM6200 portable milling machines are designed with a split rail system to easily perform both linear and gantry milling with a minimum of changeovers. A rigid, modular bed design ...
