Smart manufacturing, also known as Industry 4.0,refers to a wide range of practices that use advanced technologies in a variety of combinations, from robotics and automation to additive manufacturing and cloud computing to big data and analytics. […]
You need to organize the material flow properly, be transparent about planning and control operations and identify standardization and modularization potentials throughout the entire order-fulfillment process, from costing to design and programming to production.To […]
The topic of automation is diverse, ranging from zero-point clamping systems on milling centers with pallet changers to linked, fully automated manufacturing cells. Multiple clamping is the most basic type of automation. […]
The screw injection molding machine differentiates from the plunger injection molding machine mainly in that the horizontally-pushed plunger in the charging barrel is replaced by a rotary screw which undertakes all the fusion, plastication as well as injection of the materials in the charging barrel. […]
The plunger injection molding machine pushes forward the fused plastics in the charging barrel […]
Hot runner manifold channel designis essential for the operation of an injection mold, impacting change-out time, part quality and even the number of possible drop locations in the mold. The key to advancing manifold design is having the ability to manufacture and implement curved channels in blocks of steel. […]
Computed tomography scanning, or CT scanning, is like having x-ray vision. One can see into a part and dimensionally measure features and structures without destroying the part while simultaneously taking numerous, accurate measurements. […]
According to the TIR made by testing workers and the TVR by quality inspection department, the MPI (Manufacture Processing Instruction) can thereby be formulated, wherein the following aspects are included: […]
What factors drive machinists to choose between solid carbide and indexable cutting tools? Machine Tool.Most milling machine tools purchased in the United States today are lighter-duty machines with CAT40 or HSK 63 spindles, […]
Most part-manufacturing processes today begin with a CAD model rather than a print. For subcontract mold shops, it may be the finished part model file that comes in from the customer’s design staff. […]
