Making Graphite in High-Speed Machining
High-speed machining centers have made it possible to machine intricate detail into almost any grade of graphite, a task that would have been impossible using manual or CNC machining equipment. […]
How to grade within Classifications in graphite
The physical properties of each grade of graphite determine the ranking within classifications. The properties that influence performance are particle size, flexural strength and shore hardness. […]
Introduce more details about Graphite
The graphite industry is constantly striving to produce higher quality grades. Graphite materials have continued to evolve along with the other aspects of the EDM industry, […]
Introduction to Graphite
Graphite is the material of choice for the majority of EDM electrodes produced today in the United States. Selecting the best grade of graphite for a particular application can be difficult if the differences between graphite grades are not understood. […]
Artificial Intelligence in CAM systems
Although a number of CAM systems have implemented or are implementing KBM, the level of automation and input required from customers varies. A CAM system may require a high level of front-end effort by users to embed their machining practices and rules. Some may require computer programming skills and the setup of custom databases and [...]
Taking KBM to the Next Level in CAD/CAM system
An important factor of KBM(knowledge-based machining)is retaining the design knowledge and information already inherent in a CAD model and using that information’s power. […]
Use defined features in CAM systems
Feature-based CAM systems provide a standard set of machinable features using common shop terms such as slot, groove, pocket, hole, side or face. To further improve automation and machining productivity, […]
Knowledge-Based is Changing the Limits of CAM
KBM (knowledge-based machining (KBM)) can be incorporated into CAD/CAM systems at various levels. By comparing operations-based and process-based CAM systems to the automation capabilities offered by feature-based machining, there is a full range of capabilities afforded by KBM. […]
Introduction to a Solution of data exchange
A new software tool designed for the downstream user of the CAD model analyzes the data and highlights the problem areas – CADfixT. These problems may be corrected automatically in many instances or repaired manually. […]
What are the effectiveness of data exchange?
There are ways that the average user can directly impact data exchange effectiveness. Obviously, one area where you can influence the process is by becoming better informed and prepared. […]
