Liquid silicone rubbers are supplied in barrels or hobbocks. Because of their low viscosity, these rubbers can be pumped through pipelines and tubes to the vulcanization equipment. The two components are pumped through a static mixer by a metering pump. […]
Injection molding of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is a process to produce pliable, durable parts in high volume. […]
Milling is the process of cutting away material by feeding a workpiece past a rotating multiple tooth cutter. […]
Milling machines are among the most versatile and useful machine tools due to their capabilities to perform a variety of operations. […]
Choosing the correct EDM oil can make a substantial difference in the overall performance of your EDM department. […]
Copper is more efficiently cut on WEDM machines, which makes it cut much faster than graphite in WEDM. Highly detailed electrodes, […]
A major advance in the manufacture of dies and punches has been the use of wirecut EDM. This die is part of a three-unit pierce die assembly. […]
A simple wirecut EDM operation produced an intricate Ampco 45 bronze mount jaw, which requires tolerances to within +/-.0005″. The manufacturer saved an estimated $300 on special cutters, […]
Wirecut EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is a thermal machining process. Sparks discharged from a small-diameter, tensioned wire erode the workpiece without any contact between the tool and the part produced. […]
EDM dielectric additives can subtract labor costs for mold makers by eliminating the need for secondary hand polishing. […]
