CNC controllers are basically computer numerically controlled (CNC) devices, which precisely control machines and processes. Here we get familiar with various useful and practical features of CNC controllers Read the rest of this entry »
There are two basic types of horizontal boring mills, namely floor-type and table-type. The two differ in their applications, features and usage as follows:
1. In a table-type machine, the job is set up on the machine table, and is usually moveable. This is because the work then can be easily brought to the machine. Read the rest of this entry »
Following are the major parts of the horizontal boring mill are as follows:
• Headstock: It is the unit that supports the drives and also feeds the tool. It may comprise one or two spindles - one fast-moving for lighter operations like drilling and tapping and one slow-moving for heavier operations of boring. Read the rest of this entry »
CNC Horizontal boring mill is indeed a versatile machine that can conform to a number of complicated and key machining operations, such as boring, milling, reaming, drilling, tapping, turning, threading, forming, shaping, and duplication. Read the rest of this entry »
Lathe machines were originally devised to machine metals. Owing to their inherent versatility, they were gradually employed in a wide array of applications and materials. Read the rest of this entry »
A retrofit essentially comprises ‘replacing the machine’s control’. Retrofits are generally executed at the customer’s location, saving downtime as well as transportation cost. Machines in good condition are best suitable for retrofits. Many of the components can be replaced or added, such as spindle motor and/or spindle drive, re-wire of the machine tool, and new feedback devices. Read the rest of this entry »
