May 9th, 2008

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 »

Floor, table and others types of horizontal boring mills

May 2nd, 2008

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 »

Understanding the basic difference between machine tool retrofit, remanufacture and rebuild process

April 4th, 2008

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 »
