A milling cutter is a rotating cutting tool used in milling machines or machining centers to remove material from a workpiece. It consists of one or more cutting edges, usually made of high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide, that rotate and…
Why is on-machine measuring technology necessary in CNC machining? 1. Improvement of manufacturing quality in machining In the past, the production process of machining was often susceptible to a variety of factors, including the role of man is particularly obvious,…
In the realm of mechanical engineering, various standards govern threads, and it’s time to organize and summarize them. Threads, whether metric or imperial, straight or tapered, sealed or unsealed, internal or external, with angles of 55 or 60 degrees, often…
The earliest firearm: “铳” Firearms have a long history, starting in 10th-century China. People then created early versions by putting bamboo tubes with gunpowder and pellets on spears. These portable “fire lances” could be operated by just one person. They…
As an integral part of injection molds, the water channel is located within the mold to guide the flow of cooling water, controlling temperatures, and expediting the cooling process. The mold cooling system is a crucial factor influencing the quality…
What are the axes of a CNC machine? When we refer to the axes of a CNC machine, we’re essentially delving into the spatial dimensions along which the machine can move and operate. Each axis represents a specific direction, and…
I. What is Turn-Milling CNC Machining? CNC machining, short for Computer Numerical Control machining, is a manufacturing process that utilizes computerized controls to manipulate cutting tools and equipment for precision machining. Within the realm of CNC machining, there exists a…
Introduction Passivation is a commonly used method for treating metal surfaces. Like many other surface treatment processes, its primary purpose is to protect metal surfaces from rust and corrosion. What sets the passivation process apart from many other surface treatment…
Sheet metal fabrication is the art of transforming raw metal sheets into various components and structures, serving a multitude of industries. While you may already be well-acquainted with the basics, we will delve deeper into the nuances that impact the…
MIG and TIG welding are two popular welding methods that share similarities, such as utilizing an electric arc and a shielding gas. However, there are distinct differences, particularly in the type of welding electrodes employed to establish the arc. MIG…
