Carbide-Tipped Band Saw Blades Available In Two Configurations
Advanz carbide-tipped band saw blades feature a high-quality, submicron-grain carbide tooth tip cylinder with a triple-chip grind, which is welded to a tough, ductile back. These blades also feature quality carbide-to-back bonding and offer fatigue, shock, wear and strip resistance when cutting difficult-to-machine materials, the company says. The blades are available in “FS” and “TS” configurations.

Carbide-Tipped Band Saw Blades
 The Advanz line of carbide-tipped band saw blades features a special tooth tip cylinder of high-quality, submicron-grain carbide with a triple-chip grind. The blades, which feature quality carbide-to-back bonding, offer fatigue, shock, wear and strip resistance when cutting difficult-to-machine materials. The FS blade configuration is designed for a range of challenging materials such as Fiberglass, masonite, plastics, composites, aluminum castings and abrasive wood.

Wireless Collection Of Measurement Data
In manufacturing, reacting to measurement data in a timely fashion is critical. A fast response to undesirable trends can prevent scrap or rework. The problem is, it can be slow and cumbersome to collect, deliver and analyze measurement data. Recent efforts to expedite this process have included shop-wide cable networks with bar code readers and other automated devices. The latest development along these lines is wireless data handling.

CMM Locks In Inspection And Productivity
This company, established more than 140 years ago, manufactures a high volume of brass padlocks annually. They are made on two large rotary transfer machines with drilling capabilities. The company is also doing reverse engineering for tooling purposes for other machines it uses in its manufacturing and assembly departments.

Scanning For Process Improvements
A coordinate measuring machine with a constant-contact scanning probe makes it possible to get better, more complete information about workpiece features, especially contours. Two shops talk about how this information helps streamline their production processes.
