Video: Milling For Prototypes
Learn how Designcraft applies CNC machining for prototyping.
Improving Milling Accuracy
VIDEO. How you use the machining center is just as important as the quality of the machine itself. This tutorial covers machining center leveling, alignment and temperature—as well as toolchange and setup procedures.
Video: Automatic Part Verification Through Reference Comparison
The machining center in this automated production process inspects its own work and updates its own positioning. Probing a known, traceable reference makes this possible.
Video: Grouping HMCs For Greater Efficiency
VIDEO. In a lean machining facility, grouping horizontal machining centers close together allows a small number of operators to use the machines efficiently.
Video: Laser Tool Probing For Productivity And Accuracy
The ability to measure tool offsets while the tool is spinning can improve both the accuracy and performance of the process in various ways.
Video: Linear Motor Micromachining Center
Video shows the smooth, quiet, rapid motion characteristic of effective micromilling.
50-Micron Milled Channels
Video captured with a microscope shows that a full-scale machining center is capable of micro-size milling work.
Micro-Turned and Micro-Milled Workpiece
Video captured with a microscope shows micromachined part.
Video: Five-Axis Milling On Linear-Motor Machining Center
Linear motors take the place of ballscrews on this machine performing high speed cutting of aluminum at a job shop near Atlanta.
Video: Horizontal Profiler For Aerospace Machining
An alternative to the typical profiler design, this machine saves labor by allowing chips to fall out of the way.
