Are Bar Fed Machining Centers the Next Big Thing?
Advanced mill-turn machines with bar fed material handling can overcome several inherent weaknesses of production machining on vertical machining centers.
New Use of Hard Machining Can Replace EDM
Throughout the past decade, new developments in cutting tools and machining center technologies have opened the door for milling of complex component shapes and geometries in hardened materials (55 Rc and above) that were previously accomplished through Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). Although EDM is one of the most accurate manufacturing processes available for intricate shapes, there are some less-than-desirable issues that come with it. For example, production of a typical part requires 4 to 5 electrodes because of wear.
