It is an exciting time for advanced manufacturing, there are many evolving innovations, advancing manufacturing with a web of digital technologies. The amount of information and tools available to help manufacturing is amazing and at times overwhelming. Computer-aided design and manufacturing software (CAD/CAM software) have made it possible to innovate and produce new products with less error and greater speed, compared to the decades before. When I started CNC programming, I used a paper notepad, a pencil and calculator. I would create the process program outline on the note pad, select my ..read more

I will discuss as a VT CNC Programmer the important basic steps in setting up work on a CNC slant bed turret lathe for a chucking operation with machined soft jaws. These basic steps make it possible to have a high degree of confidence the job being set up will run trouble free and consistent after the setup has been completed. The focus of this example will be the setup of the tooling and work holding for the machine tool, not the program or different methods of teaching tool geometries. The assumption in this example is that the operator will have a simple tool list of common outside diamete ..read more

Five Axis CNC Machining and the machines are amazing to work with, they are sophisticated CNC machines that can improve your bottom line. CNC programmers are working with 5 axis CNC machines more often now than a decade ago because of the realized benefits associated with the machines. 5-axis machines can be intimidating because they are more complex than your regular VMC or HMC, but there are many benefits to having one. What’s Different? If you currently process parts on a VMC or HMC without 5-axis capabilities you are creating more machine set-ups to process work pieces. However, 5-axis ma ..read more

This year’s World Maker Fair in New York yielded a very creative DIY “Rotomill”, a simple three-axis CNC machine, with a rotary axis, that just about anyone can build. This is pretty cool.https://adam.zeloof.xyz/2018/07/04/three-axis-rotary-cnc/A three-axis rotary CNC built for the Mechanical Engineering senior design capstone course at Carnegie Mellon University by a team of engineering students. The CNC uses NEMA24 motors for each of the axes, with the X and Z axes actuated by lead screws,https://adam.zeloof.xyz/2018/07/04/three-axis-rotary-cnc/and the A (rotary) axis actuated by a worm gear ..read more
