The International Magazine for CNC Manufacturing
Practical CNC machining applications and customer success stories.
Hamilton Caster and its equipment suppliers describe an automated wheel-machining cell centered on a DN Solutions SMX 2600S. Its claimed 900-wheel weekly capacity needs careful context.
FARO's Quantum X measurement arm and FAROBlu laser probe target difficult finishes; faster point capture does not necessarily mean faster quality decisions.
Rimeco's Harmoni case study describes reducing paper reporting and disconnected machine information; benefits are company-reported and depend on implementation.
Fives presents scan-led mirror milling as an alternative to chemical milling on selected panels, with savings dependent on actual geometry and process baselines.
A vendor-reported campaign filled 150 idle machine hours; targeting parts to available equipment is a useful sales idea, but revenue is not profit.
ZEISS combines its Virtual Clamping app and Guided Holding Kit to inspect parts with less application-specific fixturing, but drawing datum conditions remain central.
SHINING 3D's EinScan Trak mixes optical tracking and detachable handheld scanning; selection depends on registration and working-volume requirements.
