Sheffield-based Tecomet, formerly Symmetry Medical, has recently installed three Hermle trunnion-type 5-axis machining centres for manufacturing stainless steel medical components.
GEORG presents the new horizontal machining centers of the series ultraturn MC at this year's AMB in virtual reality: In the "GEORG-Cinema" visitors will be equipped with 3D glasses which allow them to experience a machine longitude up to 30 m within one`s reach.
The new CoroMill® 316 generation of exchangeable-head milling cutters from Sandvik Coromant enhances the company’s established Solid Round Tools portfolio by bringing higher levels of versatility and productivity to machining operations in ISO P (steel) and ISO M (stainless steel) materials.
Airbus has recently contracted Aequs Aerospace, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aequs Private Limited, to supply over 100,000 titanium machined parts for the A320neo (new engine option) programme, as a further boost to the ‘Make in India’ programme.
Cam-Tech Manufacturing, a division of PCX Aerostructures LLC, a supplier of highly engineered, precision, flight critical and structural assemblies for rotorcraft and fixed wing aerospace platforms, has recently completed the installation of a new state-of-the-art machining centre allowing for expanded production of high quality, large format aircraft parts at their Texas facility.
Stainless steel can be machined using a variety of methods depending on the specific type of stainless steel and the desired outcome. Here are some common methods of machining stainless steel:
Turning: This involves rotating the stainless steel workpiece on a lathe and using a cutting tool to remove material from the surface.
Milling: This involves using a milling machine to remove material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece using a rotating cutting tool.
Drilling: This involves using a drill bit to create holes in the stainless steel workpiece.
Grinding: This involves using a grinding wheel or other abrasive tool to remove material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece.
EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): This involves using stainless steel electrodes and a small electrical charge to erode material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece.
Laser Cutting: This involves using a high-powered laser to cut through the stainless steel workpiece.
It’s worth noting that machining stainless steel can be more challenging than machining other metals due to its hardness, toughness, and tendency to work-harden. Therefore, it’s important to use appropriate cutting tools and machining parameters to ensure a high-quality finished product.
