A gripper is a device which enables the holding of an object to be manipulated. The easier way to describe a gripper is to think of the human hand. Just like a hand, a gripper enables holding, tightening, handling and releasing of an object. A gripper is just one component of an automated system. A […]
When there is a change in any industrial competitions, manufacturers need to be aware of such change in this fierce battle. Besides, suppliers who provide support and service providers who work behind the scene need to adjust their working conditions to fit in this new scenario. In the past, many manufacturers focused on how to […]

The recent arrival of PrimeTurning™ from Sandvik Coromant, an all-directional turning and tools has re-written the conventional rules of this age-old machining process, offering tantalising improvements in productivity. The question for machine shops now is whether they can – or should – make use of this new process in their own operations. There are many […]
Throughout the world, on a daily basis, machine tool operators must contend with unwelcome vibrations when metal cutting. Vibrations may occur due to issues related to the machine tool itself, problems due to a tool’s length and/or its clamping method, the programming of a controller, or a combination of any of these factors. With conventional […]
A proper tool management system can save tool costs and shorten NC programming and positioning times provided the actual, real tool data is available to CAM programmers during the programming stage. It’s an ongoing challenge. To remain competitive, shops must find new and more efficient ways to increase production. Often they look to new, faster […]
