Back in the day, screw machines were synonymous with Brown and Sharpe, a type of high-volume automatic lathe. Since those machines are increasingly rare, the term is mostly used to
Imagine a software system that can eat massive amounts of data and spit out in-depth analyses, answer questions, and make informed decisions. That’s the power of AI.
Two new turning products, the TRAK TC2 and the TRAK TC820si, are designed for production applications. The TC2 is a slant-bed lathe featuring the ProtoTRAK RLX CNC made for low-volume/high-mix
A standard in any CNC machine shop, CAD/CAM is a software platform that supports part drawing and design (CAD), as well as toolpath creation and generation of "G-code" for a specific machine
The computer screen you're looking at right now? It's a human-machine interface. So is the display on your coffee maker, the ATM where you get cash every Friday, the screen
Among the oldest of all manufactured products, castings are made by pouring molten metal into a mold cavity that has been shaped with a pattern resembling the target workpiece (sand or investment
