Most Common Types of Precision CNC Machining

Buying a lathe is a big decision. A machine shop owner should consider the type of work they plan to do and future plans. What to Look For The lathe is one of the more complex machinery available to home workshop owners, or industrial production shops. It is also one of the most expensive tools […]

Surface grinders are a common fixture in heavy industry. These machines are used to refinish items such as pins, pistons and connecting rods, as well as machine tool components like ball screws, indexers and roller bearings. They are also commonly used for finishing molds and dies, especially those with flat surfaces. They need to be […]

If you have an industrial scale CNC machine and you are looking to sell it, there are many ways that you can do so. While some of the below ways are good routes to take, Tramar is the best fit for anyone looking to buy or sell used CNC machinery. With a wide variety of types […]

A machining process removes excess material to shape, size, and process a product into the desired final form. Unlike other manufacturing methods, machining can remove high amounts of material from hard materials without damaging them. It can also produce a higher production rate and reduce labor costs. Turning Turning, also known as rotary machining, is […]

CNC, or computer numerical control, is a method of controlling machine tools through programmable computers. It allows for highly precise machining that eliminates human error, and is now used across industries. The history of CNC machines traces back to the 1940s, when John Parsons worked on a system that was fed punch cards that told […]

Boring mills are machines that can bore through solid material, such as metal, without damaging the material itself. They work by using a bar with an insert attached to the end, which is fed into an existing hole in the workpiece and rotated until a chip forms on the surface. The insert itself can be […]

Brief Background: Lathe Machine Invented at around 1751 by Jacques de Vaucanson, the Lathe machine is a tool used even during the ancient times, dubbed as the “Standard Machine Tools’ Father/Mother” and is considered as the machine that is the most flexible, in terms of function, among all the other machines. Purpose and Types: CNC […]

About FANUC Corporation FANUC, which stands for Fuji Automatic Numerical Control, was a company founded by Doctor Seiuemon Inaba – the person who developed the concept of Numerical Control (NC) – at Minamitsuru, Japan in the year 1956. The company is currently considered as the “Largest Robotics company in the World”. The company initially developed […]

To better navigate an object, having basic knowledge regarding its background (such as – what it is, its purpose, types, and outcomes) is important. CNC Machines, such as CNC Lathes, are required to be programmed to produce results. These machines can be programmed in two ways – either by using the CAD/CAM system or directly […]

In the manufacturing industry, the use of CNC machines has become dominant. It promises improved processing and quality results. It also holds the key for a fast, accurate and cost-efficient operation – it helps minimize expense as it cuts costs on paying workers that serve the same function as the machines. In terms of benefits, […]

CNC machines are reputed for their ability to work non-stop and produce quality outputs. However, in order to maximize its lifespan, it needs to be maintained. Much like humans, machines are prone to over-working and require regular maintenance. They need to be cleaned, lubricated and treated well in order to last long. If your CNC […]

Due to its efficacy, accuracy, and precision – Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machines have become a vital tool for manufacturing companies, especially those that cater the demands of these industries – Medical, Optical, Military Defense, Commercial Goods, Aerospace, Transportation, Petroleum, Marine, and Electronics – these machine are vital for reproducing high quality and reliable parts […]

The most trusted brand in the market – We often hear or read this phrase whenever we come across ads or in-person pitches from marketing assistants wherein they state/claim that they are part of the top most brands among their respective categories, if not the best. However, with all the brands claiming they are the […]

Industries such as – The Marine Industry, Medicine, Optical, Automotive, Consumer goods, Robotics, Telecommunications, Aerospace, and Military Defense – are all heavily reliant to Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) Machines for the production of their parts and goods due to its speed, precision, accuracy, and timeliness. The machines’ ability to work with any materials and mass-produce […]

Computer Numerical Control Milling machines – also dubbed as the CNC Mill – works through removing excess parts from a material and comes in two variants: The Horizontal and Vertical Milling. They are typically used to produce flat and curved Parts. In an airplane, the flat parts are mostly created as transmission boxes, cavities, bearing […]

Precision CNC Machining is a practice where machines function by trimming or cutting excess raw materials and shape work pieces according to its planned design. The objects produced are precise and achieve the specified measurement programmed to the CNC machines. The most common processes are milling, turning, cutting, and electrical discharge. These machines are applied […]

MAKINO: A REPUTED BRAND Around May 1937, Makino Shoten was founded by Tsuzeno Makino. Later in 1961, the company was renamed as “Makino Milling Machine Co., Ltd.”. True to its name, the company has created a reputation of being the manufacturer of the No. 1 Type Vertical Milling Machines. The company was also the one […]

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are heavy-duty and extremely accurate performers. Machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, and multi-axis machining centers perform multiple complicated machining tasks at the same time and sometimes lead to long uninterrupted periods of production. Studies show that manufacturing and process industries lose an estimated $20 to $60 billion each […]

Vertical Machining Center (VMC) is a machining center in which the spindle axis and the rectangular worktable are set vertically, which is suitable for processing workpieces with high accuracy and precision, even with multiple procedures and complex shapes. The spindle cartridge is mounted in a housing that moves vertically which is known as the z-axis […]

Turning Machines: Get to Know your CNC Lathes Due to its speed and accuracy, Computer Numerical Control Lathes (CNC Lathes), often referred as “Turning Machines”, are preferred by industries that mass produce symmetrically shaped objects. It is highly-praised since it is easier and more efficient to use. In the production process, human intervention is low […]
