Die-Sink EDM Forms Complex Parts

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a unique process. The shapes and tolerances produced by this method are next to impossible to create using traditional machining techniques. These abilities, combined with a high demand for complex parts from the automotive, aerospace, and medical sectors, are making EDM a must-have for modern shops. Die-sinker EDMs, in particular, often can solve the problems posed by machining materials such as high-nickel-content alloys used in the aerospace industry. Also, the complicated shapes and deep pockets commonly found in the mold-making industry are two-part features that pose a challenge to CNC chipping machines. However, these geometries lend themselves well to the CNC die-sinking process. Click here to read the full article.

Remote Monitoring to Make Better Decisions

Ranger HVAC Uses Remote Monitoring to Make Better Shop Floor Decisions Ranger Heating and Air Conditioning Products has spent the greater part of 20 years fabricating and manufacturing short-run systems and custom sheet metal designs. Located in Bradford, Ont., the shop was founded by Gerald Schlarb in 2003 and initially focused on producing components for HVAC units for product lines that were no longer being manufactured. For 10 years the shop outsourced its metal fabricated components, particularly its metal cabinet work. However, as lead times grew and its ability to meet customer needs were challenged, Gerald decided that this production model was no longer working for the shop. The shop has taken many steps to expand its capabilities and grow ...

Manufacturing Automation

“While automation was increasing before the pandemic, the past few months have illustrated the importance of automation to long-term success.” While 37 percent of manufacturers say the pandemic is a catalyst for increasing automation, the primary drivers for adding and expanding automation include the need for increased productivity and a shortage of skilled workers, according to a new survey from MC Machinery. More than 160 manufacturers participated in the online survey between Oct. 7 and Oct. 16. The respondents represented manufacturers, including job shops, automotive, food, mold & die, aerospace, medical, and energy. Nearly 85 percent work for or own manufacturing companies with under 200 employees. About 72 percent of survey respondents said they are using automation, with 45 percent ...
