Benchtop CNC

PANalytical introduced a new range of Epsilon 3 benchtop energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometers. Able to deliver accurate, precise, and reliable results across the periodic table, Epsilon 3 and Epsilon 3 XL versions match the analytical performance of larger, more powerful spectrometers, according to the company.

Light-element performance, full data traceability, and a variety of software options for standardless analysis, rapid identification fingerprinting, or regulatory compliance, characterize the range.

Epsilon 3 features a new high-performance ceramic tube that has been developed specifically for this system. In addition, the range utilizes the latest in silicon drift detector technology. Thin windows on both X-ray tube and detector enable light-element analysis down to fluorine. Sample preparation is straightforward and a variety of sample types can be measured including solids, pressed and loose powders, liquids, and filter samples weighing from a few grams to larger bulk samples.

CNC Machining Plastics Review

Machining plastics with manual or CNC controlled milling machines is effectively the same as machining ferrous or non-ferrous materials for the most part. However, though the technique and tools are similar, machining plastic is not the same as cutting metal. Moreover, cutting different plastic material can require different manufacturing cutting tools, cutting speeds and tool compensation to achieve desired surface roughness and tolerances. Engineering, design and manufacturing should investigate a particular plastics manufacturing characteristics before assigning tolerance or attempting to manufacture.

Most plastics and thermal plastics are physically affected by temperature and ambient humidity when machining. Skilled machinist and programmers can make a huge difference in getting one's part manufactured on time and dimensionally correct. Plastic materials can perform very differently when a machinist is removing material and may require experimentation by the machinist. Some plastics have a tendency to flow or stress relieve into different geoemtries long after the machining is completed . It is always a good ideal to retain the services of a machine shop that has experience machining the particular material you have specified. Additionally, it is also good practice to request design feedback from the desired machine shop regarding your mechanical tolerances, finishes and geometry stability following machining.

When issuing an RFQ (request for quote) be sure to include a request for alternative materials. Often manufacturing folks are well aware of alternative materials that other products or OEM's utilize. Keep in mind that the manufacturer will initially look at the over size of the part to estimate raw stock thickness and length requirements. Typically, metals are available by the pound, but plastics are sold by the sheet or round size. If your product overall length or width exceeds a smaller sized sheet or round, manufacturing will need to purchase the next larger size to manufacture your part. This could be a cost driver as the manufacturing organization will quote for the entire raw stock versus only the material that is actually used. Plastics materials whether raw or in a preformed shape can vary widely. Cost per square foot can vary from as low as $1 per square foot or $800 per square foot or more. Some exotic plastics material cost can almost be the exclusive cost driver on your part.

One machinability indicator of plastics, as well as the tolerance stability is available on the material specification or data sheets. The plastic's Durometer hardness value is a great way to estimate if your tolerances or finishes are achievable. The lower the reading the softer and more difficult a plastic is to machine and hold finish or tolerances because the material tends to be pushed by the cutting tool rather than cut free. Sometimes a manufacturer will freeze a plastic material to machine features with good surface roughness.

CNC 1440 Turning Center

CNC Masters 1440 CNC Lathe

The CNC Lathe that instantly converts back to all its original manual modes

Source : http//www.cncmaster.com

This CNC Lathe will instantly revert back to its manual capabilities eliminating the need to write a CNC program for short runs. Its advanced CNC capabilities can turn any complex turning application into a simple one that can be programmed and executed accurately many times over on production runs.

Improving production is critical to business growth and survival for companies limited on time and budgets. Having a turn-key solution that keeps the machining applications "in-house" instead of outsourcing and waiting for a turn-around time is critical for the growth of any company looking to get ahead of their competition while maintaining a high level of quality and keeping cost low. Most machinists love the idea of having the LOOK and FEEL of a manual lathe with CNC on it especially if it's turn-key, easy to learn, use, and most importantly they can begin turning their parts the same day the Lathe arrives at their shop. CNC Masters introduces its own brand of CNC lathe technology. The unique design of a conventional manual lathe with the power of automation technology through CNC allows any user to quickly machine their applications without advanced CNC training. Now the entrepeuner can turn his own prototypes in-house without having to give away his product idea to another shop. Now R & D lab scientists and engineers do not have to "wait" for their parts to complete their designs. Novices completely new to the lathe machine have the ability of manually learning the machine's ability while slowly easing into CNC mode of operation. Now the one-man machine shop overwhelmed with a thousand chamfering applications in his limited space can use the CNC MASTERS 1440 Lathe to create a small toolpath program to drive the X and Z axes many times over with the click of the pc mouse.

The CNC MASTERS 1440 CNC Lathe is a Gear Head mid-size turning center made for primary or secondary CNC machining applications. This 1440 lathe is intended for the user needing the ability and performance of a true CNC working lathe without taking up floor space like larger, expensive CNC machines which require highly skilled trained CNC machinists and service techinicians to tune and maintain the machine for you. The CNC MASTERS 1440 Lathe is a great purchase for manufacturing plants, machine shops, research institutions, colleges, universities, high schools, engineers who need to quickly prototype their parts, and one-man operations who need to turn hundreds of the same single part in their home garage-turned-shop. This 1440 CNC Lathe machine makes a great investment tool for business owners who would rather save money by turning/facing their own parts instead of outsourcing the order out. Because of its size, the CNC MASTERS 1440 Lathe can fit in areas where space is limited, yet can machine just about any application within 14” on the swing or 8" over the cross slide, and 34.50” on the carriage travel.
