About Machine Tools

If you’ve been involved in machining, you’ve probably experienced “chatter” on the machined surface at least once. Chatter tends to occur more easily, especially in I.D (internal diameter) turning, where tools are extended longer. This time, we will introduce six points to review when chatter occurs during machining.

Machine tool automation helps manufacturers increase productivity, reduce reliance on skilled labor, and stabilize machining quality. This article explains why automation is gaining attention and outlines the key benefits it brings to modern production environments.

What is a lathe? Explain the machine configuration from the processing target!

CNC programming sounds difficult like a killer phrase for non-skilled operators because of many codes and enigmatic rules. However, once you understand the rules, it is not so hard to understand.

A multitasking machine is a machine designed to perform several types of machining with a single machine, instead of using several types of machine tools.

Cutting oil and coolant oil are used in machining. What is the advantage in using a cutting oil? Is it so important?
Let’s take a look at the reasons why the cutting oil are important, how to choose one, and what type is recommended for a numerically controlled lathe.

Turning is defined as the action of turning a workpiece set on a spindle and cutting the surface by a tool as if peeling an apple. As you may know, while a machine is turning, it brings many of long chips continually and the chips get entangled to the workpiece or tools before long. This could be a major trigger to disrupt the automation, but if you assimilate Nakamura-Tome’s oscillation cutting, you can solve this problem.

When you think of a machine tool, what comes first in your mind? There are specialized machines, machinig centers, turning centeters, and more. Each machine have characteristics and specialities and which one is good for your work?

Unlike the normal cutting operation using one point of an insert chip, the skiving operation uses the overall width of the chip itself. The adjustable Y-axis enables the locomotion of the contact point and it avoids the heat overconcentration on a single point of the chip. As a result, cutting speed can be increased and chip life can be extended.

Watch our test cut videos of the deep hole drilling works with several carbide drills. Not only it’s faster than works with conventional high-speed drills, but also, with our machine, it can complete the work at one chucking.
