The MS40P has six fluid-cooled, variable hollow-shaft motors that drive bar stock up to 40 mm, independent of each other. The machine concept is based on the added “A” side (drum side) and an opposite ...

Dr. Ralf Dupont, President of Levicron, has been involved in the development of non-contact bearing systems, for over a decade. AZoM Spoke to Ralf about Levicron's aerostatic tool spindles which can ...

While cheap hobby CNC mills and routers are great machines that allow you to build things a 3D printer just can’t handle, they do have their limitations. They’re usually powered by a Dremel or other ...

For the benefit of our readers, what is the principle of Aerostatic bearings, and how do they compare to roller-element or oil hydrostatic bearings? There are two types of aerostatic bearings, inlet ...

OMAG’s Blade5 machining center for stone is based on an application-specific 5-axis CNC system from NUM, and driven by an powerful, liquid-cooled spindle motor also developed by NUM. The new five-axis ...

Modern machine tools continue to make technical advances, thanks in large part to ongoing improvements and fine-tuning in computer numerical control (CNC) machining. Over the past 60 years or so, CNC ...

The old saying “you get what you pay for” is a cautionary cliché, but is directly contrary to several other common sayings. In the case of [Spikee]’s planned CNC machine build, he took the more ...

CNC machining, AKA Computer Numerical Control machining, is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, enabling the precise and automated production of complex parts. Used in industries ranging from ...
