To help moldmakers achieve the highest levels of milling and deep-hole drilling productivity, UNISIG introduced two models to its USC-M series, the USC-2M and USC-3M. Both these machines handle both ...

Whether on Swiss and other turn/mill centers, drilling and tapping machines, or with milling attachments, shops are doing more milling with small spindles than ever before. That’s partly due to the ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

Can small shops succeed with advanced machine tools and software? If so, how do they do it? Read on to learn the strategies that have helped Midway Swiss Turn, our 2025 Top Shops Honoree in Shopfloor ...

We sometimes wonder if designers ever actually use their own products, or even put them through some sort of human-factors testing before putting them on the market. Consider the mechanism that ...

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 ...

Ralf Dupont, President at Levicron GmbH, talks to AZoM about how Levicron's air bearing spindles are bridging the gap between conventional machining and ultra-precision machining. Could you provide ...

Spindles are machinery subsystems that integrate shafts, bearings, and power-transmission components such as belts and ballscrews, motors, and in some cases, drives and controls to output axial ...
