As we think about ways to reduce the number of interactions, we started thinking about automation. Specifically, our UNILOCK automation chucks to streamline the load and unloading process.
Workholding plays a critical role in the metalworking equipment equation. Chuck condition is becoming even more important in multi-axis machining where additional angles and motion can amplify problems.
Titanium, Inconel, stainless steel and other similar materials are becoming increasingly popular for their combination of temperature resistance and strength – but this also happens to make them among the most difficult metals to machine.
