Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

You can buy gears off the shelf, of course, and get accurately machined parts exactly to your chosen specification. However, there’s something rugged and individualist about producing your own ...

The patent-pending uP-Gear process — co-developed by Heller Machine Tools and Voith Turbo — is aimed at manufacturers of vehicles, machines, or machine components, that machine large gears in low ...

Gears fill the cases of automotive transmissions and are widely used in aerospace applications, but these simple tools are deceptively complex to manufacture. We thought it would be good to take a ...

Makers, engineers and hobbyists who would like to automatically manufacture a variety of different size plastic gears you might be interested in a unique machine built using a little Arduino hardware, ...

Cat's PM-465 has simplified grade and slope control system that provides three operating menus. On-board electronics also regulate speed, steering and rotor drive, plus self-diagnostics. Milling ...

A milling machine with over 15,000 hours is still grinding pavements across the fruited plain, and the men who manage it are determined to keep it going. Now, instead of it becoming a museum piece – ...

Quick, what’s 360 divided by 23? It’s easy enough to get the answer, of course, but if you need to machine a feature every 15.652 degrees around a shaft, how exactly would you accomplish that? There ...

The market for milling machines is on the upswing, not because of hope for a magical federal infrastructure package, but because of local efforts to shore up aging pavements. A relatively small amount ...

Milling machines, also known as cold planers, complete the same task today as they did 30 years ago, but they have seen several innovations over the years and are continuing to evolve. It was actually ...
