CNC machining has long been at the forefront of precision manufacturing, harnessing computerised control systems to execute complex geometries through numerically guided cutting tools. The ...

The researchers in Keio University developed a novel tool path generation method for driving an independently controlled fast tool servo (FTS) for freeform surface machining. Without necessity of ...

Five-axis machining represents a critical advance in modern manufacturing, allowing the simultaneous control of five independent axes to achieve complex geometries and enhanced surface finishes.

Much has been made of high efficiency milling in recent years, and for good reason. Roughing cycle times can often be reduced by as much as 80% by using solid end mills, small stepovers, faster feed ...
