DATE AND TIME OF WEBINAR Thursday, June 19, 2014 2:00 PM EST, 11:00 AM PST EVENT DESCRIPTION REGISTER TODAY! Sign up for Modern Machine Shop Webinars. You will get one-on-one product information, process insight and direct contact with suppliers offering the most current machining technology. Knowing where the "good" speeds are and knowing the permissible depths of cut can allow operators to double or triple metal removal rate without any modifcation of the existing tools, toolholders or the machine. However, nearly every part of the machine structure plays a role. It is the performance of the assembled machining system that counts, not any one piece. There is no general chatter-free tool, no best number of teeth and no best kind of toolholder. There is also no general best machine, spindle interface or spindle speed. Rather, all of the machining system's elements contribute to the stability of the process. While suppliers of machines, tools and toolholders try to optimize their specifc products, it is not until the pieces come together at the process that the performance is determined. Some tools and holders match one machine or process better than another. Sometimes, large stable zones correspond to the programmed spindle speeds, but far more often this is not the case. Vibration phenomena are not random, but rather they can be quantitatively measured and described. With the aid of advanced technology, it is now possible to scientifcally quantify the vibration characteristics of a milling process, predict chatter, and make recommendations to eliminate it. Without this, machine tool users are guessing, and guessing represents a huge productivity loss. Trial-and-error programming, selection of unproductive cuts, scrap and damage to the machine are the hidden costs of insuffcient information. Competitive shops need stability data for all their tools in all their machines. WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Shop Management, CNC programmers, Application Engineers, Tool Crib and Set-Up Personnel Machining Dynamics, Using Science to Optimize High Performance Milling in Your Shop It's free. It's remote. It's informative. It's convenient. Sign up today.
