FABTECH Expo in Orlando starts October 15. Our #oilhero's Christopher Fletcher & Steven Lowery will present "Achieving World-Class Toolromom Performance Using Metalworking Fluids". Toolroom operations are critical to the production environment. From building and maintaining tooling to troubleshooting production issues, metalworking fluids are critical to achieving operational success. Their presentation will review the various manufacturing disciplines and how proper metalworking fluids selection, management, and cost-effectiveness can help achieve top performance. Learn how to minimize your environmental impact by extending fluid life, while keeping performance at peak levels. Machining Coolants – Grinding Fluids – Dielectric Fluids for Wire and Sinker EDMs – Proper Tooling Storage Cost-saving techniques will be evaluated, and real-world examples will be covered. Learn how to lower your toolroom’s overall costs using chemistry as a conduit for profitability. #innovativefluidtechnology #toolroom #dierepair #toolmaker https://lnkd.in/gMgh4_P5

The Art of Precision: Reducing Part Handling with Multi-Axis Machining Each part is like a relationship—becoming more familiar with it reveals the best way to handle it. As you grow more intimate with the part, it begins to share its secrets, guiding you through the most efficient and precise way to machine it. The process becomes almost artistic, where you dance delicately through each stage to keep everything in balance. Multi-axis machining enhances this flow by minimizing setups and handling, helping to maintain precision and reduce the chance for errors. This not only streamlines production but also leads to cost savings for the end customer by reducing material waste and improving efficiency. The result is a smarter, more efficient process that consistently delivers high-quality, complex parts—while keeping production costs in check.

From raw material to a flawless component – see how precise machining makes all the difference - one half unmachined, the other half perfect! The transformation might only take seconds for you, but it encompasses a wealth of precision and expertise we have invested in our tool development so that your processes operate seamlessly! #PrecisionMachining #MachiningSolutions #MetalCutting

We all know that staying competitive means cutting costs. How can CoroCut® 2 help you to remain the front runner within the industry? 1. Two-edged inserts: Optimized concepts with one cutting edge is a good choice for specific parting and grooving tasks. However, when the application allows, great savings can be made with two-edged alternatives that CoroCut® 2 offers. 2. Additional tool life: designed for truly cost-efficient machining, you can always be sure that CoroCut® 2 delivers the additional tool life you need.

5-Axis Machining 101 Don’t overlook its complexity and then start your project. Instead, understand its benefits. Then once you grasp its advantages, start your project. This is always a better path forward. Read our blog for more insights: https://lnkd.in/eN33B8Ga

Choosing the right tool for the job is essential for achieving high-quality results. Always ensure that you’re using the appropriate tool for the specific material and machining operation at hand. This not only enhances precision but also prolongs tool life and improves efficiency. Remember, the right tool can make all the difference! 🔧 #ManufacturingTips #ToolSelection #PrecisionMachining

Are you ready to master your cutting tool processes? Have your cutting tools become a large bottleneck? This is the case for many high-mix machine shops that have a machine spindle utilization of over 90%. With a high production mix also comes a shorter tool life. We want to help you tackle the tool bottlenecks with our 4-step approach: ➡️ Enable predictive tool setups ➡️ Eliminate tool loading errors ➡️ Automate your tools and share them between your machining centers ➡️ Automate your tool setups The more steps you take, the better your spindle utilization and quality become! Read more about how you can master your cutting tool processes on our website OR visit us at AMB ( Hall 10, booth A43) or IMTS (Level 3, booth 338966) 👉 https://hubs.la/Q02D-MKP0 #Fastems #8760productivity #Cuttingtools #tooling #management #machining #utilization

When considering an automation solution, some of the key goals would be to improve lead times, be more price competitive, improve machine efficiencies through better OEE, improve product quality, be more sustainable, and without any shadow of doubt, be more profitable as a business. Have you ever thought about how cutting tool management is a key factor in achieving these goals? Moving parts or pallets in and out of machine tools is bread and butter to Fastems. The clever bit though, is ensuring your machines run continuously through the use of scheduling software and cutting tool management. The use of a central tool storage reduces the need for sister tooling and takes away the worry of how many tools your magazine can hold. This results in higher machine utilization, consistent quality and minimal if not zero spindle breakages.
