We recently purchased our AMF vacuum clamping plate and now it is up and running we are loving the results. Why are we so impressed? Here's our thoughts on the benefits: ## Enhanced Stability; Using the vacuum table provides us with superior stability during milling operations because it evenly distributes holding force across the entire workpiece. The even clamping force reduces the risk of movement or vibration during machining, leading to higher precision and better surface finishes. In addition, it eliminates the need for us to use mechanical clamps that might obstruct the cutting tool's path meaning we can complete more complex and intricate designs without the risk of collision. ## Increased Productivity: The vacuum table simplifies the setup process as it allows workpieces to be positioned and secured quickly, reducing downtime between jobs. Also, multiple parts can be secured and machined simultaneously, making it possible to mill several identical components in one go. ## Machining Flexibility: As the table doesn't need physical clamps we have access to the entire surface of the workpiece, especially useful when we're machining large sheets or parts with complex geometries. ## Reduced Damage: Because the vacuum table holds the workpiece securely without excessive mechanical force it reduces the risk of damage, great for materials that are sensitive to pressure, meaning there are no marks or indentations left on the workpiece. ## Improved Accuracy: The even clamping force means that the workpiece is held in the same position, cycle after cycle. This gives us consistency across multiple parts when we're maintaining tight tolerances. ## Highly Versatile: The table can securely hold a wide variety of materials, making it a versatile tool for different projects. And, it's not limited to flat sheets, it can also hold irregular shapes or curved workpieces so we can use it on many different projects. ## Cost Effective: The table reduces the change of error and material waste meaning cost savings in both materials and time. Also, stable holding means minimal tool wear, extending the life of cutting tools and reducing the need for replacement. All in all, we are really happy with the addition of the vacuum table to our milling department and know that it will mean that we can provide an even better level of service and efficiency to our customers.

Laser cutting machines are commonly used in a variety of industries, such as manufacturing, engineering, and graphic design. They offer high precision, speed, and versatility compared to traditional cutting methods.But do you know how the laser cutting machine works? what the features and advantages of the machine? 👉 Laser cutting process uses invisible light beam to replace the traditional mechanical knife. It has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting, not limited to the limitation of cutting pattern, automatic typesetting, material saving, smooth incision and low processing cost. It will gradually improve or replace the traditional metal cutting process equipment. ✍ The mechanical part of the laser cutter head has no contact with the work-piece and will not scratch the work-piece surface during operation; The laser cutting speed is fast, the incision is smooth and flat, and there is generally no need for subsequent processing; The cutting heat affected zone is small, the plate deformation is small, and the cutting seam is narrow ; the notch has no mechanical stress and shear burr; the machining precision is high, the repeatability is good, and the material surface is not damaged; NC programming can process any plan, which can cut the whole plate with a large format without opening a mold, which is economical and time-saving. #lasercuttingmachine #fiberlasercutting #tubelasercutting #lasercutting

Our order packing videos might not be as "aesthetic" by some standards, but you can bet our customers will be just as excited to open them 😉 Wire bending is a sophisticated process that relies heavily on the use of cutting-edge CNC technology and machinery.  It begins with feeding the wire from the spool through straighteners to ensure it is perfectly straight before bending. The bending head, equipped with various tools, then precisely forms the wire to the specified angles and shapes through a series of complex and rapid movements- all predetermined and executed by the CNC system in our machine. Once complete, the wire is cut and the cycle begins again, offering efficient and precise production that's consistent every time. Watching the wirebending machine work its magic is a hypnotic experience- just see for yourself! 👀 #wirebending #cnc #manufacturing #metalfab

🚗 Have a great time exploring the fascinating details of the sheet metal bending process! It's amazing to see how skill and precision come together to create perfectly bent parts every single time. Improving the precision of sheet metal bending is really important for creating top-notch parts with tight tolerances. Here are some friendly tips to help you achieve better bending accuracy: 1. Optimize Bending Angles Accurate Angle Control: It’s a great idea to use machines that come with automatic angle control and digital readouts. They really help ensure those bending angles are spot-on! Keep an eye on the angle throughout the process, and let automated adjustments work their magic to maintain consistency. Compensate for Material Springback: When you're choosing the bend radius and tooling, don't forget to factor in material "springback." That’s just the way materials like to spring back a bit after bending. Using software simulations or bending calculators can be super helpful in figuring out the right compensation. 2. Use High-Precision Tools and Dies Quality Dies: Investing in high-quality bending dies with accurate tolerances is key to achieving consistent results. Custom dies can be tailored for specific applications, making them perfect for ensuring accuracy, especially for those tricky geometries. Sharp Tools: Keep your tools sharp! It really makes a difference and prevents deformation during the bending process. Dull or worn-out tools can throw off your bends and lead to poor surface finishes. 3. Proper Machine Calibration Regular Calibration: It’s vital to regularly calibrate your CNC bending machine. This helps keep everything running smoothly and ensures those bends are accurate. Don’t forget to calibrate the machine's axis, punch, and die tooling for precise alignment. Tool Alignment: Make sure your tools are properly aligned and securely fixed in place. This will stave off any movement during the bending process, which can help you avoid dimensional errors. #SheetMetalBending #PrecisionMachining #Metalworking #CNCProcessing #ManufacturingExcellence #BendingCraft #IndustrialDesign #TechInnovation #MetalFabrication

As we dive into a new week, we’re excited to share more about our cutting-edge projects and the innovative techniques we use to deliver top-notch results. Stay tuned for a week filled with insights, highlights, and a closer look at the precision and expertise that drive our success. The die we are featuring today includes some forming assisted by a cam installed in the tool. Forming in a stamping die is often achieved by a simple punch and die relationship, where you pair the geometry needed to form sheet metal into its desired shape using a punch and a forming die. However, when superior control, curling, folding over, or other complex geometries are required, toolmakers rely on cams. Cams provide a simple horizontal action to perform forming work and are often driven by a simple angled piece of tool steel fixed to the punch plate. This offers a fast and reliable way to achieve horizontal controlled forming. #ToolAndDie #Manufacturing #PrecisionEngineering #TellenarInc #SheetMetalStamping #QualityMatters #EngineeringExcellence
