Removing support structure from AM parts with water? Yes, it's possible. Stop by to see examples in person during RAPID + TCT next week. Removing material is often done manually and requires a surface finishing process. But Cavitation Abrasive Surface Finishing (CASF) technology can remove support structure AND provide surface smoothing in one application. We will have parts and info over in booth 822, come check it out. #additivemanufacturing #rapidtct2024 #3dprinting #additivemfg #medical #automotive #automotivemanufacturing #aviation #aerospace

A fifth of a human hair – 10 micrometers. That's the tolerance applied in the manufacturing of connecting rods for our mtu Series 4000 engines. Produced in our factory in Friedrichshafen, over 100 years of experience contribute to this immense precision work. Interestingly, connecting rods are one of the most crucial components of our engines: they convert the linear oscillation of the pistons into the circular rotary motion of the crankshafts. Depending on the engine, they can be between 28 and 110 centimeters long, and due to their function, they undergo enormous pressure stresses. Customized components of our engines, designed to combine the best performance with the highest reliability. Want to learn more?

November 15th “Fun Tool Friday”. Do you want to speed up your profiling on a 4 or 5 Axis machine how about rough and finish a countour with a Lens Cutter. An Aerospace customer saved over 50% in cycle time by using this “Lens Cutter” with a 1.5” radius. At Missouri Tool we believe saving time is saving money$$$$. Let us save your shop money. #cuttingtools #cncmachining #lenscutter

Though Swiss lathes can accommodate precision threading operations, the common name comes from the machine’s origin with Swiss watchmakers, who originally developed the technology to produce small watch screws and miniature components in the 1870s. In today’s CNC machining industry, Swiss turning is used for manufacturing a much wider range of custom components – from precision aerospace parts and defense industry products to specialized components for the energy sector. Nevertheless, it’s interesting to look back at the origins of the cutting-edge equipment that we use in the modern machine shop.
