Did you know that CO2 lasers, the most common lasers used in laser cutting, are used to cut more than just stainless steel and titanium? In fact, CO2 lasers are used to cut everything from taskboard and plastic, to wax, wood, fabrics, and ceramics!
The Dedendum is either the depth of a tooth inside the pitch circle or the radial distance between the root circle and the pitch circle. The height of the spur gear tooth extending beyond the pitch circle is the Addendum.
One common type of laser, the CO2 laser, is most useful for boring, cutting, and engraving. Some common variants of this laser are fast axial flow, slow axial flow, transverse flow, and slab.
For industrial applications, there are three main types of laser machines. CO2 lasers are particularly useful for cutting, boring or engraving non-metal materials, while fiber and YAG lasers are used to process metals.
Before the invention of laser, the maser was used, which stood for microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. This cutting technology was based on Albert Einstein’s principle of stimulated emission masers which were used in atomic clocks.
Laser cutting can make targets of many different shapes and sizes. Round targets, square targets, and USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) targets can all be created with use of a laser cutter.
One of the three main types of lasers used in laser cutting is the CO2 laser, which is used in boring, cutting, and engraving. The neodymium (Nd) laser is used for high energy low repetition boring, while the neodymium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd-YAG) laser is used for high power boring and engraving.
It’s important to remember that there’s no reason why you have to continue working with tools and parts that make your job more difficult just because that’s what’s readily available. When your company needs something a little more custom, we’re always here for you.
In the 16th century, wooden screws were used to construct wood boxes, tables and chairs. The screws themselves were shaped by craftsman who used a lathe to first carve threads into slender wood poles and then slice screws to the required length.
Quality assurance is very important regardless of what industry you are in but very important when it comes to machining. Having high standards and adhering to them helps to provide the customers with a superior product.
While CNC machining is superior for production runs up to 1,000, multiple spindle automatic machines are preferred for runs over this number, especially those parts with features that are put on the part perpendicular to the exterior plane.
The high pressure oxygen or nitrogen used in a machine shop laser works with such accuracy and precision because the oxygen or nitrogen is under pressure. In fact, it is the highly pressurized oxygen and nitrogen component that is used to blow the molten metal out of the kerf!
Automobile companies are still a large buyer of laser cutters, but lasers are also used in the manufacture of solar panels and, of course, to engrave objects.
What metal has the highest melting point? Tungsten. The exceptionally high melting point of tungsten, which is 6,191 degree Fahrenheit, can be a pro and a con during the machining process. While it is a difficult metal to work with, it is not susceptible to heat produced during the machining process.
Custom-made CNC machine parts offer multiple benefits over classic machining techniques. The use of computer numerical controls ensures accurate production of a wide array of metal components.
Did you know that CNC turned components can be manufactured to exact tight tolerance levels? This results in an end product that is highly reliable and accurate, benefiting the manufacturer as well as the customer.

The earlier you bring us into the production design stage, the better our understanding of your needs will be. This translates into a faster turnaround and lower costs as it reduces fabrication errors because of miscommunication.
Laser technology can be used to cut, to engrave or to etch into surfaces. A machine that uses laser technology can create intricate, smooth pieces out of a durable material with a simple process.
One of our most useful tools today was also used by prehistoric men, albeit in a more simple manner. Archeologists believe that men from the era around 35,000 BC were the first to use a screw-like tool. Rather than a threaded screw like we are used to today, the homo sapiens spun a pointed rock with their hands.
Did you know? Inconel has many desirable qualities. It’s strong, durable, heat resistant and corrosion resistant. It takes and holds welds and is resistant to post-weld cracking. Equally important, with the right machinery, inconel can be fabricated into complex parts with comparative ease.
John Wilkinson is credited with inventing in 1775 the first real machine tool, a lathe designed to bore cannon barrels. He realized precision boring had a wide variety of applications, and soon adapted his machine to bore cylinders for the first commercial steam engine.
One of the most important parts of a machine shop laser is the capacitive height control system, which is solely responsible for maintaining the precise distance between the end of the laser nozzle and the plate being cut. The distance maintaining by the capacitive height control system is what determines focal point.
Did you know that when a shaft is misaligned, it can actually generate harmful forces across the point of power transmission, causing greater damage to the machine? We offer comprehensive shaft alignment and repair services to get your machine fully operational again.

We recognize that many of the tools businesses rely on aren’t always affordable enough to be able to replace the moment they stop performing to expectations. When you need repair options, we may be able to help you.
When the first screwdrivers were invented, they were originally only intended for slotted screws. But along with new advances in machinery and construction, so came new screws and screwdrivers. However, it was Henry F. Phillips’ design of a screw that would go on to dominate the industry.
Each facet of the manufacturing industry has different needs, and one-size-fits-all equipment is a bad investment. When we develop machines and equipment designed for your specific needs, you are assured of products that are highly efficient and tailored to the demands of your environment.
The laser cutting process is much more energy efficient than other cutting processes, consuming around one-fifth the power. This allows for increased production for the same energy costs.
Intersecting shafts are connected using bevel gears and they can be set at, below, or above ninety degrees. In addition, there are multiple tooth designs employed, depending on the application.
Lasers use precision cutting capabilities for a variety of materials, including foam. The upholstery industry utilizes laser cutting for internal and external foam contours, which must be cut to conform to precise specifications.
Drills are one of the few machine shop tools that can be traced to antiquity. In fact, early Egyptian and African monuments include carvings depicting workers using manual drill bows to drill holes into chairs and other furniture.
One of the factors that adds to a laser cutter's precision is that the laser never wears out. Unlike mechanical cutting tools where blades eventually become dull, a laser will continue to be just as effective even if used for extended periods.
We recommend our three-axis CNC machining for custom designed parts that meet our customers' exacting specifications. With this machining process, we can provide standard milling, drilling, and tapping of almost every material, including laser-cut materials.
