Coolant Filtration For Automotive Engine Manufacturing
3/6/2012
The manufacturing of powertrain components including engines and transmissions uses liquid coolants in many of its machining operations to reduce generated heat and move manufacturing debris from the machined area.

Filtration Of Hydrotreater Feed Streams For Catalyst Process Protection
3/6/2012
Hydrotreating, catalytic hydro-desulfurization, is a refinery process that effectively reduces impurities such as sulfur in petroleum fractions that are obtained from the distillation of crude oil. The process also improves gas oil quality by reducing nitrogen, oxygen, metals and waxes, providing important protection for the catalysts in reformers, cat crackers, and hydrocrackers. To prevent fouling of expensive hydrotreater catalysts, filtration of the petroleum fractions, to reduce solid and semi-solid contaminants, is essential.

Variable, High-Speed Spindles Enhance Multi-Tasking Flexibility In CNC Machining
1/21/2009
When CNC automation replaced numerical control systems they effectively reduced the time required to changeover the machine to produce different components, and they provided CNC operators with the flexibility and time to perform additional tasks. Few would disagree that the introduction of CNC machines radically changed the manufacturing industry – curves became as easy to cut as straight lines, complex 3D structures became relatively easy to produce, and the number of machining steps that required human actions dramatically reduced.

Tool Path Dramatically Increasing Manufacturing Efficiency
12/26/2008
The goal in roughing is to cut with the highest possible material removal rate (MRR) while maintaining a good cut everywhere and having a long tool life. By Surfware

SolidWorks Associativity
12/26/2008
Powerful associativity enables users to open native SolidWorks files directly into SURFCAM, completely eliminating the translation process. SURFCAM automatically recognizes any design revisions in the solid model and regenerates only affected toolpaths. With this seamless interoperability, SURFCAM users can quickly adapt to myriad design changes.

TrueMill
12/26/2008
TrueMill is a significant milestone step in the long history of machining. TrueMill is the name for a patented set of discoveries centered on controlling tool engagement while machining a part of almost any type or material. By controlling the tool’s engagement with the material, TrueMill has repeatedly proven to greatly increase material removal rates (MRR), decrease cycle times and extend tool life.
