CRP Launches Windform PS 2008-05-12 01:51:00 Vol 16, Issue 2 CRP has been recognised as a leader in the use of Rapid Casting for motor sport applications throughout the world. These efforts have now yielded a breakthrough in this arena — Windform PS.Windform PS is a new polystyrene-based material able to produce complex investment casting patterns. The sintered patterns are porous in order to allow wax infiltration, making them easy
Tapping into new Technology 2008-02-18 23:48:00 The maturing of CNC machine tools, growth in CNC synchronous tapping, high pressure coolant through spindles and modern tap holders, when combined with application-specific tap geometries and coatings have all contributed to advances in the production of internal screw threads. Thread milling technology is also contributing to a rethinking of the production of an internal screw thread. Making an Read more:Technology
Automation For Information 2008-02-18 23:47:00 “Making chips” is a common-enough expression for describing production metalworking, but chips are not the only byproduct of production. Another byproduct is information. In addition to making chips, you’re also making data. And today, it’s possible to put that data to use.Here are examples of the kinds of data that are out there. At any given moment, your machine tool is either cutting or Read more:Automation
Stone Working Technologies and Water Cutting Systems 2008-02-18 23:46:00 Computerised stone cutting technology has given the stone industry an ability to cut designs with accuracy in a short span of time. It has put the stone industry into a bright millennium to come. Over a period of time this system can be more economical than existing one. This system can tailor the stone to any design' to suit the taste of customers worldwide. Computer technology continue to advanc Read more:Cutting

Developing an integrated STEP-compliant CNC prototype 2008-02-18 23:42:00 STEP-compliant CNC is the next-generation CNC controller, taking the STEP-NC data model as the interface scheme between CAM and CNC and carrying out various intelligent functions. At the moment, efforts are being made worldwide to establish an international standard for the new interface scheme (so-called STEP-NC), formal-- ized as ISO 14649. In the near future, the new interface scheme will be co
