Sphinx, known for its specialization in the precision drilling niche, as well as its fine craftsmanship and know-how, has formed a longstanding partnership and trust with one of the world’s most innovative manufacturers, Aeschilimann AG Décolletages.
Reporting on Sphinx product manager, Cory Cetkovic’s presentation at our annual Breakfast & Learn event earlier this year, Production Machining recently published a column called “Tools and Technologies for Deep Hole Drilling.”
Precisely ground micro drills, especially those that are made of tough, nano-grade carbide and are small enough to drill accurately through a single hair follicle, aren’t exactly a dime a dozen.
It’s hard to visualize .03mm; it’s smaller than a hair on your head. It’s even more difficult to fathom drills that size with smooth flutes and well-planned geometries.
Did you catch the May issue of Shop Metalworking Technology? The magazine profiled one of our customers, BC Instruments, Schomberg, ON, that recently dealt with an urgent prototyping adjustment.
Understanding and controlling runout is crucial for any machine shop looking to maintain competitive advantages in today's precision-driven manufacturing environment.
If precision in manufacturing is a matter of optimizing a process to get the best possible results, then we can only truly be precise when we have ample choice in tools.
Machining vibration disrupts efficiency, reduces tool life and damages part finishes. Solving it isn’t easy as causes are varied and interconnected. Discover strategies to tackle vibration for better results.
Considering we deal in some of the smallest parts and pieces in the machining world, we fully understand that your results will be only as strong as your weakest link.
Runout is one of the sneakier issues machinists and tool managers must deal with. It’s almost impossible to recognize in-process and difficult to diagnose after the fact. We identify potential sources.
Even in the cleanest, you-can-eat-off-the-floor machine shops, the reality is that at all times, chips are flying, smoke is forming and coolant is spraying.
