As a manager, or as a supervisor, we are often driven by the “tyranny of the urgent.” That phone call that just came in, that rush order that “just has to get out,” or a host of other compelling things that insist “Get it done — now!” But is our obedience to the urgent even worth it?

We examine this question in our recent article from the Precision Machined Products Association - PMPA: https://bit.ly/4aoFTnY

Bar feeders are the most common automation accessory for high-volume turning, delivering bar stock to lathes, multispindles, rotary transfer machines, and even CNC mills. Their primary benefit is reducing operator intervention, enabling lights-out or unattended machining.

These simple “one-axis devices” come in various types, differing in bar length capacity (short or long loaders) and bar storage (single-barrel or magazine loaders). However, selecting the right bar feeder requires careful consideration.

Here are four key questions to guide your choice: https://bit.ly/3Pm2vfm

Micrometal, based in Müllheim, Germany, is one company that offers photo-chemical etching (PCE), a process that applies a light-sensitive resist to a metal sheet. UV light exposes the design via a photomask, and etching chemicals remove unwanted material with precision. Unlike machining, stamping, or laser cutting, PCE avoids mechanical stress and heat distortion, preserving the metal's integrity.

CEO at BBInfinite talks about the benefits of using Verisurf software to program the company’s Renishaw Equator.

Very small medical workpieces that contain thin walls and require short pick-off lands are often run on Fifer’s five Swiss-type lathes. When he tried to apply traditional extended-nose collets originally, the extensions were too long and the gaps in the collet were too big to effectively produce his customer’s parts. When he discovered Masa Tool’s collet system, it met all of his needs, and then some.
