Robots Swing Into Production Read how one manufacturer added robots and eliminated tedious manual and unsafe processes while reducing operation costs. The integration was seamless, and as a bonus, the robots slashed waste, work in progress and cycle times. Small Shop Automation If you run a small shop with low volumes and a lot of different parts, find out how material-handling automation can deliver significant payoffs in boosting productivity, improving part quality and reducing process times. And this type of automation doesn't always involve robots. Made For America U.S. shops using Swiss-style turning machines now have available to them a machine built with their needs in mind. As requested by U.S. shops, the machine sports a bigger work area, more live tooling and a special modular tooling system. The Case For Multi-Tasking Why do shops opt for multi-tasking machine tools? What You'll See At IMTS 2008 Many machine tool builders unveiled brand new machine innovations at EMO 2007 in Hanover, Germany. These same models will be presented for the first time to U.S. shops at IMTS 2008.

Increase Productivity by Hard Milling Stainless Steels For years, machining stainless steel has been a time consuming and costly enterprise. The desirable combination of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of stainless steel is challenging to productively and economically machine. Many applications today also require that the stainless steel be hardened, which can make machining these materials with indexable carbide inserts an even more difficult enterprise.
