Hurco VMCs run the gamut, from the VM CNC VMC compact footprint value model to VMX five-axis series machines, and for the largest aerospace parts the DCX series of double-column machining centers with 2- and 3-m X axes. Hurco’s VMCs are used to manufacture parts for the automotive, aerospace, medical equipment, energy, injection tool and mold, transportation and electronics industries.

The 16 lectures given at the symposium by internationally renowned experts from science and practice covered a broad range of topics. In addition to the opportunities and challenges in the cooperation of human and machine or the potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the manufacturing industry, there were also practical production topics, such as practical experiences with the innovative WireDress dressing technology from the United Grinding Group.

To present the key Turning Tools manufacturers, production, revenue, market share, and recent development.

Its website states, “the company’s digital approach to manufacturing enables accelerated time to market, reduces development and production costs, and minimizes risk throughout the product life cycle.”

Even the worst-looking weld still could be structurally sound, but not if that cylinder needed to go into a spinning machine. And even if the weld wasn’t ugly, it still could cause problems if it wasn’t just right. “Metal spinning is a highly aggressive process, with the [forming rollers] moving in and out,” Paulson said. “If there are any flaws in the weld, it creates a big problem. We would have very high reject rates.”

Ross has worked with his Mastercam Reseller, MCAM Northwest, since day one. Tim Rowley, founder of MCAM Northwest, and his team provide technical support for Ross’s two seats of Mastercam Mill 3D, one seat of Mastercam Multiaxis, and one seat of Mastercam Design. Rowley also keeps the software up to date and offers extra support for rollouts. He shared that the software perfectly complements the high-precision prototyping Ross does. “He’s looking for surface finishes that are way beyond what most shops that do prototyping are. He’s always pushing the boundaries,” Rowley said. Luckily his software works just as hard.

Often early in design exploration, a basic form factor model is machined out of high-density urethane foam or tooling board, which can be very fragile and difficult to work with. Every aspect of prototyping calls for extreme accuracy, and Ross has organized his own collection of resources to enable it.

Somewhere geographically between Zip Tone and Highlights, lays the Isle of Dots. These oversized fields of dots are reminis- cent of placing a bit of gnarly halftone screen into a mark because they actually represent an element of the icon and not just a foundation in the background. I picture Jay Fletcher selecting the dots on his bowl of poke because it looks like a liberal dose of sesame seeds sprinkled atop the dish. Note that the dots serve as an approximation of a woven basket or the blush of a peach, but the pattern is not used as just an opportunity to lay in tone.

Logo Lounge’s 2019 report reveals that zip tones, dots, wings and doors are all in vogue. Here Bill Gardner, Logo Lounge’s founder, discusses what it all means

LoneStar Leeds’ managing director Jon Collinge explains: “As the markets we operate in are extremely competitive, we are always seeking ways of ensuring that our machine tools are able to reach their full productive potential. In addition, given the potential economic and environmental cost of failure of any of the products we manufacture, the quality of our output is paramount.

Now, that was at really really, really cold temperatures. I mean, we’re talking negative 452 degrees Fahrenheit, just a few degrees above absolute zero, which you all might know is the temperature at which matter has no heat. So it’s hard to do this.
