Meaning of OEM
OEM, an acronym for Original Equipment Manufacturer, refers to companies that design and produce components or products that are then sold and used by another company. In this context, the manufacturer creating the original product is referred to as the OEM. These components or products are often integrated into the end product of the second […]
Custom CNC Machining Parts From Manufacturers
When one needs some parts to be custom CNC machined and produced by manufacturers, several factors need consideration. Define Specifications: State the cut material, tolerances and quantity needed for CNC machining parts. Research Manufacturers: Search and find a high-quality CNC machining manufacturer with a record of accuracy and dependability. Communication: It is also crucial that […]
Charpy Impact Testing: The Step-by-Step Process
Prepare Samples: The samples must be prepared with dimensions according to the relevant standard. There are multiple standards used. However, in general, the sample size is 55 x 10 x 10 mm with a V-notch machined in the middle of the sample. The exact shape of the notch is also indicated in the relevant standard. The […]
The Charpy Impact Test Formula
Most Charpy impact testing machines are graduated to directly indicate the energies involved. As such, equations are generally not needed. However, the formula used to determine the impact energy – if you need it someday – is as follows: KV = mgH1 – mgH2 – Ef Where: KV– Impact energy m – Pendulum mass g– Gravitational […]
Working Principle of CNC Machining
CNC machining is a manufacturing process that is typically categorized as a subtractive process or a process that’s primary goal is to remove material from a workpiece to achieve the desired form and measurement. There are many different categories of CNC machining but the most common are laser cutting, CNC turning and milling, CNC grinding, […]
Pros and Cons of CNC Machining
Speaking of advantages, let us give you a brief list of the common advantages and pros of CNC machining. Continuity Usually, CNC machines are designed and engineered to run more than 18 hours per day. The longer they run, the better. The only time you have to shut them off would be during maintenance. Consistency […]
Materials Used in CNC Machining
CNC machining involves the use of various materials to manufacture high precision components. Usual metals include aluminium, stainless steel and alloys as well as plastics like ABS or polycarbonate. Further wood, composites including carbon fiber among others, ceramics foam rubber and specialist materials such as glass stone are used. The selection of an appropriate material […]
Types of CNC Machining Technology
Several types of CNC machining technologies exist. Here are some common ones: Milling: Includes cutting material out of a workpiece with rotating knives. Turning: Turns the workpiece as a cutting tool forms it. Drilling: It uses a rotating drill bit to make holes in the workpiece. Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM): Cuts through the material with […]
What Is the Charpy Impact Test?
The Charpy impact test, sometimes called a V-notch test, is a comparative-style test used to define a material’s impact strength by determining how much energy is required to fracture a pre-prepared and standardized sample with a V-notch machined into it. A pendulum is released to strike the specimen. The height of the pendulum before and […]
Importance of CNC Machining
Besides the fact that CNC is high-tech and advanced, there are a ton of important benefits and factors that make it extraordinary. One of the best factors would be the accuracy and precision of the products manufactured. Since it’s run by software, errors are minimal, and a lot of times, there’s no need for further […]
