  2. Fixture (tool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixture_(tool)

    A common type of fixture, used in materials tensile testing (Grip-Engineering). A fixture is a work-holding or support device used in the manufacturing industry. [1] [2] Fixtures are used to securely locate (position in a specific location or orientation) and support the work, ensuring that all parts produced using the fixture will maintain conformity and interchangeability.

  3. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

  4. Rotary table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_table

    10 inch, manual rotary table. A rotary table is a precision work positioning device used in metalworking. It enables the operator to drill or cut work at exact intervals around a fixed (usually horizontal or vertical) axis. Some rotary tables allow the use of index plates for indexing operations, and some can also be fitted with dividing plates ...

  5. LinuxCNC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxCNC

    LinuxCNC is a software system for numerical control of machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers, cutting machines, robots and hexapods.It can control up to 9 axes or joints of a CNC machine using G-code (RS-274NGC) as input.

  6. Direct numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_numerical_control

    Direct numerical control (DNC), also known as distributed numerical control (also DNC), is a common manufacturing term for networking CNC machine tools.On some CNC machine controllers, the available memory is too small to contain the machining program (for example machining complex surfaces), so in this case the program is stored in a separate computer and sent directly to the machine, one ...

  7. Tool and cutter grinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_and_cutter_grinder

    View of a typical setup on a T&C grinder. A Tool and Cutter Grinder is used to sharpen milling cutters and tool bits along with a host of other cutting tools.. It is an extremely versatile machine used to perform a variety of grinding operations: surface, cylindrical, or complex shapes.

  8. Computer-integrated manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-integrated...

    The idea of "digital manufacturing" became prominent in the early 1970s, with the release of Dr. Joseph Harrington's book, Computer Integrated Manufacturing. [5] However, it was not until 1984 when computer-integrated manufacturing began to be developed and promoted by machine tool manufacturers and the Computer and Automated Systems Association and Society of Manufacturing Engineers (CASA/SME).

  9. 2.5D (machining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5D_(machining)

    A 2.5D image is a simplified three-dimensional ((x, y, z) Cartesian coordinates system) surface representation that contains at most one depth (z) value for every point in the (x, y) plane. All features of the part will be visible from one view meaning that it can written with simple codes and accessible technology.
