  65. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Larry-Robbins-CEO-Appointment_SMW-Autoblok-scaled.jpeg" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-134852 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Larry-Robbins-CEO-Appointment_SMW-Autoblok-700x671.jpeg" alt="" /></a></p>
  66. <p>Robbins started at the company in May of 2007 and was promoted to Eastern Regional Sales Manager less than a year later. As of 2019 Robbins has occupied the position of President of Autoblok’s commercial division, where he is responsible for all strategic sales and marketing initiatives as well as overseeing the company’s North America sales team. He also oversees various projects internationally. His new position as President and CEO of SMW Autoblok US was a long-anticipated appointment. Robbins has over 35 years of experience in machine tool manufacturing.</p>
  67. <p>As background, Larry Robbins’ father ran a machine tool distributorship when Robbins was young. Robbins quickly became hooked into the business after working for his dad for a short period of time. He then accepted a sales position with a modular workholding company. When that business was sold, he started his own manufacturer’s rep business (for SMW Autoblok among others), where he also created customized tooling for a wide variety of machine tool applications.</p>
  68. <p>By 2007, Robbins found his home with SMW Autoblok as a full-time employee and began to prove his broad capabilities and understanding of the machine tool industry. Even in his free time, Robbins talks about workholding equipment with friends he met through work, often stating that “his career is his passion.”</p>
  69. <p>With Robbins’ leadership, SMW Autoblok will continue to lead in the evolution of the machine tool/metalworking industry, supporting all the latest developments in automation and the increased incorporation of Industry 4.0. Staying ahead of the competition is what maintains SMW Autoblok as one of the foremost companies in the workholding, clamping, gripping systems, and tooling solutions business.</p>

  94. <p>On June 5, 2024, various companies and individuals who have made significant contributions to the digital manufacturing transformation in America will be recognized and winners named throughout 9 categories.  Among the finalists for the prestigious Engineering and Production Technology award is the ANCA Integrated Manufacturing System (AIMS), a recently developed, fully automated grinding, gauging and materials handling system with workflow monitoring, full tracking and data management capability.  It allows shops and production departments to achieve a lights-out manufacturing ecosystem in coordination with company control protocols.  ANCA is an acknowledged global leader in this technology.</p>
  95. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  96. <p>The ANCA Integrated Manufacturing System (AIMS) offers an open ecosystem that aims to <em>connect</em>, <em>automate</em> and <em>create</em> all steps in the production of cutting tools for a broad spectrum of industrial applications, including automotive, medical, aerospace, electronics and woodworking.</p>
  97. <p>Manufacturing processes controlled by AIMS achieve higher machine utilization while maintaining consistently high tool quality. Thanks to sophisticated tool measurement and compensation strategies, scrap is reduced and costs per tool are significantly lowered. Comprehensive reporting and intelligent insights supported by machine learning provide complete visibility into all aspects of operations.</p>
  98. <p>AIMS is designed as an open system and allows the integration of third-party machines and workstations, plus AGV’s for material transport.</p>
  99. <p><strong>AIMS Connect</strong><br />
  100. Connects all operations that are carried out to manufacture cutting tools. The central AIMS server controls compliance with the processes that a tool passes through during its manufacture. It checks whether the various process steps are being carried out and takes action if the process is not being executed to preset standards. An information system guides employees to carry out manual process steps.</p>
  101. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Increased-productivity-with-AIMS-1.jpg" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" width="700" height="482" class="size-large wp-image-134834 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Increased-productivity-with-AIMS-1-700x482.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Increased-productivity-with-AIMS-1-700x482.jpg 700w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Increased-productivity-with-AIMS-1-250x172.jpg 250w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Increased-productivity-with-AIMS-1-768x528.jpg 768w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Increased-productivity-with-AIMS-1-1536x1057.jpg 1536w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Increased-productivity-with-AIMS-1-120x83.jpg 120w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Increased-productivity-with-AIMS-1.jpg 1943w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
  102. <p><strong>AIMS Automate</strong><br />
  103. Automation of connected operations through the use of robots such as AMR for transfer or cobots for palletizing tools. A self-optimizing job scheduler ensures an ideal supply of pallets to the machines or provides individual tools for measurement.</p>
  104. <p><strong>AIMS Create</strong><br />
  105. Create individual and customized workflow for the tool, based on linked operations. Workflows and processes can be described and stored with ISA-95 compliant recipes. Job orders are transferred to production via the link to recipes and the creation of work requests. Work cells, work units and assets are managed just as easily as grinding programs and grinding wheels. AIMS Create provides the cockpit for creating processes.

  133. <p>On April 17, Transform Magazine hosted their yearly event Transform Awards Europe in London, which awards excellence in rebranding and brand strategy with a focus on transformative creativity, strategy and implementation.</p>
  134. <p>Seco won the prestigious Gold award in the category: Best Visual Identity from the engineering and manufacturing sector, which was accepted on stage by Per-Lennart Berg, Vice President Brand &amp; Communication at Seco; Bettina Palmen, Brand Manager &amp; Project Lead; and their partner agency, Interbrand. Seco also celebrated winning two bronze awards in the categories Best Expression of a Brand on Social Media Channels and Best Brand Evolution.</p>
  135. <p>“I am so proud to share the news that Seco is now an award-winning brand, recognized at the reputable Transform Awards. This is an amazing achievement that the business and project team should be very proud of. We’re taking huge steps as a business so it’s very exciting to be able to celebrate one of them – our new visual identity and strategy,” says Per-Lennart Berg.</p>
  136. <p>“Internally the brand has been received with welcome arms, partly because we ensured the new brand reflected our values and culture: bright, positive, and absolutely ready for the future. We’re excited to be among other well-renowned brands this evening, and celebrate everyone’s hard work and success,” says Bettina Palmen.</p>

  162. <p>In this video, Marc from <a href="https://gcodetutor.com" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external">@GCodeTutor </a> shows us how to write a sequence of G-Code to both drill and rough bore using a U-Drill. Marc starts off by writing the G-Code that sets our machine in a safe working state before moving on to the drilling section. When drilling with a U-drill, we write the G-code as we would for a standard point-to-point drilling operation without using cycles. Once the hole has been drilled, we can then offset the U-drill to use it as we would a boring bar. Marc talks about the calculations we need to do to work out the offset amount to produce a bore with a finishing allowance for a later finish bore operation. To complete this sequence, we then finish writing the rest of the G-code to return our tool to a safe place, ready for the next tool change. To learn more about programming with G-Code, head over to https://gcodetutor.com, where Marc has a range of free articles and paid courses to teach you how to program these fantastic machines.</p>

It is the simple concept that the closer a forging is in size to the finished part that will be machined from it, the shorter machining time and less material waste that results.</p>
  336. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/additive-versus-subtractive-manufacturing.jpg" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" width="700" height="344" class="size-large wp-image-133407 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/additive-versus-subtractive-manufacturing-700x344.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/additive-versus-subtractive-manufacturing-700x344.jpg 700w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/additive-versus-subtractive-manufacturing-250x123.jpg 250w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/additive-versus-subtractive-manufacturing-768x377.jpg 768w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/additive-versus-subtractive-manufacturing-120x59.jpg 120w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/additive-versus-subtractive-manufacturing.jpg 831w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
  337. <p>In the aerospace industry the ratio difference between the starting material and the finished part is referred to as the buy-to-fly ratio. For some manufacturers that ratio can exceed 10 to 1, investing over 80% of the machining time in excessive material removal/roughing operations.</p>
  338. <p>The goal for forgings, however, have been to provide enough quality material in the forging (casting) to produce the part, forging yards or casting foundries have not been provided with a good business case to reducing the buy-to-fly ratios.</p>
  339. <p>In recent years, there has been a palpitating tension; an unspoken excitement amongst machinists, as the additive manufacturing industry makes its turn towards true Near-Net-Shape parts. Additive manufacturing is emerging as a viable production scale manufacturing method for production ready parts.</p>
  340. <p>This is a significant leap from its humble origins in plastic prototyping scaled models, visual aids, and toy parts. Combined with more advanced additive processes like welding, wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), binder jetting technology, carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP), friction stir welding, and robotics; additive manufacturing is making its mark as the mode of future operations.</p>
  341. <p>Creating additive parts with industry relevant metals such as steel, aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel (and many others) is now a mainstream deliverable by the additive industry. Combining these additively manufactured parts with the appropriate post-processing treatments can yield material strength and integrity on par with any traditional raw material manufacturing technology.</p>
  342. <p>Additive manufacturing still has challenges to overcome though.</p>
  343. <p>Delivering high volume of parts at the pace of forgings, meeting finish tolerances, and surface finish, and automating post-production processes all continue to be opportunities for improvement. Nevertheless, the last decade has seen tremendous improvements in this arena of manufacturing, and more are on the horizon. The big observation is that additive manufacturing can create metal parts, with material integrity, and deliver true Near-Net-Shape often with buy-to-fly ratios of 3:1 and even 2:1.</p>
  344. <p>But this in no way suggests that machining applications are on the way out.</p>
  345. <p>Additive and subtractive manufacturing processes need not be looked upon in separate competitive silos. In fact, machining will be a vital, complementary part of the future state of additive manufacturing. Machining is on the verge of a significant technological revolution to accommodate the demand for this change.</p>
  346. <p>As additively manufactured Near-Net-Shape parts become a viable starting point for machining operations, the need for heavy roughing will take a back seat to advancements in semi-finishing and finishing operations.</p>
  347. <p>Imagine a future state where roughing operations are obsolete. Machine builders will be challenged to deliver machine tools with significantly faster spindle speeds and axis drives for heightened feed rates, without sacrificing accuracy.</p>
  348. <p>This, in turn, drives the need for enhanced controller capability. The combination of lightened cutter engagement conditions and heightened speeds will place a higher emphasis on spindle power rather than torque. Cutting tool manufacturers will need cutting materials able to survive machining at heightened speeds and feeds.</p>
  349. <p>Ultimately these changes must be coupled with the best practices in machining (such as proper presetting, coolant delivery, balancing, etc.), calling for an increased focus on advanced training. These challenges are by no means easy.</p>

  377. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pitch-Diameter-1.png" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" width="700" height="700" class="size-large wp-image-133377 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pitch-Diameter-1-700x700.png" alt="" srcset="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pitch-Diameter-1-700x700.png 700w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pitch-Diameter-1-250x250.png 250w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pitch-Diameter-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pitch-Diameter-1-768x768.png 768w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pitch-Diameter-1-120x120.png 120w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Pitch-Diameter-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
  378. <p>The pitch diameter (also referred to as the effective diameter) is the diameter of an imaginary cylinder, which intersects it so that the distance between two intersection points at opposite flanks of a thread flanks equals half the nominal pitch of the thread (This definition is valid only for n parallel threads).</p>
  379. <p>The allowance (see below) between the pitch diameters of the female and male parts of a threading assembly determines whether they can be successfully mated together.</p>
  380. <h2><strong>Major Diameter</strong></h2>
  381. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Major-Diameter-1.png" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" width="700" height="700" class="size-large wp-image-133379 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Major-Diameter-1-700x700.png" alt="" srcset="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Major-Diameter-1-700x700.png 700w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Major-Diameter-1-250x250.png 250w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Major-Diameter-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Major-Diameter-1-768x768.png 768w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Major-Diameter-1-120x120.png 120w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Major-Diameter-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
  382. <p>The major diameter of a thread is the diameter of an imaginary cylinder that touches the largest diameter of a thread. The nominal value of the major diameter equals the nominal thread size. For example, in a UNC 1/4-20 thread, the nominal major diameter is 1/4″ (6.35 mm)</p>
  383. <p><strong>External Thread</strong></p>
  384. <ul>
  385. <li>The major diameter is measured on the crest of the thread.</li>
  386. <li>The major diameter is a critical dimension to control. Together with the pitch diameter, it forms the addendum of the thread and controls if the screw would fit on a bolt. The permissible range for the major diameter is derived from its class.</li>
  387. </ul>
  388. <p><strong>Internal Thread:</strong></p>
  389. <ul>
  390. <li>The major diameter is measured on the root of the thread.</li>
  391. <li>The major diameter is not a critical dimension. It only has a requirement to be equal to or larger than the nominal thread diameter.</li>
  392. </ul>
  393. <h2><strong>Minor Diameter:</strong></h2>
  394. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Minor-Diameter-1.png" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" width="700" height="700" class="size-large wp-image-133378 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Minor-Diameter-1-700x700.png" alt="" srcset="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Minor-Diameter-1-700x700.png 700w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Minor-Diameter-1-250x250.png 250w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Minor-Diameter-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Minor-Diameter-1-768x768.png 768w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Minor-Diameter-1-120x120.png 120w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Minor-Diameter-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
  395. <p>The minor diameter is the diameter of an imaginary cylinder that touches the smallest diameter of a thread. It depends on the pitch and the thread&#8217;s angle.</p>
  396. <p><strong>External Thread:</strong></p>
  397. <ul>
  398. <li>The minor diameter is measured on the root of the thread.</li>
  399. <li>The minor diameter is not a critical dimension. It only has a maximum requirement to ensure that the root is relieved.</li>
  400. </ul>
  401. <p><strong>Internal Thread:</strong></p>
  402. <ul>
  403. <li>The minor diameter is measured on the crest of the thread.</li>
  404. <li>The minor diameter is a critical dimension. Together with the pitch diameter, it controls if the bolt would fit on a screw.</li>
  405. </ul>

  407. <h2><strong>Pitch &amp; Lead</strong></h2>
  408. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-and-Pitch-1.png" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" width="700" height="700" class="size-large wp-image-133383 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-and-Pitch-1-700x700.png" alt="" srcset="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-and-Pitch-1-700x700.png 700w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-and-Pitch-1-250x250.png 250w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-and-Pitch-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-and-Pitch-1-768x768.png 768w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-and-Pitch-1-120x120.png 120w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-and-Pitch-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
  409. <p>Pitch is the axial distance between adjacent repeating features on a mechanical element. (e.g., screw thread, knur, saw blade)</p>
  410. <p>The lead is the linear distance the thread travels due to a full 360° rotation.</p>
  411. <p>In a single start thread, the lead equals the pitch. In multi-start threads, the lead equals the pitch multiplied by the number of starts. This means that in a multi-start thread, the lead will always be larger than the pitch.</p>
  412. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  413. <h2><strong>Lead Angle</strong></h2>
  414. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-Angle-1.png" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" width="700" height="700" class="size-large wp-image-133381 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-Angle-1-700x700.png" alt="" srcset="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-Angle-1-700x700.png 700w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-Angle-1-250x250.png 250w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-Angle-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-Angle-1-768x768.png 768w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-Angle-1-120x120.png 120w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lead-Angle-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
  415. <p>The lead angle measures the inclination of a screw helix from a plane that is perpendicular to the screw&#8217;s axis. In more simple words, it is the proportion between the screw&#8217;s lead and its diameter.</p>
  416. <p>As seen in this chart, a screw with a fine pitch and a large diameter will have a small lead angle, whereas a screw with a coarse pitch and a small diameter will have a large lead angle.</p>
  417. <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lvfHRZ2O0bo?si=UBP1ewSpwH-dIoUJ" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span></iframe></p>
  418. <h2><strong>Length of engagement</strong></h2>
  419. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Length-of-Engamement-1.png" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" width="700" height="700" class="size-large wp-image-133380 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Length-of-Engamement-1-700x700.png" alt="" srcset="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Length-of-Engamement-1-700x700.png 700w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Length-of-Engamement-1-250x250.png 250w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Length-of-Engamement-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Length-of-Engamement-1-768x768.png 768w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Length-of-Engamement-1-120x120.png 120w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Length-of-Engamement-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
  420. <p>Length of Engagement is the axial distance of full threads in contact between the male and female parts of a threading assembly. It is usually measured in multiples of the pitch. For example, 5P means a length of engagement of five times the pitch.</p>
  421. <h2><strong>Allowance</strong></h2>
  422. <p><a href="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AllowanceToleranceClass-1.png" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" width="700" height="700" class="size-large wp-image-133382 aligncenter" src="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AllowanceToleranceClass-1-700x700.png" alt="" srcset="https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AllowanceToleranceClass-1-700x700.png 700w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AllowanceToleranceClass-1-250x250.png 250w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AllowanceToleranceClass-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AllowanceToleranceClass-1-768x768.png 768w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AllowanceToleranceClass-1-120x120.png 120w, https://www.practicalmachinist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AllowanceToleranceClass-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
  423. <p>Thread allowance is the distance in maximum material condition between the nominal thread diameter and the crest of an external thread.</p>
  424. <p>The thread class defines it, and it indicates how tight or loose the thread is when assembled.</p>
  425. <p>A screw assembly with a small allowance provides better accuracy but is harder to assemble. A larger one is easier to assemble but provides lower accuracy.</p>
  426. <p>The allowance size does <strong>not influence</strong> a thread&#8217;s <strong>production difficulty</strong> or price.</p>
  427. <h2><strong>Tolerance</strong></h2>
  428. <p>The width of the tolerance field of a diameter on the actual thread profile. (Pitch, Major &amp; Minor diameters).</p>
  429. <p>A wide tolerance is easier and cheaper to produce. However, it results in a larger spread between threads. On the other hand, a narrow tolerance is more challenging and expensive to produce, but it yields a smaller spread between threads.</p>
  430. <h2><strong>Class</strong></h2>
  431. <p>To manufacture or measure a thread, one has to know the maximum and minimum permissible values of the basic dimensions. These values are calculated according to the thread class. The class is a number-letter code added after the thread&#8217;s description. For example 1A or 2C in inch threads and H7 or g6 in metric threads. The code indicates which allowance and tolerance (see above) should be used to calculate the maximum and minimum allowed diameters.</p>
