Improving the productivity of machining processes is one of the basic requirements in every machine-tool engineering specification. Scientists have integrated a laser module into the tool station of a ...

Until 2016, it was impossible to incorporate a femtosecond laser—an ultra-short pulse duration laser—onto a 5-axis machine. This was first realized by the Swiss group Georg Fischer in 2016, thereby ...

Master of none, and all that.

FCP: Help me understand the qualitative or quantitative improvement this has over previous generations? Kevin Garcia (Trimble): What Roadworks does though, is it migrates to the to the newer platform, ...

The five-axis milling process continues to expand and evolve as machine tools and tooling become more capable. As an example, I recently learned about a new workholding system introduced to the market ...
