It all starts with the HiTorque drive system, which is powered by a brushless DC motor and controller. The wound stator and permanent magnet rotor provide virtually constant torque over the entire speed range. RPM feedback from the motor to the controller helps insure constant speed through varying loads. By contrast, the conventional wound rotor DC motor and PWM controller card used in most other bench top mills and lathes require provide two speed ranges (selected by changing gears) to enhance low speed torque because the output torque of a DC drive like this falls off as the motor speed is reduced. Compared with the standard SIEG drive, the brushless DC drive in the HiTorque mills and lathes have greater torque, especially at low speeds. Compare the typical torque curves. The HiTorque drive lets you take deeper cuts at all speeds, and the low speed torque makes slow-speed operations like parting off significantly easier. Because of the nearly linear torque curve, the HiTorque drive does not need 2-speed gears. There is one continuous speed range. This means there are no gears to shift and no plastic gears to break. All HiTorque mills include these features, many of which you won’t find on competitive machines: • R8 spindle for wide tool availability (2 MT on 4700) • E-stop safety power switch • 0.001" graduated dials, 0.100" per turn • Fine feed on Z-axis for precise control • Solid rectangular column for rigidity • NSK brand Japanese-quality spindle bearings • Dovetail column to maintain head alignment at any height • Adjustable gibs on all dovetail ways Unique features of HiTorque lathes from LittleMachineShop.com include (besides the all-important HiTorque drive system) a cam-lock tailstock, genuine NSK spindle bearings, and extended threading capabilities. Tooling Packages and Accessories At LittleMachineShop.com, we offer much more than machines. For each of our mills and lathes, we offer tooling packages that include everything you need to get started with a new machine. Tooling packages offer tremendous savings over buying individual items, and you know that every part of the tooling package will work with your new machine. Each mill tooling package includes an appropriately sized: Lathe tooling packages include: • Precision vise and mounting kit • Quick change tool post set (for lathes that don’t already have • Thin parallels set one) • 1-2-3 blocks • Indexable turning tools • Clamping kit • Boring bar • Collet set • Center drills • End mill set • Cut-off blade • Center drills • Drill chuck and arbor • Edge and center finder • T-slot cleaner For some machines, we offer more than one tooling package, with the higher priced packages including more pieces (for example, more end mill sizes) and higher quality components. For complete details on the tooling packages, look in the Contents (the page opposite this one) for Kits > Mill Starter Kits and Kits > Lathe Starter Kits. We also offer stands designed specifically for these machines. Find them in this catalog under Machines > Stands/Cabinets. HiTorque Mills HiTorque Large Bench Mill, Models 6700/6750 Bigger. Stronger.

  • Practical Implementation of the Stream Function Method for Design of Arbitrary-Geometry Gradient Coils
    Practical Implementation of the Stream Function Method for Design of Arbitrary-Geometry Gradient Coils R. A. Lemdiasov1, R. Ludwig2 1Insight Neuroimaging Systems, Worcester, MA, United States, 2ECE Department, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, United States Introduction Over the past several years a variety of theoretical design methods for the construction of gradient coils have been developed. For instance, in [1] D. Green et al. minimize a weighted combination of power, inductance, and the square difference between actual and desired field. Representing the current as a Fourier series they find optimal coefficients that minimize the cost function. Our work is a continuation of last year’s research reported in [2]. In this paper we describe an alternative implementation of a stream function method to design gradient coils. Using this method we are able to determine the current distribution to achieve a prescribed magnetic field distribution in the Region of Interest (ROI) that is largely independent of the shape of the current-carrying surface. We will demonstrate the successful implementation of our approach as well as experimental results. Theory As mentioned above, a cost function Φ can be introduced in the form K Φ = 1 ()() ()− ()+ 2 +α ∑W rk Bz rk Bdes,z rk Boff ,z Wmagn (1) 2 k =1 () () where W r is a weight function, BZ is the z-component of the total field, Bdes,z r as well as Boff,z are the z-components of the desired and offset magnetic field, and α Wmagn is magnetic energy with being a weight coefficient. In (1), the first term denotes the square deviation of the magnetic field from the prescribed field, and the second term is the magnetic energy of the coil.

If you have anything you think we should add to this list, please reach out to us at [email protected]. 1. Learn About Lean Manufacturing Principles One of the most popular ways to improve almost any manufacturing process is to adopt a Lean Manufacturing framework. Lean management is all about improving operations continuously (you can always get better!) and reducing waste wherever you find it. Some key concepts from lean manufacturing to keep in mind are: • Customer Value: Define what your customer thinks is most valuable and optimize your operations to deliver on these things. By keeping the customer in mind, you ensure that everything you do will have an impact • Flow: Lean is all about making things flow faster. Every day, look for ways to simplify your procedures, keep your manufacturing floor organized, and have the right people doing the right jobs at the right times. • Respect & Empowerment: Create a culture where every employee—from the highest ranking to the lowest—feels comfortable pointing out opportunities for improvement and is empowered to fix things and make changes.

  • Building a Battle Station Model by Russell Barnes
    Building a Battle Station Model By Russell Barnes I. Introduction The summer is usually a pretty difficult time for me to work in my workshop. Chores abound around the house and there is seemingly some-thing to do almost every day that precludes any useful time spent in the workshop. The summer of 2004 was no different. By the time late July rolled around, I was desperate. I had not made anything for over a month. Something had to be done. What to do? Then it hit me. I was looking over the latest Model Expo catalogue and saw they still offered kit models of small battle stations. Not wanting to build a kit, I saw the potential for a quick scratch built project. Over the next two weeks I built a battle station model that turned out to be quite a conversation piece. As fate would have it, that model was destroyed when Hurricane Katrina washed away the local museum. I have decided to replace the battle station model, but it occurred to me that others might benefit from my experience having built it. So, I redrew the plans, making some improve-ments, and decided to set down a guide to building the model. I am not an expert and I make no claim that my methods are the only way to build the model. Someone building from these plans should view my words as a collection of helpful hints rather than a map to follow in order to arrive at a desired result. I envision this project as an introduction to scratch building.

  • Milling Fixtures Principles of Their Design and Examples from Practice Third Revised Edition
    UC-NRLF 25 CENTS B 3 Dlfi 742 MILLING FIXTURES PRINCIPLES OF THEIR DESIGN AND EXAMPLES FROM PRACTICE THIRD REVISED EDITION MACHINERY'S REFERENCE SERIES NO. 4 PUBLISHED BY MACHINERY, NEW YORK MACHINERY'S REFERENCE SERIES EACH NUMBER IS ONE UNIT IN A COMPLETE LIBRARY OF MACHINE DESIGN AND SHOP PRACTICE REVISED AND REPUBLJSHED FROM MACHINERY NUMBER 4 MILLING FIXTURES THIRD REVISED EDITION CONTENTS Elementary Principles of Milling Fixtures, by E. R. MARKHAM - 3 Examples of Milling Fixtures 26 Copyright, 1912, The Industrial Press, Publishers of MACHINERY 49-55 Lafayette Street, New York City X CHAPTER I ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OP MILLING MACHINE FIXTURES* The principal consideration, when designing fixtures that are to be fastened solidly to the table of a milling machine, should be to have the fixture firm enough to admit working the machine and cutter to their limit of endurance. In fact, the fixture should be stronger than the machine itself, and able to resist any possible strain that the cutter can exert. While fixtures should be strong, the movable parts should be so made as to be easily manipulated. All bearing and locat- ing points should be accessible to facilitate the removal of chips and dirt. The action of the clamping devices should be rapid, so that no time is lost in manipulating them. The Milling Machine Vise-False Vise Jaws The first fixture to consider is the milling machine vise, which has a stationary and a movable jaw, against which are placed removable jaws, held in place by means of screws. The stationary-removable jaw generally has connected with it any shelf, pins, or means for locating the pieces to be machined.

  • Types of Tap
    Types of Tap HAND TAPS ISO 529 These are straight flute general purpose tools which can be used for both machine or hand tapping. They are generally the most economical tool for use on production runs, but are best on materials that produce chips, or where the swarf breaks readily. Where deep holes are to be tapped, in materials which produce stringy swarf, serial taps may be needed, especially for coarse threads. ISO 529 hand taps can be supplied in sets of three; bottom, second and taper leads, or individually. BOTTOM TAPS have a chamfer (lead) of 1–2 threads, the angle of the lead being around 18 degrees per side. They are used to produce threads close to the bottom of blind holes. SECOND TAPS have a lead of 3-5 threads at 8 degrees per side. They are the most popular and can be used for through holes, or blind holes where the thread does not need to go right to the bottom. TAPER TAPS have a lead of 7-10 threads at 5 degrees per side. The taper lead distributes the cutting force over a large area, and the taper shape helps the thread to start. They can therefore be used to start a thread prior to use of second or bottom leads, or for through holes. IMPORTANT NOTE ON TERMINOLOGY! In the U.K. bottom taps are often referred to as ‘plugs’. In North America second taps are often referred to as ‘plugs’! This can easily lead to confusion. To avoid problems when ordering it is best to use the terms bottom, second and taper.
