One of the manufacturing megatrends of the recent decades is to simplify and minimize the number of machining setups required to produce a specific component.
Thanks to the CHIPS and Science Act, domestic semiconductor production appears to be ramping up. How can American manufacturers get ready to support it?
Take a closer look at how a Midwest appliance manufacturer used non-woven agglomerated grain technology to put a structured cosmetic finish on a ring for a high-end kitchen appliance, remove the medium-sized burrs left on the ring from stamping, and increase their productivity by 5X!
As part tolerances tighten, both form and surface finish have a bigger influence on the size and function of the product. With pressures on manufacturing to be more productive, it’s becoming more important to measure surface finish right at the point of manufacture—often by the same machinist who is manufacturing the part.
