Home / Issues / March 2021 Digital Issue Perfecting the Partnership: Optimizing the Human/Cobot Interference. Collaborative robots (cobots) are easier to integrate into manufacturing operations because their ability to see and learn makes them easier to program than industrial robots. Pairing humans and machines adds a personal touch to opportunities in manufacturing. They'll boost throughput more by communicating directly with their human coworkers on welding, assembling, and other processes.
The Rise of Trochoidal Milling: More Accessible Than Ever
Home / The Rise of Trochoidal Milling: More Accessible Than Ever Circular machining with low radial engagement and constant feed per tooth extends tool life by minimizing heat and vibration when machining extremely hard materials. CAM and control developers are making it easier for any size shop to add this technique to their capabilities. Trochoidal milling creates a circular machining or peel-style toolpath with low radial engagement and constant feed per tooth.

Do you know the full power of your 5-axis control?
Complex, 5-axis parts benefit from vector programming. Many 5-axis control users access only a small portion of the power at their manufacturing fingertips. The demand for quicker, more efficient machining of complex parts has been met with powerful 5-axis CNC functions, and the full features are impressive. As R&D continues in this area, expert tips are emerging. For example, CNC users now have access to many forms of tool compensation not previously available.
