ROLE OF THE TOOL MAKER. A tool maker understands the product design  and creates parts, tools and dyes to be used in the manufacture of these designs. The tool maker’s advice may also influence the industrial designer – so that the idea can be made easier to manufacture. The toolmaker will typically work in a specialist machinist shop, and using a number of different hand tools and often even other large equipment such as lathes, milling machines , grinding machines, and jig borers to make those tools and parts. Many tool makers now use computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing and machining tools to execute their tasks. For example, if you need a die to cast your new components, it is the tool maker that makes this die for you. If your die has been used for considerable time and it has become worn out, it is the toolmaker who repairs it for you. Certain delicate jobs require a tool maker to perform cutting, grinding, and finishing tasks by hand. TOOL MAKING. Tool

Artificial intelligence expands machine tool capabilities

The fourth Industrial Revolution promises new efficiencies and productivity gains for manufacturers. Machine tool suppliers are integrating Industry 4.0 capabilities and software companies that are providing powerful new tools such as those that utilize artificial intelligence. Machine tool manufacturers are creating solutions for job shops. Some recent AI innovations and benefits that machine tool manufacturers have introduced include:  Predictive maintenance: Some tools come equipped with special monitors that track machine components such as a spindle on a mill. Collision avoidance: Systems run applications that simulate the cutting action a few seconds ahead of the live cut, predicting collisions and shutting down the process to prevent damage. Reduced overhead: Machine tools require a massive amount of energy, even when they’re idle. Many machine tools use AI in the form of meters and sensors to evaluate a machine’s energy usage and make decisions on how to reduce energy.  Mach

Categories One: Precision Measuring Machinist Tools This category contains a list of machine tools that are vital in measurement. Below are important ones that you will want to include in your toolbox. Calipers The caliper is one of the important machinist measuring tools for those just beginning into machining. It is a machinist tool used to measure the distance between an object opposite two opposites accurately. To measure using the calipers, fix the tips on the two points in the area of measurement. Remove the points and measure the distance between the tips without a ruler or other available tools. There are many types of calipers. Some even allow measurement reading using other tools such as a ruled scale, a dial, or a digital display. Depending on what you want, you can choose between a dial or a digital caliper. However, both have merits and demerits. Therefore, you should store them properly since bad storage can affect their precision. ·        Dial Indicator A dial indicat
