Bar Puller Basics

Bar pullers are cost-effective alternatives to enable automated turning on CNC lathes. This article explains how they work and how shops can benefit from using them.

Another Step Toward CNC Programming Automation

Part designers and part programmers have to think differently. Esprit FX is a development from DP Technology (Camarillo, California) that helps overcome the "disconnect" that occurs when designers pass geometry to CNC programmers. FX stands for "feature exchange." It allows programmers using Esprit CAM software to receive information about the designer's original intent automatically so that part programs can be created more quickly and more accurately.

Lights-Out With A Lighter Commitment

For this integrated flexible pallet cell, the machines and the pallet system came from different suppliers. The shop is not locked into any supplier for adding machining centers later.
