Configuring bend tables of a CAD sheet metal module
 |
A simple but working methodology about configuring the bend tables of a CAD sheet metal module is described in this article. The CAD user with a simple and workable method can accomplish correspondence between the CAD software and a CNC bending press. |
Non-standard metric screw thread geometry calculation
 |
Numerous applications require non-standard metric screw threads. Although non-standard screw threads should be avoided, when there is lack of an appropriate thread size many manufacturers (optical instruments, small size precision parts) use them. This article describes how to calculate such screw threads. |
Sensor protection
 |
Sensors are used almost for every application in industry. Sensors make our job easier since they provide us many solutions. Sensors perform very well if and only machine designers provide protection against workshop hazards. This article describes a few design principles for sensor protection. |
Working with projection views
 |
The standard way to create an illusion of a 3-D image is to use the default drawing profiles or projection views. This article describes how to make these drawing profiles when your CAD program do not provide a preset function of projection views. |

Swinging positioner
|
The positioner locates a workpiece during the machining. The swinging positioner who is described in this document locates the workpiece accurately from a hole. After the workpiece is positioned then it is lowered in its clamping state whilst the positioner swings with it.
|
Leveling jack
|
The jack is a part support (jacking up). After clamping the part it is prevented from being distorted or vibrated during the machining process. The leveling jack is functioning as an equalizer and not for jacking up the part.
|
Internal positioner
|
Positioners locate workpieces. The internal positioner described in this document locates the workpiece approximately from an internal recess. A centering vice jaw is further positioning the workpiece more accurately.
|
Crimping tool
|
The crimping tool is useful in manufacturing of steel idlers and rollers. Also with modifications can be use in many applications where crimping of thin round sheet metal components is needed.
