Shanghai Precision Machinery are a dedicated manufacturer of special profile inserts and are reaping the benefits of their investment in automation

The market for special profile inserts is booming globally, however winning in this market requires the right equipment and knowledge. Shanghai Precision Machinery is dominating in this sector and to keep up with demand, looked for a grinding machine that offered strong but flexible production capacity and good technical support.

Solid carbide thread mills can produce threaded holes as small as 8mm

Thread mills drastically reduce cycle time and the occurrences of scrap when compared to taps, which makes them desirable when manufacturing large and costly components. I.e. if a tap breaks during the process it’s difficult to remove and rethread on larger components. However, threading a workpiece is by no means is as simple as it sounds.

Reduce lead times and load tools on the fly with radio-frequency identification

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) increases the flexibility of tool programming, automating the tool loading process and removing the need for an operator to program individual loader pallet pockets to a specific tool. This product is ideal for regrinding or manufacturing a varied range of tools in small to medium sized batches and is available with the TXcell and MX tool grinders.
