From there we can choose tools and tool paths to graphically represent the machining process. Following are a few steps in the process as represented graphically by GibbsCAM.

This is a rendering of a finished part.

This is our fully automated, enclosed machining center that has a .0002" resolution repeatability. It is also equipped with a tool changer and coolant system.

This machine is capable of 4-axis machining with spindle speed of up to 8000 rpm and a feed rate of up to 710 ipm.

With these capabilities we are able to go from concept to producing a finished part in just a few steps.

This particular part is a pillar assembly used in a monochromator that was designed by the Instrument Design Group at Johns Hopkins University.

This monochromator will be used at NIST for focusing crystals that are exposed to gamma radiation to assist in the study of materials science.
