An example
of what we can do: |
 |
 |
 |
| We are currently using GibbsCAM
software to program our CNC machining centers. We can import file from different
CAD programs such as AutoCAD and Pro-E. |
Our customer can supply a CAD
drawing or we can create a 2-D drawing. By definining lines and depths,
we can create a solid, 3-D model. |
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. |
