New CMM Will Help Metalformers Meet Process-Control Requirements
of the Future
“Our quality strategy is based on the assumption that process-control require- ments will increase in the future,” says Cindy Porter, corporate director of qual- ity for McGregor Metalworking Companies, Springfield, OH, commenting on the firm’s latest acquisition: a Brown & Sharpe Global Advantage DCC vertical coordinate-measuring machine. The com- pany recently installed the machine, with a measuring envelope of 59 by 87 by 39 in., to take speed and accuracy (2.5 microns) to a new level, basing its invest- ment decision not only on current require- ments but on future needs.
Called “a first of its kind,” the newly published Precision Machining Technol- ogy textbook, from Delmar Cengage, covers all 11 skills areas of NIMS (National Institute for Metalworking Skills) Machining Level I. Also included is NIMS Standards and Credentials to supplement manual and CNC skills. Chapters include Introduction to Machin-
ing, CNC and Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Machining skills.
The 11 NIMS skills areas:
• Measurement, Materials & Safety • Grinding Skills
• Job Planning, Benchwork and Layout • CNC Milling Operator
• Turning Skills: Turning Between
