5 Axis Milling Machine Demonstrates Capabilities

5 Axis Milling Machine Demonstrates Capabilities: "



The video below from Daishin Seiki Corporation, demonstrates the capabilities of a 5 axis milling machine turning a solid piece of aluminum into a motorcycle helmet used as a showpiece for a European exhibition. The machine simply turns the workpiece around to get access to every conceivable spot and the end result is an intricate and precise piece with all of the detail you could possibly expect. There was obviously some excellent programming involved, but once done, this type of work could be repeated over and over with equal precision.

What is Horsepower and Torque?

What is Horsepower and Torque? <- FULL ARTICLE HERE
"Torque measures a force being applied while horsepower is a measure of how much work the force can do."


"Horsepower conversion formulas


The neat thing about defining a reference point with numbers is how easy it is to convert that reference to some other unit of measure.
1 horsepower = 550 foot-pounds/second
1 horsepower = 33,000 foot-pounds/minute
1 horsepower = .7456999 * kilowatts
1 kilowatt = 1.34102 * horsepower..." READ MORE
