Injection mold tooling question. What is your go to ultrasonic cleaning solution. The solution I am using appears to leave a residue and parts stick in the mold on initial start up.

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their courage, dedication, and service will never be forgotten. #memorialday #gonebutnotforgotten #cmmc #southcarolina #machining #cncmachining #metalworking #engineering #metalfab #productionmachining #custommetalwork

Moser Engineering Services and NCSS are working together to bring adaptive machining to the forefront of the industry. We are able to leverage NC Transform to accomplish what was nearly impossible before. We can morph NC programs to the physical part independent of controller type and CAM software. What does this mean for you? Permanent solutions: Employees can be trained to use NCSS software directly, eliminating the need for constant third party support Increased efficiency: Less time spent on manual adjustments and corrections along with less scrap produced from human error Custom Solutions: Previously difficult projects can be drastically simplified, reducing lead times and engineering costs #engineering #manufacturing #MES #MoserServices #MoserEngineeringServices #manufacturingexcellence #NCSS

If your bar stock is too large in diameter to bar feed, or you have individual parts that need to be individually loaded into the spindle, then the Haas Automatic Parts Loader (APL) is a great fit! Running an APL can typically double the size of parts you can handle, from 3-inch (75 mm) diameter to 6-inch (150 mm) diameter. The APL also works well to load shafts of various sizes. If you have lots of parts that have had outside processing, such as heat-treating or plating, the APL can make easy work of loading and unloading those parts for you. Haas Automatic Part Loaders are made entirely in-house, so we control the cost, providing a low price/high value solution to your automation needs. APLs also are a more affordable solution than using six-axis robots or cobots, due to their simple, two-axis gantry design with a single-axis programmable parts table. Pairing a Haas APL with a Haas CNC turning center is one of the most popular platforms among Haas users. The affordability and ease of set up mean you will gain added performance on your shop floor in no time. Choosing an APL for your lathe is ideal for parts up to 6 inches (150 mm) in diameter and weighing less than 10 lb (4.5 kg) each. Built-in Haas control templates simplify set up and programming, making the APL more viable for smaller part runs. Designed and built exclusively for use on Haas turning centers, the APL connects directly to the Haas control. Free up your existing talent pool, so that your employees can accomplish more meaningful tasks, and get more done in a day.

Do you run a machine shop? What is your plan if your controller fails and you learn it's obsolete? Are you prepared for this situation? Do you have a plan in place? The best time to plan is prior to the situation occurring. Many machine shops are crippled by controller failure. This typically happens in shops leveraging outdated hardware which is no longer supported. Often times resources are spent attempting to locate a used controller or a product on the secondary market. Do you want to put your business in a position where… -Manhours are spent attempting to repair a controller while your machines sits idle. -Typically productive employees sit on the sidelines waiting for a replacement. -Your employees attempt to tackle the replacement on their own, only to find they lack the knowledge and expertise to properly fix the issue. -Department heads scour the internet in search for a used controller as a band-aid for what will become a recurring problem down the line. All of these activities will negatively impact the profitability and output of your organization! It is not a matter of “if” but rather a concern of “when” you’ll find yourself in this situation if you’re not planning in advance. Common models which fall into this category are: -Allen-Bradley 8-series -Allen-Bradley 9-series -Older GE / FANUC CNC Controllers
