A transformer is a special machine used to change DC voltage from one level to another. It can be considered as an alternating current to a direct current converter. The transformer converts electrical energy into another form and changes AC's voltage levels into some other levels of AC.   Why do you need a transformer? For example: When you buy a hair dryer from Japan and use it back to Taiwan. The voltage in Japan is 100, and the voltage in Taiwan is 110. If you don't use a transformer, the hair dryer may break down. In mechanical use, that’s the same principle.   What is a machine tool transformer? Core and coil transformers for machine tools are used to provide voltage to control devices in applications where regulation and minimum space are important. Welded cores provide the highest quality electrical performance and quiet operation.   What is the use of a transformer? Transformers are used to change AC voltage levels, such transformers being termed step-up or step-down type to increase or decrease voltage level, respectively. Transformers can also be used to provide galvanic isolation between circuits as well as to couple stages of signal-processing circuits.   What type does Maple-Tech adopt?

What does maple adopt fixtures and jig in manufacturing process? Usually use milling vise , 3 jaw chuck and T-slot clamping kit like below photo. When machining process needed to trim some work piece or parts, Maple will do fixing with these three tools. Why do you need fixture and jig? Jigs and fixtures are frequently utilized in CNC machining to ensure precision, accuracy, and quality of CNC machined components. These are both types of engineered tooling designed to hold things in place during machining. The ability to hold things in place makes jigs and fixtures work holders for CNC machining. While both of these terms are commonly used interchangeably, there are differences between them. What is a fixture? A fixture is a device used to hold your workpiece in place while it’s machined. A fixture needs to be rigid, precise, and able to withstand the heat generated and coolant or oils used during machining. Rigid, accurate, and repeatable part holding is key to ensuring precision and accuracy of CNC machined parts. What is common types of fixtures ? 1.T-Slots 2. Milling Vise 3. Modular Fixture and Quick Change Solutions 4. Custom Made Fixtures Below video show how we machine work piece with milling vise on work table. What is a jig? While jig as a noun can mean a lively dance with leaping movements, we’re talking about machining jigs or manufacturing jigs. Moreover, a jig serves as a guide for machining tools to cut at required locations while increasing the productivity of the manufacturing process. Jigs are usually smaller than fixtures but typically require more customization, design, and machining  to produce, and so are more expensive than fixtures. Jigs are more commonly used for simple processes like drilling, reaming, boring, and tapping. What is common types of jigs ? 1. Drill Jigs 2. Box Jig 3. Angle Plate Jig 4. Sandwich Jig 5. Channel Jig 6. Special Process Jigs      

Some refer to through-spindle coolant as “coolant through the spindle” or simply CTS.Whatever you call it, CTS works just as its name implies. The machine builder installs a rotary union at the top of the spindle, some plumbing and hoses, and voila, so that your cutting tools would be cooled and well-lubricated. 😉   Why do you need CTS system? When the machine is processed, high-temperature water vapor will be generated, and the water vapor on the surface of the workpiece will isolate the adhesion of cutting fluid, resulting in a very low effect of cooling the workpiece or tool. If you would like to make sure machine and tools’ durability, try to adopt CTS system.Below we will know what CTS is and why we need it in machining process.   What is spindle through coolant? CTS is used in areas where it is necessary to control the temperature, humidity and filtration. The range was developed in accordance with quality standard and with certified mechanical properties, in search of lower energy consumption to respect the environment. By forcing coolant through the tip of the rotary tool, spindle through coolant (CTS) can prevent damage to workpieces, reduce cycle time, and extend the life of your tool. Depending on the application, coolant can be water-based, petroleum-based, or an emulsion of oil and water.   What is the advantage of CTS system ? CTS improves tool life, allows both deep hole drilling and blind pocket milling. It also allows high speeds and reduces cycle time.   What is the bar value of CTS meaning? From 6 , 20 ,30 ,50 to 70 bars. The higher the number of bars, the greater the pressure. You could choose CTS system according to the size of processed iron filings and material.   What brand does Maple-Tech adopt? CHUANG FONG CO., LTD.   During low-pressure machining, it is necessary to return the knife from time to time, and the cutting water can remove the iron filings in the hole. The processing process is more time-consuming. In high-pressure machining, there is no need to return the knife. The cutting water can directly hit the processing point and remove the iron filings directly, which can improve the processing efficiency.

If you want to boost the performance of machine and make it #keeponturning, Here’s some ideas 😉 👉 Linear scales. Linear encoders provide the highest measurement accuracy possible. Since linear encoders measure distance directly, leadscrew accuracy and backlash are not a factor in the measurement system. 👉 Tool life management function. With an early detection of the tool breakage, you will prevent damage to machine components. In addition, you will improve the quality of the workpieces and reduce the tooling cost. 👉 Oil skimmer. Having the coolant clean is indispensable for maintaining your machine´s performance. With an oil skimmer you will remove contaminants avoiding issues in your machine, keeping your production quality at the highest level. We have introduced Linear scale and tool management before, today let’s know more details of oil skimmer: The oil skimmer is also known as the patron saint of the water tank. What does oil skimmer do? Oil skimmer is a machine that removes floating oil and grease from liquid. The floating oil adheres to skimming media, such as a belt, tube, rope, mop, or disk. The media then runs back to the machine to be wiped clean. What are the advantages and disadvantages of oil skimmer? Although suction skimmers are generally very efficient, one disadvantage is that they are vulnerable to becoming clogged by debris and ice and require constant skilled observation. Suction skimmers do not do very well in rough or choppy water because the wave action will force more water than oil into the skimmer. How efficient is an oil skimmer? As the discs, drum or brushes are rotated through the skimmer head oil is collected in the central sump on a continuous basis. The skimmers have high efficiency - up to 99 percent! Speed can be varied to optimize efficiency according to conditions. What brand does Maple-Tech adopt? 👉Brand : Well Plum -Taiwan brand       What type of oil skimmer does Maple adopt in machining center?      👉Disk Type Oil Skimmer                              

Automatic tool changer often referred to as an ATC, is used to improve both the production and the tool carrying capacity of a computerized numerical control or CNC machine tool. It does this by allowing machine to work with various different tools. As such it is part of the process to achieve full automation. A simple CNC machine will be made to work with a single tool. More complex machines are capable of working with larger numbers of tools. However, for a machine to use more tools that an ATC must be provided. The array of tools are stored within a magazine which allows the machine to access a wider variety of them without the need for an operator.   What does ATC consist of? Automatic tool changer is generally comprised of a base, arms with a gripper, a tool holder and a support arm as well as the tool magazines.   How does ATC mechanism works? First, the automatic tool changing command is given. The tool that is going to be changed moves into the tool change position. The ATC arm then moves into the position so it can pick up the tool. One gripper arm moves the new tool to the turret while a second removes the old tool.   Why do we use ATC in machining center? 1. It could speed up the time of changing knives. 2. It could use the program to track the tool. 3. It could ensure the safety of knives.   How many common type of ATC in machining center? 1.Umbrella Type 2.Disk Type / Arm Type 3.Chain Type   What common type and brand does Maple-Tech adopt? Brand : DEX or SANJET Type : 20t UmbrellaType or 24-30t Disk Type
