A woodworking sander is a tool or machine that uses an abrasive cloth or paper to make the surface of a wooden workpiece smooth.

A hydraulic press is a machine that uses hydraulic pressure to process metal, plastic, rubber, wood, powder, and other products. It is commonly used in pressing processes and press forming processes.

Honing is a common procedure, similar to grinding, which is a used on the inside surface of a cylinder, tube, or bore hole after precision machining and grinding. It is performed as a final procedure after grinding, to attain a precise shape and high-quality surface finish on a workpiece.

In the manufacturing application of digital technology, CNC machining has been focusing on the improvement of the precision and accuracy of material processing, as well as the improvement of the operating process, so that most production processes can be completed on one machine, thereby improving overall production and efficiency, and reducing costs.

The machine tool is an indispensable tool for the production of industrial parts. For a long time, machining was manually completed in a step-by-step process. With the advancement of computer and machining technology, operating technology has been integrated into machining tools to produce CNC machine tools. CNC machining tools greatly improve production efficiency, which frees personnel for other duties. Many manufacturers use CNC machine tools to produce high precision products and parts that cannot be made by traditional machine tools. It is one of the preferred pieces of equipment used in many manufacturing industries.

Deburring is the removal thorns or burrs that have formed around the machined edges of a workpiece. The burr may seem small, but it can directly affect the quality and precision of the product.

Tool coating is an important key to improving a tool’s life time. Choosing the right tool coating to match the different cutting conditions and methods can help extend tool life, and optimize production process.

Roller bearings are designed to support the shaft of a rotating body, or the shaft of a linear moving body in a machine.

Reamers are rotary tools with one or more teeth, used to remove a thin layer of metal from the surface of a machined hole. These rotary finishing tools are used for adding a desired finish to the inside of predrilled holes.

In the machining process, as the tool cuts off the unnecessary material from the workpiece, a cutting force will be generated on the workpiece. To resist the cutting force and allow the cutting process to be completed, the workpiece must be firmly clamped on the machine tool. The device that positions and clamps the workpiece is called a fixture. The device that holds and guides the cutting tool is called a jig.

A CNC machining center is a kind of CNC machining machine which has had many other functions added. Combining milling, boring, drilling, tapping, and threading functions into one machine, enables a machining center to perform multiple processes.

In the face of the epidemic, material shortages, lack of manpower, port congestion, and soaring shipping costs, market demand and the structure of the global supply chain has changed.

To maintain the accuracy of finished products in the manufacturing industry, rapid detection and adjustment of machine tool performance is essential.

In 2020, the global machine tool market was worth 111.36 billion U.S. dollars. Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic and the Sino-US trade war, China’s import and export value of machine tools declined by 17.7% and 11.5% respectively in 2020 compared to 2019. However, it is still the world’s largest machine tool market, accounting for approximately 35% of the world’s total.

Smart machine tools originally referred to various stand-alone machines with auxiliary software functions, developed for machine tool factories to improve machine tool operating efficiency. In recent years, under the wave of Industry 4.0, smart machine tools have been given new definitions. Besides having enhanced auxiliary functions, smart machines need to complete production in coordination with all the equipment in the factory through the communication interface.

Geographically, Turkey is a natural land bridge located on the east-west axis and the north-south axis. It connects European, Middle Eastern, African, and Central Asian markets, giving it great geographical and economic advantages. Holding this key global position, its central location creates an efficient and cost-effective export hinterland and market for major trading partners.

The manufacturing industry occupies an important position in the British economy. Although the UK has declined in industrial scale, it still has some of the world’s top companies in steel, pharmaceuticals, biological breeding, aerospace, machinery, microelectronics, military, and environmental sciences, etc. All aspects are among the best in the world.

In the face of rapid changes in the international situation, seeking to expand exports and increase the added value of exports, we must also consider how to build a stronger industrial chain through industrial structure adjustment and international market layout strategies to improve the overall industry’s ability to withstand external shocks.

The trade war and the epidemic have impacted the global economy. No country can stay aside. As the world's top three exporters of machine tools, Japan is also facing the dilemma of a simultaneous decline in export and domestic demand! Although the orders from China in June ended Japan’s 27 consecutive months of negative growth over the same period, the machine tool industry’s demand for face-to-face with customers and delivery of machine installations has stagnated because the restrictions on movement have not been lifted, and the original production plan in the case of delay or contraction, all localities remain cautious about investment. Facing the impact of the epidemic, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry have also offered relief measures for manufacturers, including rent, working capital, preferential loans, and trade insurance, to avoid large-scale corporate failures in the country, and encourage Japanese companies to increase capital investment. Maintain the momentum of economic growth.

If you own a manual or CNC lathe, or if you are thinking about buying your first lathe, you may think about what types of the lathe are more suitable for you.
