CBN, which stands for Cubic Boron Nitride, has revolutionized the machining sector ever since it’s invention. While you upgrade your conventional grinding wheels like vitrified Al₂O₃ or ceramic wheel to vitrified CBN, or vit-CBN, there are a few major points you should keep in mind.

But we do not have more tooling stations on the machine”, was the last thing I heard that night. In 2019, one of our customers had “urgently” called me to automate the deburring process of their crankshaft cross holes. After 3 days of day and night trials, we solved the application successfully. Later, the customer bought 4 sets of deburring tools for their various lines only to realize later that they had ordered new machines which did not have stations.

In today’s globalized world, aerospace and aircraft industries play a vital role in keeping everyone interconnected. Be it communications or transportation, these industries are crucial to the majority of the sectors. Without these accompanying us, we can’t ship people or products and it would take weeks or even months to reach overseas. Navigation would still be reliant on maps and there won’t be any modern communications and entertainment. 

Nowadays the demand for high precision is higher in various sectors related to aviation and aerospace. The reason is that a slight tinkering with the standards and the quality could lead to disasters in the industrial ambiences and also the social economy. That is why these industries are focused on having refined and better technologies in order to maintain the high standards of their products.

When we talk about Swiss sliding head machines, then they have a primary advantage which is they come from both geometry and mechanics and guide bushing in the tool zone. The best part is that the components in the swiss machines vibrate and deflect much less during the machining as compared to the traditional lathe. Also, due to the relatively compact nature, the tools don’t move very far from each other and the chip-to-chip time from one tool to the next gets shorter.
