Engineers around the world are designing increasingly compact products. To meet their needs, igus®, the Germany-based manufacturer of motion plastics, has developed micro gears with modules down to 0.2. The gear teeth have dimensions very close to that of human hair. However, thanks to high-performance plastics, they still allow low-wear, precise movements for high-quality products… The post As fine as a human hair: new igus micro gears with 0.2 module appeared first on Design World.

One of the major advantages of Swiss-type lathes is how much action gets squeezed into a comparatively small work area. This enables the machine tool to dramatically increase the efficiency of part production, especially when multiple cutting tools engage the part at once. While these tightly packed tooling configurations are designed to maximize productivity, they also create complex programming challenges for the users.
