We just got word that AIMS Metrology is about to have a significant inventory of refurbished Sheffield Discovery CMMs available.

For shops looking to bring measurement in-house, improve quality control, or take the next step beyond handheld inspection tools, these machines can be an excellent option.

Inventory is expected to move quickly once available. Contact MachineTech if you'd like the current stock list or want to discuss whether a Sheffield Discovery CMM is the right fit for your operation.

Fridays don't get better than this! This newly installed Hurco VM30i just made a huge mess of some plastic after we got it up and running in its new home.

Probing isn’t just for setup anymore!

With Renishaw probing, shops can:
• verify parts mid-cycle
• adjust offsets automatically
• reduce scrap before it happens

It turns your machine into part of the inspection process. Are you using in-machine probing as a part of your process? Let us know how in the comments.

Today isn’t just about a long weekend. It’s a day to remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country and the sacrifices made far beyond the shop floor.

We’re grateful for the freedoms we often take for granted and for those who made them possible. From all of us at MachineTech, we hope everyone has a safe Memorial Day as we take time to remember those who served and never made it home.

That green light on your CNC machine tells you everything you need to know. When it’s on, parts are moving and production is running. When it’s red, money stops.

The good news? Most downtime is preventable.

We put together a blog covering:
• the biggest causes of machine downtime
• why machines fail
• and what shops can do to stay ahead of problems before they become expensive repairs

While we were at the INDEX Open House in Germany this year, we got to see the new machines that they will be showcasing at IMTS this year, and we can tell you that you are not going to want to miss out on seeing them in person. On that note, we will be at IMTS at multiple vendor booths. Give us a call if you'd like to meet up to grab a drink and chat.

Most shops have heard the same things about multispindle machines for years:
“They’re too complicated.”
“They only make sense for massive production.”
“Setup takes too long.”

The reality? Modern INDEX multispindle machines are far more flexible, efficient, and capable than many manufacturers realize.

In our latest blog, we break down what we think are the 5 biggest misconceptions about multispindle technology and explain why more shops are taking a second look at these machines.

If your shop is focused on increasing throughput and lowering cost per part, this is worth the read.
