20140165375 | METHOD FOR MACHINING METALLIC MEMBER USING LATHING AND SCRAPING - A method for machining a metallic member to provide a finished appearance uses a lathe and a scraping process. A metallic member comprising a top portion and a peripheral sidewall is provided, the metallic member is positioned on the worktable. The worktable is rotated with the metallic member, the lathe tool moved backwards and forwards to machine the top portion of the rotary metallic member circumferentially. The lathe tool is moved by the moving device along a predetermined path relative to the worktable to machine curved surfaces of the top portion of the metallic member. The scraping cutter is moved to contact the peripheral sidewall of the metallic member. The scraping cutter is moved along a predetermined path, and the scraping cutter is fed the metallic member to achieve the required shape and finish. | 06-19-2014 |

20160023316 | DUAL--SPINDLE MACHING APPARATUS - An apparatus for machining a workpiece has a housing having a vertical front wall and first and second side walls extending generally perpendicularly back from outer edges of the front wall, directed horizontally oppositely away from each other, and defining first and second planes themselves delimiting a space. First and second vertical guides on the first and second side walls outside the housing carry first and second vertical slides moveable vertically on the first and second vertical guides of the first and second side walls. First and second horizontal guides on the first and second vertical slides carry first and second horizontal slides movable horizontally on the first and second horizontal guides of the first and second vertical slides between the first and second front work stations and the first and second rear transfer stations. | 01-28-2016 |
20160031013 | Heterogeneous Composite Bodies With Isolated Cermet Regions Formed By High Temperature, Rapid Consolidation - A heterogeneous composite consisting of near-nano ceramic clusters dispersed within a ductile matrix. The composite is formed through the high temperature compaction of a starting powder consisting of a core of ceramic nanoparticles held together with metallic binder. This core is clad with a ductile metal such that when the final powder is consolidated, the ductile metal forms a tough, near-zero contiguity matrix. The material is consolidated using any means that will maintain its heterogeneous structure. | 02-04-2016 |
20160074943 | SIMULTANEOUS TURNING DEVICE FOR FABRICATION OF EYEGLASS LENSES - A turning device has two turning stations, each with a rotatable work piece spindle to hold a lens blank and each with a turning tool for the machining of a lens blank. A fabrication mechanism for the manufacturing of eyeglass lenses from lens blanks includes a milling device and the turning device, wherein the milling device has at least one milling station with a work piece holder to hold a lens blank and a milling tool for the machining of the lens blank. A loading device is configured to remove lens blanks from the milling device and load them into the turning device.
