Surviving As a Manufacturer in the 21st Century
The golden era of the manual and CNC machine shop has long been forgotten. It leaves many wondering exactly what is 'fair trade'. We spoke to many machine shops and studied 2 shops in depth and the conclusions are startling. Nearly all shops agree that unless something is done to change the way the United States operates with other countries, manufacturing will slowly die out in our country. The biggest concerns and finger pointing was at unions in today's marketplace, 'fair trade', and high restrictions put in place on small businesses.
The labor union, or trade union was a great stepping stone to increasing the quality of life in the U.S. during the 19th century. Unfortunately the common response heard when interviewing manufacturers was that because of increased scrutiny from the government child labor laws, minimum wages, and other laws made the labor union obsolete. Many believe that the UAW(united auto workers) union is what led to the failure of U.S. car manufacturing. It's believed that the workers were over paid and over compensated for the jobs they were performing which greatly affects the price and quality of the product they are making. Some think unions should be abolished in total, while others think it would be impossible because with or without a union there would still be strikes and disagreements which can happen even in non-union shops. It's hard to turn back time and find out what would be different with out it, but perhaps in the future we can look at changes to help manufacturing in the U.S. in the future.
The 'fair trade' act our government has adopted has drawn increased scrutiny from manufacturers in the U.S. Some wonder how it can be considered fair for other counties to over tax products coming from the United States while barely taxing products coming to the United States. Shops claimed that they could get parts completed on CNC machines shipped to them from China for less than the cost of the raw material needed to create the part in the U.S. There were stories of buying containers filled with parts for pennies on the dollar and still saving money by checking all the parts and disgarding over half that did not meet tolerances. With competition like that how is it fair? We hold our country to a high standard of life, high wages, insurance, environmental regulations, but yet don't do anything about products coming in from countries who still promote slavery and destruction of the environment with nearly no regulations. Does the person standing in line at Walmart contribute to the end of manufacturing in our country or is it just a change in tides of our nations economical power?
The last complaint was restrictions put on companies, including workmans comp. It is obviously important to create a fair workplace which does not put an employees health at risk. But with unemployment at a constant high, it seems odd that with all the bail out money nothing was done to help minimize the risk of hiring an employee who could be out to scam the system with a workers comp report or trying to get fired to get back on unemployment. Unfortunately most of those who have taken a risk of starting a business and adding employees know it is ony a matter of time before someone tries to take advantage of the system and put the burden of added costs on you.
Although manufacturers in general are not happy with the way things are going, there are some trying to take advantage of the markets current state. A few CNC machine shops have been buying new and used CNC machines. Some have also embraced buying Taiwanese and Chinese machines like Birmingham and GMC machine tools. Whatever the case may be everyone seems to agree that a lot can be done to help the United States pull itself out of the hole we have dug.

Improving Precision and Service Life through Fixture Adjustment and Maintenance
Fixture Adjustment Methods:
Fixture Maintenance Methods:
By properly adjusting and regularly maintaining fixtures, the machining accuracy and service life of Swiss-type lathes can be effectively improved, ensuring efficient and stable production processes.
The stress in a machine tool bed can influence machining quality in several ways:
Machining Accuracy
Deformation and Displacement: Stress in the bed can cause structural deformation, which in turn affects the positional accuracy of various machine components. For example, insufficient rigidity at the tailstock support of the bed may lead to positional deviations of the tailstock center, with maximum displacement deformation reaching up to 0.13465 mm. Such deformation directly impacts the relative positioning between the tool and the workpiece, resulting in machining errors.
Differences in Machining Effects with Different Power Head Configurations
Single Spindle vs. Dual Spindle: Single-spindle Swiss-type lathes usually come with one side power head and are suitable for machining relatively simple parts. In contrast, dual-spindle lathes can be equipped with more power heads and can even perform simultaneous machining on the main and secondary spindles, significantly improving machining efficiency and complexity.
Side Tool Post vs. Horizontal Tool Post: Power heads with a side tool post structure perform better when machining difficult-to-chip materials, while those with a horizontal tool post structure are more efficient for machining easy-to-cut materials.
In summary, the power heads of Swiss-type lathes offer significant advantages in machining accuracy, efficiency, complexity, and adaptability. Different power head configurations can be selected based on specific machining requirements to achieve the best machining results.
