John Hart Pty Ltd is continuing with “normal” operations during this challenging time. Although we expect some business disruption, we will do our utmost to provide the same level of world class service and support our customers always rely on.
Manufacturers’ part programming needs vary from one shop and industry segment to the next. So their machine tool CNC needs are different as well. Truly effective controls allow for the programming of complex to simple part geometries programed either in the front office or on the shop floor at the machine tool. G-code (EIA/ISO) and conversational types of part programming make this possible.
Version 2020.1 of the hyperMILL CAD/CAM suite is now available. This software release provides additional user-friendliness for hyperMILL programmers. Enhancements are to programming tasks, and also to make machining quicker and simpler.
The city of Burnie, located in northern Tasmania, has taken a few blows in recent years. The local manufacturing industry has shed many jobs due to offshore moves and a downturn in forestry and mining activity, which has severely impacted the region. In the mean-time, aquaculture (marine farming) has expanded rapidly in Tasmania since the 1990’s and is now one of the State's major industries.
A Burnie based business is thriving on the transition to manufacturing for aquaculture.
Brent & Warburton have just purchased their first Mazak CNC machine tool.
Established in 1913, Brent & Warburton is a family owned and operated manufacturing business located in Tomago, in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, boasting 6 CNC Lathes, 6 CNC Mills, many manual machines, fabrication and fitting facilities, and 6 over-head cranes.
The spindle is the heart of a machine tool, and when it gives out, repair and rebuild can resuscitate it for continued service and productivity. But these are delicate operations, and they must be performed according to specific process procedures using the best equipment and replacement parts. Optimal results are achieved when the professionals who originally produced the spindle are the ones to repair and rebuild it.
John Hart is dedicated to the continued improvement and investment in their service and support infrastructure, and have marked that commitment by opening a second office in New South Wales, located in Newcastle.
Multi-Tasking machine tool technology has revolutionized manufacturing and continues to play a critical role in today’s truly progressive machine shops. Besides the amazing gains in productivity, Multi-Tasking technology has catapulted machine shops, especially smaller ones, to levels where they can easily machine the most complex parts in the world and do so cost-effectively.
Despite the fact that Multi-Tasking technology has become increasingly common in machine shops around the world, many manufacturers still believe such machines are costly and a challenge to integrate into existing processes and automation. Where these myths arose remains a mystery, but the facts are easy to find, especially when discussing Mazak Multi-Tasking.
Ever since the creation of the first all-metal lathe in 1751, manufacturers have depended on highly flexible and precise “mother machines,” the metal cutting equipment used to produce all other factory equipment. More than 200 years later, Mazak contributed to this effort with its Slant Turn 40 ATC Mill Center, which gave manufacturers the ability to mill and turn on a single machine platform. Today, Mazak offers a comprehensive range of solutions – the Five Levels of Multi-Tasking – designed to ensure that each manufacturer has an option that suits their unique needs.
