:: Tools to Help you Prepare for PMTS Just like you prepare for an important meeting, it's helpful to do the same for a prominent industry show such as the Precision Machining Technology Show (PMTS) 2017, April 25-27, in Columbus, Ohio. Even if you are not planning to attend, it is useful to read up on the products that the show vendors will be displaying in order to stay abreast of the latest industry innovations. PM makes this task simple: Visit the PMTS Zone on our website, productionmachining.com . You'll find PM content, including not only products that are displayed at PMTS, but also columns written by our editors and blog posts that give details about the show and what to expect as well as information about PMTS presentations and other helpful content. :: Cutting Data App Improves Productivity Big Kaiser has developed a smartphone and tablet app to enhance the user experience when assembling and running boring tools while providing precise cutting data. This app also helps operators fine-tune the optimal cutting parameters for their tool assemblies. They can save their tool adjustment history in the app for future reference; this is an essential piece of the puzzle for shops joining the smart manufacturing movement. Fifty Big Kaiser boring heads, covering diameters from 0.016 inch to 24.41 inch, are currently supported by this app. Cutting data for roughing and finishing tools is available in both inch and metric units. The app is available for free download from the App Store and Google Play by searching "Big Kaiser boring app." :: Online Marketplace for Shops and Manufacturers LAPTR.com (Linking Available Parts to Resources) is an online marketplace for machine shops and manufacturing businesses where inactive machines can get back to work, or users can quickly get bids on parts they need made. LAPTR.com members are matched to other members according to their unique part and resource details. Members provide details on what parts are needed or what resources they have available. The system then reaches out across all available listed parts and resources and matches the most compatible parts and resources together. When a resource is listed, the user's dashboard will show the parts that match it, and the user decides which of those to send RFQs to. If a resource part is listed, the member dashboard will show the parts that have requested an RFQ. Change your shop's view of complex jobs.
