Summary:
Two internal thread grinding machines - worth GBP 800,000 - have been shipped to produce high quality automotive components in large volumes in shortest floor to floor time.News from: Matrix Machine Tool (Coventry) Edited by: Manufacturingtalk Editorial Team on 4 April 2005 Note: Readers of the Editor's free weekly email newsletter will have read this news the week it was announced.David Giles, Vice President of the company, said 'We are naturally delighted to see the first machines leaving the site, especially as they have been built on an exceptionally tight timescale'.'This has set a very acceptable standard and one which we will be able to maintain'.'It is also a credit to our suppliers that they were able to deliver to meet our tight schedule, particularly the casting supplier which is also British'.The machines are both Matrix 6950 5 axis CNC internal thread grinders, a range designed to produce high quality components in large volumes with the minimum of floor to floor time.The machines are typically used in the manufacture of high precision components for automotive, aerospace and high precision industrial applications.Positional accuracies of the wheelhead is continually monitored and data fed back into the controller by linear scales.The control system, which is entirely developed and created by Matrix's own engineers, is probably the most technically advanced control system available.Using a corrected compound angle approach of the spindle in conjunction with the two axis CNC dresser, which continually corrects the grinding wheel profile, and components with a higher than usual helix angle can be ground successfully.The workhead is driven by a digital servo motor to give smooth rotational movement.The workholding characteristics allow 200kg of fixture and component weight to be carried on the spindle without extra support.Feed back from the spindle is by rotary encoder which also facilitates programmable automatic indexing for multi-start components as standard.

Summary:
Sometimes saving a brand means making tough choices.In order for Eastern Mountain Sports to regain its foothold as a premier outdoor outfitter, it may have to cut loose many of its customers.On the contrary, the 52-year-old CEO of outdoor retailer Eastern Mountain Sports looks more like he might just pick a fight for the hell of it.It's the kind of intensity that has earned him the nickname "Mad Dog" at the company's headquarters in the woods of Peterborough, New Hampshire.But chicken or not, Manzer is running for his life.The company was founded in 1967 by a gritty mountain man who was irritated that no one in the United States carried ice-climbing axes.But in recent years, EMS moved away from selling technical gear such as kayaks, rock-climbing shoes, and ski bindings to hard-core outdoor types, and began courting older, mainstream customers with such soft stuff as fleece jackets and cotton sweaters."EMS had become a Gap with climbing ropes," says Manzer of the outfit he acquired through a management buyout in September.In the short run, that could mean some loss of revenue, and maybe some store closings and relocations.Rodney Brewer of Worcester, Massachusetts, is just the kind of gearhead EMS lost and wants back.Brewer first walked into an EMS store when he was 12.The store's message to customers like Brewer: "Don't shop here anymore; we don't carry gear," says veteran employee Tim Bradbury.Lucas Conley is a Fast Company staff writer.

Lawn Care edu.com News: Going organic!?
IPM -- Integrated Pest Management -- minimizes pesticides through understanding the life cycle of the pest and finding weak points.For example, mechanical barriers and traps, biological adversaries and natural repellents, removing attractions.Important methods -- our main resources for many situations.But with plants, we have a significant additional advantage: healthy biological systems resist pests.On March 8 when "Lawn Care Tips and Tricks" was snowed out, I enjoyed the quiet and the time-out the storm gave us -- but I was glad there's another free presentation on organic lawn care coming.Funded by The Groton Commissioners of Trust Funds; and sponsored by The Groton Garden Club, The Groton Board of Health and the Groton Conservation Commission: on April 10 at 2 p.m., Pat Beckett and Chip Osborne -- co-chairs of the Marblehead Pesticide Awareness Committee and their Living Lawn Project -- will speak at the McNeill Lounge at Lawrence Academy, on "Simple Steps Toward Organic Lawn Care."but now rescheduled: Donald Bishop of Gardens Are...

Summary:
Editor's note: Readers of the free Manufacturingtalk weekly email newsletter will have read this news the week it was announced.The twin-spindle lathe, available in 42mm and 65mm bar versions, has upper and lower turrets whose guideways consist of a cast iron plate sliding over ceramic-coated steel strips, X and Z motions being effected by kinematic rods behind the bed.Another unusual feature is the 2-axis opposed spindle, which is electronically coupled with the lower turret so backworking may be performed while twin-turret front-working is in progress at the main spindle.
