haas cnc: Stewart To Haas-CNC; The Plot Thickens

haas cnc

More information has surfaced on the story we first discussed yesterday; that two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart is working on a deal to jump from Joe Gibbs Racing to Haas CNC Racing next season. Both ESPN.com and Sports Illustrated’s website -- SI.com – say Stewart will be given partial ownership in Haas CNC Racing, in exchange for his agreement to drive for the team, beginning in 2008.

Stewart’s contract with JGR runs through the 2009 campaign, making a move before then extremely complicated, if not impossible. Stewart's PR spokesman, Mike Arning, admitted as much yesterday, saying, “He's there this year, and he's there next year. I know for a fact that JGR is interested in retaining Tony for 2010 and beyond. They'd like him to retire at Joe Gibbs Racing. As Tony's said many times, 'Nothing's broke. Why change it?'”

The reports persist, however, saying that Stewart has begun talks with JGR officials to obtain a release from the final year of his contract. Team President J.D. Gibbs made it clear that he expects Stewart to honor his contract to the letter, saying, “The reality is, he's racing here through 2009. There's no ifs, ands or buts about that one. Our stance is he's racing for us through 2009."

The reported deal has Stewart receiving as much as a 50% ownership stake in Haas-CNC Racing, while also being paid to drive one of their two Chevrolets. Haas-CNC General Manager Joe Custer admitted today that he has spoken with several parties about the future of the team, including Stewart's representatives. That admission contradicts the statements of Haas-CNC spokesman Ron Mench, who said yesterday that there has been no communication with Stewart. Custer said that no deal has been reached, but that he would be “interested in discussing a partnership with a driver of (Stewart’s) caliber."

If the move happens, Stewart would return to the Chevrolet camp after a year with Toyota. Many observers point to Stewart’s ongoing relationship with Chevrolet -– which supplies engines to his open wheel midget and sprint car teams -– as a major factor in his decision to bolt JGR. However, Stewart drove JGR Chevrolets for many years, while receiving Mopar engines and financial backing for his short track programs.

haas cnc racing Mayfield To Haas CNC Racing

haas cnc racing Mayfield To Haas CNC Racing

Effective immediately, Jeremy Mayfield will replace Jeff Green at Haas CNC in the #66 Best Buy/Haas Automation Chevrolet. Jeff Green had been driving the car since the beginning of the 2006 season, but has only recorded five top ten finishes in the time-span.

Mayfield has spent a majority of his first season with Bill Davis Racing on the couch as a spectator as he has only qualified for 13 of the 32 races. Ever since his acrimonious split with Ray Evernham and Evernham Motorsports, now Gillett Evernham Motorsports, Mayfield's career has hit a downward spiral. This opportunity with Haas CNC may not lead him to a NASCAR Sprint Cup championship, but he will have the luxury of utilizing Hendrick Motorsports engine packages.

All three of Jeff Green's top ten finishes have occurred on tracks in which the Car of Tomorrow has been used, so considering that the Car of Tomorrow will be fully implemented in 2008, Mayfield could reel of a few good finishes. Scott Riggs will likely take over the #70 ride that Johnny Sauter currently drives.

"He (Jeremy Mayfield) has been in the Chase two of the last four years and that was a big factor in our decision. We very excited," said Joe Custer, the general manager for Haas CNC.

Now that Mayfield is off the market, David Stremme has become the top free agent

Local manufacturing firm Crestwood Cabinets, Inc., has just acquired a Morbidelli Universal 3615 Computer Numerical Control machine.

CNC machines are used in manufacturing to produce components with exacting tolerances and to increase production capacity while reducing waste.

Crestwood owner Deane Hinrichs explained, “The CNC machine gives us the ability to do even more detailed and intricate custom work as well as high-volume commercial cabinetry.

“It also helps us be more environment-friendly by reducing the amount of waste generated from cabinet production.”

The CNC machine was delivered to Crestwood’s factory, located on 760th St. in Hager City, last month and became fully operational Nov. 7. Factory representatives spent five days earlier this month performing setup, programming and training Crestwood personnel.

Crestwood Cabinets has been locally owned for over 30 years. Deane Hinrichs is a second-generation owner and a local resident. Crestwood currently employs nine local residents.

cnc router Learn About Cnc Router Diy Tips And Diy Cnc Router Basic Information

Many people like to build their own CNC Router because they like having something that functions that they have built by their own hands. There are many different ways that you can do this yourself if you would like to do it.

Some people like to bypass some of the making of the CNC Router and they do this by purchasing a kit. Kits are a good idea to get a start on what you want to do because they show you, step by step, how your machine will work. If you are a visual person who needs something to look at while you build, this will be a perfect way for you to start your do-it-yourself project.

Plans vary however so make sure that the plan you use has the information you need. As an example, some plans give you a brief idea of what you will be doing to create the plan. Others will give you full blueprints that will show you step by step what to do and what it should look like at every step of the way.

Some people prefer to just wing it and try their hand at the building of their own CNC Router. If you are this type of person, having a plan to look at as a guide can be the perfect way to make sure your design is workable. Either way you will have a finished product.

The greatest reason to build your own DIY CNC is that you can get the parts for a fraction of what you would pay in the store.

Things to Think About when Making a CNC Router
When you first think about making your own DIY CNC the first thing you will need to do is decide on a design. There are basically two types of designs that you will have to choose from. Either you want one with a stationary gantry and a mobile bed, or you want one with a mobile gantry and a stationary bed. There are advantages to both types.

The mobile bed is usually used on smaller machines like engravers and isn’t as common as the stationary bed. You will also need to decide on how large you want the cutting area to be which will be determined by the size of the material you will want to cut. This may change as you build and as you start looking for parts.

Another item to take into consideration is how big a machine you want. If your space is limited, you will have to consider how far you want your router to travel. This may mean that it just goes the length of the space. In any case you won’t want to have wasted space in the area where you are going to use your CNC Router.

Finally, you will have to decide on the type of tolerance you want. This will speak to the accuracy and the precision of the machine. Once you understand what you want, it’s time to look at the steps to building it which will be talked about in a different article.

CNC Tube Bending

CNC Tube Bending is not such a weird hobby in today’s world, which is why it has made it to is own page on CNC Information’s website where you can find all you need to know about a CNC Tube bender plus more. Ivan has a complete section on different types of Computer Numerical Controlled Machines and CNC Tube Bender is one of those machines that has made that section. However, a CNC Tube Bender is rarely talked about in the world of Computer Numerical Control Machines, there are a certain group of people that are interested in these types of Computer Numerical Controlled machines. Since Ivan’s goal is to create a Computer Numerical Control website with all of the information needed that one would want to know about CNC, a CNC Tube Bender page was a must. You can visit this page at: TUBE BENDER to find out much more information on CNC Tube Bending. Computer Numerically Controlled Tube Bending Machines aren’t your average CNC Machine.

Computer Numerically Controlled Tube Bending Machines aren’t your average CNC Machine. Similar to Computer Numerically Controlled Foam Cutters, CNC Tube Benders have their own niche group of people that would be interested in them. One of the groups of people that are normally interested in CNC Tube Benders are guys who are working in muffler shops. These groups of people usually have a need for a Computer Numerically Controlled Tube Bender in order to bend very specific exhaust pipes from a stock of straight exhaust pipes. You can read more about these uses on Ivan’s Tube Bender website at: CNC Tube Bender

Ivan has plenty more information on Tube Bending with CNC on his webpage that he had dedicated to CNC Tube Benders everywhere. Visit it at: CNC Tube Bender .

Tube Bender Helps BAE Systems Build Sub

A Unison tube bending machine is helping BAE Systems to fabricate complex part shapes required to build the UK’s Astute Class nuclear-powered submarines. The all-electric tube bender features both right- and left-handed bending capability. This allows long and complicated tubular part shapes to be produced very rapidly and in a single stage. For BAE Systems this is a critical advantage, as the boat-building process must run to plan, and many parts are produced to demand to satisfy the production schedule.

In some cases, such as when fabricating tubular shapes of several metres in length, the machine also allows BAE Systems to make parts from a single length of tubing, avoiding any need to join tube sections. In addition to production speed advantages, this capability also eliminates time-consuming and expensive X-ray and crack-detection testing stages that would otherwise be required to verify the integrity of welded joints for this high-reliability equipment.

In order to fit in all of the submarine’s equipment, and maximise the free space available, small-bore piping and tubing services such as hydraulic lines are often shaped to fit into the free spaces adjacent to panels and bulkheads. Consequently, tubular parts are often fabricated in batch sizes of just one. The Unison tube bender is making it quicker to produce components, as programs are simply loaded from the design database, and bends are then made precisely by servomotor movement axes with closed-loop control mechanisms.

No manual intervention or adjustments of any kind are required. If the tooling is already on the machine, the setup operation is achieved in around 15 minutes. This is at least twice as fast as the setup process for the company’s hydraulic bending machines. Power consumption reduction is another advantage of the Unison bender. As there are no hydraulic pumps continuously running, significant electrical current is only drawn when the machine is making a bend, so energy consumption is reduced substantially.

Another useful aspect of the machine is its incorporation of software-based facilities that can be used for fault diagnosis. These include a camera that can be used to capture images or video of any operational problems.

In combination with a software ‘black box’ which automatically stores the last 500 instructions entered by the operator, along with details of machinery positions from the servo motor sensors, Unison have detailed information to provide remote maintenance advice. To save space, the new tube bender incorporates on-machine guard panels. This feature will also simplify moving the machine if required, for any reorganisation of the shipyard for subsequent construction projects.
