Instead of taking a series of short stepdowns with deep engagement, which is the standard procedure for con- ventional machining, Dynamic Motion technology uses the full length of the fl ute with tiny stepovers to cut effi ciently
while providing a high-quality surface fi nish. Roughing and fi nishing are accomplished with the same tool. The tools also last longer because wear is spread over the entire length of the fl ute.
VERSATILE CHUCKS FOR
UNPREDICTABLE JOBS The only chuck on the market that can switch between self-centering and equalizing modes, our SJL High Precision 2+2+2 Chuck handles anything from rough castings to perfectly machined diameters. Ideal for thin-walled and out-of-round condition parts, the SJL’s six jaws equalize in pairs, effortlessly clamping on to workpieces with equally distributed gripping force while maintaining repeatability to within 0.004".
At SMW Autoblok, we have dozens of ways for you to hold workpieces bet- ter, stronger and smarter. Call or visit our website to learn more.

“We run these Inconel parts just about as fast as we can. In one case, a part we used to run on our three- axis mill used to take us about three hours. On the same equipment, using Dynamic Motion technology, we have reduced the job down to 30 minutes,” Adair said. “Making these parts the old way used to burn up the tool for every part made. Today, with using Dynamic Motion, we can make three or four of the same parts on the same machine before we have to change a tool.” The ability to make more compli- cated parts on a fast turnaround basis has led its energy industry custom- ers to award even more business to Shamrock Precision. In response, the company has added an additional Integrex machining center. Now, Adair has an even higher volume of program- ming work in front of him. He said he is not concerned because the material- aware intelligence embedded in the Dynamic Motion toolpaths makes many of the decisions that programmers would have to make and performs them better. Adair no longer operates the machines. Three employees have been hired to operate the fi ve-axis equipment. Even though the company has doubled in size in the past fi ve years, Adair is keeping up with the cur- rent programming volume and he has enough time available to provide Mas- tercam training to the operators so that they will be able to step in and perform as growth continues.
