CNC Development Ltd. (”CNC” or the “Company”) (OTCBB: CDLVE) (OTCBB: CDLKE) (OTCBB: CDLWE) (fka InterAmerican Acquisition Group Inc.) announced today that all shareholders of Sing Kung Ltd. who were not parties to the stock purchase agreement have subscribed to the exchange offer for CNC shares. As a result, CNC owns 100% of the equity of Sing Kung.

Changes to Board of Directors

Following CNC’s acceptance of the shares tendered in the exchange offer, a requisite majority of CNC Preferred shareholders acted by written resolution to appoint two new members to CNC’s board of directors:

Steven Klein. Mr. Klein is a Partner with Apple Core Holdings, a privately held investment company. Mr. Klein also holds the position of Chief Executive Officer for Apple Core Hotels, a chain of hotels in mid-town Manhattan controlled by Apple Core Holdings. Mr. Klein also serves on the boards of directors of other Apple Core Holdings investments and currently holds two such directorships with Jumpnode Systems, LLC and Meaningful Machines IP, LLC. He is the producer of the movie version of the Broadway play, Passing Strange. Prior to joining Apple Core Holdings Mr. Klein was employed as an attorney practicing tax law at Skadden, Arps, Meagher and Flom LLP. Mr. Klein holds a J.D. from Boston University and a Masters degree in tax law from New York University.

David Miller. Mr. Miller is a Partner with Apple Core Holdings, a privately held investment company. Mr. Miller also holds the position of Corporate Counsel and Chief Financial Officer for Apple Core Hotels. Mr. Miller also serves on the boards of directors of other Apple Core Holdings investments and currently holds two such directorships with Jumpnode Systems, LLC and Meaningful Machines IP, LLC. Prior to joining Apple Core, Mr. Miller was employed as an attorney practicing corporate and transactional law at Williams, Caliri, Miller and Otley LLP, a firm specializing in representing financial services clients.

New Compact Class CNCs

cnc,cnc machines,cnc milling machines, cnc lathe,used cnc machines November 26th, 2009 by cnc machines cnc manufacturers Industries,cnc machine tools,cnc programming,cnc controller admin

Designed to address the needs of complex turning and milling machines for job shops, the Sinumerik 828D combines CNC, PLC, operator panel and axis control for six CNC measurement circuits in a single robust operator panel. Offering intelligent kinematic transformations, an efficient tool management system and 80-bit floating point nano precision, the new control provides performance features previously reserved for the premium CNC control segment.

“The 828D is a new control platform focused on compact class CNC machines, says Jon Cruthers, manager of business development for Siemens. It is used in milling applications up to six axes, and turning applications up to eight axes while also supporting live tooling.”

Cruthers says that to bring advanced features to this compact class machine tool, they have added support for multiple CNC programming methodologies. Along with traditional G Code and ISO code programming, the unit also supports the more intuitive, graphical style programming with Siemens’ ShopMill or ShopTurn graphical workstep programming systems. Any of the programming options can be used interchangeably on a common HMI.

“It gives the user flexibility to program in a format they are used to programming or in a new way which can provide more simplicity and ease of use,” he says.

One capability is Advanced Surface which allows users to do advanced mold and die applications on a simple three-axis milling machine. Advanced Surface provides better surface quality, higher machining speeds and optimizes the drives and control of the tool to achieve an advanced surface finish easily on a mid-range machine.

In addition, 80-bit floating point nano precision provides highly accurate position and speed control, features typically reserved for the higher end CNCs to achieve that level of accuracy.

CNC simulations are also provided, so the user can run a part program in simulation mode on the CNC to get a full 3-D view. Users can zoom in on the part, and it allows the operator to estimate machining time prior to running the part.

One capability that Cruthers says is of great interest is called Animated Elements which creates short movie-like sequences instead of static bitmaps to show what a particular operation, whether it’s a drilling operation or type of motion path, will look like. The movie sequence helps the user see what they have programmed prior to the actual machining of the part.

Another unique feature is Easy Message, which provides the capability to send simple text messages through a GSM modem supplied by Siemens and to any number of users on machine states, tool data, alarms and production states. The feature, for example, enables an operator or job shop manager to set-up a part to run, and when the part is complete, receive a pre-defined text message.

“Many of these features are unique to the 828D,” says Cruthers. “We see that many job shops are moving up into more complex five-axis style machining and are starting to take on more complex machining tasks. This allows an operator that has been working on a very simple three-axis machine to easily move into more complex machining tasks without having to learn a whole new way of machining parts.”

The Sinumerik 828D from Siemens reflects a move to more advanced software features on compact class CNCs.The Sinumerik 828D from Siemens reflects a move to more advanced software features on compact class CNCs.

cnc,cnc machines,cnc milling machines, cnc lathe,used cnc machines October 23rd, 2009 by cnc machines cnc manufacturers Industries,cnc machine tools,cnc programming,cnc controller admin

MasterControls Inc (MCI) has announced the use of NUM CNC’s circuit boards to retrofit a Gleason 782 gear hobber and continue precision engineering duties long after the original controls became impractical and unreliable. NUM CNC helps restore Gleason gear hobber

Jeff Petry, the president of MCI, explained that the organisation selected NUM breakout boards in the new sub-panel to make it easy to restore the machine at a fraction of the cost of replacing the CNC machine tool, which creates a large customer base for the organisation.

He said: “In fact, much to our customer’s satisfaction, we were able to remove all the obsolete control hardware and complete the wiring stages of the installation - including the sub-panel, CNC control, new operator’s panel and the magnetic cabinet - in just over three days.”

Mr Petry added that the overall result was very clean, making it much easier for future maintenance as well.

Earlier this month, NUMcut displayed its toolhead designs at the EMO show in Milan, which promoted the latest advancements in CNC lathes, milling machines and turning centres.

Ward CNC Continues To Invest In Its Future – And That Of Its Customers

cnc,cnc machines,cnc milling machines, cnc lathe,used cnc machines April 5th, 2009 by cnc machines cnc manufacturers Industries,cnc machine tools,cnc programming,cnc controller admin

The fact that for MACH 2010 Ward CNC has booked its largest ever stand – a massive 500 m2 – is the latest indication from the Sheffield-based machine tool specialist that, despite what the national media tells us, it is not doom and gloom throughout every manufacturing sector.

Its commitment to next year’s machine tool show is based on a strong order book, an enhanced product range (the recent announcement of its exclusive UK and Ireland distributorship for Hyundai-Kia), expanding sales and service teams, as well as continual investment in its enterprise-wide IT systems.

According to managing director, Simon Whitworth: “Yes, employment has breached two million and, yes, the automotive sector and its supply chain, for example, is struggling. But there is still plenty of good news throughout manufacturing – our order book is proof of that!

“It is clear that Great Britain Ltd. is populated by an army of skilled machinists, who mostly have adopted modern machining technologies and established a niche in complex, small batch machining that is world class in terms of consistent quality and cost-effectiveness for customers in, for instance, the aerospace, medical, motor sport and oil and gas sectors.

“The pressures are relentless on the manufacturing sector – material prices, business rates and health & safety (no win, no fee compensation claims have surely affected us all?).”

Firmly believing that, despite the [worst] efforts of the bankers, companies that are good at what they do will survive, and will continue to prosper, he adds:

“Companies that continually invest in the best equipment they can afford to enable them to produce high-quality parts at the right price are the ones with long-term aspirations – they always have been.

“That’s why Ward CNC continually invests in its future, and in the future of our customers. Our commitment to next year’s MACH is just one part of that. Besides, we’ll need every inch of that expansive stand to adequately display a decent representation of the wide range of machines we offer!”

About Ward CNC
Ward CNC (T.W.Ward CNC Machinery Ltd.), the Ward Plant and Machinery Group, boasts 100 years of tradition, experience and reputation in the supply of new CNC machine tools, high-quality used machine tools, remanufactured and retrofitted CNC machine tools, as well as machine servicing and laser calibration services.

Discovering CNC For Design & Prototyping

cnc,cnc machines,cnc milling machines, cnc lathe,used cnc machines March 21st, 2009 by cnc machines cnc manufacturers Industries,cnc machine tools,cnc programming,cnc controller admin

The machine tool seems to have taken backseat these days in the world of prototyping, research, and product development.
The latest solutions in rapid prototyping (RP) certainly have their place - delivering a quick facsimile can really help to sell a design and get marketing people motivated.

The machine tool seems to have taken backseat these days in the world of prototyping, research, and product development. The latest solutions in rapid prototyping (RP) certainly have their place - delivering a quick facsimile can really help to sell a design and get marketing people motivated. 

Tormach’s PCNC 1100 takes CNC out of the machine shop and gives designers and engineers the ability to prototype with real world materials and tolerances.

However, after the initial excitement wears off, the problem of product engineering remains. Real product testing requires real products. Not aesthetically correct presentation models, but objects made of production materials built to manufacturing tolerances; not the limited materials and tolerances of the RP technology at hand.

Until recently there has been a tremendous gap between the desktop tools of the engineering office and the behemoth CNC tools of a production machine shop. The size, cost and complexity of big CNC machinery generate a cash flow demand that can only be fed by a constant workload.

To make economic sense, the machines need to be in a production environment. They’re simply not suitable for R&D.

What design organizations need is a tool they can afford to keep at-the-ready which is smaller and easy to use, but can also deliver prototype parts that are identical to the future production parts.

The solution is a concept called Personal CNC and is the design philosophy of Tormach’s PCNC 1100 mill. Dimensional accuracy is essential in prototyping. With a rigid cast iron frame, precision ground ballscrews and a 5,000 RPM spindle, the PCNC 1100 can deliver the same accuracy you expect from a production machine.

Typical factory precision is an inherent feature of Personal CNC but a characteristic that continues to challenge RP technologies, even though their price tags can be much higher.

Whether parts are aluminum, plastic, steel, titanium or even composite materials, the days or weeks waiting for outsourced parts can be reduced to a few hours with a personal in house. Your team is more nimble and your project development will be quicker.

The personal CNC is a machine tool right-sized for engineering development. At 1,500 lbs, this is no desktop router, but it’s still easy to move with a pallet jack. It’s simple to operate and easy to maintain because it isn’t burdened with typical factory features like an automatic tool changer. There’s no need for three-phase power or compressed air, and you don’t need a rigger to install the machine.

Versatility is a key. When combined with a simple CAM program, the CNC can perform as an Subtractive Rapid Prototype (SRP) system to make quick plastic models. Combined with a conventional CAM program it can cut tool steel for making production molds. The functionality of a PCNC 1100 can be extended with accessories like a fourth axis, duality lathe, and even a digitizing probe for reverse engineering. Whether projects are simple or complex, a personal CNC brings capability and agility to product design teams, breaking development barriers without breaking department budgets.

CNC simulation

cnc,cnc machines,cnc milling machines, cnc lathe,used cnc machines January 17th, 2009 by cnc machines cnc manufacturers Industries,cnc machine tools,cnc programming,cnc controller admin

Vericut 6.2 CNC machine simulation and optimization software features enhancements that increase the ability of manufacturing engineers to develop, analyze, inspect, and document the CNC programming and machining process, according to the manufacturer. It is CNC machine simulation, verification, and optimization software that lets users eliminate manually proving-out NC programs. The program also optimizes NC programs, and simulates all types of CNC machine tools, including those from leading manufacturers such as Mazak, Makino, Matsuura, Hermle, DMG, DIXI, Mori Seiki, and Chiron. The software runs standalone, but can also be integrated with leading CAM systems such as Catia V5, Unigraphics, Pro/E, MasterCAM, EdgeCAM, and GibbsCAM. The “NCProgram Preview” offers an option to process an NC program without simulating material being removed. This “quick check” uses much less memory. When in preview mode, the software displays a tool trace of the NC program over the design model. The Preview checks for collisions, gouges, minimum excess, and instances where axis limits are exceeded. CGTech, Booth D-3035
