An automatic milling machine mills a gasket. The automatic milling machine controls the position of a cutter head relative a table. The automatic milling machine rotates the gasket with a motor. Parameters of the motor are monitored to determine the amount of rotation of the gasket.

Provided is a turning and milling system, comprising: a work platform comprising a first drive mechanism; a rotating platform, said first drive driving said rotating platform to rotate on the said work platform and drive a workpiece to rotate about a vertical axis; a blade assembly comprising a blade and a second drive mechanism connected to the blade; said second drive mechanism drives the blade to move in the horizontal direction, changing the machining radius of the blade.

An improved method of machines grooves forming Pearson notches in a pattern on hollow shell casings for munitions for at least one of increased functionality and/or performance. Rather than running a broach through a hollow casing, a CNC lathe with a multi-axis tool with cutting implement can precisely locate and form grooves along either an interior or an exterior surface of a hollow shell casing.

Disclosed is a wheel blank positioning lip correction device, comprising a frame, a gear rack structure, a guide rail I, a clamping system support plate, a servo motor I, a left slide plate, a clamping cylinder, a rotating shaft, rotating wheels, an end mill, guide posts, a servo motor II, an inner slide block, a guide rail II, a feeding slide plate, a linear motor II, a linear motor I, a servo motor III, a shaft, a grinding wheel, an outer slide block, a guide rail III, a linear motor III, a lifting table, a right slide plate, a lifting guide rail, a motor support plate and a lifting linear motor.

Disclosures include a method for manufacturing a ball member usable in a flow control valve. The method comprises connecting a workpiece to a rotating apparatus along an axis of rotation of the workpiece, simultaneously rotating the workpiece about the axis of rotation and moving a rotating cutting tool toward the axis of rotation along a second axis to form a first curved surface having a progressively shorter radius with respect to the axis of rotation, wherein the second axis is generally oriented perpendicular to the axis of rotation, and cutting a bore through the workpiece, wherein one end of the bore extends through the first surface and the other end of the bore extends through the second surface.

A system and method for physically destroying the data storage portion of electronic media electronic storage devices such as hard disk drives, solid state drives and hybrid hard drives that comprises a rotatable milling cutter and a cradle for locating the media electronic storage device in a positioned to engage the milling cutter. An integrated computer is included containing a data base of various parameters of different types of hard drives available. A scanning system determines information about the type of media electronic storage device being introduced in the system to be destroyed and conveys the such information to the computer whereby the data base may be used to provide information to properly locate the cradle and milling cutter to destroy the data storage portion and for printing out a certificate of destruction specifically identifying the hard drive that has had it data destroyed. A slug cutter is provided to retrieve slugs containing the rare earth metal after the data storage portion is destroyed.
