5 Ways To Reduce The Cost Of Machining Unleaded Brass
If you are engaged in machining brass parts that will be used to deliver potable water, now you have to machine these parts from no-lead brass. It is expected that in the near future lead will no longer be used in any ferrous or non-ferrous alloys. CNC machine shops face new challenges in switching to unleaded material and have to plan for low cost machining of unleaded brass.

ACM monitors the current cutting conditions in real-time and automatically adjusts the feed rate to the optimal level. When overload is detected, ACM reduces the feed and triggers an alarm to stop the machine. The real-time approach increases productivity, as well as the life of machines and tools and ensures a safer production process.
Heard above the adoptive feed control through a presentation by CNH team on 15 October 2020 in CII event on Digitalization, Robotics and Automation.
