Lock Nuts

A nut is fastener with a threaded hole. They are used with bolts to fasten objects together. There are various types of nuts, including the standard kinds one would typically find in a hardware store, and particular nuts designed for specific needs. Machinery and engines also rely on nuts and bolts to secure components. Nuts typically loosen over time and all the more quicker when they’re used on certain machines, as vibrations accelerate the process. And, a loose nut can cause problems in buildings and machinery.

Lock nuts offer a solution. As their name suggests, lock nuts resist loosening. There are various kinds. Which to use depends upon the particular project. Some of those kinds include:

o Nylon Lock Nut. Nylon Lock Nut have a nylon insert that wraps around the threads and locks the nut in place. As a result, the vibrations don’t affect the nut.

o Center Lock Nut. Center Lock Nuts have a distorted thread section that keeps it from loosening.

o Flange Lock Nut. Flange Lock Nuts utilize a washer-like base to allocate force over a larger area and keep the lock tight. The base may be serrated to further keep the nut from rotating. They’re mostly used where a single fastener is needed and to join wood and plastic.

o Metal Insert Lock Nut. Like Center Lock Nut, Metal Insert Lock Nuts distorting the nut threads, which then “bites” into the mating part of the bolt when tightened.

o Aluminum Nylon Lock Nuts. Nylon Lock Nuts that come in a coated aluminum and in various colors.

With regard to reusing lock nuts, Internet research found sites that said, yes, you could reuse them, and sites that said, no, you can never reuse them. Proceed with caution.

CNC Machines

Computer Numerical Control Machines or CNC Machines refers to computer operated equipment. Basically, the operator inputs programs onto the computer and then the machine follows the program. The programs can then be reused, edited or deleted.

At first, CNC Machines were costly and only lucrative companies could afford them, but now, they are much more affordable and even a handy hobbyist could build one to use at home.

Examples of CNC Machines include:

o CNC Milling Machines: These use rotating cylinder-shaped cutting tools to both drill and cut. It is the most common CNC Machine.

o CNC Machine Lathes: A standard lathe is a machine that rotates on an axis to shape and form various materials. A CNC Machine Lathe allows the operator to do the same and/or more complex work in less time and with less effort.

o Plasma Cutters: Plasma cutting torches are normally used to cut metals. Hand-held torches gouge and remove faulty welds. Hand held torches can and have been used in the past to cut small shapes, but achieving accuracy wasn’t easy. A CNC Plasma Cutter, however,can make precise cuts.

o CNC Router. This machine cuts plastic, wood, and sheet metal on an X, Y and Z axis (essentially relating to three-dimensional items) and is usually used for preparing larger projects.

These are just a few examples of CNC Machines. There are others.

Here are a few examples of the industries that use CNC Machines:

o Food Processing Companies

o Chemical Processing Companies

o Pharmaceutical Businesses

o Railroad Companies

o Aircraft Manufacturers

o Automobile Manufacturers

o Metal Removers and Fabricators

o Electrical Discharge Machineries

Of course, technology plays a significant role in the development of CNC Machines. And, as technology advances, so will CNC Machines’ potential. That is, as long as the machines’ parts remain superior. Truth is, no matter how sophisticated the computer or brilliant the operator, inferior elements will always sabotage the machine.
