CNC machining center is widely used in machined the components with complex shape, high precision and Multi-process machining such as: 1. Case Accessories (Enclosure Machining) The case accessories normally has many Cavities inside and they are wildly used in Automobile industry and aviation industry. Such as automobile engine cylinder, Gearbox, Machine tool main Axle Box, Diesel engine cylinder, Gear pump Shell, etc. CNC machining center can complete 60-95% processing of general machine. With its characteristics of high processing efficiency and automatic tool changing, as long as we draw up the control plan, produce the craft process, proper use of special fixtures and cutters, it easy to produce case accessories.
2.Parts With Complex Curved Surface Parts with complex surfaces are widely used in aviation, aerospace and transportation fields.Such as the cam, integral impeller of aero-engine, propeller, die cavity, etc. It is difficult to achieve the predetermined precision and difficult to detect just by using the common machine tool or precision casting when machining these parts with complex surface contour. However, these complex parts can be processed using a multi-axis linkage machining center, combined with automatic programming techniques and special cutting tools. 3.Irregular Shape Parts Irregular shape parts most need point, line, surface multi-station mixed machining.(such as supports, bases).CNC machining center Show its superiority to machining those complex parts. 4. Plate And Coat Parts These parts in general has keyway and radial hole, End-face distributed with holes or curved surface. Such as axle sleeve with flange, motor covers .vertical machining centre is a good choice.
5. Prototype-sample For New Products CNC machining centers process a wide range of adaptability and flexibility. Input new programming to realize machining. Sometime process by modifying program segment or special instruction. Use the scale function command to process parts of the same shape and different sizes. It provides a lot of convenience for single piece, small batch and multi-variety production and Shortened production cycle.
Wales and Ospreys legend Alun Wyn Jones will play for the Barbarians and Swansea in their friendly clash at St Helen’s on Wednesday.
The 37-year-old, who recently announced his retirement from international rugby, turned out for the Barbarians against the World XV over the weekend.
Jones attempted goal-kicking in the Twickenham fixture and now looks set for another interesting 80 minutes to celebrate Swansea’s 150th anniversary.
Barbarians head coach John Mulvihill revealed that the most capped player in international rugby is set to play a half for both the Baa-baas and Swansea.
Jones to play for both teams
“You’ll probably see him in an All Whites jersey in the second half,” he told BBC Sport, with the Ospreys later confirming the rumours to be true on Twitter.
“He might lead the Swansea team out at half-time.
“I was still taken aback that he wanted to play. He said ‘it’s in my parish and I want to play against my team’.”
Despite winning 158 caps for Wales and 12 for the British & Irish Lions, Sunday’s meeting against the World XV was Jones’ first Barbarians appearance.
And while the second-row’s future with Wales was ended in shock fashion last week, Mulvihill is confident Jones will feature for the Ospreys next season.
“I don’t think it’s going to be his sign-off, he’s got a few miles to go yet,” he said.
“He’s done everything in the game for Wales and the British and Irish Lions, 17 years as a professional Test player. He’s massive, people around the world know who Al is.”
Lloyd Williams signs for Ealing
In other news from Wales, international scrum-half Lloyd Williams has found a new club for next season after joining English outfit Ealing Trailfinders.
Williams was recently released by United Rugby Championship team Cardiff and the 33-year-old has been snapped up by the side from the Championship.
“I’m looking forward to next season, I’m moving to Ealing Trailfinders,” he told BBC Sport, with Williams also playing for the Baa-Baas on Wednesday.
“I’m excited for the move, it’s something different for me. It’ll be different, I’ve been at Cardiff for a long time.
RC Strasbourg achieved the Ligue 2 title this season with only the league’s 11th best defence.
The central defensive partnership of Kader Mangane (34) and Felipe Saad (33) is stale and the club is looking to revolutionise this sector of the team in order to prepare for Ligue 1.
The latter, Brazilian defender’s contract expires next month and he has been offered a staff position. Mangane’s deal also end in a few weeks time and Strasbourg have yet to decide whether or not to offer the player a new contract.
In this sector, Racing already have Ernest Seka (29) and Yoann Salmier (24), but they are looking to sign at least another two centre-backs of Ligue 1 standard, according to L’Équipe.
Strasbourg have cast their eye on SC Bastia defender Alexander Djiku. The 22-year-old is under contract with the Corsicans until 2019, and a deal for him will be complicated because of interest from several English clubs.
Reims defender Julian Jeanvier has also been approached.
In terms of full-backs, on the left-side, 23-year-old Abdallah N’Dour is seen as a good prospect, but he will not be back until September earliest, currently suffering from a right leg injury. On the contrary, Laurent Dos Santos (24) has been told he can leave the club this summer.
In terms of right-backs, Strasbourg have placed Sochaux’s Mickaël Alphonse (27) and Mathieu Deplagne of Montpellier (25) on their shortlist.
A new goalkeeper is also on their list of priorities as they intend to rid of Landry Bonnefoi. Paul Nardi (AS Monaco) and Zachary Boucher (Auxerre) are amongst their targets.
When using CNC for prototyping, CNC machining methods can be used to program and analyze 3D data. Qualified samples can be made directly using materials such as ABS, PMMA and nylon. CNC prototypes can quickly produce samples with ideal surface quality, especially for large products. After surface spraying, screen printing, and electroplating, prototypes made using CNC prototypes are more attractive than prototypes made with molds. CNC prototypes will become the mainstream of rapid prototyping.
CNC prototype plastic material: ABS (imported, domestic, black, flame retardant), polyoxymethylene (POM), PMMA (acrylic), PA (nylon), PC, PP and bakelite. Metal materials: aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, zinc alloy, copper, etc.
Advantages of CNC prototyping: The advantages of CNC prototypes include high machining speed, low cost and high machining accuracy. A wide selection of materials ensures consistency in materials used for prototyping and mass production. Prototypes made with CNC are closer to real molds and have higher surface quality. After grinding, polishing, sandblasting, painting, screen printing, UV and electroplating, the prototypes and molds made using CNC are completely comparable or even better.
LeBron James began the final game of his 20th NBA season with the highest-scoring postseason half of his matchless NBA career.
He ended the night by questioning how much longer he plans to chase history after his Los Angeles Lakers were swept out of the Western Conference finals.
James set a personal record with 31 points in the first half of Game 4 on Monday night, but he missed two potential tying shots in the final minute as the Denver Nuggets ended the Lakers’ season with a 113-111 victory.
The 38-year-old James finished with 40 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists and immense frustration after Los Angeles’ remarkable late-season surge ended with four consecutive defeats. Although the top scorer in NBA history spoke about himself as part of the Lakers next season, James also said he hasn’t made up his mind.
“We’ll see what happens going forward,” James said in the final answer of his postgame news conference. “I don’t know. I don’t know. I’ve got a lot to think about, to be honest. Just for me personally going forward with the game of basketball, I’ve got a lot to think about.”
James is under contract for $46.9 million next season with the Lakers, but he is in charge of his future after surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s career scoring record earlier this year. He hasn’t previously suggested much personal conflict about finishing his contract alongside Anthony Davis, and his play hasn’t significantly declined after two decades in the NBA — although his health has grown less sturdy, particularly in his balky feet and ankles.
“It’s all about availability for me and keeping my mind sharp, and things of that nature,” James said. “Being present on the floor, being present in the locker room and bus rides and plane rides, things of that nature. It’s challenging, for sure. It was a very challenging season for me, for our ballclub, and obviously we know whatever went on early on (in the Lakers’ 2-10 start to the season). It was cool, a pretty cool ride.”

James missed a month of the regular season with a foot injury down the stretch, but he returned with a series of stellar playoff performances while the Lakers knocked off second-seeded Memphis and eliminated defending champion Golden State. That didn’t matter much to James, whose frustration broke through at several points after Game 4.
“I don’t like to say it’s a successful year, because I don’t play for anything besides winning championships at this point in my career,” James said. “You know, I don’t get a kick out of making a conference (finals) appearance. I’ve done it a lot, and it’s not fun to me to not be able to be a part of getting to the (NBA) Finals.”
In his NBA-record 282nd career playoff game, James dropped 21 points in a dynamic first quarter in Game 4. He added 10 more in the second while playing nearly the entire half of a do-or-die game against the top-seeded Nuggets.

But James had only nine points on 4-of-12 shooting in the second half, and he missed two chances to score in the final minute. He took a strange fallaway jumper that missed badly with 26 seconds left, and his final drive to the hoop was thwarted by Denver’s Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon at the buzzer.
But the first half was vintage LeBron: He made 11 of his 13 shots and hit four 3-pointers without a miss in the highest-scoring playoff half of his career, which began in 2003 and has included four NBA championships. James added four rebounds and four assists, and he also got a technical foul after a physical exchange with Gordon when the two got locked up on the Lakers’ end of the court.
James had struggled from distance previously in the series, going 3 for 19 in the first three games. He fixed his shot in Game 4 — and he even got credit for a 3-pointer in the first quarter when his lob pass to Rui Hachimura accidentally went in the basket.
James already had the highest scoring average in NBA history in elimination games (33.5 points per game) among all players with at least 10 such appearances.
After failing to win a title this year, James is clearly thinking about whether he wants to do it all again. One major obstacle to any retirement thoughts is his long-stated desire to play an NBA season alongside his son, Bronny, who will be a freshman at USC this fall and couldn’t join the league until the fall of 2024 at the earliest.

“I guess I’ll reflect on my career when I’m done, but I don’t know,” James said when asked to assess his 20th season. “The only thing I concern myself with is being available to my teammates, and I don’t like the fact that I didn’t play as many games as I would have liked because of injury. That’s the only thing I care about, is being available to my teammates.”
Manchester United forward Antony was taken off on a stretcher after sustaining an injury during the first half of his team’s Premier League game against Chelsea on Thursday.
The Brazil international looked in distress as he left the field at Old Trafford in the 29th minute, raising concerns over his availability for the FA Cup final against Manchester City on June 3.
“I can tell you that it’s serious but we have to wait minimum 24 hours and then we know probably more about the status of his injury,” United manager Erik ten Hag said.
Antony — a $95 million signing from Ajax last summer — held his face as he was carried off, and Ten Hag consoled him with a pat on the stomach before he was taken to the locker rooms.

An ill-tempered derby between Jordanian rivals Al-Wehdat and Al-Faisaly as part of a four-team friendly tournament held in the Palestinian territories ended on Monday with clashes between players and fans rioting, causing the game to be suspended.
The opening match of the “Jerusalem and Al-Karama friendly tournament” in the Faisal Al-Husseini stadium in the Israeli-occupied West Bank was level at 1-1 going into stoppage time before a mass brawl broke out after a foul by an Al-Faisaly player.
Fans threw bottles onto the pitch and some entered the field of play, causing the match to be ended early.
Al-Faisaly’s Twitter account said “our team left the stadium to go to our residence in preparation for departure… to Amman”.
Two Palestinians clubs, Hilal Al-Quds and Jabal Al-Mukaber, were due to play later on Tuesday, while the final match is scheduled for Friday.

Barbarians head coach Eddie Jones joked that Alun Wyn Jones wouldn’t be coming out of retirement to be a goal kicker after two missed shots at goal against the World XV.
The exhibition at Twickenham on Sunday lived up to its billing, with the two sides producing a thoroughly enjoyable game with 14 tries scored as the Baa-baas ran out 48-42 victors.
The former Wales captain fully embraced the occasion, producing some stunning offloads in the match, and looked to make a few breaks on the wing.
He assisted the Barbarians’ fourth try sending locking partner Stephan Lewies over for the score but was unable to get on the scoresheet himself.
The 37-year-old’s first shot at goal was in the 70th minute following Sam Johnson’s score.
Johnson had scored on the left-hand side of the pitch, setting up what would have been a fairly simple conversion for an international placekicker.
However, Jones showed that kicking is definitely not one of his strong points despite having a stacked skillset. He shanked the kick wide to the right.
He got a second bite of the cherry after former All Blacks centre Seta Tamnivalu crashed over the whitewash from a tap and go five metres out.
In a similar position, Jones failed again after his teammates and the Twickenham crowd hyped him up with the Viking Thunder Clap.

Still a special send-off at Twickenham 👏

After the match, Jones was unwilling to confirm if he has retired from professional rugby, stating that he is just focusing on recovering in time to play for Swansea against the Barbarians.
Swansea takes on the Baa-baas for the first time in almost 30 years to mark the end of their 150th season.
Jones started his playing career at the club back in 2004.
