Measurement is an essential part of manufacturing, used to control processes and verify products. However, measurement time is often viewed as non-productive, causing unwanted bottlenecks and putting pressure on manufacturers’ operating margins. Renishaw’s 5-axis measurement product range for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) claims to be one of the biggest step-changes in measurement capability ever introduced in industrial metrology and goes a long way to overcoming these challenges. The need to retain accuracy has historically compromised the ultimate speed of the measuring process due to the characteristics of a CMM’s structure. The non linear motion of a Cartesian CMM induces accelerations…
“The Budget has interesting schemes towards agriculture and rural development” The budget has introduced some interesting schemes towards agriculture and rural development. They continue to support investments in infrastructure, which will support our portable compressor range. Many of our suppliers will benefit from the MSME tax reduction and perhaps the tax reduction will encourage capital expenditure, which could in turn support our industrial compressor range. Overall, while there are no explicit manufacturing boosters, we hope that the momentum from the last quarter will sustain through 2018. [gap height=”10″] “No steps to boost exports” Overall budget is very rural focussed and…

NUM has launched a major new release of its renowned NUMROTO tool grinding software. Offering numerous additional features and enhancements, Version 4.0 of the software is designed to increase the productivity of precision machine tools without the need for additional hardware. The ball nose and corner radius tools in NUMROTO now allow programming of a helix step on end mills. For the first time, it is now possible to program different helix angles for the end of the radius and the beginning of the cylindrical parts. NUMROTO Draw, the software’s drawing and documentation tool, automatically processes the geometry data used…
Machine Tool Industry has undergone major developments in providing enhanced service life to spindles, arbors, bearings, etc. Ceramic Coatings by Plasma Spray have been in use in many industries since 1960. Since last decade, this process and ceramic coatings are being used to provide surfaces to seal areas of spindles, contact faces of arbors and electrical and heat insulation to bearings. Apart from OEM level coatings, many user industries are using ceramic coating for refurbishing of spindles and other machine tool parts. Typical Spray Materials used with Plasma Spray Metals and its alloys: Steels, Ni alloys, Co alloys, Moy, bronze,…

In the quest to reduce cost of manufacturing, the industry began to automate a lot of operations and one such operation is the movement of material. Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) became the unanimous answer for manufacturers to transport materials seamlessly. AGVs are designed for performing operations with quick turnaround time, repeatability and accuracy. An AGV is a portable device that follows a specified path using specific markers using vision system/ laser tracking / magnetic tracking or advanced navigation systems. Today, they are widely used in the industry for: Repetitive movement of materials over a distance Regular delivery of stable loads…

Since 1999, Accusharp is in the activity of manufacturing metal cutting ‘Round Tools’ like Carbide and H.S.S. drills, end-mills, reamers, cutters, burrs, form tools, step drills, etc. As a matter of fact, it is difficult to drill a straight and accurate dimensional hole of a depth more than about five times the diameter using a standard twist drill. However, using a ‘Gundrill’ one can make a ‘Deep’ hole of much longer depth; even 200 times the drill diameter. Not only it drills 200 times deep, but also with the precision tolerance of hole size, roundness, straightness, concentricity and surface finish…
