The Precision Ball Screw Spline contains Ball Screw grooves and Ball Spline grooves that cross each other on a single shaft. The Precision Ball Screw Spline nut has a special designed support bearing directly set up on the outer ring of the nuts. The Precision Ball Screw Spline is capable of performing three modes of motion ( rotational, linear and spiral ) with a single shaft by rotating or stopping the spline nut. FeaturesHigh Positioning AccuracyThe Ball Spline groove preload is designed Gothic arch. By applied preload, the backlash in the rotational direction is eliminated therefore having higher positioning accuracy.Lightweight…
A Critical Opportunity for IndiaCurrently, India’s manufacturing sector contributes approximately 17% to the GDP, falling short of the long-term goal of 25%. Reaching this target is crucial for India to establish itself as a global leader in manufacturing. The advancements in 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, present a significant opportunity to expedite this progress. The statistics are compelling: India’s 3D printing market, estimated to be worth around USD 707 million (₹5,870 crore) in 2024, is expected to grow at an annual rate of over 21%, reaching USD 4.3 billion (₹35,700 crore) by 2033. This rapid expansion indicates increasing…
As the innovation leader in arc welding, Fronius never stops trying to optimize the dosing of shielding gas. After all, too much or too little gas impairs the quality of the result. Shielding gas is also a valuable resource. Not only because it causes costs, but also because producing it is an energy-intensive process. With such a large carbon footprint, shielding gas should be used as sparingly as possible. The intelligent gas controller from Fronius optimizes consumption while maintaining consistently high welding quality and helps to cut gas usage by up to 40 percent. Whether argon, helium, or mixed gases,…
The VLaser 370 laser machine sharpens tools made from ultra-hard cutting materials such as PCD, CVD or PcBN.
