The VIONiC design combines all necessary interpolation and signal processing inside the readhead and eliminates the requirement for additional external interfaces. To this end, Renishaw developed a new Versatile Interpolation ASIC (VIA) chip to perform all of the functions originally executed by the interface. Other features, working in conjunction with the Advanced Diagnostic Tool (ADT), bring the end-user wide-ranging monitoring and diagnostic feedback. The VIONiCplus…
Whether for special machines or for complete machining on flexible machining centres – if the issue is to machine complex contours, non-cylindrical bores, face surfaces or recesses on cubic parts, actuating tools offer the optimal tool. The product range includes mechanical actuating tools, which on the machine side are driven by pull/push rods or U axis systems, as well as NC-controlled tools, and the particularly flexible mechatronic tool system TOOLTRONIC, for machines without an additional feed unit. An application for actuating tools can be found in many branches. Especially in the automotive industry there are many applications which require highest…
The paper examines welding and cutting process trends in the sheet metal and plates used in various industries like automobiles, infrastructure, ship building, aerospace industries, wind tower manufacturing etc. Productivity gains in arc welding are reviewed, and the increasing use of laser cutting and welding, as well as laser-arc hybrid welding, particularly in Europe, is discussed and explained. Some friction technologies are already widely adopted, but they could make more impact with further development. Electron beam welding could also be used with economic benefit in some situations, but as with all non-arc processes, it will only be adopted if significant…

With the growing rate of industrialization, metal working fluids, commonly known as cutting fluids, continue to be extensively used in machining industries even after the development of advanced processing techniques such as MQL and dry machining. — By Ashok Kumar Metal working fluid (MWF) is the name given to a range of oils and other liquids that are used to cool and/or lubricate metal workpieces when they are being machined, ground, milled, etc. MWFs reduce the heat and friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece, and help prevent burning and smoking. Applying MWFs also helps in improving the quality…
