Centerless Grinding operation is a mass production process in which cylindrical components are ground without reference to center. This operation is used as the final process in majority of the components where the tolerances and the quality parameter are stringent. The grinding process is basically designed for mass production. As the cost of manufacturing is increasing, the users are trying to extract more & more production from a grinder in order to lower the cost per piece. The user feedback and experiences highlighted the problems faced during day to day work, and solutions need to be implemented for future expansion…

When we say power tool, an idea comes in our minds about a tool which uses some power to perform some activity. The power is of some form but necessarily not muscle power. It may be electric, pneumatic, natural power such as wind, hydro, etc. Power tools find use in industries, in the garden, in home tasks such as cleaning, around the house for the purpose of drilling, cutting, etc. There is a wide range of 350+ tools including cordless screw drivers, drill machines, impact wrenches, rotary hammers, surveying equipment, and range finders. Power tools are either stationary or movable.…
The parting-off system comprises High Speed Steel blades, Jetstream Tooling® technology and tool blocks with coolant inlets. Together, these elements give high-pressure coolant a straight path to the cutting edge and provide an optimised means for effectively penetrating the friction zone between the cutting edge and workpiece. Thereby, manufacturers benefit from fast heat removal, proper chip evacuation and superior part surface finishes. Plus, the 150.10-JETI system is able to move freely in tight workspaces and operate closer to the spindle thanks to its compact assembly free of external piping and connections. The elimination of these external components also saves users…

The ease of operating a Haas machine coupled with support and accuracy of the machine, has helped the machining firm carve out its own unique identity Despite what the text books and the business magazines might say, there’s no ‘right’ way to start a company. Some of those that eventually turn out to be successful have very humble beginnings, and no particular business plans to speak of. Take Haas Automation customer Lange CNC, for example. Founded and owned by Jens Lange, and his wife, Steffi, the Stuttgart-based company wasn’t exactly an accident, but it started off as little…
More and more travelers use modern train services because of their ease, cost effectiveness, comfort and safety.
