Following the dramatic rise in electricity prices, energy consumption is becoming an increasingly important variable that needs be carefully influenced. Energy management systems have long offered a solution. But only now is there an IIoT-supported application for the capture and optimisation of energy consumption, which – as in many other areas of digitalisation – promises considerable added value. For decades, energy costs were a reliable and predictable variable in production and with competitive costs of around 5 cents per kWh, they were easy enough to calculate. There are a number of reasons this calculation is no longer reliable, the war…
Jetstream Tooling® Integrated (JETI) toolholders bring the benefits of high-pressure coolant to round, positive turning inserts for effective profiling and pocketing in difficult-to-cut materials. JETI toolholders eliminate hoses and spare parts associated with high-pressure coolant, and 3D-printed coolant clamps provide internal coolant channels for effective cutting zone cooling and chip control. The precision delivery of high-pressure coolant by the toolholder’s internal coolant channels allows increased cutting speeds and feeds for shorter part cycle times. “The JETI toolholders allow shops to step up their pocket machining operations,” said Seco Product Manager Frederik Samuelsson. “Combining the benefits of high-pressure coolant, strong,…
