Across the region, we are seeing an uptick in complexity and integration in commercial industries. According to a report by PwC, one-third of CEOs were prioritising increased use of digital innovations, including predictive maintenance (37%) and AI (34%) a full year before the COVID-19 pandemic forced industries around the world to embrace digital innovation faster than ever before. Industrial operations have become more data-driven and connected, as global competition intensifies, and companies continue to grapple with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and reinvent moving forward. Now, nearly half of CEOs plan to increase their rate of digital investment by…
As machining complexities continue to evolve with customers looking at new ways to balance precision with productivity, the advent of hard part turning has emerged as an ideal alternative to grinding. Broadly, hard part turning refers to machining of parts with a hardness of above 45 HRC, although most frequently the process concerns hardness of 58 to 68 HRC. The workpiece materials involved include various hardened alloy steels, tool steels, case-hardened steels, high temperature alloys, nitride irons, hard chrome coated steels, and heat-treated powder metallurgical parts with application across end markets such as transportation, general engineering, energy, and aerospace. There…
Trailer & Railcar Tanks Manufacturing Tanks manufactured for road and rail transportation are designed to be the lightest possible to increase the payload. The direct consequence is the use of thinner and high-quality plates in carbon steel or stainless steel with high tensile strength. Therefore, the production target is to: reduce to the very minimum the ovality tolerance of the rolled shell and to ensure the same roundness is then obtained in the heads spun on the flanging machine. decrease manual fitting ensure the repeatability of the components. To obtain the above production objectives, it is important to invest in…

A product is said to be of good quality if it satisfies the customer requirements in terms of performance, grade, durability, appearance and intended purpose and if all these parameters are sustained during the life of the product. The machine tool industry considers quality as a byproduct of the processes followed in design, manufacturing, assembly, inspection, supply chain, marketing, sales, and service of a product. In fact quality control permeates all the processes involved in chiseling out an engineered product. One company that ensures impeccable quality of products in the manufacturing chain is the Pune-based ATQ Metro which has recently…
The international deep-hole drilling gadget market exhibited moderate growth during the period of 2015-2020. In the years, the industry experts expect the market to grow at a CAGR of around five per cent during 2021-2026. The medical fraternity says these insights are included in a related report as a major market contributor. A deep-hole drilling machine is a mechanical gadget used for cutting through metals in very deep and precise holes. The gadget can be applied on various metals, for instance alloy and stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, cast iron and copper alloys and consists of a cutting tool, or a…

Achieving high precision with non-contact measurement Capacitive displacement sensors are still deemed to be primarily suited to clean, dry environments. However, in the form of industry-optimized models such as those designed by Micro-Epsilon, capacitive sensors achieve peak performances in harsh industrial applications. They also measure with the highest precision down to sub-micrometer accuracy in industrial environments. With temperature resistance, robustness and flexibility, capacitive sensors can also be used in environments where fluctuating temperatures or magnetic fields occur. Capacitive displacement sensors mainly determine changes in displacement and position of conductive objects. Here, Micro-Epsilon applies its expertise in the development of innovative…
Every sector has seen transformations and advancements over the years. The days of numerical controls being solely about servo mechanisms are long gone. We are now living in the era of CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) systems. These control systems have aided in a variety of ways, ranging from simple turning to complex machining. The controllers that operate these CNC systems are even more fascinating. Mitsubishi Electric looks ahead to partner with the brands that are focused on global and future-oriented development. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, and it refers to the concept of controlling machine tools with a computer.…
The history of computer numerical control (CNC) machines dates back seven decades. During the 1950s, CNC technology was difficult to introduce due to manufacturers’ skepticism. Today, it is hard to imagine the world of manufacturing without CNC machines. In material-removal processes, a CNC machine has become the central link that determines the functional capabilities of a manufacturer. CNC machining centers are complex machines that continue to evolve and improve. The advancement of CNC technology is based on the progress in various fields such as main spindle and its bearing units, machining slideways, high-velocity drives, computer engineering, hydraulics, electric motors, robotics,…
