A well-known problem in Machining is Tool Breakage. However, a lesser known but one that causes more rework, rejection, scrap and affecting bottom-line is wrong tool used. Does only using CNC Machining guarantee Precision of components machined? While, CNC machines come with a certain level of precision, accuracy and automation in manufacturing, achieving an optimal level of precision requires another very important but largely ignored aspect to be done well and that is TCM or Tool condition monitoring. A well-known problem that is common for all Machining is Tool Breakage. However, a lesser known but one that causes more rework,…
Multitasking machines have been around for decades and it will be hard to find a machine shop that does not have at least one on the shop floor. More multitasking machines are sold today than stand-alone machines. This happened because the machines have changed significantly over the years, making them faster and more rigid. A multitasking process will see a milling cutter machining a rotating workpiece. The combination of milling and turning techniques has many advantages, but only recently have multitasking machine tools displayed its full benefits. Integrating multitasking with the manufacturing process can solve quality problems and substantially improve…

ARCH Cutting Tools won the ANCA Tool of the Year with ZMK coming in as the runner-up in that category. ARCH designed a complex multi-functional tool measuring an inch in diameter with a long functional cutting length. The ARCH tool…
As shops look to expand capacity, they are increasingly turning to lights-out machining instead of adding machines, employees or shifts. Utilising overnight and weekend hours to produce parts with no operators present, shops are able to get more production out of their existing machines. However, unattended machining can be risky and not advisable — if a machine or cutting tool were to fail with no one around to quickly address the situation, the results could be costly In order to successfully transition a production process from attended to unattended machining, shops should reconsider every aspect of the process and optimise…

Despite the green shoots being spoken about regarding the economy there are certain problems which are cropping up. Among the Covid-19 deaths in India, which have reached almost 1.10 lakhs, almost half have occurred among the below-60 age group. Which means the country’s workforce has been significantly impacted. This means it will be an uphill task to get the economy back on rails and particularly, the manufacturing segment.As a twin shock to the economy, industrial production declined eight per cent in August, while retail inflation rose to an eight-month high of 7.34 per cent in September, further delaying a rate…
