Presently industries are going through VUCA – Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous world. Change is non-linear and exponential. There are stiff and extreme challenges for industries and businesses – more particularly for SME’s and unorganized segments – to survive and how to serve all stake holder involved in business chain. While we take snapshot of industries before pandemic outbreak, our economy was on decline and we had started moving towards recessionary phase – from stagnation to recession. GDP was going down, fiscal deficit was not in control. To fuel this situation further, pandemic outbreak happened. Pandemic crisis is an unprecedented…

OPTIPOWER analyses cutting conditions, optimizes feed rates, and allows users to create better cutting strategies. The benefits are reduction in the production cycle times, enhancement of cutting operations, and fast development of new G-code files for future applications. During an adaptive optimization of the machining operations, the cutting power can be used in the optimization as a value to limit or accelerate the machining. • Federate limitation by maximum permissible loads of the machine axes can be used to reduce the feed rewritten if the machine applies maximum loads. • A new optimised program can consequently be generated. It will…

When ANCA decided to create the ANCA EDG (Electro Discharge Grinding) machine in 2011, the mission was clear. The company wanted to create a high-performance Rotary Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) platform that was not only able to produce best-in-class tool geometries but also have market leading cycle times. It was the brainchild of Pat Boland, ANCA Founder and Managing Director, who realised that to outperform the incumbents, brains were needed over brawn. “The erosion process is simple in its complexity. The basis of the process uses positive and negative electrodes with electrolyte to create sparks along a material. ANCA has…

VIRTUAL SUMMIT – 28th January 2021 | 2:30 PM – 5:00 PM IST The global pandemic has caused upheaval everywhere in the economy and especially in the chemical industry where demand destruction, disrupted supply chains and human capital challenges have been exacerbated. However, perhaps there’s a silver lining: the accelerating adoption of digital technologies to safely and efficiently run operations in the new normal. And this has become a requirement to maintain a competitive advantage; it’s no longer a “nice to have”. While the chemical industry just can’t digitalize overnight, it can’t afford to wait years to reap the benefits…

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…
