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…

With 28 entries, 1.2 million social impressions and almost 4500 votes, ANCA’s Tool of the Year loudly celebrates the contribution modern cutting tools make to manufacturing, surgery, woodworking and other diverse industries. For example, finalist Ocmandy’s tool makes the outside profile of the windows for the Louvre Museum in Paris. The competition glitters and celebrates these tools that shape our world.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 ticked…
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…
