Laser cutting is one of the most versatile tools in manufacturing, creating high-quality precision designs in materials from paper to steel and everything in between. If you can design it on a computer, you can create it with a laser cutter, even if you are not a skilled craftsperson when it comes to making things by hand. Adopting laser cutting technology can improve nearly any product. Here are some quick and easy instructions to follow to make laser cutting projects as efficient as possible.Overcome the Disadvantages of Laser CuttingWhile laser cutting is an incredibly versatile tool, it does have its…
Webinar Series On Digital Transformation for Small & Mid-size Manufacturers presented by ENGINEERING REVIEW power by SIEMENS, Series of webinars created specifically keeping the GROWTH and CHALLENGE areas for SMALL and MEDIUM manufacturers
While the entire manufacturing industry is poised to grow and establish a global footprint, it provides an opportunity for Indian machine tool industry to grow alongside, say the authors. Recent global events have shown that manufacturing excellence and growth will take India to the next level of economic prosperity.There is unanimity among Industry leaders and policy makers that the transformation of Indian manufacturing is the need of the hour. In its report “Reshoring and China diversification indices”, AT Kearney tracked the “rebalancing” of US manufacturing imports away from China.It says that the future threats will force companies to reorganize global…
Kennametal introduces the eBore™ Fine Boring System Digital-ready boring tools enable precision adjustment as easy as 1, 2, 3. Kennametal has introduced a new line of digital-ready fine boring tools that make precision adjustment easy, enabling more productive, predictable, and accurate boring. The eBore Fine Boring System consists of cutting units to cover a diameter range from 6 to 1020mm (0.236» to 40.157») and an optional digital display that makes precision adjustments as simple as turning a screw—and costly mistakes a thing of the past. »For many workpieces, the boring operation is often the final step, and a simple mistake…
The corona pandemic continues to impact the overall economic situation and is causing a strong decline in the global demand for machine tools. Also DMG MORI has not been able to avoid its consequences: order intake, sales revenues and earnings in the first six months of 2020 were significantly below the high figures of the previous year. Order intake reached € 784.0 million (previous year: € 1,412.3 million). Sales revenues were € 838.0 million (previous year: € 1,276.4 million). Despite the difficult market and economic conditions, the results of operations were positive: EBIT amounted to € 33.2 million (previous year:…
Sachin Pimpalnerkar, global segment manager at Sandvik explains how Sandvik Machining Solutions has optimised two crucial toolmaking technologies to achieve both. The main driver of business sustainability goals is to make an impact on the wider world. Another benefit that is often overlooked is the economic value of implementing sustainable actions. Can businesses save money, while helping to protect the planet? Here, Sachin Pimpalnerkar, global segment manager for renewable energy at global engineering group, Sandvik, explains how Sandvik Machining Solutions (SMS) has optimised two crucial toolmaking technologies to achieve just that. Almost everything made of metal is machined with an…
Kennametal introduces KCS10B for Superalloy Applications Kennametal has introduced its newest and most advanced turning grade, KCS10B, for nickel, cobalt and iron-based superalloys used in aerospace and other high temperature applications. KCS10B, which features a revolutionary coating applied to an ultra-fine grain carbide substrate for superior layer adhesion, delivers up to 50% greater tool life, more predictable processes, and improved productivity when working with difficult to machine superalloys. KCS10B overcomes the most common challenges encountered in turning superalloys – cratering and depth-of-cut notching – two wear modes that often lead to unexpected and even catastrophic tool failure. KCS10B is available…
