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…

Zyfra, Finnish-Russian industrial digitalization leader, has developed predictive analytics solution powered by machine learning to enhance the capabilities of metalworking machines by detecting anomalies in technological process and identifying their possible cause. ZyfraPdA solution analyses the real-time data from CNC machines, alerts users whenever an anomaly emerges, and indicates the possible cause while giving recommendations for further actions. The system classifies a range of anomalies like tool quality, operator error in case of incorrect operating modes selection and machine failure. “Manufacturers of large-dimensioned products made of expensive materials face a detect defection problem. Defects are caused by many factors such…

Let’s benefit from streamlining systems and processes. Focus on your speciality and leverage the tech that’s already out there. Grind the wheel, don’t reinvent it. Industrial automation is changing the way cutting tool manufacturers operate. Machines have taken on the heavy lifting at each stage of production letting workers get on with less repetitive tasks. And while automation may sound costly and complex to implement, it’s not reserved just for big businesses. There are dozens of ways a small cutting tool manufacturer can embrace automation for a more efficient and more innovative factory. Benefits of industrial automation Cost reduction, through…
In aeroplanes, cars, trains or furniture construction, it is not only the durability of the components that is important, but above all their lightweight property and quick assembly. igus has now developed a polymer telescopic guide completely made of high-performance polymers. With the drylin NT series, igus already successfully carries telescopic guides made of aluminium and polymer, which glide smoothly and evenly due to the use of tribologically optimised high-performance polymers, in its range.
