In order to minimise positioning errors in machine tools, the eddy current sensor SGS 4701 measures the thermal extension of high-frequency spindles.The spindle is at the heart of a machine tool and so plays a decisive role in the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the respective workpiece. High speeds and the heat generated result in the axial extension of the workpiece spindle and to the resultant positioning error during finishing of the workpiece. The new eddyNCDT SGS 4701 miniature eddy current sensor measures the thermal and centrifugal force extension of high-frequency spindles by measuring on the labyrinth-ring. The measured…
Dormer Pramet’s family of solid carbide milling cutters for difficult to machine materials offers a variety of options from roughing through to finishing The S2 assortment includes a range of neck options for deep milling and multi-flute designs to support numerous applications in tough steels, titanium and nickel. Its differential pitch cutters (S260, S262, S264), for example, reduce chatter and offer fewer tool offset adjustments, providing effective chip removal at high feed rates. The trio of cutters – available in diameters from 3mm-20mm – feature an optimized cutting-edge to reduce chipping and prolong tool life. All have an AlCrN coating…
The new cutter, for both roughing and semi finishing, features eight inserts with multiple cutting edges that cost-effectively increase depths-of-cut for high output The Double Quattromill® 22 offers three insert ranges with various edges and grade options. The ME12 geometry works with superalloys and stainless steels. The M12 geometry comes in many grades for compatibility with most workpiece materials. The M18 covers steels and cast irons, which require heavier edge protection. Seco’s latest breakthrough in face milling cutters, the Double Quattromill 22, remarkably boosts the metal removal rates and allows workshops to push machine tools to their full milling potentials.…
Maximum metal removal rates, and maximum flexibility characterizes the new HARVI Ultra 8X Imagine burying a roughing tool in a block of Ti-6Al-4V titanium and ripping away more than 1000 cm3 (61 cubic inches) of material in just one minute. If you’d been at a recent test of Kennametal’s new HARVITM Ultra 8X helical milling cutter, you’d have seen exactly that. Using a 95 mm (3.74 in.) axial depth of cut, 20 mm (0.78 in.) radially, and a feedrate of 423 mm/min (16.65 ipm), the 80 mm (3.15 in.) diameter HARVI Ultra 8X plowed through this difficult aerospace superalloy for…
Renishaw’s new multi-axis periscope (RMAP) is designed to enable six degrees of freedom measurements in XY stage applications, utilising the performance from the RLD10-X3-DI interferometer head, to accurately measure pitch, yaw and roll. Measuring angular deviations within the stage motion enables correction of these errors, within the machine motion, to improve positioning accuracy. Whilst these measurements can be achieved using independent differential interferometer heads, the multi-axis periscope minimises the beam footprint to 18 mm by 35 mm, allowing for smaller stage mirrors and lowering machine costs. With an angular range of ±30 arc seconds, the multi-axis periscope is compatible with…

South Korean flat-panel display (FPD) process equipment manufacturers have held a market-leading position for some time and are the driving force behind many of the recent advances seen in the manufacture of organic light emitting diode (OLED) and active-matrix light emitting diode (AMOLED) displaysTPC Motion (TPC), a well-known Korean manufacturer of motion-control components, has developed a laser aperture stop (optical slit) assembly that employs Renishaw’s miniature ATOM linear encoder system on multiple X and Y axes. The aperture stop offers a compact and precise aperture-control solution for the laser repair of FPD assemblies and metal photomasks.The FPD manufacturing process involves…
The decision of IFB’s R& D team to go with DesignTech’s Fortus 900mc proved to be extremely fruitful. The engineers get more focused on functional prototype testing and reviews with iterations as it has reduced time pressures, corrected mistakes, revisions and reworks at the later stage of development IFB Industries Limited, originally known as Indian Fine Blanks Limited, started their operations in Indiain 1974 in collaboration with Hienrich Schmid AG of Switzerland. IFB’s product range includes fine blanked components, tools and related machine tools like straightness, decoilers, strip loaders and more. IFB has always represented the leading edge of technology,which…
Some follow the rules when it comes to design, but there is one company that tries to get off the “tracks” of tradition to find more innovative solutions. This is how Rollon has expanded its product range for linear movement solutions. The new modular rails are called O-Rail: a solution created to add flexibility, that can open the doors to a potentially unlimited number of design combinations. The Vimercate-based group enhances its range of solutions with modular self-aligning linear rails that allow operators to set up many types of design configurations, to respond to the most specific needs of individual…
