The aerospace industry is not only one of the largest consumers of cutting tools but also one of the most important driving factors for cutting tool development. The aerospace industry features continuous efforts aimed at improving aircraft component manufacturing efficiency, increasing flight safety, and reducing potential environmental damage. To achieve these goals, the aerospace industry must constantly improve the design of aircraft engines and airframe structural elements, to increase the protection of the aircraft from the damaging action of such dangerous factors as lightening and icing. This in turn has resulted in a series of industry demands, including the introduction…

In 1984, Charles Hull invented the first 3D printer, which used stereolithography to build up a plastic product layer by layer. Over 35 years later, additive manufacturing (AM) is drastically altering a range of industries, from manufacturing to the medical sector. But what are the limitations of the technology? John Young, APAC Director, EU Automation, shares some insights In some applications, component manufacturing is shifting away from traditional subtractive machining methods and towards additive manufacturing techniques. The broadening of the applications of AM is causing manufacturers to assess the viability of using it in their own facilities. To do this,…

What are the requirements, differences and advantages of the milling strategy? Walter has compactly compiled the facts for you.Higher process reliability, shorter machining times – at ever lower Many industries, especially suppliers, are in this dilemma. In addition, there are always new materials. The focus here is on weight savings, corrosion resistance and resistance to very high temperatures. Materials that are often difficult to machine. Dynamic milling offers a solution that promises both higher productivity and higher process reliability under the right conditions. What these conditions are and where the advantages of dynamic milling compared to other milling processes lie?…

The brand-new transmission elements are now online included in the wide group of machine elements. Glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer and grey colour. Transmission elements count two families: cylindrical spur gears (pressure angle 20°) with straight teeth (ZCL) and racks (pressure angle 20°) with straight teeth (ZCR). Spur gears modules are from 0.5 to 3.0 and racks from 0.5 to 4.0. Racks are available in square section, with or without metal core, with mounting bracket or “T” shaped. Main function of transmission elements is the transfer of a speed and torque in a mechanical system. Over the last few decades,…

At SPS 2019 in Nuremberg, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS presented a new synchronous motor with a significant higher energy efficiency (IE5+). This new energy saving motors can be supplied without a fan and with very smooth surfaces. It can be combined with the nsd tupH surface treatment. It is therefore optimally suited for use in intralogistics and wash-down applications. The energy-efficient latest generation permanent magnet synchronous motor has considerably lower losses than the current IE4 series. The unventilated smooth motor achieves its high efficiency that, at times, is significantly above efficiency class IE5 via a wide torque range – and is optimally…

Let’s get one thing very clear and that is most drastic changes happen for two reasons. First, there has to be a significant benefit to the corporate world. Second, there remains no other option but to change. The concept of the electric vehicles (EV) has been in existence for decades but there was no incentive to manufacture them and the global warming was not at the level it is today.. Article by : Arijit Nag International interest in climate change, particularly its effects on the environment and more broadly on society, is probably at an all time high. The global…
