The Precision Ball Screw Spline contains Ball Screw grooves and Ball Spline grooves that cross each other on a single shaft. The Precision Ball Screw Spline nut has a special designed support bearing directly set up on the outer ring of the nuts. The Precision Ball Screw Spline is capable of performing three modes of motion ( rotational, linear and spiral ) with a single shaft by rotating or stopping the spline nut. FeaturesHigh Positioning AccuracyThe Ball Spline groove preload is designed Gothic arch. By applied preload, the backlash in the rotational direction is eliminated therefore having higher positioning accuracy.Lightweight…
A Critical Opportunity for IndiaCurrently, India’s manufacturing sector contributes approximately 17% to the GDP, falling short of the long-term goal of 25%. Reaching this target is crucial for India to establish itself as a global leader in manufacturing. The advancements in 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, present a significant opportunity to expedite this progress. The statistics are compelling: India’s 3D printing market, estimated to be worth around USD 707 million (₹5,870 crore) in 2024, is expected to grow at an annual rate of over 21%, reaching USD 4.3 billion (₹35,700 crore) by 2033. This rapid expansion indicates increasing…
As the innovation leader in arc welding, Fronius never stops trying to optimize the dosing of shielding gas. After all, too much or too little gas impairs the quality of the result. Shielding gas is also a valuable resource. Not only because it causes costs, but also because producing it is an energy-intensive process. With such a large carbon footprint, shielding gas should be used as sparingly as possible. The intelligent gas controller from Fronius optimizes consumption while maintaining consistently high welding quality and helps to cut gas usage by up to 40 percent. Whether argon, helium, or mixed gases,…
The VLaser 370 laser machine sharpens tools made from ultra-hard cutting materials such as PCD, CVD or PcBN. The machine was developed by the international sharpening specialist VOLLMER, headquartered in Biberach, Germany, with its Indian subsidiary located in Bengaluru. The VLaser 370 enables fast and highly precise tool machining thanks to its innovative kinematics, which ensure that the tool being processed remains at the focal point of the laser at all times by using the C-axis as a reference. Automation and digital solutions allow for unmanned operation around the clock, as well as IoT-based analysis and web-based helpdesk services. With…

Metal cutting operations lie at the heart of modern manufacturing, shaping everything from tiny aerospace components to massive automotive parts. In this complex and high-precision domain, metal cutting fluids and lubricants play a silent yet critical role — influencing not just the surface finish and tool life, but also the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of machining processes. Over the years, the science and engineering behind cutting fluids have evolved significantly, shaped by changes in materials, machine tools, regulatory norms, and environmental expectations. Cutting fluids, often called coolants or lubricants, serve three primary functions: cooling the cutting zone, lubricating the interface…
