Following the dramatic rise in electricity prices, energy consumption is becoming an increasingly important variable that needs be carefully influenced. Energy management systems have long offered a solution. But only now is there an IIoT-supported application for the capture and optimisation of energy consumption, which – as in many other areas of digitalisation – promises considerable added value. For decades, energy costs were a reliable and predictable variable in production and with competitive costs of around 5 cents per kWh, they were easy enough to calculate. There are a number of reasons this calculation is no longer reliable, the war…
Jetstream Tooling® Integrated (JETI) toolholders bring the benefits of high-pressure coolant to round, positive turning inserts for effective profiling and pocketing in difficult-to-cut materials. JETI toolholders eliminate hoses and spare parts associated with high-pressure coolant, and 3D-printed coolant clamps provide internal coolant channels for effective cutting zone cooling and chip control. The precision delivery of high-pressure coolant by the toolholder’s internal coolant channels allows increased cutting speeds and feeds for shorter part cycle times. “The JETI toolholders allow shops to step up their pocket machining operations,” said Seco Product Manager Frederik Samuelsson. “Combining the benefits of high-pressure coolant, strong,…
Before an airplane is assembled, its components must be manufactured and shipped to the assembly plant and sometimes stored. This critical period can lead to the uneventful arrival and installation of a propeller or engine, or it can lead to headaches and setbacks from corroded components. Cortec® Corporation encourages man-ufacturers to take the first option by choosing a simple but effective packaging strategy based on Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors. Corrosion Dangers During Shipping and Storage Shipping and storage are vulnerable times for aircraft components, especially when they take place in a hot, humid environment or undergo fluctuating temperatures during export.…
Constructed in hygienic design, the new mGrip finger gripper from Schmalz fulfils the highest cleanliness standards. Thanks to its unique geometry, it picks up delicate products such as vegetables or baked goods precisely and gently. This enables food manufacturers to automate their handling tasks with process reliability. Sensitive surfaces, sometimes soft and sometimes fragile, rather spherical or flat – food products have many different shapes and are therefore a challenge for automated solutions. They only have one thing in common: handling must be absolutely hygienic and therefore safe. With the mGrip finger gripper and its wide range of configuration options,…
Written by: Donatella Fumagalli, FACCIN Group’s Marketing Manager India’s oil and gas sector is poised for significant growth in the coming years, driven by increasing energy demand, economic expansion, and strategic policy initiatives. The country is set to become the largest source of global oil demand growth between now and 2030. The Indian government is actively reforming regulations to attract foreign investment and boost domestic oil production, given that 70% of India’s reserves remain unexplored. Policies include opening previously restricted areas for exploration and offering incentives to international oil companies. Infrastructure Development India’s refining capacity is expected to increase to…
The G350, one of GROB’s proven 5-axis universal machines, is known for its flexibility and efficiency in the machining industry and will be demonstrating its broad machining spectrum live at IMTEX 2025. The G350 impresses with its compact design. Thanks to the intelligent arrangement of the tool magazine, the machine width has been reduced from 2,450 mm to a compact 2,000 mm without compromising performance. This allows companies to save valuable space in the production hall and at the same time benefit from more tool capacity and greater machining efficiency. Thanks to the double disk-type tool magazine, it is possible…
