Dunlop Aerospace Braking Systems, a part of Meggitt plc, is a global organisation that designs, develops and manufactures wheels and brakes for commercial and military aircraft applications. Aircraft production in the UK has experienced steady growth and to meet this demand the hub and flange cell at Dunlop Aerospace purchased 3 key CNC machines between 1998 and 2000, at that time actively specifying Renishaw probe systems. This has increased process consistency and has also had a marked effect on the manufacturing time. Dramatic reductions Andrew Cartledge, team leader of the hub and flange cell, speaks positively about the decision to…

Hypertherm, a manufacturer of plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting systems, is marking a major milestone with the production of its 100,000th Powermax45® plasma cutting and gouging system. This milestone makes the Powermax45 the bestselling plasma system of all time. It easily beats Hypertherm’s previous record set in 2007 when the company announced it had sold 50,000 Powermax600® units. Introduced in 2008, the popularity of the Powermax45 is due in large part to its incredible versatility. It is portable — weighing in at 16 kg — yet powerful enough to easily cut 12 mm thick metal, and sever 25 mm thick…

DMG MORI and Schaeffler Technologies will be presenting the innovation project “Machine Tool 4.0” as a milestone on the road to future-orientated production, process and maintenance optimisation at the EMO in Milan. Calculable availability of means of production ranks as a decisive factor in the realisation of cyber-physical production networks. This has led to the optimisation of service and maintenance processes progressively moving away from the back burner and into the limelight. That is why DMG MORI has collaborated with Schaeffler Technologie to start the innovation project “Machine Tool 4.0” taking the mill/turn centre DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK® as a specific example.…
Additive Manufacturing processes and 3D Printing have become well established in the automotive industry. Applications now go far beyond prototype production, but developments are usually kept out of the public eye. Rapid.Tech’s first “Automotive Industry” trade forum promises to deliver new insights, with high-profile representatives from industry and research. The automotive industry has once again proven to be an engine of innovation for technology, this time for Additive Manufacturing (AM) and 3D Printing. For example, the Volkswagen Group revved up development at the start of 2014 by networking the AM-related activities of its individual brands via a corporate technology workstream.…
Non-circular gears are making headway in many areas of application—in machines, engines, and pumps they ensure perfectly tuned irregular power transmission. This allows the replacement of expensive direct drives, used to control the changes in power transmission electronically. The demanding production of the non-circular components does present a challenge, however. Currently the methods used, including EDM or gear shaping, are usually relatively expensive. The key question is, how can the components be produced more flexibly and more efficiently? The gear hobbing specialists at EMAG subsidiary KOEPFER in Schwenningen, Germany, have an innovative answer. Their new process makes it possible to…
The fan manufacturer Ziehl-Abegg is once again applying knowledge gained from Nature to a current new fan development. The idea for this new latest generation of radial fans comes from the humpback whale; allowing for energy savings of up to ten percent. “Our engineers have therefore clearly underlined their role in the forefront of bionics and as a leader in fan technology” says Chairman of the Board Peter Fenkl, happily. Ziehl-Abegg delivers peak efficiency in excess of 70 percent in its radial fans.Every approach must therefore be used to optimise this. The angle at which the airflow meets the fan…
The VF-16, Haas F1 Team’s first racecar, has arrived!
