Customized grinding concepts in Milan
Improve workpiece quality, reduce cycle time: The customized grinding concepts of the JUNKER Group met with keen interest at the EMO in Milan At the EMO the JUNKER Group showcased its products for the first time in Europe together with its latest member ZEMA. It was once again obvious that the customized grinding concepts that the Group develops for workpieces regardless of their complexity is the result of an intensive dialogue with its customers. The circular grinding machine Numerika GH 1000 by ZEMA attracted a great deal of attention. The Brazilian grinding machine manufacturer became a member of the JUNKER Group in March. The sophisticated machine concept surprised visitors to the exhibition where it immediately became apparent that ZEMA is competing on an equal footing with European manufacturers. ZEMA can offer its customers sound workmanship, simple operation using the Fanuc or Siemens control and choice of components thanks to its close cooperation with globally

renowned suppliers. Visitors were also able to take a closer look at a newly developed workhead at the JUNKER JUMAT 1S when grinding the threads of ball screw nuts. With two opposing clamping devices, downtimes can be minimized considerably: while grinding on the one side, workpieces are unloaded, loaded, clamped and positioned on the other. The only downtime: Swiveling by 180 degrees in less than 3 seconds. Numerous inquiries came in particular from Italian customers with regard to the Lean Selection speed. One or two high-performance grinding spindles mounted at the swivelaction wheelhead (B-axis) work using both the plunge-cut and QUICKPOINT grinding methods. Thanks to this flexibility feature, it is predestined for use in smaller workshops. The LTA Lufttechnik presented its filtration solution at its own booth in Hall 11. The
electrostatic oil and emulsion mist filters met with great approval. The modular design renders them suitable for the group or central extraction of several machine tools. All in all, the JUNKER Group is satisfied with the outcome of this year’s EMO. Contracts were concluded, existing customer contacts maintained and promising contacts established – also as regards the search for new sales engineers for the Italian market.

One of the key findings of this report is the essential role that energy efficiency will play in the future to help solve energy challenges. With companies in the industrial sector increasingly looking at new technologies to reduce
10
MTW NOVEMBER 2015
their energy usage, energy efficiency improvementsthrough lubricant technology areoften overlooked in industrial facilities. Lubricants are often considered a negligible contributor towards the annual profitability of the plant. This is because of lack of appropriate awareness and quantification methods that capture benefits associated with the proper usage of a lubricant. ExxonMobil defines Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as an effective way to consolidate key benefits. The concept attempts to cover the complete set of cost components from ‘Purchase to Disposal’. TCO comprises capital expenses incurred in acquiring and installing the equipment as well as operating expenses including operating cost, maintenance and repair, downtime cost, energy cost, environment cost, routine and overtime labor, training and disposal cost. High performance lubricants with significant energy efficiency benefits have the ability to achieve potential savings in energy, operation and maintenance costs in Indian industry. The mining industry is one of the most fundamental components of the industrial landscape and also one of the most challenging from a lubrication standpoint. With industry-leading technology and engineering resources, Mobil offers innovative products and services that help deliver tangible performance and “Advancing Productivity”benefits. “Advancing Productivity” focuses on how ExxonMobil’s innovative products and services

CNC axis sharing innovation paves the way for more versatile machine tools NUM has launched an innovative new CNC axis sharing facility that will enable designers to create machine tools of unprecedented versatility and productivity. It provides a very flexible and efficient means of controlling a high number of functionally interrelated groups of motion axes, by using advanced dynamic resource allocation techniques to share control across multiple CNC kernels. Typical applications include multi-station production centres and rotary transfer machines with complex multi-role axis control requirements. The new axis sharing facility further extends the flexibility of NUM’s high-end Flexium+ 68 CNC architecture by allowing the control of up to 32 servo drives to be timeshared by any of the CNC kernels in the system. Until now, it was only possible to share control of axes across the eight CNC channels of each individual Flexium+ 68 CNC kernel in a system. While this is more than adequate for most applications, some of the latest generation production machining centres and rotary transfer machines have a high number of stations, each typically comprising a multiaxis head (using the B and C axes) that is shared by several separate machining units in each station. Each machining unit is best served by having its own dedicated CNC channel, with control of the shared multiaxis heads being passed from one channel to another as the
14

machine cycle progresses. For example, a transfer machine with a main rotary table that has 12 stations, each comprising a dual-axis head that is shared with three machining units per station, would require a 36-channel CNC capability – one per machining unit. Each of these channels would need to control two shared axes, three local (or ‘fixed’) axes, and one or more spindles. All five axes of each machining unit must be fully interpolated, and the channel allocation of the two shared axes needs to change every time the rotary table indexes. This can now be achieved by using five Flexium+ 68 CNC kernels and axis sharing. Each individual Flexium+ 68 CNC kernel accommodates any combination of interpolated axes or spindles – up to a combined total of 32 – and supports up to eight CNC channels. At any one time, each channel can control any of
these axes or spindles and can either run its own part program asynchronously and operate autonomously (much as if it had its own dedicated CNC kernel), or it can be synchronised with any of the other seven channels. Control of the axes and spindles can be passed from one channel to another on-the-fly, to maximize use of hardware resources. By using multiple CNC kernels and the new axis sharing facility, machine designers can now implement control schemes for virtually any type of machine tool, regardless of its complexity. The only system requirement is that all shared servo drives must be physically connected to the first CNC kernel in the system. NUM’s Flexium+ 68 CNC architecture is inherently scaleable and suitable for systems with more than 200 interpolated axes and spindles, and more than 50 CNC channels. NUM’s market-leading
NUM’s new CNC axis-sharing facility allows multiple CNC kernels to timeshare control of up to 32 servo drives, paving the way for a new generation of high versatility multi-station machine tools.
Flexium+ CNC platform offers a choice of three configurations of CNC kernel, enabling machine designers to create cost- and performanceoptimised control systems for a wide range of automation. In addition to the high end Flexium+ 68, the product series includes two configurations for less demanding applications. Flexium+ 6 has a single CNC channel, can control four interpolated axes and a spindle, and is designed for machines of low to medium complexity. Flexium+ 8 is designed for more complex applications; it provides two CNC channels, either of which can control up to five interpolated axes, or four interpolated axes and a spindle. The Flexium+ platform is backed by powerful software. All CNC, servo drive, I/O, automation PLC and safety PLC functions are programmed using a single unified toolset. A fully customisable HMI allows users to add value to their machines, through improved ergonomics and touch-sensitive controls. NUM’s application support software covers a broad range of machining functions, including part grinding, tool grinding, turning, milling, gear hobbing, shaping and finishing, as well as water-jet, laser and plasma cutting. Many of these software packages are nowadays regarded by machine tool manufacturers and users as industry standards. For more information, Website: www.num.com

Better engineering means higher productivity in titanium & stainless steel with new VariMill III ER from WIDIA “OEMs and tier suppliers in the aerospace and energy segments who regularly face working in high-strength, low-weight titaniums and stainless steels will want to see how the VariMill III ER together with the new WIDIA Victory Grade WS15PE can improve performance,” says Ron West, WIDIA product manager. A newly developed coating and proprietary pre- and post-coat treatment significantly improves cutting edge consistency. Consistent cutting edges mean higher metalremoval rates, longer tool life, and improved workpiece surface finishes in expensive demanding materials. The tool is designed
to be a true finishing endmill with the ability to take up to 30% radial engagement. “This also means VariMill III ER customers can use highspeed machining techniques such as peel milling or trochoidal machining in high-strength alloys,” West adds. Demanding markets such as aerospace and energy are defined by the need for increased efficiency. In response, WIDIA is offering the
VariMill III ER in a full line of options, including two, three, and five times diameter length-ofcut and all common aerospace radii and chamfered corners, metric and inch. With more and more additive layer manufacturing in the aerospace field, the trend going forward will be from roughing to semi-finishing and finishing operations, perfect for the increased efficiencies VariMill III ER provides. VariMill III ER end mills also come standard with the SAFE-LOCK™ option by Haimer, eliminating pull-out risk, and making the tool assembly more stable and concentric, which in turn increases surface finish and tool life.
Featured in NOVO Moreover, VariMill solid-carbide end mills are available through NOVO™, WIDIA’s digital process knowledge application. With powerful process knowledge available on iPad™ & other digital devices, NOVO helps users define machining features, such as ramping or slotting in specific work materials, & then immediately reduces the product set to those like VariMill that can do the job. This provides far more useful process knowledge than any online catalog alone, all obtained in a fraction of the time. For more information, Website: www.widia.com/novo

PRC.in : Changing The Way You Purchase Mr. Manan Chowdhry Director PRC Supplies Pvt. Ltd.
Q. What is PRC.in and How does it work? So, PRC.in is an ‘Online Industrial Supply Store’. We stock ‘n sell more than 15,000 products across 150+ categories, with 10 brands ready for sale, as of October 2015, and another 35 brands that we will be launching towards the beginning of January 2016. How it works is really quite simple. All you have to do is go online to www.prc.in and place your order, make the payment and we ship your requested items from stock. PRC Industrial Supplies is primarily targeted towards manufacturers and businesses with industrial intent, and by definition is majorly a B2B service. That being said, PRC also has a lot of products that are of the DIY type and we do sell to individuals and non-industry consumers also. Appropriate taxes and invoices are
20
MTW NOVEMBER 2015
available when you choose to buy for your company, compared to simple retail invoices in case of individuals. We are waiting for the formal announcement from the government regarding GST and on the basis of that we will be launching excisable billing also. We have only recently started our services in July 2015 and are adding new products and features not just to the website but also to the business model as a whole.
Q. What are these features that you are adding to the business model? Can you please explain some of them? Sure. So one of the most basic features the website has is that it allows different type & size of customers to buy from us. We broadly divide our customers into
IN FOCUS www.mtwmag.com
3 groups - One time or Guests, Regular or Registered and Premium Buyers. Another feature we are currently working on is a quotation based model in which customers can get a formal price quote for the products and prices offered on our website. They can also get customised price quotes for items they want to buy in bulk. All of this is done in real-time and customers get the quote by email almost instantly. Another feature we plan to launch by Q1 2016-17 is to offer credit facility to our Premium Buyers. This facility is preapproved and offered only to customers that buy a minimum amount every month. These are just some of the features I have mentioned to give you a glimpse of how we think. In reality there is so much going on that for regular updates on what is new with PRC, you should sign up for our newsletter (add link here) which will not only give you this information but will keep you informed about other stuff like brands being launched, stock clearances and special offers.
Q. What do you think are the gaps in the online industrial supply space and how are you bridging them? Ecommerce is the great enabler of our times. It has the power to connect the need of the consumer with the consumer almost instantly. Thus, the growth potential. A drawback though of such growth potential, or I should say something we need to guard against as ecommerce businesses, is that we tend to forget that businesses should first have satisfied customers. We should not lose focus on ensuring that our customers get world class quality service, no matter what their size. Customers want that, and in the long-run they choose one brand over another for this very reason. Why they choose website A over website B is what matters to us. SIMPLICITY, SPEED, SUPPORT &
SERVICE is the promise we make to our customers when they buy from us. Everything we do, is done with all focus on actual industrial needs, not only in terms of products but also operations. We understand what factory owners want and how they want it. Customers don’t need to change their practices when they buy from us, or atleast they don’t have to change too much. They can rest easy that the products they buy from us have been sourced responsibly. They can expect after sales service in case something goes wrong. They can be assured that all wrongful practices have been eliminated from their purchasing decisions. Same goes for our vendors where we take over the entire activity of taking a brand online with only offline support from vendors, something they are already used to. E-commerce is only an enabler for us, what we really are is an Industrial Supply Company.
Q. How is the landscape different from the B2C space where companies like Flipkart and Snapdeal operate? In B2B, a product is bought for reasons of value addition to a company or business, where as in B2C the reason for the purchase can be many. Or you can simply say in B2B one buys out of only need and in B2C one buys out of want or need. In B2B, when a company buys a product that does not perform or does not reach a factory owner in time, the extent of the loss is not limited to just the cost of the product, it goes way beyond that. In B2C, the loss is usually limited to the product cost and that is why a Returns Policy is sufficient.
services are not available in certain areas and delivery times also change depending on area. Cash On Delivery is one of the services that is currently not available everywhere but we are working on it and soon should be able to make it available all across the country. In terms of geographical growth, we plan to cover to all major industrial towns in India by either being present in, or around that area. We also have plans to be present in some major cities for strategic advantage in terms of sourcing and logistics.
Q. By when do you expect to enter a phase of operational profitability? As with all ecommerce companies these days, are you looking to get funded? To grow at a rapid pace, young businesses need to continuously pump money into marketing and manpower. Basis this, we expect to be operationally profitable by FY 2017-18. When you’re looking to grow at the pace we are, external funding usually helps. We are in the process of raising funds and you’ll be hearing from us on that front, hopefully soon.
Q. What are your future plans or vision for PRC and where do you see PRC in 5 years?
Q. What parts of India do you currently supply to? What are your plans in terms of geographical growth?
ndia is a giant of a market and especially so for Industrial Supplies. In terms of vision, there is just one goal. I want the Indian manufacturers to think of us as a company or partner who they can actually bank on to understand and fulfil their needs. Whenever you need something for your factory, you know you’ll get it on PRC, you know you’ll get it in stock, you know you’ll get it tomorrow morning. I don’t know about 5 years, but I would love to take my company public.
So we are headquartered currently in New Delhi and we supply to all parts of India. The only difference is that some

The MICROFINISH process, also known as Superfinish, is a metalworking process for improving the surface and geometric form of components, with a precision of up to 0.1 Microns (0.0001 mm). The MICROFINISH process employs special finishing stones, finishing tape or cup wheels for extremely precise and controlled removal of material. Light pressure is applied to the component surface across a relatively large contact area, serving to remove the brittle, amorphic layer resulting out of previous processes, such as grinding. Tools and components are arranged in a specific fashion and subsequently rotated at several 1000 rpm in opposite directions. Depending on the objective the tool or the component may additionally be made to oscillate. Cooling solution serves to dissipate process heat so that no amount of undesired material deformation takes place. Factors that vary depending on component and objective include contact pressure, rotation speed, tool grainsize and a number of others. For more information : Website: www.thielenhaus.us

HAAS : HE307-CS The owner of CNC-Bearbeitung Jürgen Buss GmbH, a thriving subcontractor in southern Germany, is a lover of all things American, including classic cars, motorsport (especially NASCAR), and Haas machines. Since he began his company in 1992, he has made impressive progress, thanks in large part, he says, to his investment in several Haas CNC machines, including a UMC-750 five-axis universal machining centre.
Haas and the need for speed
Located around 40 km north of Stuttgart, CNC-Bearbeitung Jürgen Buss GmbH (known locally as Buss Toolmaking) has earned its reputation as a competent and reliable partner in CNC machining and toolmaking to industries such as automotive, medical, environmental, and agriculture; the wisdom of not allowing more than 10 to 15 percent of turnover to be spoken for by any single customer demonstrates astute management. Indeed, this ethos is applied similarly to its machine tool investments, exploiting the industry-leading, price-specification ratio of Haas machines to ensure the company

can compete in a highly competitive subcontract arena. Overseeing the company is owner and founder Jürgen Buss. Mr. Buss ended his employment with a local engineering firm at the age of 26, 23 years ago, opting instead to use his CNC machining background to begin his own company milling plastic components that formed part of systems for chimney gas measurement. The systems were successful, and as well as several contracts for steel components, he had the beginnings of his business. So far, he hasn’t looked back. Mr. Buss acquired his first Haas machine in the mid-1990s as a cost-

effective, high-quality alternative to the established German, Swiss, and Japanese makes prevalent in the local market at the time. Several Haas CNC lathes were acquired to run alongside four Haas CNC Super Mini Mills. And, although the global downturn of 2009 meant the company had to restructure and sell some of its capacity, the revival of the economy at the turn of the decade soon saw Mr. Buss back on the Haas investment trail. “The latest arrival is a Haas VM-6 vertical mouldmaking machine,” he says, “which joins a VF-2 vertical machining centre, a VF-2SS super-speed vertical machining centre, a DT-1 drill/tap centre, and
a UMC-750 five-axis universal machining centre that was installed in January 2014. The Haas machines, which run for 10 to 12 hours a day, process all kinds of materials, ranging from plastics and aluminium castings, through brass and steel, to stainless steel and hard alloys. Batch sizes are anything up to 1000-off.” Mr. Buss admits he has a soft spot for American engineering. He owns a Ford Mustang and a Jeep, as well as the obligatory Harley Davidson. Of course, he has already visited the Haas factory in Southern California to see where his machines are designed & built. “The story of Haas is very interesting,“ he says. “The company’s history was explained to me, and I have total admiration for what Gene Haas and his colleagues have achieved. The idea of creating a virtually modular machine tool system based on low cost but high quality was a masterstroke. The success of the machines is mirrored by the success of
the company’s NASCAR team, StewartHaas Racing. In fact, NASCAR racing was definitely a highlight of the trip; a unique experience. Utter madness! The whole world is now curious to see if this success can be replicated in Formula One.” Mr. Buss’s love of racing is repeated in his machine shop. As well as mounting several vises on each machine to give high throughput – the UMC-750 houses a pair of vises, the VM-6 has three vises, while the DT-1 has four – the high-speed machining option in the Haas control also features on every machine. The high-speed machining option works by analysing the change in vector direction, or change in angle, from one block to the next. When the change in vector direction is very small, as with code produced by using a small cut tolerance value, the control can interpolate the motion at a higher feedrate than when the change in vector direction is greater. Impressively, the Haas high-speed machining option can process at a speed of up to 1000 blocks per second – that’s one block every one-thousandth of a second! Today, the ISO9001 accredited company run by Mr. Buss has customers as far away as 100 km, securing new contracts largely through recommendation. Mr. Buss concludes: “Put simply, the speed and precision of Haas CNC machine tools – tolerances are often in the realm of 0.005 to 0.01 mm – have made our company the envy of the German subcontract machining industry.” For more information, Website: www.HaasCNC.com

was used to build up the highest levels of expertise, including with modern manufacturing processes. The most recent example of this is laser deposition welding which Hoedtke has added to its range with a LASERTEC 65 3D from DMG MORI. The acquisition of this machine was also in response to the strong interest shown by customers, explains Hoedtke: ‘I was more and more frequently asked if I could provide 3D printing in metal.’ Hoedtke has been printing prototype plastic parts with FDM machines for a long time now. However, the additive manufacturing of metal workpieces on the LASERTEC 65 3D is new. ‘There has been no similar machine concept to date’, says the managing director of the 3D metal printing range. Manufacturing solutions in the metal powder bed were not productive enough for the desired applications. ‘Additionally, practically every metal component produced through additive manufacturing requires surface treatment.’ The machines developed by SAUER can come into their own here. As the basis for the LASERTEC 65 3D, DMG MORI uses a highly stable high-tech universal machine from the DMU range of DECKEL MAHO. The laser head is flexibly integrated through an HSK interface.

The LASERTEC 65 3D combines additive manufacturing with a metal powder feed and 5-axis milling in one set-up, making it possible to produce even complex parts with overhanging structures – practically without supporting geometry. With laser deposition welding, two different materials – stainless steel and copper in this case – can be combined in one component. the metal powder feed are up to ten times higher than the powder bed. Additionally, complete machining on one machine saves both time and money. Joachim H. Hoedtke also sees plus points in the complexity: ‘In principle, no supporting geometry which would later have to be removed is required to realise overhanging structures – unlike with the powder bed.’ It is also possible to combine different materials such as stainless steel and copper in one component. Two powder feeds are available for such a purpose. Joachim H. Hoedtke sees great potential in the concept of the LASERTEC 65 3D and believes that the surface has barely been scratched. This is why Hoedtke has been working closely with the developers at SAUER since acquiring the machine: ‘With samples from our practical work, we will be able to advance the technology further.’ They aim to continuously increase the productivity of the LASERTEC 65 3D.

MTW NOVEMBER 2015
in several applications regarding the trains and, generally, the railway industry. On October 2015 Rollon will attend to the International Railway Equipment Exhibition (IREE) in New Delhi, introducing its solutions dedicated to Railway applications, such as door openings, seat movement, removal of battery packs and underfloor air conditioning systems. Behind every application is an efficient and reliable product which responds to the needs of the manufacturer. Every solution is carefully selected on the basis of the specific needs and main critical areas of the application. Moreover, where necessary, Rollon designs made-toorder products for its customers. Such an ability is the strength of this Italian company, thanks to its internal R&D
department. Rollon’s offering is based on the prevention of risks, thanks to products designed according to the specific needs of each application, capable of drastically reducing the impact of such events. Vibrations, weather conditions, intensive use and corrosion are the factors contributing to malfunction in mechanical parts. Rollon linear guides for the railway sector are designed and made specifically to manage these factors and prevent the potential related risks. Reliability and efficiency are ensured by the strict certified quality controls to which every component produced in the factories is subjected, based on the UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 standards. Lastly, all Rollon components used in applications for different types of trains

TECH UPDATE Rollon guides are even mounted on tables and seats. The COMPACT RAIL roller pin series is the best choice in terms of the quietness and sliding quality it guarantees, thanks to the grinding process undergone by the guides’ raceway. Their compactness is suitable for even small spaces. It is available in different sizes: 18mm, 28mm, 35mm, 43mm, 63mm with a max. operating speed of 9 m/s and roller pins lubricated for life. External applications are the access doors and the automatic retractable step that bridges the gap between the train and the platform. In this case, linear guides need to be able to withstand heavy loads, with minimum bending and maximum resistance to shocks, vibrations, intensive use, corrosion and wear. Rollon offers two main solutions, both with hardened raceways: the ASN telescopic rail series and the SNK recirculating ball bearing linear guides.
Compact Rail is a linear guide with rollers that provides smooth and silent movement. It has hardened and ground raceways and it can manage significative misalignment.
Moreover, for applications involving the expulsion of the external door unit, Rollon recommends a pair of guides from the COMPACT RAIL series, capable of absorbing any misalignment issues. In all these cases, Rollon guides are tested to endure for over 2 million cycles, thus responding to the requirements of even the most demanding players in the sector. Lastly, for the underfloor segment, telescopic guides are used to remove the battery pack and air conditioning equipment. In both cases, continuous

vibrations and shocks have a negative effect on the removal components. The Rollon telescopic rail guides in the DSS series are the most suited to dealing with this kind of issue. These are compact guides with hardened raceways and vertical intermediate elements and which are capable of ensuring extreme rigidity and minimum bending even when subjected to very heavy loads. DSS series has a maximum load capacity of 4908 N. Usually they’re used in pairs, with an overall maximum load capacity of 9816 N. Reduced bending means the manual process of removing components is made much easier and comfortable for operators. Anticorrosion treatment
Corrosion caused by humidity and aggressive agents like salt is one of the main issues affecting mechanical railway components. Rollon has tested and proven the effectiveness of several types of anti-corrosion treatments by using the salt spray fog test in accordance with the UN/ EN ISO 9227 standard. The test guide rails are placed in a test chamber and sprayed by means of a nozzle for the entire duration of the test with a sodium chloride solution (5%) with pH 6.5 and a temperature of 35°C. The quality of the surface protection is measured according to the time of the test and the resistance to corrosion. RollonAloy is an anti-corrosion surface treatment that ensures the functionality and reliability of linear systems, reducing maintenance costs. Guides treated with RollonAloy resist up to 720 hours in salt spray fog, way beyond the expectations of even the most demanding manufacturers. For more information Rollon India Pvt.

ometimes small things turn out to be a big success. And that’s true for the mini chucks. But one thing they haven’t had until now was compatibility with the Hainbuch modular system. That’s no longer the case, and of course this includes both series of chucks: the round Spanntop and the hexagonal profile Toplus. Because of its reduced interference contour, to be able to use the modular system the Spanntop mini chuck comes with an adapter ring. The existing Mando Adapt mandrel and jaw module work perfectly with the new Spanntop mini. The Toplus version does not use an adapter ring, instead it has ring of attachment holes for fixing the jaw module, and next year it will get its own Mando Adapt series of adapters. And finally, as another piece of good news, Spanntop and Toplus minis both have full through-bore and are available in three standard lengths to suit all machines and drawtubes.
These two factors play an ever more important role in any machining process. Tool accessibility and low energy consumption are key criteria for modern workholding making them ready for the challenges of the future. Increasingly parts have smaller dimensions and higher tolerances than in the past, So the emphasis is no longer on the chuck size but rather on the complete process. Thanks to greater tool accessibility, the mini chucks can use shorter and therefore more stable tools on the main and counter spindles. This again has a direct influence on the surface finish. Not only is the mass reduced by over 38%, the chuck diameter and the total lengths have also been considerably reduced [by a third or a quarter]. So the “little” chucks make a “big” difference. The reduced interference contour makes it easier to choose the right tool and this helps with the issue of reduced space especially in counter spindle machines. The reduced mass is also results in lower energy consumption especially in mass production. Because spindle acceleration and deceleration are more dynamic this shortens the cycle times, and all this contributes to lowering the cost per workpiece.

Grooving & Cut-Off Made easy - Beyond Evolution™ Game-changing design brings true ease of use, notably fewer components, and high performance in multiple applications
I
n a manufacturing world of growing complexity, a straightforward solution that works excellently and saves money can be a breath of fresh air. In grooving and cutoff, Beyond Evolution™ from Kennametal is that solution. “What would it take to launch the world’s best grooving and cutoff system?” asks Kennametal senior product manager Mark Filosemi. “We began with the expected - longer tool life and higher cutting speed. But our customers added something different. They wanted simple. That was it. They wanted to stop leafing through hundreds of pages of catalogs and thousands of items because it was difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.” Easy to choose, easy to use became the foundation of Beyond Evolution’s development. The goal to offer a system that was less complicated to navigate and select, complimented by an equally simple approach to using it. “But we didn’t stop there,” Filosemi adds. In developing Beyond Evolution, the team questioned every detail to enhance our customer’s experience. With deep
design and innovative engineering experience, Kennametal pioneered the most versatile high-performance platform to enter the market. Proprietary Triple V
Beyond Evolution is a single-sided grooving and cutoff system for deeper grooving capability than double-ended systems. A proprietary “Triple V” design with top, bottom, and backside V-shaped seating in the holder pocket creates a pull-in effect for exceptionally high stability for deep grooving, face grooving, side turning, and profiling, among other applications. The results:
Beyond Evolution will groove deeper than double-ended systems, turn with 90% of the stability and allow interchangeability regardless of geometry or application. It offers tighter indexing tolerances, longer cutting depths, and new plunge and turn geometries. The most visible result of Beyond Evolution’s “one system for all applications” design is the most requested – fewer items, up to 35% compared to competitors. This makes Beyond Evolution easy to choose in addition to easy to use, reducing inventory and expenses.
And where conventional product launches focus on a single line item, Beyond Evolution will be launched in multiple grades for dozens of applications – a full line offering that promises higher performance and reduced costs immediately. Innovations 2016 and NOVO
Whether you’re digitally native or prefer print, much more information, including grade descriptions, feed and speed recommendations, and full ordering information is available in the new Innovations 2016 catalog from Kennametal – an invaluable resource for the latest advances across the entire range of Kennametal applications. Moreover, Beyond Evolution is available through NOVO™, Kennametal’s digital process knowledge application. With powerful process knowledge available on iPad™ and other digital devices, NOVO helps users define machining features, such as profiling or grooving in specific work materials, and then immediately reduces the product set to those like Beyond Evolution that can do the job.

Custom All-Electric tube bender will accelerate Right-First-Time production for Precision Metal Fabricator Unison’s US support office receives first order – just weeks after opening!
U
nison’s new North American support office in Asheville, NC, has received its first order for an all-electric CNC tube bending machine, just five weeks after opening. The order was placed by Byers Precision Fabricators, Inc., of Hendersonville, NC, for a versatile dual-head machine that is capable of meeting a diverse range of tube and pipe bending needs. Byers Precision Fabricators produces components and assemblies mainly from sheet and tubular aluminium and stainless steel. Most tubular parts are fabricated from 3/8 to 1-inch ANSI Schedule 40 or 80 stainless steel pipe stock. Until now, Byers has outsourced the bulk of its tube and pipe bending needs to third-party suppliers, except for a small amount of work which it produces using manual bending techniques. However, this approach was becoming increasingly expensive and created production bottlenecks. As Roger Byers, President of Byers Precision Fabricators, explains, “Bringing our tube bending operations in-house greatly enhances our flexibility to meet complex shape requirements, tight delivery schedules and last-minute design changes – which is important for several of our customers in processing sectors such as nuclear power. It also allows us to broaden our range of fabrication services, which is critical for a subcontracting workshop like ours. We

chose a Unison machine primarily on the strength of its performance and the company’s reputation. Unison’s support is also proving exemplary – the company has even handled some specialist pipe part production to help us, until we take delivery of the machine in a couple of months. This level of support is way beyond that of many machine tool manufacturers, and we look forward to a successful partnership.” Byers operates a modern machine shop, and is renowned for maintaining a pristine work environment. From the outset, the company was keen to avoid the type of hydraulic tube benders that are used by many fabricators, which are notoriously noisy and difficult to keep clean. It was also deterred by the difficulty of obtaining accurate and repeatable results from hydraulic machines. Avoiding material wastage was another factor – hydraulic tube bending often necessitates multiple trial runs before a good part that meets specification can be produced. Having chosen to adopt all-electric CNC tube bending technology, Byers looked at various manufacturers and singled out Unison’s machines as the best on the market. It also found that Unison was prepared to develop a bending solution to meet specific application needs. The fact that the company has just opened a support office in Asheville, a short drive from Byers’ facility in Hendersonville, was the final clincher.
The machine for Byers is a version of the 2-inch (50 mm) capacity CNC all-electric tube bender from Unison’s Breeze range, customised to maximise versatility of use. The machine features two independent bend heads that provide both left-hand (CCW) and right-hand (CW) bending to accommodate the most complex shape requirements, and is capable of handling many popular tube and pipe sizes – including 1.5 inch Schedule 40 stainless steel stock with an outside diameter of 1.9 inches. The machine bed is designed to accommodate tube lengths up to 20 feet. Some of the more specialist parts that Byers currently produces feature a variety of complex closely-spaced bends, with radii as small as 60 mm. The Unison tube bender will enable the company to produce these parts very efficiently in a single uninterrupted machine cycle. Single-piece part fabrication will also help Byers to further increase the speed and efficiency of production by eliminating multiple cut-to-length and welding operations. A further advantage of the Unison machine is its fully automated, software-controlled setup. Byers produces parts in a wide range of batch sizes, even in single or very small quantities, so machine setup time has a major bearing on productivity. The machine that is being supplied to Byers can typically be reconfigured by a single operator in less than 15 minutes.
TECH UPDATE www.mtwmag.com
To help maximise throughput and accelerate right-first-time production of parts, both bend heads on the machine will be equipped with Unison’s unique laser-based spring-back measurement and correction system. This helps to ensure bending precision by automatically compensating for the natural tendency of metal tubes to spring back slightly after being bent – eliminating costly scrap. Unison will also be supplying a comprehensive control and support software package. In addition to Unison’s Windows-based Unibend machine control software, this will include internet-based remote diagnostics and video monitoring facilities, as well as a powerful Op2Sim 3D tube bending simulator. The simulation software uses a CAD (computer aided design) model of the bending machine to generate detailed video imagery. It offers collision detection facilities, with user-adjustable parameters for real-world environmental factors such as the distances between the tube centreline and the ceiling, floor and walls of the workshop, and has in-built artificial intelligence to reiterate bend cycles until a successful solution is found. The simulator will enable Byers to develop production-ready tube bending programs offline, without needing to test and optimise them on the bending machine, saving valuable production time. The data for bending programs and simulation can be input manually from customers’ drawings, derived from CAD models of parts, or obtained by reverse-engineering existing components using Byers’ tactile or laser-based CMMs (coordinate measuring machines). According to Jeff Cox, a member of Byers’ CAD/CAM Department, “The bending machine will be networked to our CAD/CAM facilities – Unison is handling the system integration aspect. About 90 percent of our customers submit drawings, and most of these are backed
by CAD models. We use SolidWorks CAD software extensively for design and development work, so we have also ordered the TubeWorks add-in software from Unison. This will enable us to extract manufacturing information such as tube specifications and CNC bending data direct from the CAD models in a matter of minutes, accelerating our RFQ (request for quotation) procedures.” Dale Coates, responsible for market development at Unison’s Asheville office, points out that the Byers order is a significant milestone in Unison’s history. “This is the first order that Unison has received following its decision to open a direct sales channel in the US and comes from a renowned manufacturer. We are also delighted to announce that Byers has agreed to act as a reference site for Unison. Its Hendersonville facility is only 15 miles from our office and we look forward to showing our bending machinery operating in such a modern fabrication environment.” About Byers Precision Fabricators

Unison started in business by developing control systems for metalworking machinery – supplying a number of prominent UK machine manufacturers in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1991 the company moved into machinery design, focusing on machines for tube bending. At that time, tube bending machines were powered hydraulically. In the early 1990s Unison invented a range of machines employing electrical servo-motors for controlling bending motion. These were the world’s first ‘allelectric’ machines for tube bending. The performance of Unison’s new machine design – with its fast and repeatable software-controlled setup, right-first-time action, low power consumption, and quiet and clean operation – was an instant success. The company has progressively led the tube bending machinery industry by increasing the tubing diameters that can be formed using all-electric motion and is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of tube bending machines and associated software. In 2014, Unison took another quantum leap in tube bending machine performance by developing a servomotor-powered machine architecture that is capable of bending thick-walled piping with diameters of 10 inches/273 mm and more. The company opened its own direct support centre in North America in 2015.

work. Crystal Brite EDM is suitable for both roughing and finishing applications. The extremely low viscosity of this dielectric fluid, combined with its low specific gravity, makes both flushing and filtration fast and efficient. The result is higher metal-removal rates. Filtration efficiency benefits from lower carbon and residue formation. The filter lasts longer, and particulate matter is prevented from returning to the interface between the electrode and the workpiece. With proper filtration, this fluid will last indefinitely. Crystal Brite EDM is safe and operator friendly. The odorless fluid contains no solvent-based hydrocarbons, which helps eliminate skin irritation and reduces oil mist and exposure to solvent vapour. It is not to be mixed with water. Hangsterfer’s Laboratories supplies a full range of metalworking fluids, including coolant concentrates, cutting oils, metal-forming compounds, machine lubricants, dielectric fluids, rust inhibitors, solvent- alternative cleaners, and specialty additives, and also offers a line of complementary equipment. The products work well with aluminium, carbon steel, cast iron, chrome alloys, composites, copper, magnesium, nickel alloys, stainless steel, and titanium alloys.

Innovations in centerless grinding machine and its operations by Harsh Badani, Technical Director, Solitaire Machine Tools Ltd., Vadodara
C
enterless Grinding operation is a mass production process in which cylindrical components are ground without reference to center. This operation is used as the final process in majority of the components where the tolerances and the quality parameter are stringent. The grinding process is basically designed for mass production. As the cost of manufacturing is increasing, the users are trying to extract more & more production from a grinder in order to lower the cost per piece. The user feedback and experiences highlighted the problems faced during day to day work, and solutions need to be implemented for future expansion projects and existing machinery.
Below are some suggestions, to improve the quality level and productivity, while bringing down costs in Centerless grinding:
• Land costs are at an all-time high, which necessitates the reduction of machine foot print and floor space dedicated to a single machine. • In any centerless grinding operation, the major non-productive time is the dressing time. Hence, a method needs to be devised so that the dressing time also can be used productively.

MTW NOVEMBER 2015
Diamond Roll Dresser • As the working cost is increasing, more automation is required so that an operator can run more than one machine. • With cost of power increasing all around the world, more energy efficient motors should be explored. • The fuel prices are increasing at a phenomenal rate and it is essential to produce fuel efficient vehicles. This calls for components with higher quality standards and a need to explore different materials to reduce vehicle weight. Consequently, machines with capability to grind these components efficiently need to be devised. To resolve the above issues, our engineers did brain storming and devised various options:
1. To reduce the floor space there should
not be any compromise in terms of the rigidity and stock removal capabilities of the grinder. We designed a grinder similar in size to our smallest model. At the same time, we increased its rigidity by adding weight to make it equivalent to our bigger sized model. The center of gravity was kept constant at the working area so that the vibrations would always be at that point. The vibration analysis was conducted to ensure that it was maintained at a very low level. 2. Total Usage Time = Productive Time + Non-Productive Time (Dressing Time) The challenge for us was to convert the non-productive time into productive time. To achieve the same, we designed a diamond roll dresser for the machine. The CNC controls were programmed in a manner that when
TECH UPDATE www.mtwmag.com
Linear Guideway
Servo Regulating Wheel Drive the dressing is done on the wheel, grinding of the component is also in process. Therefore, the total usage time is now equal to the productive time. This enables the customer to grind more components. The savings was substantial in terms of productivity. 3. Working Cost = Running Cost (Power + Employees + Overheads) + Consumables (Hydraulic Oil + Coolant + Grinding wheel + Regulating Wheel + Diamond Dresser) To reduce the working cost of a machine, it is important to reduce all the above costs
to an optimum level. A. Power Cost: The maximum power consuming motor is the grinding wheel motor. We procure the motor such that during idling time of grinder in each cycle it would draw very low current, while providing full torque during the grinding process. Such motors have rating of Eff 1 or better. The other options include soft start for grinding wheel motor or Variable Frequency Drive for regulating and grinding wheel motor. These options avoid peak current required for startup of the motor. B. Employees Cost: Machine automation is designed in such a way that the operator can run more than one machine at a time. In mass production plants, the focus is to have one skilled person to look after the setting and inspection of finished components for all grinders. Loading, unloading and other routine operations are done by unskilled employees. CNC options also reduce the operator intervention to a large extent and thereby reduce the cost. At the time when customer sends the plant layout, we give suggestions and inputs to reduce material handling and make it ergonomically convenient in order to reduce operator fatigue. Variable Frequency Drive is installed
to achieve Constant Surface Speed for Grinding Wheel. This helps in reducing the dressing frequency even when the wheel diameter is reduced. Hence, the grinding wheel is used to its optimum level. C. The other consumables like oil, coolant, diamonds and wheels are selected with the help of various manufacturers’ input and expertise, to suit each application. 4. The increase in fuel prices and depreciation of Indian currency has put a lot of burden on manufacturers to improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles. This calls for more close tolerance in manufacturing parts. Quality Parameters are a combination of Size Tolerance, Roundness, Cylindricity and Surface Finish. We use Precision Linear Guideways to achieve practically friction free movement. This enables the slide to move with high accuracy, as close as 0.25 microns and helps in maintaining size in close tolerance. To achieve roundness in 1 to less than 1 micron, it is necessary to have rigid spindles and vibration free grinding. We mount Automatic Wheel balancers, which balance wheel with vibration level less than 1 micron. This also helps improve Cylindricity. Coolant supply while dressing the wheel has to be forced at the point of contact of diamond and wheel. Proper forced coolant supply helps to dress well, which in turn helps in improving surface finish on component. Coolant supply during grinding is conventionally done by free flow of coolant on the part. Due to air turbulence because of wheel rotation, most of the coolant does not reach the actual grinding area. With redesigned nozzles and flapper to stop air turbulence, the coolant now reaches grinding hot spot to almost 90% level. The overheating of parts and burning marks are reduced and surface finish improved. The above are some of the innovations & adaptations incorporated in the machine to meet the demand of the industry for better & greener tomorrow.

The USP of the company is Water soluble metal working fluids. These oils are blended with superior naphthenic base oil along with world class additives. The most selling product is ST KOOL ECO SS. This is semi synthetic water soluble cutting oil with its extreme performance features. This has got near to transparent emulsion, which exhibits excellent flushing power. This product is fortified with EP and anti-wear additive for extended tool life. Another concern area with any metal working fluid is of sump life. Being water based system the sump is always prone to bacterial attack. This anaerobic bacterium is so dangerous & never gives time to take any protective action, in case bacterial attack is there in sump. The whole sump gets blackened along with foul smell. In metal working industries it is also called as “Monday Morning Odour”. This bacterium is generally incubated when there is no supply of air. Generally after weekly holiday or series of holidays, one has to change the complete sump, incurring huge losses. This problem also activates the rusting of components as well as costly machines, which further aggravate the problem.
The bacterial attack is because of various reasons: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Lower Concentration of Oil in Sump Drop in Ph Extra ordinary Stoppage of Machine Ineffective filtration in sump Ingression of foreign material in sump Lower quality of cutting oil
Above problems can always be avoided with the following measures:

a. Always maintain the concentration as per advised by oil manufacturer. b. In case of Prolong holidays, either run the coolant pump or maintain sufficient concentration on last working day. c. Regular check the Ph of emulsion. d. Use good quality of cutting oil. ST KOOL ECO SS provides the best solution against bacterial attack in sump. This Metal working fluid has excellent reserve alkanity, which does not allow bacteria to grow in the system. This feature supports in absorbing foreign material in emulsion which leads to drop in Ph. As mentioned above drop in Ph always invites the bacterial for party & growing up. The selection of world’s best additives provides the assurance of non-problematic working for longer & longer period, thus maintaining its vision of: YOUR PARTNER IN INCREASING PROFITS BY VALUE ENGINEERING.
