The machine tool industry faces two major challenges today. One is that technological change in machine tools has changed character in recent years. After more than a century of evolutionary progress, mainly involving mechanization and improved control of mass production, the main progress in machine tools in the last two decades has involved automation and mechanization of small and medium scale production, largely in connection with the introduction of numerical control and also other aspects of the microelectronic revolution. This change in the character and direction of technological change is forcing profound changes both within the industry and in its relationship with users. The other problem is that the competitive situation in the world market is changing rapidly, causing severe adjustment problems for most producers. Even though this is an industry in which foreign trade has always been significant, the emergence of new competitors (particularly Japan in numerically controlled machine tools and newly industrialized countries in conventional machine tools) with new strategies and new kinds of specialization has made for radical changes in the competitive situation for most machine tool firms.

Technology-gap is one major issue. To have an efficient model or mechanism for companies, they need to improve their own technology. Supply-chain is another issue. Payments and taxation and procurement are the other issues. The biggest lesson the industry learnt was the danger of over-dependence on any single market segment. Until a year ago the machine tool industry was heavily dependent on automobile and auto components manufacturers for orders. Today, because of the downturn, which badly hit the automobile sector, machine tool manufacturers have reduced their dependence on this sector and turned to other customer segments. The future of the machine tools industry lies in automation of processes in manufacturing and engineering sectors. Automation in the manufacturing process would optimize costs, reduce scrap and improved machine usage.

Combination processing – a key to efficient production
Modular automation cells – compact, productive The loading options of the ML235 are modular, too. Standardised automation cells with rotary magazine, cage stacking magazine or linear automation for manual loading or process supply of up to two production cells with components. Raw parts and machined parts are always completely separated without a risk of mix-up. Traceability through consistent batch management is a matter, of course.
BUDERUS solves complex tasks such as gear wheels from passenger car gearboxes, the functional surfaces of which have to be machined to precise dimensions as quickly as possible, using the modular principle. Thus external and internal grinding can take place simultaneously. The front and rear faces are turned and, if necessary, the bore hole can also be honed in the same clamping.

COVER STORY
Mastercam: An intelligent
CAD/CAM system for smart manufacturing Q. MASTERCAM has gained substantial market share in the machine tool industry. What is the software’s background and some of its milestones? Mastercam launched more than 35 years ago, started by a machinist and his mathematician brother. Mark and Jack Summers saw Mastercam as a way to bring the power of CNC programming to as many shops as possible. From the beginning, we had a two-prong strategy to ensure we delivered what customers need – direct feedback from shops and an experienced, local support network. Today we rely on the same strategy. We work with thousands of shops around the world to ensure they have they tools they need to succeed and back up those shops with local experts who can help them make the most of their investment. We remain dedicated to constantly making the software easier and more intelligent, and the machining faster and more efficient with less wear and tear on machines and tools. Mastercam has introduced several pieces of technology in the
44
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD
AUGUST 2019
last few years that assist with this need. The most game changing has been Dynamic MotionTM technology to create material-aware toolpaths where the tool engagement angle constantly changes to keep a consistent chip load on the tool and use more flute length. The result is a faster machine time, reduced machine tool wear, and extended tool life. Another milestone advancement in CAD/CAM is Accelerated FinishingTM. This technique delivers better finishes in a much shorter time on a variety of complex surfaces. With new classes of shaped tools being introduced, we work closely with tool manufacturers to develop toolpath motion that takes the most advantage of what can be done with these emerging tool shapes. Q. Please brief us about company’s global reach & what are the global alliances that have been made in order to outperform the competition? Mastercam currently has more than 260,000 global installations, making it the most widely used CAM software brand according to
independent research company CIMdata, inc. This gives us unmatched insight into the needs of machinists and lets us shop-test new and innovative techniques in more practical situations than any other CAM software. Keeping in line with our original philosophy, we also have the largest number of global service and support organizations in the CAM industry; nearly 440. These local organizations provide Mastercam expertise to shops, help them with challenging manufacturing issues, and in many cases act as partners to help them get the most from their software and hardware. We extend this view of partnerships to hardware and software producers across the industry. Our open architecture lets innovative developers create highly specialized programming tools that run directly within Mastercam. We work directly with equipment and machine tool manufacturers to make sure Mastercam users will be able to get every bit of benefit possible from that equipment, and we have close partnerships with the

leading tooling manufacturers. These relationships have dramatic benefits for everyone involved. As an example, we have worked so closely with some tooling manufacturers that both the tooling and our software were changed and improved as a result, delivering new options to shops they otherwise would not have had. Q. What are the market prospects for the MASTERCAM products in India and how do you plan to position these products? Indian manufacturing under the Make in India initiative are very promising for Mastercam. We expect a continued expanding manufacturing sector in 2019 followed by an even stronger 2020. Automotive, aviation, and electronics are just a few of the sectors that we are looking at to deliver steady, sustained growth. As the world’s most widely used CAM software, we’re fortunate to have an enormous pool of practical shop experience in a variety of industries on which to draw. This is invaluable in determining the changing needs of specific industries. We use this collaboration with our user community, combined with our internal expertise, to provide the tools that those industries need to thrive. Q) Can you brief us about the marketing strategies that were applied in order to stand out in the competition of the industry? We see three critical components that have helped make Mastercam successful in India. First, we forged a strong and wide-reaching sales and support partnership in India to ensure
46
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD
AUGUST 2019
Mastercam users will have the technical backing they need to succeed. Mastercam India ( www. mastercamapac.com) brings decades of CAM expertise to a thriving market. Second, we carefully watch the changing Indian manufacturing sectors, evaluate what specific applications they need to reach their goals, and provide focus in those areas. Third, we work with our Indian users as partners to gain insight into what they need to expand their current business, enter into new sectors of manufacturing, and improve their day-to-day operation. Q. What are the R&D and Quality policy for your business? We have rigorous and demanding R&D and Quality processes for Mastercam. New features are developed in two ways. First, our internal experts propose new ideas and concepts for programming based on emerging manufacturing trends. Second, we get feedback and suggestions directly from users. As we refine these ideas, we test them at our in-house Manufacturing Lab. This is a fully equipped machine shop that mixes the latest in machine tool technology with common “work-horse” machines so we can test new ideas in a variety of real-world shop conditions. We rotate the machines out of our shop on a 12- to 18-month cycle to help ensure we have wide variety on which to test. Once proven out, the software goes to our extensive Beta Testing community – Mastercam shops across the globe that want to use and dissect the latest CAM technology.
That feedback is brought back and then goes through a final rigorous testing phase, with new refinements always available to Beta users for testing on the shop floor. Q. What are the key technological trends that are driving your industry? The main trend remains the same as it has been for quite some time. That is a constant drive to increase productivity through faster and more flexible manufacturing output. This remains a common trend among all shops regardless of industry. Another rapidly growing trend we see embraced by Make in India is manufacturing connectivity, commonly called Industry 4.0. We address this by focusing on where Mastercam can accept and output information, and how that information can be used and coordinated elsewhere in a shop’s process as needed. Mastercam powers the machine tools, but that is just one part of what a shop needs to do. Mastercam also provides a platform for the shop to do a variety of things like metrology, robotics or digital tool management—all of these pieces add to the growing connectivity of Industry 4.0. Q. What is your vision for MASTERCAM? In India, our goal is to empower manufacturing with superior products and support. No matter the industry, shop size, or manufacturing challenge, some things are consistent in every shop across the globe. Our vision for Mastercam in India is the same as it is anywhere people need to make parts – to create software and services that solve the world’s manufacturing challenges.

generally supply within a very short period when required or else we fly them in express from our external warehouses in Dallas, Shanghai and Iga. There is always still the option of customized repair. This might involve a special spindle that we have installed at the request of the customer. Anyway, in such cases we recommend end customers to purchase a replacement spindle when they buy the machine. Q. What basically sets DMG MORI spindles apart from those of thirdparty suppliers? Our spindles are characterized by durability, torque and performance, optimum thermal behavior and lower failure rates. We work continuously on further development and thanks to our large range of spindles our customers always find a customized solution in line with their applications. Our service also benefits from our expertise as a manufacturer of spindles, which is why we rank at least a league higher than third-party suppliers where quality is concerned. We only ever use original spare parts for our repairs and can eliminate the risk of subsequent damage. A third-party supplier does not have the possibility of supplying brand new replacement spindles. Many customers who have had experience with third-party providers come back to DMG MORI again. Either they were not satisfied with the quality or the supposed better price turned out to by a lot higher than ours because of reworking that had to be paid for—we hear that last comment very often. Our experience indicates that this all adds to a better and more sustainable result. After all, nobody knows the heart of a machine as well as its manufacturer.

AUGUST 2019
Q. Does DMG MORI only ever use its own spindles or do you also buy from outside (for which machines/ applications)? One of our long-standing partners and suppliers is Kessler, whose spindles are always either new or further developments of DMG MORI and Kessler. If requested to do so by our customers, we also install spindles from external suppliers. Q. You have developed a new material for spindle bearings in cooperation with Schaeffler (Vacrodur). What are the benefits of these bearings? The development has resulted in exceptionally high hardness values of over 65 HRC. The load capacity, wear-resistance and thermal stability of these spindle bearings are all extremely high. DMG MORI spindles have a 13-times longer nominal service life with “elastohydrodynamic“ (kurz EHD) lubrication. The dynamic loadbearing capacity—compared to 100Cr6- rolling bearing steel has been increased by a factor of 2.4. Thermal stability is guaranteed up to 400° C. I know of no other spindle from the competition that is anywhere near as resilient and powerful. Q. Can older spindles also be retrofitted with these bearings (during servicing/maintenance) or are they only intended for new spindles? Due to the generously dimensioned bearing design, you would have to make structural changes to the existing spindle. This would be possible in some cases if requested or required. To date only one type of older generation spindle has been retrofitted with this new bearing
generation with Vacrodur. Q. What is the average runtime of a spindle before it needs servicing? That depends on the degree of stress the spindle is exposed to. Both the predominant speed range and the material to be machined play a key role in this respect. The MASTER spindles of the new generation currently have a failure rate of less than 1%. The 11,000 MASTER spindles that leave the DMG MORI factory every year are clear confirmation of customer satisfaction. Q. What role does the topic of teleservice / remote monitoring of spindles and machines play for the spindle service, with regard to early detection of a potential problem? The role of our NETservice is gaining in importance here, especially in view of automation solutions. Vibration, temperature and torque are monitored with the aid of the MPC (Machine Protection Control). The system has an emergency shutdown function in case of a crash. Our service can offer active support with production problems by checking the MPC vibration data. Customers can also display and evaluate their spindle data in real time using special software solutions. Q. Are customers willing to open themselves or their systems up for this? In Europe the connectivity rate of NETservice is currently around 45%. We are seeing a growing interest here, because customers increasingly appreciate the benefits. Connectivity will increase significantly as Industry 4.0 progresses to reach well over 50% by the end of the year. Other

markets like China are still in the rollout phase, but we expect a similar development there in the long term. Q. If a customer suffers damage or has a crash – what is the ideal (service) procedure? Notification of the damage is submitted to the regional service company. This is followed by an analysis of the damage and identification of the spare parts. Service then uses these results to generate a quotation for the spare parts and service required, which is confirmed by the customer. Delivery of the spare parts is effected within 24 hours, with receipt followed immediately by the service replacement assignment. Q. Where do you carry out the service/maintenance work on the spindles? We have three Spindle Competence Centers in Germany for servicing: in Pfronten, Bielefeld and Wernau.
Q. You offer a 36-month warranty with no hourly limit for MASTER spindles. Is this period valid only for new spindles or overhauled ones as well? The 36-month warranty is only valid for new spindles of the latest machines. Overhauled spindles are still granted a 9-month warranty with unlimited hours. Q. What is the current percentage of MASTER spindles from all machines sold? Over 95% of all DMG MORI metal cutting machines are equipped with motor spindles from the MASTER series. The vast majority of these originate from our production locations in Iga and Pfronten, where 7,000 or rather 4,000 of these spindles are produced a year.
Q. You promise new & replacement spindles within 24 hours. How long does a customer have to calculate on average for a repair and how big is the average saving? The actual repair of the spindle (after receipt in the plant) takes around three working days plus two days for the dismounting and mounting of the spindle by a service technician. The cost saving compared to a new spindle is on average 40%. Q. Do you offer your service only for new (or younger) machines or for all machines? We offer our service for all machines—both technical support and the provision of spare parts. Our customers expect absolute reliability, maximum workpiece accuracy and durability. 100% satisfied customers take top priority at DMG MORI. Every individual customer is important to us and therefore also the customer’s machinery.
The 11,000 MASTER spindles that leave the company’s plants every year, are clear confirmation of customer satisfaction with the DMG MORI Spindle Service.

Inhibitors against cobalt uptake
A
large percentage of industrial cutting tools used to drill, cut, grind, and mill metals are made of tungsten carbide particles held together by a cobalt bonding agent. In a few instances the bonding agent may be nickel or platinum. The drilling, cutting, milling, or other metal working step requires the application of a liquid coolant or lubricant at the area of contact between the metal surface being machined and the drilling, cutting or milling tool. Although water or mineral oil can be used alone as a coolant or lubricant the practice has been to add compounds which increase the lubricity and cooling ability of the liquid and which delay its deterioration. These added compounds often, however, contain sequestering (chelating) agents and moities such as sulfur, chlorine, carboxyl groups and hydroxyl ions. It has been observed that when cutting, drilling or milling tools which are made up of tungsten carbide particles bonded with cobalt or nickel metal are exposed to these cutting fluids containing chelating agents or moities such as sulfur, chlorine, carboxyl groups and hydroxyl ions, the cobalt or nickel is leached away. Leaching of the cobalt or nickel metrix from the tool leaves a residue of carbide particles and results in premature failure of the tool. The presence of sequesterants or moities in the coolant or lubricant, as well as the mere presence of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in a water-base cutting fluid, are thought to be responsible for the leaching of cobalt (or nickel). In the field of water-miscible cooling lubricants, non-ferrous metal inhibitors are also often used to
54
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD
AUGUST 2019
prevent the uptake of cobalt, e.g. to prevent during carbide machining. Comparable compounds are also available for use in non-watermiscible coolants. The mode of action distinguishes between different groups of inhibitors: • Elma Co-nserve form a passivating protective film on the metal surface, which prevents the release of metal ions. Typical examples of this class of substances are the Elma Co-nserve and their derivatives, which also have a complexing effect. • Chelating agents (e.g., N, N’disalicylidene compounds) together with the metal ions form very stable complexes which are insoluble in the base liquid and can sink to the bottom or be filtered off.
The derivatives of Elma Co-nserve alone have a marked effect in reducing the cobalt-leaching effect. By selecting the optimal compound, a re-
duction of cobalt uptake of more than 95% is possible. Other compounds of this type, however, seem to force the cobalt uptake strongly. The chelate complex-forming N, N’-disalicylidene has only a slight effect, the thiadiazoles, which neutralize active sulfur compounds, remain naturally ineffective here. The subsequent addition of amine / phenolic antioxidants shows no effect, if the cobalt dissolving acidic compounds are already present. The phosphate ester, the effect of which was rather doubtful even as a nonferrous metal inhibitor, shows an antagonistic effect here by strong cobalt whitening. In another experiment, gray castings were added to the solutions described above to provide the resulting cobalt complexes with a suitable substrate for attachment. However, even after a further 168 h, this did not lead to any measurable reduction in the cobalt concentrations in the test substances. In a supplementary test series, it was tested whether a high concentration of cobalt in a cooling lubricant can also be subsequently precipitated by adding a suitable inhibitor. For this purpose, a mineral oil with a high cobalt-dissolving compound and cobalt powder was heated to 100 ° C for 24 hours. After cooling the solution, which had a cobalt concentration of 600 ppm, various inhibitors were added and the cobalt concentrations were determined after storage over 144 h and 288 h at room temperature after filtration by means of RFA. Here, too, it was found that the film-forming Elma Co-nserve derivatives, which also have complex-forming properties, have the best effectiveness. However,

CASE STUDY
How MMK raised the bar for rotary table accuracy
Using Renishaw solutions, MMK has empowered machine tool makers and users to accurately track and control CNC rotary table indexing and improve performance
C
NC rotary tables play a vital role in the performance of multi-axis machining centres. As table accuracy and reliability are of paramount concern throughout the product’s lifetime, Matsumoto Machine Corporation (MMK) has taken a pragmatic two-pronged approach to reducing indexing errors and improving performance. By enhancing both product calibration and encoder technologies the company has set new standards for rotary table accuracy. Background Founded in Japan in 1948, Matsumoto Machine Corporation is a technologyleading provider of innovative, high quality jaw chucks and numerically controlled rotary tables used by industrial machine tool makers throughout the world. A key feature of MMK’s CNC rotary tables is a patented worm and wheel gear assembly developed by OTT GmbH, Germany. Unlike double lead worm gears, the OTT worm and wheel gear is able to minimise backlash, ensuring outstanding accuracy and long life, efficiency and durability. Shaped in order to maximise gear
60
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD
AUGUST 2019
surface contact area, thereby reducing adverse surface pressure effects, the OTT worm gear teeth are split into separate right and left parts (shank worm and hollow worm) connected by a span ring. This unique structure enables backlash adjustment simply by reducing the distance between the two parts. This design also ensures that only one side of a worm gear tooth is in contact with the wheel gear, leaving a clearance on the other side. As a result, the 2-piece split gear design will not seize up, even with zero backlash. A further advantageous characteristic of the MMK CNC rotary table is a large diameter through-hole in the table spindle. This greatly increases machine versatility and rigidity, supporting a wider variety of chucks and jigs and the machining of
longer workpieces. By enabling most metal-machining operations to be undertaken on a single machine, the benefits of MMK CNC rotary table are far-reaching. These include the time and cost saving of single machine set-up and single fixturing setup, reduced parts handling and the elimination of tolerance errors as workpieces pass from machine to machine. Of critical importance in this one-hit machining centre scenario is ensuring the high accuracy of CNC rotary table indexing and control throughout its working lifetime. Challenge As with any form of precision equipment that is integrated into a machining centre by a third party machine tool maker, and which in turn is used by an end user in any number of industrial sectors, assuring consistent accuracy and performance over time presents a challenge. As with a machine tool’s linear XYZ axes, the rotary axis is just as susceptible to uncontrollable events that may introduce angular positioning or axis alignment errors. Risking the production of defects in finished parts,

CASE STUDY these errors can be due to a number of reasons including, mistakes made in the initial machine installation, impact damage caused by collision or general wear-and-tear in use. With its global reputation for product quality and design innovation, MMK therefore sought to equip its CNC rotary tables with a highly accurate and reliable means of tracking and controlling the indexing of its product throughout its lifetime, irrespective of the type of machine tool, workpiece complexity and duty cycle. At the same time, in an increasingly competitive global market for CNC rotary tables, MMK also wanted to further enhance its product quality inspection processes. Specifically, the company set itself the task of augmenting index angle measurement as a key component of pre-shipment quality assurance procedures. Solution To provide machine tool makers and users with the ability to accurately track and control CNC rotary table indexing, MMK elected to integrate Renishaw’s super-compact TONiC™ non-contact optical incremental encoder system. Simple to install and with a compact readhead measuring just 35 mm x 13.5 mm x 10 mm, the TONiC encoder presented MMK with a minimal footprint solution capable of supporting machine speeds up to 10 m/s and resolutions down to 1 nm. The rotary table readhead was designed to be used in conjunction with Renishaw’s RESM, a one-piece stainless steel ring marked on its periphery with 20 µm pitch graduations and featuring the IN-TRAC™ optical reference mark. With its low profile, large internal diameter and wide choice of diameters from 52 mm to 550 mm, the high stability RESM ring provided MMK with a versatile and easy to integrate scale
62
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD
AUGUST 2019
that is well-suited to the company’s wide range of CNC rotary tables. For improved reliability and higher immunity to any scale degradation over time, the TONiC readhead incorporates third generation filtering optics, tuned for low noise (jitter) and further enhanced by dynamic signal processing. The outcome is an ultra-low subdivisional error of typically ±30 nm. The TONiC encoder is compatible with industry standard controllers and features a detachable analogue or digital interface inside a robust D-type connector, which can be located up to 10 m from the readhead. MMK selected Renishaw’s compact and lightweight XR20-W rotary axis calibrator to verify the accuracy of its rotary tables during manufacturing and immediately prior to shipment. The XR20-W was used in conjunction with Renishaw’s XL-80 laser interferometer to provide a non-contact reference measurement, independent of the axis under test, with an accuracy of ±1 arc second. Motorised by a servo-controlled drive and with data capture synchronised to axis movement, the XR20-W requires no operator intervention during measurement. Being lithium battery powered and Bluetooth enabled, it ensures quick and easy setup, and the avoidance of trailing cable hazards. The calibrator’s modular design and flexible mounting systems allow far easier setup than alternative solutions and can be readily configured for a wide variety of rotary tables, chucks and spindles.
Results By integrating Renishaw’s TONiC non-contact optical encoder system into its CNC rotary tables, MMK has further assured the accuracy and reliability of its products in the field, along with an overall superior motion control performance. For a wide range of different machine tools and end uses, the rotary tables’ combination of compact readhead and one-piece stainless steel ring scale has delivered a higher level of tolerance to dust, scratches, grease and oil, and a reduction in indexing errors. The encoder system’s ability to output highly stable position signals of unrivalled purity and ultra-low sub-divisional error have provided smoother velocity control, improved scanning performance and increased positional stability. MMK’s introduction of Renishaw’s XR20-W rotary axis calibrator and XL-80 laser interferometer has reduced product measurement times by a half compared to conventional autocollimator techniques. Measurement procedures have been simplified and automated. Capable of taking accurate measurements at any indexing angle pitch, the calibrator enables evaluation of the accuracy of the worm and wheel gear-driven table for ultra-fine pitch measurement movements as small as 0.001°. This has allowed any loss of motion control or worm and wheel gear efficiency to be evaluated in detail and addressed. Product performance is now backed by a thorough analysis meeting ISO quality standards.

Automatic CVTs never interrupt traction and are considered a particularly efficient solution, one reason being that CVTs are very economical, especially within the lowest specific fuel consumption range. The hard fine machining specialists This efficiency is based on the highly accurate machining of the core transmission components, i.e. the taper discs. Over the last couple of years, BUDERUS Schleiftechnik, the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP’s producer of machines for combined hard fine machining processes, has evolved into the taper disc grinding technology leader.

Grinding wheels from NAXOSDISKUS DVS affiliate NAXOS-DISKUS Schleifmittelwerke has designed grinding discs specifically adapted to the workpiece and the material to be removed in the process of simultaneously machining both the tapered surface and the bore. An innovative bonding system produces extremely hard, wearresistant and break-proof tools which support higher cutting speeds and enhanced machining performance. Furthermore, the cooling and flushing nozzles developed by BUDERUS Schleiftechnik minimise the clogging up of the grinding discs which extends the tool service life and reduces the dressing needs. Lower tooling costs thus make taper disc production even more efficient. Sophisticated dressing strategy for high accuracy BUDERUS Schleiftechnik has developed a special dressing strategy in response to the unfavourable diameter ratio across the entire taper width and the ensuing differences in grinding speed along the contact zone. It involves a sophisticated dressing program which controls a dressing roller directly at the tool spindle. The specified surface
Bore and cone are simultaneously processed
roughness is thus achieved across the entire taper width. In-process sensors check the quality and return their readings to the control unit. At the next step, the grooves in the holes are scanned, averaged and ground down to the specified size by a CBN grinding disc. A separate profiled roller dresses the disc. Easily expandable process chain Since this approach allows the taper, drilling and grooves to be machined in a single setup, bad re-chucking is avoided and tolerances on shape and position are highly improved in relation to the reference lines on the workpiece. Owing to the modularity of BUDERUS machines, several machining modules can be installed and used simultaneously. Further grinding spindles, an extra tool spindle or lathing tools can easily be installed
in the same machine, thereby lowering the customer’s space, investment and energy requirements. This endto-end machining strategy also benefits customers by providing shorter non-productive periods, setup and wait times. All in all, BUDERUS Schleiftechnik provides an ideal system solution made up of a sturdy machine, smart technology and tool solutions perfectly matching the special features of every workpiece and able to sustain economically efficient and reliable CVT taper disc machining processes. Thanks to the grinding machine maker’s extensive expertise, even very narrow machining accuracy tolerances can be reliably achieved.

Seventh Axis: The advantages of extruded aluminum profiles
W
hen we consider solutions made of aluminum, the first word that comes to mind is lightness. Nothing could be truer with a specific weight of 2.7 g/ cm³, but if we dig a little deeper, we can discover several other strong points, such as versatility, ductility and resistance to corrosion. We can also find surprising results when we compare the load capacity to that of steel! Introduction The anthropomorphic robot market is growing steadily year after year in several different applications, and the need to expand the range of action of these machines with a seventh axis is also growing. Having the option of moving the robot along a new axis allows us to increase productivity and efficiency. For this reason, Rollon has developed a complete range of seven models in various sizes and with dif-

ferent capacities. All these machines can work with anthropomorphic robots in a range of factories, handling loads of up to 2000 kg. Rollon’s Seventh Axis solutions are all made with extruded aluminum profiles, assembled with connecting crosspieces that endow the system with maximum rigidity. They use rails with recirculating ball bearings and drives that run either with a ground rack with inclined teeth or a toothed belt. Aluminum, steel, and the load capacity Aluminum is the distinctive material of Rollon’s solutions, in a market where many solutions are made of
steel. It’s perfectly natural to ask: “In terms of load capacity, how do seventh axis systems with aluminum profiles compare to steel systems?”. Obviously, steel offers greater mechanical resistance overall, but aluminum, being extremely malleable and flexible, can be extruded to make highly elaborate geometries, which are excellent for guaranteeing the greatest moment of inertia and the least weight possible. On the other hand, steel drawing – or steel processing in general – does not allow the construction of sufficiently complex pieces to guarantee comparable results. This is why aluminum seventh axis systems can

TECH TRENDS quickly gain ground on steel solutions with regard to load capacity, but with an important extra feature: they weigh two and a half times less. The Seventh Axis range from Rollon can manage loads of up to 2000 kg. Now, let’s look at the other advantages of aluminum profiles. Lightness As we said before, lightness is undoubtedly the most important plus: a light seventh axis offers several application-specific advantages, starting with lower transport costs. Moreover, the assembly of a solution weighing almost one third less than a steel solution is inevitably faster, easier, and most importantly, safer. Lastly, lightness is an important competitive advantage in all applications that involve a ceiling or wall mounted system instead of a floor-standing seventh axis system. In these cases, it is not necessary to add a heavy seventh axis in steel to the weight of the robot. Ceiling and wall mounted configurations are very common in painting and welding applications, in the automotive industry, and in other industrial areas. Resistance to corrosion: Steel in its most common form, carbon steel, corrodes on contact with water or in a humid atmosphere. This is why steel solutions destined for

harsh environments require surface treatments that make them resistant to corrosion. These treatments offer different degrees of protection and, naturally, affect the costs of the finish solution and the delivery times. Aluminum oxidizes naturally on contact with air, and is not altered by humidity: it is resistant to corrosion and does not require any other treatment. A simple neutral anodizing treatment is usually done, purely for aesthetic reasons. Solutions with protected profiles The malleability of aluminum makes it possible to create different geometries through extrusion. The “C” profile is extremely functional. This is a square profile with an opening where a belt and carriage can slide. This shape makes it possible to place the rail inside the profile. The final result is acompletely closed unit that contains all the elements of the system. This solution is particularly interesting when it is necessary to isolate the seventh axis from the environment (to protect it from dust, residue, liquids or other contaminants), or on the contrary, when the environment must be isolated from the seventh axis in clean rooms or sterile environments where it is crucial to avoid dispersing
particles. Obviously, constructions of this level of complexity cannot be made with the drawing process used to make steel profiles. Are you curious about the advantages of aluminum seventh axis systems? Learn more about Rollon’s Seventh Axis range on www.rollon.com

Simplicity in Expanding Mandrels a key to effective solution in Work Holding
T
he continuing advancement in production methods in the Metalworking Industry has created a need for precision workholding devices capable of automatic clamping in component bores. In addition, the equipment must transmit the high accuracy of the latest machine tools and develop sufficient holding power to resist the cutting forces imposed on the workpiece. Such capabilities are possible by using a BIRLA PRECISION TECHNOLOGIES (BPT) Expanding mandrel system. The BIRLA PRECISION TECHNOLOGIES (BPT) Expanding Mandrels, double angle principle for precision expansion, have been proved over a number of years as the most versatile and trouble free Mandrels for jobs requiring internal chucking where accuracy positive grip are necessary. Considering the problem of largediameter workpiece with a small ID mounted on the solid mandrel. The torque generated when cutting on the relatively large OD creates a slippage problem. Likewise, a short-length ID creates a problem of holding the workpiece square / perpendicular to the centerline. The use of end drivers / End Locators. or other assists to gain either holding capability or to insure part accuracy may create a problem of machining end surfaces. In addition, serrated or tooth-type end drivers could leave marks on the ends of work pieces. Simply stated, the answers are found in a wide range of mandrel designs and applications that have been developed to meet virtually every need. However, these items are not always known to those who face a new problem. With the very simple plug-type solid

mandrel, which can be very effective when used with certain types of work pieces. Its strength lies in its very simplicity. It is nothing more a plug of suitable length with a threaded end upon ‘which is slipped a work piece which is then bolted into place with some kind of an end clamp. Its weaknesses are twofold. The first is the inability to accommodate work pieces with any variation of inside diameters. For example, if the plain plug mandrel is 25mm in diameter & customer components location bore size is 25.50mm i.e. over size by 0.5 mm… work piece can not be clamped. It obviously, would locate off center due to its own weight, and concentricity between the ID and OD would be lost. Secondly, any kind of an end clamp either covers part of the work piece end, which may be a machining area, or end drivers may leave unacceptable indentations on thework piece. Most machines are equipped with the standard mounting shown in Figure 1.

The spindle nose has a 7 1 /2-degree taper and holds the mandrel plate to the nose with bolts. BPTs mandrels are suitable for ISO Std Spindle Nose A2-5”/A2-6”/A2-8”. Through BPT Standard Adaptor plates. As stated, the simple plug-type solid mandrel cannot cope with any variation of workpiece ID. So the most prevalent approach is the use of an
expanding -sleeve mandrel as shown in Figure 2.
Fig.2
Although most applications do involve lathes, there are plenty of examples whereby round work pieces are held on machining-center and milling-machine tables. The drawbar principle can be applied to non rotating work as well it is variation for use in a non rotating application. These are often powered by shop air and they can develop several tons of drawbar pressure. There are two things to keep in mind about the drawbar and expanding sleeve or segments. First, a preload pressure is always maintained. Even when the drawbar is released, it never moves forward so far that the slope of the sleeve loses contact with the slope of the mandrel body. Secondly, while expansion is achieved with air or hydraulic pressure, the return is achieved with springs built between the mounting and mandrel plates.

any tool and mould manufacturers rely on graphite electrodes in their manufacturing processes as this material, a modification of carbon, is extremely corrosion and heat resistant as well as highly abrasive. Machining of graphite generates very low vibrations, making it extremely easy to produce intricate shapes and contours without any burring. Manual reworking or burn-off - material loss caused by oxidation - are, thanks to the right mill cutter, a thing of the past. Robust diamond coating “The high speed processing of graphite not only requires modern CNC machines, but also, and essentially, high quality tools,” says Mangesh Awate, Sales Manager at Zecha Precision Tools Limited. Zecha offers

AUGUST 2019
just such efficient milling tool series for an exact manufacture of intricate 3D contours. In order to make the mill cutters even more resistant to wear, the tool manufacturer based in KönigsbachStein not only selects a suitable coating but also draws on the experience of a renowned coating company. Arndt Fielen: “Its competence in the field of hard material coating and the CVD diamond coat exclusively developed for Zecha means that our milling tools also display significantly higher life cycles as well as concentric accuracy.” Its hardness of 10,000 HV makes diamond one of the world’s hardest materials and thus absolutely essential as a coating material for the machining of graphite as well as other materials as it consistently guarantees optimum tool quality.
The manufacture of graphite electrodes has established itself as an important process in tool and mould making. Nevertheless, it is also a great challenge for every machinist. Modern CNC machines enable particularly intricate shapes and structures to be manufactured at µ accuracy. However, to a large extent it is the milling cutters that determine the quality of the finished graphite electrodes. This is why Zecha HartmetallWerkzeugfabrikation GmbH, Germany has over a dozen high performance precision tool series providing a high degree of geometric and concentric accuracy. Long-life versatility Boasting diameters from 0.1 mm the solid carbide tools in the graphite mill cutter range can mix it with the best of them: The terms “Quality Line”, “Premium Line” and “High-End Line” stand for reliable VHM radius and torus end mill cutters that perfectly equip the graphite machinist. All three mill cutter ranges are recommended for roughing, pre-finishing and finishing for precise machining. The geometries developed by Zecha enable tight tolerances in shape, concentricity and diameter. Especially noteworthy are the SEAGULL® mill cutters with shortened flute lengths and low cutting pressure: They are virtually vibration free and reliable within 5 µm. The Premium Line ball and torus mill cutters are available in two and

four flute versions and in diameters ranging from 0.2 to 12 mm and 0.4 to 12 mm respectively. “These tools are very process capable especially in roughing operations,” says Mangesh Awate. “The salient features of this product line are the exceptionally high life cycle and the narrow tolerances.” The Premium mill cutters, such as, for example, Series 573, can machine at an accuracy of 10 µm both in shape and concentricity. In addition, there are the low cutting forces, likewise essential for graphite machining: They prevent faulty contours & insufficient surface quality. The Zecha Quality Line represents superb value for money: Large-scale manufacture has optimised the cost of these quality tools. Series 565 or
575, for example, are particularly suitable for standard applications. Furnished with the tried-and-tested diamond coating, the ball mill cutters are available in diameters ranging from 0.2 to 10 mm and the torus cutter from 0.2 to 12 mm. The carefully conceived geometry is an innovation; the two-flute cutters achieve concentric accuracies of 5 µm and geometric accuracies of +/- 7 µm. The precise machining results convince every user involved in the HSC machining of graphite electrodes. High precision graphite cutters Zecha’s High-End Line is the highperformance cutter for large-scale manufacture. Its very strong, robust diamond coating means that this line produces superb surface quality
and extremely narrow tolerances. A geometric accuracy of about 5 µm and a concentric accuracy of 3 µm means that this versatile tool is up there with the best of them. Moreover, the ball and torus cutters which are available in diameters ranging from 0.1 to 10 mm and 12 mm respectively, such as the Series 560 or 570, boast very long life cycles as well as short mill processing times. Mangesh Awate is well aware of the tools’ strengths: “The highest manufacturing precision is not just a case of wishful thinking - the two and four flute graphite cutters are process capable and display their abilities in 3D machining even at maximum speeds.” Ideal partner for highly complex machining The cutters offer a perfect balance with their combination of optimum tungsten carbide types, robust coating, precise finishing and special geometry tailored to graphite processing. “Our tools enable the HSC milling of highly complex graphite electrodes to be effected with low vibrations and with top results,” confirms Mangesh Awate. “It is an ideal partner that saves timeconsuming reworking and is quite simply the most economical solution out there.” For more details please contact ZECHA Precision Tools Limited Mr. Mangesh Awate

W
ith the new single-sided indexable inserts with HU5 geometry, Walter has the answer to one of its users’ key questions: How can more components be produced using the same number of machines? In comparison to the indexable inserts that can be used on both sides, the HU5 has a larger contact surface to the tool holder. This increases the stability and allows for greater cutting depths, feeds and a larger metal removal rate – specifically, in the practical test, this comes to 18.36 l/h instead of 10.71 l/h. In addition to the stable fit, the decisive factor behind this is the combination of the geometry and Walter Tiger·tec® Silver cutting tool materials.
96

This allows for increases in tool life of up to 75%. The geometry itself has been specially developed for heavy roughing of stainless steels and high-temperature alloys. It is typically used for applications in the oil and gas industry, e.g. for large valves made from AISI 316 material, or in the aerospace industry with Inconel 718 or titanium materials. The main cutting edge, which is protected by a negative chamfer, prevents fractures when machining hard edge zones and optimises the performance for hard scale, e.g. of forged parts. Components with interrupted cuts and other demanding machining operations are equally feasible. The curved cutting edge and a
deep chip breaker groove produce low cutting forces with high feed rates, consequently reducing the machining temperature. The variable rake angle in the area of the corner radius allows for soft chip reforming and increases the tool life. Available in the standard basic shapes of CNMM, DNMM and SNMM, Walter rounds off its vast product range in the areas ISO S and M with the HU5 geometry. As a result, Walter now offers a total of 12 geometries in six grades as well as tools with precision cooling and ceramic or CBN inserts.

The Right Grade Creates the Right Tool: Selecting Tool Materials
C
utting tools have different design configurations. Some of them are assembled comprising a body with replaceable cutting elements (indexable inserts, for example), another is wholly produced from solid material. Functionally, a cutting tool may be divided into a cutting part that is involved in cutting, and a mounting part, which is necessary for mounting the tool in a holder or a machine spindle. A tool material is the material from which the cutting part of a tool is produced. This is the material that directly contacts a workpiece during cutting. The tool material must be harder than the workpiece material so that it can cut the workpiece. In machining, the tool material needs to withstand mechanical and thermal loads, and oxidation. These factors cause gradual loss of the tool material or a change in its original shape: this is known as “tool wear”. When wear reaches a certain limit, the cutting part cannot work, and the tool fails. The machining time interval, within which the tool cuts normally from its original (new) state to a failure, is known as “tool life”. The tool must meet appropriate requirements of hardness, strength, and thermal and oxidation resistance to withstand wear and ensure an acceptable tool life. Cutting tool manufacturers produce a variety of tools from different tool materials according to the desired tool application. “Which material is more suitable for my specific needs? Is the material of one producer better than another?” Customers often ask themselves these questions when selecting the tool or choosing their

cutting tool supplier. Industry utilizes the following tool material groups to produce cutting tools: high speed steel (HSS), cemented carbide (hard metal, HM), ceramics, cermet, and ultra-hard materials such as cubic boron nitride (CBN) and polycrystalline diamond (PCD). Each group features various types within the group; these are referred to as “tool material grades” or simply “grades”. Classification International standard ISO 513 classifies tool material based on their reasonable applicability with respect to the materials. ISCAR adopted this standard and uses the same approach in tool development. In accordance with the standard, the tool material grades are
characterized by a class of engineering materials, to which a tool produced from the grade can be applied successfully. Each class has a specific identification letter and color: P (blue color) – steel and cast steel except stainless steel with austenitic structure M (yellow) – austenitic and duplex (austenitic/ferritic) stainless steel and cast steel K (red) – cast iron N (green) – aluminum and other nonferrous metals and materials S (brown) – high-temperature superalloys and titanium H (grey) – hard materials like hardened steel and cast iron, chilled cast iron A classification number follows the let-
Fig 1

TECH TRENDS ter to show the hardness-toughness ratio of the grade according to a conventional scale. Higher numbers indicate an increase in grade toughness, while lower numbers indicate an increase in grade hardness. Higher numbers represent increasing feed and lower numbers represent increasing speed. Cemented carbide Cemented carbides are very hard materials and therefore they can cut most engineering materials, which are softer. Some carbide grades demonstrate better performance than others when applied to machining a specific class of materials. A carbide grade is the result of combining cemented carbide, coating and post-coating treatment. Only one of these components - the carbide - is a essential component of the grade. The integration of coating and post-coating elements depends on the main field of the grade application. Produced by powder metallurgy technology, cemented carbide is itself a composite material and comprises hard carbide particles “cemented” by a binding metal, which is principally cobalt. The term “cemented carbide” can refer both to the substrate of a coated grade and to an uncoated grade. Main types of cemented carbide include tungsten (wolfram) carbide (WC), tungsten carbide and titanium carbide (TiC), and tungsten carbide, titanium carbide and tantalum carbide (TaC). Mixed binders, containing not only cobalt but additional elements such as ruthenium, may significantly improve grade performance. Most cemented carbides used for producing cutting tools integrate wearresistant coating and are known as “coated cemented carbides”. Applying a thin-layer coating to a cemented carbide considerably improves the carbide’s working characteristics. The coating may be one- or multi-layer
102
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD
AUGUST 2019
depending on the number of coating materials. Materials used for coating cemented carbides include tungsten carbide and titanium carbide (TiC), alumina (aluminum oxide Al2O3), titanium carbo-nitride (TiCN), and titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN). There are also various post-coating treatment processes that are applied to already coated cemented carbide, for example, to the rake surface of an indexable insert.
Coating Processes Two methods may be utilized for coating: Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). CVD coating is based on chemical reactions in a vaporized medium and PVD uses material sputtering. Technology development allows both methods – CVD and PVD – to be combined for coating cemented carbides as a means of controlling coating properties. For example, ISCAR’s carbide grade DT7150 features a tough substrate and a dual MT CVD (Medium Temperature CVD) and TiAlN PVD coating. The grade was originally developed to improve machining special-purpose hard cast iron. Nano layered PVD coating PVD coatings were introduced during the late 1980’s. Applying advanced nanotechnology, PVD coatings performed a gigantic step in overcoming complex problems that were impeding progress in the field.
Developments in science and technology brought a new class of wearresistant nano layered coatings. These coatings are a combination of layers having a thickness of up to 50 nm (nanometers) and demonstrate significant increases in the strength of the coating compared to conventional methods. Applying SUMO TEC technology SUMO TEC is a specific post-coating treatment process developed by ISCAR to improve both CVD and PVD coatings: CVD and PVD. In CVD coatings, the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the substrate and the coating layers causes internal tensile stresses and micro cracks. PVD coatings produce surface droplets. These factors negatively affect the coating and shorten insert tool life. The SUMO TEC treatment has the effect of making coated surfaces even and uniform by reducing and even removing the defects - minimizing inner stresses and droplets in the coating. Classifying Grades ISCAR, which produces a variety of cutting tools with cutting parts mainly fabricated from coated and uncoated cemented carbide, developed a tool material grade characterization system with designated letters indicating the material group and numbers representing identity codes. The numbers also provide quick information on the grade type - for example a two-digit number following “IC” in the designation of a Examples from ISCAR’s material group classification system: Letter

TECH TRENDS cemented carbide grade means that it is an uncoated grade, while a three-digit number relates to a coated grade. Occasionally, misconceptions occur concerning grade designation for a coating type. IC300, for example, relates to the specific grade in its entirety – including both the grade substrate and coating. Wording such as “grade IC328 but with coating IC300” is inaccurate; the correct definition would be “substrate as in grade IC328 and coating as in grade IC300”. “The best grade is a grade you have now” When a new insert (solid carbide tool or replaceable cutting head) is developed, it is necessary to decide from which grade it will be produced. The answer to this question depends on the insert’s designated application and this represents a starting point for tool designers in their work. Grade properties and their relative hardness-toughness ratio will be the main determinants to take into consideration. In some cases, stock availability and delivery terms may be the significant factors in the decision-making process. As people engaged in production like to say, the best carbide grade is the grade that you have in your stock. This statement can be applied to the cutting tool as a whole; it is probably true if it relates to a production situation that requires an immediate decision. However, productive process planning - or effective tool stock management - requires a more in-depth applicative analysis of the pros and cons of the proposed carbide grades. Selecting a grade is strongly connected with the cutting geometry of a tool and other factors. The cutting tool manufacturer should provide the customer appropriate information about grade properties to assist in their correct selection. While computerized grade selection systems are impressive

and effective, often simple graphical figures, charts and tables can act as a good information “compass” to visualize a grade position in the field of application in accordance with standard ISO 513, and characterizing the grade properties compared with other grades. ISCAR uses charts and tables to specify the cutting area of milling tools (Fig. 1, 2) and proposes suitable grades for replaceable inserts in indexable milling cutters, solid (mainly solid carbide) endmills, and replaceable solid milling heads with Multi-Master adaptation. ISCAR characterizes the grades as main and complementary. The main grades are more popular in machining specific engineering materials, but complementary grades can be effective as well in certain cases. When a main grade is not available for producing a certain product, a complementary grade provides an acceptable alternative. The tables provide summary data for grade applications and the charts show “an applicative map of grades”, in coordinates of classification numbers from standard ISO 513. The figures often prioritize the main grades by numbers in brackets below the
designation of a grade. Prioritizing is general in character and is intended to assist in selecting the correct grade when there is insufficient information about the application. The basic principle for selecting the grades is that when abrasive wear is dominant, a hard grade should be used, whereas a tough grade is needed for substantial mechanical loading during cutting. For example, for finish milling with typically small machining allowance (machining stock), high cutting speed and low feed, hard grades will be more efficient. However, tough grades will be required for heavy-duty roughing that removes significant volume of material and features considerable cutting load. Using summarized tables and charts to represent performance attributes of various parameters is a well-known grade selection tool that is often preferred by tool manufacturers, even with the myriad of digital options available today. The simplicity and clear visuals offered by the traditional tables and charts provide important data in an easily interpretable and effective way, allowing optimal selection of the right tool materials for each application.

The smallest draw-wire sensor the world has ever seen Draw-wire sensors precisely detect displacements and distances in a variety of R&D and industrial applications. Reliable and easy to install, they are also ideally suited to serial applications due to their relatively low cost. Offering a broad range of draw-wire sensors, Micro-Epsilon now reveals another highlight - the smallest draw-wire sensor in the world, which is specially designed for high speed measurements
M
aintenance-free, draw-wire sensors operate reliably and can be installed easily. Furthermore, complex alignment work is not required. Even the tightest of installation space is no match for these versatile displacement and distance sensors. Depending on the model, they measure displacement and distance in high acceleration applications and OEM tasks. These positive characteristics enable their use in versatile industrial applications, test rigs, mobile machinery and medical engineering. The application possibilities are numerous, whether it is measuring lift height for the maintenance of bridges, training monitoring in rehab devices, positioning of operating tables and catering vehicles, or measurement tasks in machine tools. Small sensors achieve big things Among the numerous models available, the new wireSENSOR MT19 miniature sensor from MicroEpsilon is a stand-out. It’s as small as a 1 cent coin, and is therefore the smallest draw-wire sensor in the world.

well suited to crash tests. The deformation values of the crash test dummies give vital clues about the safety of the tested vehicle. The exact determination of this deformation enables the engineers to optimize design of interior or passenger compartments and consequently, to increase passenger safety. A crash test dummy is equipped with numerous sensors. Special attention is given to the head, chest, spinal column, pelvis and legs. In order to receive deformation values that are as realistic as possible, drawwire sensors are directly installed in the dummy on the parts of the body concerned. But the installation space is rather limited here. However, due to their compact design and throughbores in the housing, the MT19 miniature draw-sensors from Micro-
Epsilon can be easily installed in extremely tight spaces. The MT draw-wire sensors are protected with a robust aluminum housing. As the draw-wire sensor is specially designed for extremely high acceleration tasks, the draw-wire is able to follow these high speed movements. The wireSENSOR MT19 withstands these stresses, since it’s designed for accelerations up to 60g. Based on a well-conceived concept, it provides precise displacement and distance values to fulfill the very high requirements placed on sensors in crash tests. For high-speed measurements in confined spaces, Micro-Epsilon has also launched two further miniature MT sensors. The wireSENSOR MT33 measures displacement and distance at measuring ranges up to

TECH TRENDS 80mm, whereas the MT56 enables measurements up to 130mm. All of these are equipped with an aluminum housing, stainless steel measuring wire and potentiometer. Robust draw-wire sensors for industrial applications As an expert in the field of industrial measurement technologies, MicroEpsilon has developed a broad, highquality product range of draw-wire displacement sensors over 50 years of company history. Various models cover measuring ranges from 40mm to 50m. As well as sensors designed for high-speed measurements, the sensor specialist also offers wireSENSOR P draw-wire sensors which are specially designed for industrial applications. These sensors are used in elevator construction, crane systems, forklift trucks and high-bay warehouses. Their robust and compact aluminum housing protects the sensors from mechanical influences. In addition, Micro-Epsilon draw-wire sensors are available as analog versions with potentiometer, current or voltage output, or as digital versions with incremental or absolute encoders. Load tests on rotor blades wireSENSOR P draw-wire sensors are used when performing stress tests on wind turbine rotor blades. Therefore, test rigs have been developed that simulate the real loads caused by winds and storms. These expensive rotors made from fiber-reinforced plastics are manufactured according to the halfshell sandwich construction. They are usually between 40m and 60m long. The Fraunhofer Institute IWES in Bremerhaven has developed a test rig that can be used to test rotor blades up to 70m in length. In the test rig, the rotor blade is mounted horizontally. Steel cables are routed to the rotor

using guide pulleys and attached to the rotor blade at various positions either directly or via mechanical clamps. The tip of the rotor blade can be distorted by up to 10m due to mechanical loads. Twelve draw-wire sensors are used for measuring the distortion. Two sensors per traction point measure the deflection and torsion of the rotor blade. For this, the sensors are mounted on rails on the ground and the measuring wire is attached to pre-fabricated eyes on the terminals. Here, the sensors impress with their ease of use and robust design while covering measuring ranges between 3m and 10m. The digital signal provided is used for further simulations. Lift height measurement for twocolumn lifts Draw-wire P sensors ensure also in two-column lifts that the vehicles are lifted evenly. Modern twopost lifting systems are normally designed without a base frame. Unlike lifts that have a chain between the two lifting columns, these modern systems no longer require a mechanical connection. Therefore, the threshold between the lift columns is no longer required.
This makes the user’s daily work much easier since no “obstacle” has to be overcome during entry and exit and so it is much easier to position the vehicle. However, “automatic” lift height synchronization, which was previously provided by the mechanical connection of the two columns, is now missing. The lift therefore requires a synchronization controller or lift height monitoring system in order to ensure that the vehicle is raised evenly on both sides. Draw-wire sensors are the preferred choice for this type of height measurement as they are easy to integrate, very compact and provide a very attractive price/performance ratio relative to the measuring range, as well as high accuracy. Versatile draw-wire sensors for OEM and serial applications In applications where high quantities are required, draw-wire MK sensors from Micro-Epsilon are ideal, as they are specially designed for serial applications. Particular advantages are their low cost combined with a compact design, as well as easy integration – even in confined spaces. The MK sensors from Micro-Epsilon combine a favorable price with high

TECH TRENDS performance, compact design and robustness – ideal characteristics for serial applications. 8 times longer service life with WPSMK88 Compared to draw-wire sensors based on a conventional potentiometer, the new wireSENSOR WPS-MK88 U45R with a non-contact potentiometer achieves 8 times more working cycles which prolongs the sensor’s service life to a maximum. This new technology combined with a robust plastic housing and a favorable price/ performance ratio, sets new standards in terms of economic efficiency. Those positive characteristics were achieved by replacing the conventional, analog hybrid potentiometer with a non-contact potentiometer. With common potentiometers, a sliding contact (wiper) moves along a resistive element. However, this wiper quickly wears. In contrast, the new, non-contact potentiometer is based on magnetic field sensors that significantly increase its service life. Safety in forklift trucks MK sensors are used in sectors where high cycle rates are required, e.g. in logistics and for forklift trucks. When
lowering the load, normally large safety margins have to be observed, so that when rounding a corner or braking and accelerating, the truck is not put into a dangerous tilted position. Since the lift height of the load can now be measured using draw-wire sensors, the optimum driving speed can be determined from this. In addition, the system is protected against erroneous operation, i.e. the operator cannot knowingly or unintentionally cause critical driving conditions. Determining the position of the tailstock in machine tools Another common measurement task is determining the position of the tailstock in machine tools. Here, drawwire MK sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used. Although this measurement has no direct impact on the precision or safety of the machine, it poses many challenges for designers. Thus, the position of the center point of the tailstock often has to be determined over a very large area up to a few meters. To make matters worse, the space for the corresponding measuring system is limited. Due to their compact design, Micro-Epsilon sensors can be easily mounted even in confined spaces. The
Thus, the position of the center point of the tailstock often has to be determined over a very large area up to a few meters.

sensor does not have to be installed directly in the vicinity of the tailstock, as the measuring rope can be guided very flexibly in different-to-access places over different pulleys. Typical drawwire sensor models for machine tools offer measuring ranges from 300mm to 2,100mm, although larger ranges are also available. Their robust plastic housing protects the sensors from mechanical and thermal loads and stress which ensures long-term stable application in machine tools. How does a draw-wire sensor work? Draw-wire sensors are composed of a drum, spring, measuring wire and potentiometer or encoder. The spring tensions the measuring wire during extension and retraction to prevent the wire from sagging. This ensures that the displacement the wire has travelled can be detected correctly to provide precise measurement values. The highly flexible stainless steel measuring wire is wound onto a drum, where the potentiometer or encoder is mounted. When the wire is wound up or unwound, this drum rotates. Therefore, the potentiometer or encoder rotates proportionally to the drum as soon as the measuring object, where the measuring wire is mounted, moves. The rotation of drum and potentiometer/encoder caused by the distance change can then be converted into a proportional, electrical signal. The potentiometer is used for analog output signals, whereas the encoder is used for digital output signals. The signals determined can finally be transmitted via different outputs and then be evaluated. For more information, Website: www.micro-epsilon.in

Use of TIP-TIG Technology in Process Equipment Plants by Rakesh Choudhary, Head WAPS, Ador Welding Ltd. (with inputs from Plasch, TiP-TiG, Austria)
T
IP-TIG welding is a new advanced innovation of the common GTAW Process. This process uses new, patent-pending technology (TiPTiG), that delivers the highest possible weld energy with the lowest possible weld heat, all while still being user-friendly. What is TIP-TIG welding? TiPTiG new welding with a hot wire process can be used in every industry. It is very simple to learn, use and simple to teach. This process is so unique that higher travel speed, lower heat input, reduced cycle time, and an overall better-quality welding advantage can easily be achieved. The Process The TIG weld receptivity for higher weld deposition rates is done by decreasing the speeds for the weld solidification process and increasing the fluid weld area. This allows for a 100%-400% increase in TIG wire feed rates, increasing the overall weld deposits. All these attributes like faster speeds and higher than normal weld energy, increase the resulting TIG weld quality and overall process productivity. The process is also slag-free and
116
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD

uses the lowest possible heat input of any welding process, producing a Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), all of which help to reduce distortion and weld stress. It produces some of the highest quality products with the best metallurgical and mechanical properties on all alloys, but also increases production up to four times the normal speed. There is also no inter- pass cleaning, creating availability for an increased Arc on time and weld quality. The TIP TIG process is available in manual and automated capability to attain weld and clad quality levels way beyond the conventional TIG – Hot – Cold Wire TIG – Pulsed MIG and the Flux-Cored process.
Fig.3
How it Works A TIP TIG welding system uses a wire fed GTAW system just like a typical TIG system, but it’s distinctive for the vibratory effect on wire at weld pool which is achieved by a linear forward and backward mechanical motion created by the customised wire feeder system. The forward and backward motion of the filler wire creates an oscillation that is then transferred to the weld, agitating the molten weld pool and ultimately disrupting the surface tension. In addition to this vibratory

Titanium. There are certainly some unique applications and challenges associated with the welding of heat exchangers, such as the position and access for the popular circumferential welding of Tube to sheet welds or the half tube shell welding. A trained TIP-TIG welder can typically weld a 50mm tube in 30 seconds… or less with the highest quality and lowest heat input. Our typical travel speed for fillet welds will be between 300 to 500 mm/min on most applications. Compared with 80 to 150 mm/ min with conventional GTAW. TiPTiG manual system is a low cost semi-automatic solution to tackle any job by selecting a wide variety of torches for different applications, with modified 180 deg torch it allows a complete tube sheet welds without repositioning the wire or stopping, allowing for defect free welds.

TECH TRENDS Duplex Steel Welding Applications Application The picture (fig.5) is of a very thin Gage Duplex Boiler. Traditional automated TIG process with cold wire may result in sluggish duplex welds. The customer typically attained a maximum Hot Wire TIG weld travel speeds from 12 – 15 inch/min. Then the customer switched over from Hot Wire TIG to the TIP-TIG process. The TIP TIG weld parameters and speeds were achieved using an 0.035 (1mm) 2205 Duplex wire, with TIP-TIG travel speed of 35 inch/min was achieved providing 200% increase in weld travel. The welds had a superior, less sluggish weld bead appearance and the parts had a dramatic reduction in weld distortion, (note the much smaller HAZ). Also the TIP-TIG process was much more stable and consistent. TIP-TIG produces the cleanest welds from lowest possible oxidation. The welds will have the lowest possible weld pores and inclusions and the smallest possible weld HAZ. Welding of P-91 Material Welding of Grade 91 (9Cr-1Mo-V) chromium-molybdenum steel has presented numerous challenges since its introduction inthe 1970s. The gas tungsten-arc (GTAW) process can produce welds of high quality;
however, manual welding can be expensive and labour intensive, requiring skilled welders with extreme hand-eye coordination and dexterity. Grade 91 productivity can beincreased in either shop or field fabrication by introducing a semiautomatic high deposition metal transfer (HDMT) GTAWwelding process that combines controlled excitation of wire with a hot wire addition. This technique is costeffective and can beused for the entire weld from root to cap while producing high quality welds that industry expects from the GTAW process. With TiP-TiG weld study, it indicates that semiautomatic HDMT GTAW welding process is capable of producing toughness valuescomparable to or exceeding manual GTAW and that the process provides an attractive alternative for welding P91 root and hotpasses or the entire weld from root to cap.Results of this study indicates that semiautomatic HDMT GTAW welding process is capable of producing impact valuescomparable to or exceeding manual GTAWT. The process also provides an attractive alternative for welding P91 root and hotpasses or the entire weld from root to cap. The semiautomatic HDMT GTAW welding process permits an increase in energy(heat input), larger weld puddle and increased deposition rate while still

providing tempering of the previously deposited weldbeads or layers. TIP-TIG HDMT (HIGH DYNAMIC METAL TRANSFER) FOCUS TIP-TIG HDMT FOCUS is a unique TIP-TIG welding process. Its precision and reliability make the TIPTIG HDMT FOCUS welding process particularly suitable for automatedapplications in combination with linear axles, robots and other guiding systems. Nearly all steels, non-ferrousmetals or galvanized sheets can be welded in one layer with filler material; e.g. CrNi-steels with a material thickness of up to 10 to 12 mm can be welded in single pass without any Joint preparation. Some of the welded examples are listed below. it has resulted in elimination of backing gas in austenitic stainless steel welds using high deposition metal transfer gas tungsten-arc welding(HDMTGTAW) TIP-TIG HDMT FOCUS PROCESS Example • Material: CrNi 8+8mm • Weld current: 500A • Weld speed: 46 cm/min • Wire feed speed: 2,0m/min Details of Welded Samples • Material: CrNi 10+10mm • Weld current: 500A • Weld speed: 32 cm/min • Wire feed speed: 1,8m/min TIP-TIG REDUCED COSTS BY OVER 60%, WHEN COMPARED WITH CONVENTIONAL TIG PROCESS TIP-TIG Cost Comparison The following comparison shows the actual savings calculated on a real stainless-steel welding application comparing conventional TIG and TIP-TIG on a pipe application (2” Sch 80 Stainless) in the 5G position.

TBD HS: Programmable System for noncontact high speed tool breakage detection

ndustrial realities, where productivity represents the priority to achieve, aim to implement tool measurement solutions, which prove to be quick, accurate and reliable. Aware of such need and willing to develop an application that could avoid affecting production efficiency, Marposs presented TBD, the Tool Breakage Detector, a time-saving laser-based solution for broken tool detection on machine. TBD on milling machines and machining centres permits to keep under control the process, thanks to a very short tool checking cycle. Fast and reliable detection achievable by the TBD allows to reduce production time and to avoid expensive work-pieces scrap due to wrong cutting process by damaged or broken tools. All functionality is contained within the TBD unit compact housing, which can be mounted outside the machine area, saving space on the table. It is possible to choose among different working modes, which endow TBD with a great flexibility. Switching the power to the maximum gives TBD the chance to recognize a tool placed at a longer distance (up to 2 meters), with a standard capability to check the breakage. If a smaller tolerance is required, the reduced power can be set obtaining a smaller beam. Furthermore, an user can choose the filtering level of the signal. In fact, during the checking cycle, some coolant drops could interrupt the beam or coolant stuck on the tool could create variation in the signal received. Setting “Hi Filter” makes the software of the TBD more restrictive in order to give the more reliable response. On the other hand, choosing “Low Filter” TBD responds in a faster way, as the filter is less severe. Lastly, it is possible to choose the appropriate range of spindle speed, up to 5000 rpm.

The new TBD HS Marposs S.p.A. has recently introduced the new TBD HS, High Speed, on its wide range of products for tool checking on milling machines and machining centers. The new TBD HS is a programmable system for non-contact checking hi-speed tools, particularly committed to those applications where there is the need for hi-speed spindles, up to 80.000 rpm. Thanks to its rotary switch selector, the TBD HS is able to recognize the tool in two different ways, depending on the actual rotational speed, thus minimizing cycle times, generally crucial in this kind of process. Selecting “Quick Recognition”, the tool checking is performed for 10.000 rpm spindle speed and its multiples; on the other hand, it is possible to choose “Hybrid Recognition” if the speed is 1.000 rpm and its multiples or 10.000 rpm and its multiples. With a reflective, clean tool an impressive 150 msec checking time is achieved, approximately half the time compared to the standard TBD. High spindle speeds and small tool dimensions lead to the need for a fine adjustment for positioning the TBD
HS in a very precise way: that is the reason why an effective system has been designed to make accurate and easy the searching procedure of the tool verification position. Once TBD installed and tool approximately pointed, now is even more quick and simple to optimize the laser beam and to find the checking position. The tool breakage detection performed by the TBD HS is improved by the presence (upon request) of a blower for cleaning the receiver glass: taking advantage of the usual standard inlet, both in terms of air flow and pressure, it has been developed a solution able to protect the glass from swarf and scraps without increasing the air consumption. Moreover, when the conditions are particularly harsh because of the aggressive presence of shavings, there is the chance to substitute the standard protection glass with one in sapphire crystal: being 9 out of 10 its hardness degree on the Mohs scale, this kind of protection lets the receiver performance always at its maximum, no more damaged by the extreme machine conditions.

ohlhaupter India Pvt. Ltd. provides engineering, technical support, and onsite application services within India for Wohlhaupter GmbH and Allied Machine and Engineering Corp., leading manufacturers of holemaking and finishing tooling systems. Wohlhaupter India Pvt. Ltd. offers more precision and peace on the shop floor with Wohlhaupter modular boring systems for manufacturers of field components for the energy industry. Machining parts for such a challenging sector can include variances in workpiece materials, long cross holes and boring through difficult applications with precision. To reduce chatter and improve hole quality in tough boring applications, Wohlhaupter India recommends their boring systems with NOVITECH vibration dampening modules. The Wohlhaupter 320 boring head with NOVITECH provides productivity, surface quality, and process reliability in applications
that may involve significant material variances or long overhangs greater than 6:1. Mounted inside the patentpending NOVITECH system, the viscoelastically mounted damper modules reduce vibrations when boring diameters ranging from 1.97” – 8.07” (50mm – 205mm), up to 10xD. By combining Wohlhaupter boring tools with the NOVITECH (“no vibration technology”) module, the inserts and the machine center’s spindle achieve longer life. The NOVITECH modules are compatible with any machine spindle and feature Wohlhaupter’s MVS connection too, making it simple to use with existing Wohlhaupter components. Recently, a Wohlhaupter NOVITECH boring system
provided significant productivity improvements, surface quality, and time savings for A to Z Machine Company, Inc. This company specializes in a wide variety of custom parts including complex components and assemblies for the oil/gas industry and they’d been contracted to manufacture highpressure, multifunction pumps. Each cast-iron part was to be bored with three holes, each with a 12” depth and a 22” reach. Previous tooling had been running at a slow 0.47 IPM resulting in a lengthy cycle time of 84 minutes per part for this feature, so they reached out a field engineer, Mark Fowler, based in their area. Together Fowler and A to Z’s lead manufacturing engineer, Marc Manteufel worked to find the best tools and techniques to reduce both vibrations and cycle time while maintaining the required finish. Fowler and Manteufel selected the Wohlhaupter 320 boring head with NOVITECH vibration damper for the job. With the right tooling and expert teamwork, the cycle time for this feature was reduced by 74 minutes while still achieving the required finish. For more information, www.wohlhaupterindia.in

PMI: Wide Rail Type, MSG Series Characteristics The trains of balls are designed to a contact angle of 45° which enables it to bear an equal load in radial, reversed radial and lateral directions. Therefore, it can be applied in any installation direction. Furthermore, MSG series can achieve a well balanced preload for increasing rigidity in four directions while keeping a low frictional resistance. This is especially suit to high precision and high rigidity required motion. By design, the ability to use a single rail and to have the low pro le with a low center of gravity is ideal where space is limited and high moments are required. The patent design of lubrication route makes the lubricant evenly distribute in each circulation loop. Therefore, the optimum lubrication can be achieved in any installation direction, and this promotes the performance in running accuracy, service life, and reliability. Features • High Rigidity, Four-way Equal Load The four trains of balls are
allocated to a circular contact angle at 45°, thus each train of balls can take up an equal rated load in all four directions. Moreover, a sufficient preload can be achieved to increase rigidity, and this makes it suitable for any kind of installation • Smooth Movement with Low Noise The simplified design of circulating system with strengthened synthetic resin accessories makes the movement smooth and quiet.
• Self Alignment Capability The self adjustment is performed spontaneously as the design of face-to-face (DF) circular arc groove. Therefore, the installation error could be compensated even under a preload, and which results in precise and smooth linear motion. • Interchangeability For interchangeable type of linear guideway, the dimensional tolerances are strictly maintained within a reasonable range, and this has made the random matching of the same size of rails and carriages possible. Therefore, the similar preload and accuracy can be obtained even under the random matching condition. As a result of this advantage, the linear guideway can be stocked as standard parts, the installation and maintenance become more convenient. Moreover, this is also beneficial for shortening the delivery time.
