Q1. According to you what is current Scenario of Machine Tool Industry? In my view the industry is in heighten state of anticipation for the demand to go up at steeply. The Machine Tool industry by and large is active but higher growth results are not yet visible. But the mood is positive. Funds and cash flow remains tight and somewhat difficult. Not visible are expansions or new investments. Planned expansion plans are yet to take off. General engineering is active. Of course the main stay is the Auto. Here to we see some ups and downs depending on sectors and regions. Q2. What is latest trends that are driving the Machine Tool Industry? Once again in opinion the Auto Industry continues to drive the Machine Tool Industry. Defense, railways & aerospace are really strong drivers at this moment comparatively
more particularly the Ordnance factories and railways. Milling machines producers (VMCs & HMCs) are the gainers at this time with more positive growth. This is a clear demonstration of the user industry maturing gradually. The Grinding Machine industry is still sluggish. I wonder when the market will mature for better consumption of these machines in tune with our GDP. Q3. How does UCAM is seeing the future for its Products? UCAM’S products have always enjoyed an excellent patronage from its customers who are both OEMs and end users. UCAM’s focus on providing the best engineered solution to its customers is amply evident from its tag line “Engineering Excellence. Exactly” The future is very exciting for UCAM and its products. The company has clear plans in place and poised to bring to its customers a new range of

products underlying the importance of efficiency, reliability and aesthetics.
Technology transformation will drive the machine tools industry in future Q. What trend will drive MACHINE TOOLS industry in near future ? L.J. Naidu: Multi-tasking machines capable of handling complex processes, Additive manufacturing, Cost efficient Automation solutions, Highly Intelligent cnc control systems for digitalization of manufacturing processes, Ultra precision machine tools will be few major trends in near future. Mr Andreas Zieger: Efficiency, flexibility and the interaction of machines. The globalisation is pushing the price fight, the scale effect is one solution to reduce the cost, but with high demand on quality. On the other side we see that optimised processes and integration of best technologies will bring additional benefits. Flexibility, is another challenge, the product cycle time becomes shorter and thus the invest needs to be flexible too. Machines need to be able to get adapted fast and easy to the new task. Finally the interaction of machines, on one side the mechanical connection to optimise a complete process and on the other side the data

connection, here chaotic machine usage, shorter shut down time, tool life optimisation and finally quality information leads to higher usage of the capacity. The OEM try to outsource not only parts but also design and process development and by that the machine tool builders take over a more important role in the partnership. EMAG has here a good technology portfolio, a new modular machine concept to integrate that technologies and for all machines a build in automation to integrate machines to line and that we bring in the partnership. Q. What is the impact of Union budget on the industry ? L.J. Naidu: FY 16-17 budget has projected significant investment towards Infrastructure projects like
Road/Railways/Port, this will drive investment into related Industry. At the same time, introduction of infrastructure cess & luxury tax on certain categories of passenger car vehicles is likely to have noxious effect on Automobile Industry. Mr Andreas Zieger: By focusing on education, infrastructure and defence it can be seen as initiator to set further development. Q. What are the remedies do you suggest to improve the positioning of the industry you are into ? L.J. Naidu: Rationalization of various taxes & cess for certain period, tax benefits for vehicles using alternate fuel technologies like Electric, Bio diesel etc… will help vehicle manufacturers plan their strategies on long term and will benefit overall depending industries to larger extent. Mr Andreas Zieger: To build up a multi technology industry with high quality standards to be recognized a partner in global industry world. MACHINE TOOLS WORLD | ACMEE 2016 |

Servo Application in Machine-Tool Industry
Mr. Manish Walia, VP-Industrial Automation, Delta Electronics India Pvt. Ltd.
A
machine tool is a machine for shaping or machining metal or other rigid materials, usually by cutting, boring, grinding, shearing, or other forms of deformation. Machine tools employ some sort of tool that does the cutting or shaping. All machine tools have some means of constraining the work piece and provide a guided movement of the parts of the machine. Thus the relative movement between the work piece and the cutting tool (which is called the tool path) is controlled or constrained by the machine to at least some extent, rather than being entirely “offhand” or “freehand”. According to a report, analysts forecast the global machine tool market to grow at a rate of 6.33% over the period 2013-2018. The machine tools market in the US is forecast to grow at a rate of 2.32% over the period 2013-2018. The Global Machine Tool Market 2014-2018 research report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global industry for the period 2014-2018. In terms of product, the market can be segmented into three: Metal Cutting Machine Tool, Metal Forming Machine Tool, and Machine Tool Accessories. Machine tools, such as metal cutting tools, metal forming tools, and machine tools accessories, are used to cut and shape metals and other materials during the
manufacturing of a product based on its specifications. These tools provide an effective and efficient method of manufacturing critical components with the utmost ease and accuracy. Machine tools are used extensively by companies across several sectors such as Automotive, General Machinery, Precision Engineering, Transport, Aerospace, and Dies and Mould. The report Machine Tools Market in the US 2014-2018 says one of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in private non-residential fixed investment. The Machine Tools market in the US has also been witnessing the increase in technological advancement in machine tools. However, the increasing use of plastic products across industries could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. This research has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report focuses on the US; it also covers the Machine Tools market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. The Machine Tools Markets in China 2014 research report says China’s demand for machine tools has grown at a fast pace in the past decade. In the next five years, both production and demand will
continue to grow. This new study examines China’s economic trends, investment environment, industry development, supply and demand, industry capacity, industry structure, marketing channels and major industry participants. Coming to servo systems, they can be used in CNC machining, factory automation, and robotics, among other uses. Their main advantage over traditional DC or AC motors is the addition of motor feedback. This feedback can be used to detect unwanted motion, or to ensure the accuracy of the commanded motion. The feedback is generally provided by an encoder of some sort. Servos, in constant speed changing use, have a better life cycle than typical AC wound motors. Servo motors can also act as a brake by shunting off generated electricity from the motor itself. A machine tool, also known as a “machine centre”, is used to cut and fabricate precision metal components for machinery. Its main applications are in industries such as automotive, aircraft, aerospace, military, machinery, moulding, electronics, and power stations. Machine tools, also called “mother machines” for giving birth to new mechanical products, are used for manufacturing the metal components of various mechanical devices and equipment. Machine tools are divided into three types: manual metal-cutting, numerical control (NC) and computerized numerical control (CNC). Based on customer demands and market trends, Delta Industrial Automation provides CNC controllers, spindle motors and drives, and AC servo motors and drives which offer constant speed, constant torque and the accurate position control required for machine tools. Through continued research and innovation, Delta Industrial Automation has launched the new high performance NC300 series CNC controller. It supports the standard ISO G-code format.
