DNA of CNC

he flutter of the ‘Made in India’ tag gives the similar feeling of patriotism as that of a fluttering Indian flag to every machinist and every manufacturer. The pride of creating and building a word class machine gives a bigger high than the profit it makes! But is the ‘Made in India’ tag as respected world-wide as we would want it to? The answer to this question is known to all of us and the steely grit with which the machinists and the manufacturers are working to change the status for better is an indication that we will prove our mettle very soon! This July, MMT also wears a similar color and tone as it gets into Quarterly Analysis of CNC Builders in India, where we study the current industry demands and customers’ buying behavior and the competition scenario. We also get into the DNA of the Top CNC builders in the India, where they share their strategies to tackle the downturn and tell us how to take corrective measures to be more competitive along with how to compete with global giants and enhance their capability. We also take on the big question: Why are CNCs not being manufactured in India by global giants? Talking about global giants, as per one of the surveys, the range of productivity across Indian producers is very wide, and the highest level attained in India is not very far below those of some Taiwanese competitors. This implies that benchmarking against best Indian practice may be a good strategy for many firms in the industry. Also the productivity gap between the leading Indian producer and world class levels is not as wide as the gap in wage rates. But an important contributory factor to shortcomings both in productivity and quality lies in the low output volumes of Indian firms, hence, the more important priority is to improve performance in quality, rather than productivity. Like one of the industry players put it, customers are looking for 3-4 main things. First, they want to reduce their dependence on labor because of shortage in many areas. Second, they want to put more intelligence in the machine so that the human error is reduced. Third, they want complete turnkey solution from a single source, which is the machine builder. The current trend in CNC industry has observed significant improvements in in-house design capability, entrepreneurial spirit, greater technology friendliness, operational flexibility and lean management that have combined to give a greater competitive edge resulting in a significant shift in machine tools production. Also, customers insist for multitasking trouble free machines, tooled up solutions with auto loading features due to shortage of skilled manpower. With all this and more action bundled in this edition, we are sure that we are able to deliver our positioning…of being your b2b partner in every sense of the word!

ROBOTURN: A Revolutionary Technology Roboturn Series are the world’s first CNC double spindle CNC turning centers with robot mounted on the machine structure as a standard feature. The feature includes compact machine with no extra space required for Robot outside the machine, complete automatic loading/unloading of components including transfer between spindles, increase efficiency level, greater reliability, no manual error, etc. This is first of its kind technology in India that is generating huge interest in Indian manufacturing industry. “It is the first time in India. Such products exist in advance countries like Germany and Japan. But generally their machines have single spindle, but we have developed for the first time Robot integrated double spindle and four spindle machines which helps in saving cost. Because, in this case one robot is looking after 2 spindles or 4 spindles that eventually help in saving cost”, says Sarup. Talking about the idea behind ROBOTURN, Sarup says, “It is not a 100% original idea; the idea entered our head when me and my brother Prashant Sarup, visited our ex-partner, M/s Spinner, Germany. We visited their automation factory called Spinner Automation in September 2008. We got the idea of how intelligent automation can be implemented in the machine. The next four year we were working on similar concept that

suits Indian industry.” Think tank of Marshall Machines had seen the future of this concept and was sure that one day India would need such products. “We formed a dedicated team for this particular product. People from three departments (Design, Engineering and Electronics) were working in this project. On January 10, 2013 we finally launched this product and have received FIE Foundation Award during IMTEX 2013”, continued Sarup. Talking about the customers benefits, Sarup adds “Compared to the conventional double spindle machine, Robot integrated Double Spindle machine gives better output (55% extra). This means, compared to a single spindle machine, ROBOTURN gives three times more output. There are other benefits such as higher productivity, speed, more efficiency, No accidents & Zero rejection which ensures fast ROI. The biggest factor is that it saves space and manpower. So the ROI in Robot integrated machine is less than 1.5 years.”

says Sarup. The motive behind Tech Week was to create awareness regarding the automation in manufacturing process and demonstrate ROBOTURN series machines. The event was a grand success as it provided visitors a practical experience of latest automated technologies. During the event, representatives of their partners in ‘Intelligent Automation’ such as KUKA (Germany) & FANUC (Japan) for Robots; SCHUNK (Germany) & SMC (Japan) for Grippers & Accessories; BLUM (Germany), Renishaw (UK) & Marposs (Italy) for Touch Probes and COGNEX (USA) for Vision System were also present to explain their technologies. “The main motive for promoting this event was that people who are interested in automation can touch, feel and understand the benefits of having CNC Double Spindle machines integrated with Robots. Secondly, we wanted to make them understand the fundamentals of Closed Loop Automated Production (CLAP). This technology goes beyond simple loading & unloading as done by Gantry Loaders and includes in-process measurement of components, statistical analysis & auto-correction in ‘Real Time’ without any intervention by operator” says Sarup. Marshall is one of those companies who are constantly striving to introduce futuristic technology backed by its strong R&D base. The company invests around 5% of its turnover in R&D activities. The grand success of Tech Week has proven that customers are looking for ‘Intelligent Automated’ solutions. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

The conference focused on advances in power plant automation, asset management, power plant performance optimisation and monitoring, IT in power plant automation, etc. N Murugesan, Director General, CPRI, in his address, said that power automation has reached maturity in grid management and transmission, but is yet to reach the desired standards in the distribution segment. PAC 2013 brought the critical need to focus on alternative energy to reduce the carbon footprint.

Technology & Innovation Solid Ceramic Endmills Set New Speed and Tool Life Benchmarks

erhaps the most basic assumption in machining is that cutting high-strength materials takes higher-strength tools. Proprietary nickel-based alloys used in gas and steam turbines, for example, are among the world’s strongest materials, continually being developed to allow power plants to run at much higher temperatures. This not only provides more power to those that need it, it increases plant efficiency and reduces or eliminates harmful emissions. But machining such materials can be a slow, laborious, and cost-intensive experience. In general, solid carbide tooling commonly runs at speeds between 65 and 200 SFM (20 to 60 m/min) in such materials with limited tool life. New Beyond KYS40™-grade solid ceramic

endmills from Kennametal, however, are presenting orders-of-magnitude improvements in machining highstrength nickel-based alloys, roughing at cutting speeds up to 3,300 SFM (1000 m/min) with tool life two to three times longer than comparable solidcarbide tools. Ceramic indexable inserts have their place today because they can operate at higher speeds in selected applications, but solid ceramic end mills were rarely seen because such tools were more brittle than carbide and did not perform well. In fact, many turbine manufacturers have taken to producing their own solid carbide end mills in house due to the high consumption of these tools. Kennametal’s new SiAlON KYS40 ceramic grade and the overall design of

Complex movements made easy

aumüller, with its “Coordinated Motion” components library, is now making robot and CNC functions usable within Motion Control SPS. This makes it easy for users to make coordinated movements on several axes. Only the programming languages included in IEC 61131 are used. Programming of path movements is done using the G-Code conforming to DIN 66025, which is widely known in the CNC world. By this means, the user can define trajectories, speeds and the workpiece coordinate system entirely freely within the workspace. The CNC program is loaded into the SPS system as a simple text file and can be as large as required. Thus data from CAD/CAM systems can also be used for programming the machine.

in conversation with Shankar Karnik

“India’s manufacturing

sector is growth

personified...”

Effective manufacturing is the result of a perfect concoction of machine, technology and skill. But the manufacturing set-up can crumble if one small element—choosing the right metal cutting fluid—is not taken into account. Shankar Karnik, Brand Manager - Asia Pacific Mobil SHC, ExxonMobil Lubricants Pvt Ltd, explains the role of cutting fluids in manufacturing and how Indian manufacturing is adopting high-end lubrication solutions, in a tete-a-tete with Debarati Basu Das. Q With manufacturing evolving,

how do you envision the metal cutting fluid market?

We operate in around 180 countries, but India is an emerging market that plays a key role in our business. Even though there is a significant slump in the economies of Europe and the US, Asia is the only market that is significantly growing with developing economies such as China and India. In India, there has been a slowdown over the last one year, but we are optimistic about the future. We see tremendous growth in the manufacturing sector in the next 3–5 years and are

MMT - July 2013

positioning ourselves appropriately for the same. From the product technology standpoint, ExxonMobil is well positioned to cater to new technology developments in terms of machinery, thoughts & ideas and mechanics. We have a wide range of lubricants such as aviation fuel, marine fuel, industrial & automotive fuel, asphalt, etc., which cater to different lines of business. Over the years, with the evolving technology, we have seen the trend of machinery becoming compact yet more productive. Here, lubricants play a significant role in helping the machinery take

additional pressure as they act as a medium to dissipate heat at the cutting point. They provide lubricity, reduce friction and thereby reduce the wear & tear of the tool. Hence, the right lubricant increases the tool life of component and equipment alike, thereby leading to more productivity.

Q What are the upcoming trends

in lubricant technology?

With machines becoming smaller and processes more stringent, the load on lubricants is increasing with the increasing speed and heat generated during machining. We have introduced a comprehensive

Shankar Karnik range of cutting oils like water soluble cutting oils and neat oils. The cutting oils come in various grades to fit the different types of machining activities. However, there are other aspects that new-age lubricants need to handle. Cutting oils need to be bio stable since in the presence of water and air, they are exposed to bacteria and can develop fungus. At the same time, they also need to address the issues of foaming and corrosion due to high oil content.

Q Will new machining

technologies like cryogenic machining eliminate the need for metalworking fluids completely?

Low-grade lubricants are considered to be non-biodegradable and harmful. Every machining operation requires a specific type of lubrication to optimise the process. Many alternative new machining technologies are available in every sector. I believe that technology should enhance a process with the least amount of waste generation. Although every technology has its own limitation, it does not make such a significant impact and they cannot take over the mainstream. Such technologies are for niche areas of manufacturing. It is more important to identify the right kind of lubrication. In any kind of machining, there are 3–4 crucial factors that need to be considered before selecting the right kind of lubricant, such as machining requirement, the metallurgy of the material being machined, the operation being conducted as well as supporting inputs like quality of water used. A small factor like low-quality water can have a significant impact on the machining oil’s performance. The Indian industry considers this, but it also needs to look at the environmental and regulatory aspects. While dealing with various markets, we realised that many global companies have framed their own best practices. For instance, they consider

some materials used to manufacture lubricants to be environmentally unfriendly as they affect the health and safety of operators. Hence, they avoid using materials like phenyl, chlorine, amines, etc. ExxonMobil’s technology has been developed to ensure that it is compliant with the regulatory, safety and health perspectives. This is the value addition that we have brought to India. The major advantage is that many Indian companies are becoming extremely export-focused; hence, these factors play an important role

With machines becoming smaller and processes more stringent, the load on lubricants is increasing with the increasing speed and heat generated during machining. in the selection of lubricants. This market is evolving and growing rapidly. We are well positioned to bring in the right thought process, technology and product with respect to not only economic development but also safety.

Q How is the local competition

dampening this thought process?

The market of local metal cutting fluid manufacturers is fragmented with several players. From the technology standpoint, their products are not technologically balanced. However, low-quality lubricants cater to low-end manufacturing, which does not play an integral role in the export market or high-end automotive manufacturing.

Q What kind of competition do

you face in the market?

Various MNCs offer technology that is almost at par with what we offer. But when it comes to the overall area of balanced formulation and providing the right kind of benefits while keeping in mind the sustainability perspective, we have a strong market and have no competition.

Q How do you make your

solutions cost-effective for Indian MSMEs?

The issue here does not relate to cost; it relates to how many companies value quality, safety and environment. We have various customers both big and small. The number of machines does not matter, it is the perception of quality and process that matters. Our company’s philosophy is to ensure that our products provide customers with sustainability benefits that will affect the long-term sustenance of their business.

Q What does the future of

the Indian manufacturing industry look like?

If you look at India’s GDP, the manufacturing sector is growth personified with many opportunities opening up. Global OEMs are eager to enter the Indian manufacturing industry to set up their own shops. Moreover, the major sectors that will contribute to the growth of the Indian manufacturing industry are automotive, infrastructure, construction and energy. The demand in all these sectors will constantly increase. There is a flurry of activities happening in each of these segments with major investments coming into India. This will give a huge impetus to the manufacturing industry as machines and equipment will play key roles. Hence, with the growth of the manufacturing industry, the market for metal cutting fluids will certainly be ripe. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

CNC Manufacturing:

Cutting Through

Global Turbulence

n the last two decades, the Indian metalworking industry has advanced rapidly with the development and adaptation of sophisticated CNC machines. Moreover, a good number of global and local CNC manufacturers are gearing up to tap the vast Indian market. In acknowledgement of the demand for high-end technology, currently, the demand for CNC machines with high productivity, flexibility and multitasking capabilities is increasing.

Current Industry Scenario

The size and diversity of the Indian manufacturing industry has resulted in the demand for all types of CNC machines, ranging from 3-axis to 5-axis and from cost-effective to high-end technology. This requirement has created opportunities for local as well as global players. While global players are tapping 42

MMT - July 2013

Multinational Corporations (MNCs) and big players, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are dominated by local companies. Talking about customer demand, S Ravishankar, Dy Managing Director, Yamazaki Mazak India Pvt Ltd, says, “We can divide customer demand in two categories: (1) Corporates and Tier 1 suppliers who focus on technology, automation, multitasking and complete solutions, with the main suppliers being multinational machine tool companies; and (2) SMEs and Tiers 2 & 3 suppliers who look for standalone machines and affordable general purpose machines, with the main suppliers being local machine tool companies.” Apart from this, the general scenario is that Indian companies are gearing up to adopt automated solutions. Even the SMEs in the country have realised that they need to upgrade their technology levels in order to tap the global market

The Indian manufacturing industry is on a roller-coaster ride. While the country is showcasing its potential at the international circuit and is at the threshold of global acceptance, the global economic situation is clipping its wings. This has also had a huge impact on Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machine manufacturers. Nishant Kashyap & Debarati Basu Das analyse the last quarter performance and growth dynamics of CNC builders in India. and find customers in big MNCs. This has also forced companies to introduce cost-effective machines that cater to customers’ demands. “The current trend in the CNC industry has observed significant improvements in terms of in-house design capability, entrepreneurial spirit, technology friendliness, operational flexibility and lean management, which have combined to give a greater competitive edge resulting in a significant shift in machine tool production. Also, customers insist on multitasking, trouble-free machines and tooled up solutions with auto loading features due to shortage of skilled manpower,” says Rupesh Mehta, MD, Macpower CNC Machines Pvt Ltd. Sreekanteswar S, President - India Sales & Operation, Körber Schleifring GmbH, says, “The Indian manufacturing industry is taking the path that global industries have already set out on. Several MNCs are in the process of starting their operations in India and most of them tend to replicate similar processes at their existing plants in other countries.” Focus on smart technology is also one of the trends that India is observing. Many companies today demand highly automated smart CNC machines. According to AN Chandramouli,

Market Analysis

MD, Starragheckert Machine Tools Pvt Ltd, “Intelligent features such as thermal compensations, anti-collision and antigravity are now popular options in such machines. Apart from this, automation through FMS systems is becoming popular due to increasing variety and reducing batch sizes.”

Customer Demand

Today, Indian consumers have become well aware owing to globalisation and advent of global players. They not only demand the best-in-class technology but also require excellent service and support. According to AK Kothari, Chairman, Kothari Group, the holding company of Bharat Fritz Werner (BFW), “The Indian consumer of CNC metal cutting machines is pragmatic. Aware of most of the latest developments in the world, he is also abreast of the ground realities. He carefully weighs what serves best the requirement at the lowest expenditure now and in future. High speed, high cutting rate, weight reduction, environment friendliness, etc. are a given, but since most operations still depend on human interaction, buyers give importance to operator comfort, ease of maintenance, low downtime and the human face of the supplier. Sustained performance carries greater importance than advanced but inconsistent technology. The consumer typically desires a long spindle life, ability to perform in adverse duty conditions, good safe-load capacity and better aesthetics. Many BFW customers write to us expressing their satisfaction on saving cycle time, which is sometimes more than 50%.”

Quarterly Analysis

Owing to the economic slowdown in Europe, companies are focusing on the Asian market. Although the recession has not affected the European market to a great extent, it has affected global demand. This is the reason that many companies’ sales have either dropped or have been stable in the last quarter as compared to the previous one. “The last quarter performance was lower than the previous quarters. However, we hope to

get more orders in this quarter,” says Ravishankar. Though the demand has dropped in the country, it is better than that in European countries, with the CNC machine industry witnessing a minor growth overall. According to Ed Hilligrass, Executive VP - CSO, Diversified Machine Systems (DMS), “We are experiencing rapid growth in Indian markets, with a recent custom machine sale for a large composites client located in Goa. We expect the 2013 sales in that region to increase by 25% over last year’s figures.” Many companies believe that during slowdown, the best strategy is to focus on R&D and enhancing the capability. “Due to recession and slowdown in the Indian economy, our performance has been at par with last year due to proactive planning, effective marketing strategies and focus on R&D. Hence, rather than reducing costs, we are investing in R&D, strengthening manufacturing systems and training,” avers Mehta. Kothari believes, “BFW, with its subsidiary Matec Maschinenbau GmbH, had a rather stagnant 2012–13 as compared to the year 2011–12. Our highend machining centres, special machines and low-cost knee type milling machines sold rather well and we maintained our leadership in most of the segments.” Terrence Miranda, MD, HAAS Automation India Pvt Ltd, reveals, “Sales for us in India were good in Q1: Jan, Feb and Mar with over 180 machines booked. The 2nd quarter Q2: Apr, May and June have been comparatively slower in part due to the market conditions and also an unfavourable exchange rate with the Rupee dropping significantly against

most major currencies such as the USD, EUR and JYEN.”

The Way Ahead

Whlie the last quarter witnessed a drop in demand as compared to the previous quarter, the year ahead looks promising. Many companies expect the market to regain strength and create opportunities for CNC machines. Mehta points out, “We look forward to a favourable budget, lower interest rates, encouraging government policies after election in 2014 and a boom in the automobile sector, which will boost the performance of this sector to the next level.” Sreekanteswar adds, “The year 2013 will not give us too much to discuss. Half the year is already through with the markets showing no signs of noticeable improvement. However, the industry is expected to turn around in the year 2014. While inflation is down to a comfortable level, interest levels are on a downward slide. Only the current sentiments of buyers and investors are not buoyant, which has led to a delay in the recovery of the growth in the Indian industry.” Although the last quarter ended on a negative note, better infrastructure and growth of the automobile industry in addition to the emergence of the aerospace and electrical & electronics industries will surely increase the demand for CNCs in the country. Apart from this, SMEs in the country are also taking interest in automated products to make a mark in the global market, thereby further propelling the industry. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Global Recession Deals a Blow Every segment of the manufacturing industry has been hit by the recession worldwide. While the entire industry has seen a downward slide, Computer Numeric Control (CNC) builders have had to face the brunt in a big way as well. However, while the industry is whispering the much dreaded ‘R’ word recalling the economic disasters of 2008– 09, this time, the industry seems to be prepared to face the consequences. Nishant Kashyap tracks the current impact of recession on the industry. focus on R&D, increase their product portfolio and focus on emerging markets.

he global slowdown has left no Indian industry untouched. The manufacturing industry has witnessed a fall in CNC sales, which has compelled companies to rethink their strategies and plans accordingly. A noteworthy fact is that companies focusing on other sectors, apart from automotive, were not affected much and witnessed stable demand. According to Sreekanteswar S, President, India - Sales & Operation, Körber Schleifring GmbH, “The calendar year 2013 will not have much to discuss. Half the year is already through with the markets showing no signs of noticeable improvement. However, the industry is expected to turn around in the year 2014. The monsoon has been extremely good this year and inflation is 44

down to a comfortable level. However, interest levels are on a downward path with the current sentiments of buyers and investors not being buoyant. This is leading to a delay in the recovery of growth in the Indian industry.”

Impact of the Slowdown

As we know, most CNC builders in the country witnessed a drop in their sales in this quarter as compared to the previous one. The biggest reason is that the automobile industry, which is the biggest consumer of CNC machines, has slowed down and has not purchased an adequate amount of machines. This is also the biggest reason behind companies looking at other growing and promising sectors such as infrastructure, aerospace, medical, consumer durables, etc. The current slowdown has made companies

What Went Wrong?

While the global economy has laid its cards, Indian manufacturers are now pinning their hopes on the government to bring in positive reforms to revive manufacturing. S Ravishankar, Dy Managing Director, Yamazaki Mazak India Pvt Ltd, says, “There are two major reasons for the slowdown. First has been the government’s inaction. Various scams & irregularities and ineffective decision-making have led to the current situation and this process can only improve if we have a clean and stable government. Secondly, the hardening of interest rates too has hit the industry. Hence, measures are required to improve the supply and reduce the current account deficit.” AN Chandramouli, MD, Starragheckert Machine Tools Pvt Ltd, opines, “The slowdown has severely

Recession Strategies affected the overall industry, especially the high-end Horizontal Machine Centre (HMC) segment. With an Index of Industrial Production (IIP) of 2% average, the available industry manufacturing capacity can comfortably last for the year 2013 and 2014. However, the exchange rate devaluation with respect to Euro, USD & JPY has seriously affected the competitiveness of imports in general (although countrywise variations are different). Due to high capacity and low demand, there is immense pressure on prices and margins for the few orders maturing from April 2013 onwards.” On a positive note, Chandramouli further adds, “Some sectors such as tractor are now utilising their capex in anticipation of good monsoons. Diesel generation, power generation, construction, oil & natural gas, process industry sectors are showing a steady growth of 15% resulting in commensurate growth in the valve industry. Hence, machine builders are shifting their efforts to such ‘non-auto’ sectors.

The current slowdown has made companies focus on R&D, increase their product portfolio and focus on emerging markets. thought to expanding their capability. Tackling the Big ‘R’

While there is general pessimism throughout the market, industry magnets have been quick to confront the current situation and look forward to brighter days ahead. The industry has realised that they need alternatives to optimise all that they are left with. AK Kothari, Chairman, Kothari Group, the holding company of Bharat Fritz Werner (BFW), suggests, “Every business cycle has its ups and downs. It cannot remain constantly on the downturn—no slowdown can be eternal. I hope to see consolidation setting in the third quarter and a revival making an entry in the last quarter of the current financial year. Till that happens, the industry is expected to keep its head down, focus on research and development, extract greater value from all its activities & assets and try to achieve cost leadership.” Taking a different route and having a futuristic vision will certainly help prepare for the market when it opens up. As Ed Hilligrass, Executive VP - CSO, Diversified Machine Systems (DMS) suggests, “We have been experiencing constant growth and will be moving into a larger international headquarters this month, which allows us to expand our production capacities to serve our demand. Overall, the industry is growing due to heightened demand within the composites material industry.” Hence, while it is a bad phase, the industry is moving ahead with the belief that the good phase is around the corner. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

How competitive is the Indian CNC industry? The growing manufacturing industry in India has attracted several global Computer Numeric Control (CNC) builders, owing to which competition has increased drastically in the country. A few domestic companies have risen to the challenges in terms of demand and competition and are giving a tough fight to global companies. Debarati Basu Das, along with some industry experts, finds out the current level of competition in the country. AK Kothari, Chairman, Kothari Group, Holding Company of Bharat Fritz Werner (BFW) Some significant machine tools are produced overseas. These machine tools incorporate state-of-the-art technology and are an operator’s delight. Prominent machine tool builders in India have also worked upon and improved their products by several notches. This is a healthy situation. BFW, apart from providing greater value through existing products and services, launched new products in January 2013 and continues to offer Spinner turning solutions and Matec machining centres to serve the high-end segment.

AN Chandramouli, MD, Starragheckert Machine Tools Pvt Ltd

We have witnessed some significant rends in the industry: n Used machine imports are becoming the need of the hour n The defence sector picked up many machines from local manufacturers in 2012–2013 n Imported Horizontal Machining Centres (HMCs) are still preferred by precision automobile manufacturers n Japanese and Germans are still at the top of the technology-price pyramid followed by Koreans and Indians in terms of HMCs n Starrag WMW is rolling out ‘German Technology’ machines from the Indian facility, thus combining the advantages of technology, competitiveness in value and response time, in addition to local support of tooled up solutions and service support.

The Verdict

Sreekanteswar S, President – India, Sales & Operation, Körber Schleifring GmbH As the market has shrunk, the competition is severe for both local as well as global machine tool manufacturers. Intelligent customers with a long-term perspective can make use of the current situation to get machines at attractive prices. The pressure is more on domestic manufacturers as their market has dropped considerably and their production capacity is not being utilised. Global machine tool manufacturers are better placed as the demand for machines from the US, Europe and China has improved. Thus, players with a global customer base are not much affected. In fact, most European machine tool manufacturers are currently in a good situation with respect to the orders received in the current year.

Rupesh Mehta, MD, Macpower CNC Machines Pvt Ltd The Indian machine tool industry has a lot going for it right now. The domestic market for our product line is buoyant and this is helping increase the volumes for both Indian and global machine tool builders. In a short period of seven years, Macpower CNC is now amongst the top 5 players due to a strong sales & service network, USP in design and aggressive R&D.

While it is true that competition is increasing by the day in India, it has also had a positive impact on the market. Competition has pushed global companies to introduce the latest and innovative products in the Indian market. On the other hand, in order to survive, domestic players are working on R&D and giving tough competition to the global players. This proves to be a win-win situation for customers as well as the growing market. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

special focus One Q Many Views

Is India shying away from being a manufacturing base? Almost all the global CNC builders have made their presence felt in India in terms of technology centres, sales & service networks, dealerships, etc. However, they have not made India as their manufacturing base. Nishant Kashyap asks a few industry experts the reasons behind the same. Terrence Miranda, MD, Haas Automation India Pvt Ltd HAAS Automation Inc USA annually sells around 15,000 CNCs worldwide. India accounts for less than 5% of our worldwide sales. Even in larger markets such as China where HAAS sales volumes are higher, there is no plan to set up a manufacturing plant there. The over 1 million sq ft HAAS facility in Oxnard California is one the most advanced manufacturing facilities for CNC Machine Tools worldwide and uses extremely lean and efficient manufacturing techniques with a high level of automation. The around 1,200 HAAS employees at the Oxnard facility which is the only HAAS manufacturing facility worldwide includes management, engineers and machinists. This single facility builds and ship over 1,200 machines each month which is testimony to the effectiveness and scale of the manufacturing and automation in use at our Oxnard plant.

TK Ramesh, CEO, Micromatic Machine Tools Pvt Ltd In the global machine tool industry, extensive engineering input is needed between a standard machine and a tooled up solution. Foreign players consider engineering inputs through tech centres that help add higher value than manufacturing. Also, unlike automotive, Indian manufacturing is not conducive to machine tools as manufacturers have to depend on imports for various parts and products. Hence, it is not attractive enough for foreign players to manufacture in India, while tech centres add value.

The Verdict

S Ravishankar, Dy Managing Director, Yamazaki Mazak India Pvt Ltd The key to deciding on the manufacturing aspect has always been volume. Eventually, once the volumes pick up, manufacturing activities will commence. It is only a question of time. The second important consideration is the availability of land and infrastructure at affordable costs, which can be a driving force for the investments made in manufacturing.

Ed Hilligrass, Executive VP - CSO, Diversified Machine Systems (DMS) The shortage of experienced and skilled CNC machining technicians in the talent pool limits India’s ability to be a skilled manufacturing base for global manufacturing companies.

‘Volume should justify the investment in manufacturing’ … this is the common thinking amongst professionals associated with machine tool companies. Despite being a growing manufacturing hub in terms of industry output, the consumption of CNC machines in the country has not matched that of global manufacturing destinations. Apart from volume, other factors such as infrastructure and talent pool also restrict companies in setting up their manufacturing base in India. However, it is only a matter of time that India will create a huge demand while solving infrastructure-related issues and witness the much expected growth. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

FUTURE CTS E P S O R P

Empowe ing

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines have a massive demand, with the diverse customer range creating opportunities for both cost-effective and high-end machines. Generally, in India, highend solutions are dominated by foreign players, while cost-effective solutions are catered to by Indian CNC builders. As Indian companies are looking to make their mark in high-end markets, Nishant Kashyap suggests some corrective measures that they should adopt to become more competitive.

“B

efore anything else, getting ready is the secret of success” … these golden words by Henry Ford, Founder, Ford Motor, set us thinking about the biggest concern in the Indian industry as of now: “Are Indian CNC manufacturers happy serving the existing customers or are they ready to take the next step? The country has created a huge demand for all kinds of CNC builders, which is the main reason that very few companies have given thought to expanding their capability. However, in order to grow, they need to enhance their capability, invest in R&D and people instead of following the conventional business module.

Invest in New Product Development

Yes, India lags behind in certain areas of technology. Companies have not been able to develop certain niche technologies and complex & highprecision machines, since research activities are still not completely practiced by many companies. It is high 50

MMT - July 2013

time India starts focusing on R&D; also, companies needs to invest more and more in technology in terms of adoption as well as development. AK Kothari, Chairman, Kothari Group, the holding company of Bharat Fritz Werner, says, “Indian companies have a broad classification. Most of the machine tool production in India is achieved by about 10 companies that hold strong positions and have a loyal customer base. These companies are conscious about what they do and how they do it. India also has hundreds of other manufacturers, some of whom manufacture less than 10 machines a year. If these companies wish to become bigger and better, they will have to establish and observe globally acceptable processes in terms of research and development, human resource development, manufacturing, marketing and selling.” To be competitive and export machines, it is mandatory for companies to develop cutting-edge technology. Only a few companies have truly focused on innovation, which needs to change. S Ravishankar, Dy MD, Yamazaki Mazak India Pvt Ltd, feels, “Indian companies need to invest more in technology

development, application research and brand building exercises. These activities should aim towards targeting the global benchmarks.”

Invest in Human Capital

India has a good number of engineers and technicians whose expertise is available at a lower cost as compared to that available in any other part of the world. Our engineers are capable of high-quality designing and modelling, provided that proper guidance and training is given to them. The machine tool industry has not received the required support from the government in terms of education. There are very few courses on machine tools available in the country. Majority of the engineers learn about machine tool technologies when they join a company; keeping this in mind, companies should initiate training programmes for their employees as the biggest challenge in the development of a cutting-edge technology is having the right set of people. There are a few training programmes and initiatives conducted by certain Indian associations that companies should utilise apart from educating employees in-house. Ed Hilligrass,

Corrective Measures Executive VP, DMS, feels, “In the scenarios that we have witnessed, the biggest gap lies in the skill sets and training with respect to 5-axis machines and their manufacturing processes.”

Invest in Innovative Marketing Tools

Branding and promotion of technologies/products is another area that companies need to focus upon. Merely developing technology will not help if it has not been promoted in the right manner. To export the product, Indian companies will have to adopt some innovative marketing tools, such as social networking sites, apart from conventional methods. In recent years, social media has emerged as one of the most important and smart marketing tools. Global companies are using social media extensively to promote their brand worldwide, but Indian companies are not even aware of the importance it holds. Social media is the best platform to promote one’s products in various countries by investing a few hours. Another area of doing online business is e-commerce websites. Here, a company can sell its products in overseas markets. Manoj Kumar, Director, Apex Group, points out, “The Indian machine tool industry is generally conservative; the awareness levels of e-commerce and social networking platforms are very low. The industry is still not comfortable with selling or buying machines over the Internet. Companies are more happy setting up a showroom and a dealer network rather than optimising the opportunities available through the web. But why not try selling something online to overseas customers? If Indian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) need to export, they should open up e-commerce channels and use social media as a marketing tool. It is the cheapest way of selling and promoting one’s products.”

Invest in Infrastructure

Infrastructure is one of the biggest challenges as well as opportunities in India. The country is going through 52

MMT - July 2013

´ The automotive industry drives the demand for CNC manufacturers

a phase of rapid development, which is the biggest reason that we need better infrastructure. The infrastructure industry is going to be one of the main focus areas for machine tool builders in the country, but they need to work on

The country has created a huge demand for all kinds of CNC builders, which is the main reason that very few companies have given thought to expanding their capability. their own infrastructure. Indian facilities do not even come closer to their western counterparts. Indian SMEs have not given much importance to techniques such as automation, maintenance, recycling, etc. as they are not aware of the fact that such techniques can increase their productivity, thereby

saving a lot of capital.

Invest in Capacity Expansion

There are many CNC builders in India who manufacture less than 20 CNC machines in a year. Since the demand is huge in the country, all the machines are consumed and having sold all their machines, companies do not feel the need to go beyond their comfort zones. This thinking has to change … they need to come out of their cocoons and expand. They should increase their capacity to not only sustain in the Indian market but also capture the bigger/ global market. Another reason is that once global/bigger companies enter the market with their expertise, they might capture the entire market, which will eventually affect Indian SMEs as they will then find it difficult to sustain. Opportunities are huge in the Indian market, with demand for all kinds of products and companies. Indian CNC builders just need to work on their capabilities, R&D, employee management, etc. to make the most of this fruitful situation. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

global network, which is sector specific. This is because the requirement always comes from a sector. For example, we have specialists for steel applications in our headquarters, China and India. These nations have a worldwide network and work together. So, if there is a technical problem in China, an engineer can go to the network and connect with his/her colleague sitting in Brazil and get solutions to the problem. Through this global network, Asian customers can also avail easy solutions to specific problems. Employee retention is also a source of concern; it has always been a challenge in any country,” adds Treffer. Schaeffler invests a lot in training its employees. “It is all about selecting the right people, training them well, providing a good management structure and offering them the right career

opportunities,” states Treffer. At the academic level, Schaeffler also works closely with universities and participates in several mentoring and teaching schemes. Additionally, the company organises an event called ‘Schaeffler Symposium’—an automotive customer event held every four years with special presentations about the Schaeffler Group’s innovations and visions for the future.

Vision & Mission

Schaeffler has a vision ‘to be a worldclass supplier of bearings and precision components’. To achieve this, the company has adopted strategies for various geographies and sectors. For instance, the company is investing and focusing heavily on the Asian market. According to Treffer, “The Asian market is the most important market for us in terms of future growth. We have a strong production footprint in Asia with production facilities in India, China, Korea and Thailand. Initially, we faced challenges in the Asian market; but challenges are a part of doing business.” Treffer continues, “We are technology- and innovation-driven and have applications for almost all sectors. We understand the exact requirements of customers and work closely with them in coming up with the best solutions for them.” “Our philosophy is to provide the best engineered solutions to customers. Our aim is to not only be a solutions provider but also be a development partner for our customers,” he adds. The company is also ahead in terms of ascertaining the future trends and developing solutions as per the future needs such as energy efficiency, power density integration of electronic components and reduction of lubricant & grease. In the near future, Schaeffler aims to become the preferred design and application consultant and the leading supplier of bearings and precision components in selected market niches. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

Speaking at the occasion, Fujino said, “The main motivation towards creating such a compendium is to facilitate information and technology exchange between companies. In GreenShoots, the accompanying case studies with each of the discussed ‘green’ technologies ensure that companies realise that these measures are indeed implementable.”

Enlightening Panel Discussion

To further shed light on the importance of green manufacturing, the unveiling ceremony for the compendium was soon followed by a panel discussion, which was moderated by Godrej. At the panel discussion, Godrej expressed, “The major challenges for industries of all sizes have been growth and sustainability. I believe that innovation, together with sustainability, is becoming a cornerstone for many companies, especially for SMEs. Products that are developed nowadays are being examined from the perspective of being recyclable and reusable.” Substantiating his thoughts on the importance of green, Godrej highlighted that the US alone can save US$40 billion every year in energy and other resource costs, if it adopts green buildings.

Further elaborating on the same subject, Maira said that SMEs have been the leaders in innovation. They have offered many successful recycled products, which have been made using recycled materials. “The rate of innovation and usage of materials is so rapid that we will need to have a paradigm shift in our manufacturing capacity. We have to define sustainability. Once we do this, our carbon footprint will be reduced and we will become smarter consumers. In my opinion, going green will be profitable for any business. To support the growth of China and India for the next 30 years, we will need another earth … we have to promote a sustainable world instead of mere growth,” he averred. Giving a perspective of the initiatives taken by UNIDO, Fujino said, “We are trying to look into the challenges

(related to finance, technology, infrastructure, etc.) that SMEs have to face in terms of being sustainable so that we can help them move forward. We are jointly working with many SMEs and industry associations along with the government to devise a framework, where a specific sectororiented approach for technologies can be developed, supported, promoted and then applied.” In the closing remarks of the session, Jamshyd highlighted that the industry should be proactive in adopting green practices; they should see green ‘as a benefit and not as a threat’. Going forward, he pointed out that going green should not be driven by government subsidies. “The moment it is made mandatory, sectors will opt for green technologies only because of the policy support that is available and not July 2013 - MMT

because of the benefits they will bring to their manufacturing establishments,” he cautioned.

The Green Competitive Edge

According to Mahendra Singh Dhakad, Programme Director, UNIDO ICAMT, “Opting for green technologies will offer SMEs a competitive edge in the business world. It is time that we consider ‘green’ beyond a marketing ploy; adopting green practices can be the next big thing for companies today.” He also pointed out that there are a lot of existing myths in the industry towards the adoption of green technologies. For instance, there is a general perception in the manufacturing fraternity that eco-friendly technologies and materials are expensive, it will incur a huge cost to shift from the conventional method of production processes to their green forms, etc. “This compendium aims to guide SMEs on the ways and means to reduce their operation costs by making simple and inexpensive improvements in their respective manufacturing facilities,” Dhakad informed. Dhakad added that the compendium incorporates energy-efficient production techniques, ways to reduce emissions & use of hazardous materials and environment-friendly waste disposal solutions & practices, among other ecofriendly recycling related techniques. Additionally, UNIDO ICAMT has 64

undertaken energy audit programmes under its project for various industrial belts. They are taking several initiatives across various industrial sectors to promote eco-friendly manufacturing practices and reduce the consumption of resources. Agreeing with his views, Shailesh Sheth, Corporate Strategy Advisor & Senior National Consultant, UNIDO, stated, “It is a pleasure for me to discover that in a small industry like machine tools, tremendous work is being done towards creating awareness for green manufacturing or environment-friendly manufacturing.” Highlighting the growth of the Indian machine tool sector, he proudly referred to the country’s machine tool industry developing the heaviest and the largest parts of the Tokamak, as reported by one of the popular media agencies. Tokamak is the machine behind the biggest scientific collaboration on the planet, to produce unlimited supplies of cheap, clean, safe and commercial viable energy from atomic fusion. Commenting on the magnitude of the project, Sheth explained, “Tokamak will weigh 23,000 tonne—the weight of around three Eiffel Towers—with a plasma volume of 840 cubic metre. This is a unique opportunity for the country to show that fusion can be a credible and sustainable alternate energy source

for human civilisation, especially for countries like India and China. With the background of depleting fossil fuel reserves and rising carbondioxide (CO2) emission concerns, I think this project can be the lifeline of the industry. It is high time we inject green in our DNA rather than wear it on our sleeves.” Wrapping up the event, Deepak Ballani, National Programme Officer, UNIDO ICAMT, said that there is indeed a market for green technologies. He urged the industry to take up various measures towards implementing ecofriendly manufacturing technologies. Besides, he asked the industry to follow success stories and achievements that have been made on this front. This will allow them to follow and undertake measures in terms of creating a positive impact on the environment and also allow for sustainable development. Referring to the compendium, he said it will play a key role in guiding SMEs from other industries to move in the same direction so that they can benefit by using these mechanisms.

Green is Just the Beginning

Greening the manufacturing ecosystem is all about integrating economic development along with protecting the environment. As part of the continuing efforts to further promote the cause of green manufacturing techniques, the Eco-Entrepreneurs Awards 2014 will be organised next year. The event aims at recognising the eco-friendly efforts taken by entrepreneurs and their companies for implementing green manufacturing practices. Given that the legislation pertaining to conserving the environment takes effect gradually, especially in developing nations, companies look to incorporate innovative practices to transform into ‘green’ establishments.

Machine Weight Reduction

Lightweight

Components in the Making…

Accuracy, reliability, cost-efficiency … qualities like these define a machine for what it is. In the quest to increase the value of machines while staying true to the environment, several threads are bound together to make machines more efficient and green. One such thread is the optimisation of power consumption through the weight reduction of dynamic machine elements, such as structures under movement, without compromising on stiffness and functionality. However, successful reduction in machine weight depends on the development of new materials and their subsequent deployment in machines, for instance, lightweight structural designs.

he power efficiency of machine tools can be improved by using high-efficiency motors, low-friction feed drive system, high-efficiency cooling systems and techniques of low power consumption during machine idling. The weight reduction of machines can also prove fruitful in reducing consumption. This brings us to think: How does

weight reduction actually materialise? A machine’s weight can be substantially reduced by replacing certain parts originally manufactured in metal by those manufactured out of lightweight metals such as composite materials-based metal matrix composites.

Here’s Why You Need Lightweight Machines Modern machine tools have to meet requirements such as precision, productivity and reliability. Due to the constantly increasing demand, extremely stiff mechanical systems are implemented with the capability to absorb arising inertia forces. As a consequence, the mass of machine structures, such as moving machine components, has to be increased. Here, the majority of the mass serves dynamical stiffness, whereas a fractional part performs the kinematic tasks. The high amount of mass, in turn, requires motors with high torque output, which increase the force needed during acceleration and deceleration. This results in high energy consumption and increase in costs.

A clamping device made of carbon fibre instead of steel is as much as 66% lighter, stronger and even more rigidâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; with identical clamping force values.

Unplugging Machine Weight Reduction In order to reduce the machine mass and realise energy savings, two strategies can be pursued at the same time: g

Replacement of Currently Implemented Materials with Lightweight Alternatives

An overview of different lightweight materials illustrates that not only material characteristics but also specific costs and technical mastery are of high relevance when choosing a potential material. Therefore, it is expected that titanium and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Carbon (CFRC) materials are applied only to special machine tool parts for highly specific applications, as are hybrid structures. The use of epoxy resins, polymer cement, mineral bed castings etc. is highly recommended. The more the technological mastery, the higher will be the use of hybrid structures of aluminium, polymer cement, steel and technical ceramics for lightweight constructions.

Structure Optimisation of Machine Components to Allow Material Reduction

Structure optimisation reduces the weight of moving parts and minimises energy consumption and costs. The crucial factors for evaluating structure quality are mass, static stiffness (tool deviation from the predefined path caused by applied forces), natural frequencies (definition of the dynamic behaviour in the closed control loop) and deflection (dead weight during acceleration). Setting these factors into relation, a measure for realising a mass with the required characteristics can be obtained. Traditionally, the design engineer carries out structure optimisation using practical knowledge. In the past, several methods for automated topology optimisation were developed and applied. Using Finite Element Method (FEM) calculations, iterative adjustments of the initial structure to the reduced amount of materials were also realised. Here, the result of the adjustments does not influence the mechanical characteristics of the materials. Mass reduction, i.e. mass optimisation, in principle, is possible for all machine tools. Besides the potentially additional design efforts, there are no additional costs of implementing this option. On the contrary, material savings are directly related to cost and energy savings.

The power used during the cutting process forms only 25% of the total power typically consumed by the machine.

Realising the Potential… National Chung Cheng University (CCU) in Taiwan has developed: l Lightweight structural design based on topology optimisation l Lightweight material made of magnesium matrix composites l Dynamic analysis of parallel kinematic machines

…and Benefitting From it l Bharat Fritz Werner (BFW) India has—through the development of the VMC-Agni machine— implemented the electrical power saving concept of lightweighting. By using the FEM analysis, it optimised the structure of the machine components and thereby reduced material weight. l Trumpf Sachsen GmbH, in cooperation with Fraunhofer IWU, developed a crossbar of a laser cutting machine using a CFRC material. This CFRC material is superior to metallic materials in many ways (e.g. stiffness, stability, damping, fatigue strength and thermal expansion). This led to not only a mass reduction of 50% but also a twofold increase in the component stiffness.

Say Yes to Machine Weight Reduction! Remarkable energy saving

Reduction in machine footprint

Conclusion Reducing the size and weight of parts is a good way to improve fuel economy and save resources. Replacement of materials with lightweight alternatives has proven to be one of the best ways to reduce energy consumption. This process can save high amount of energy and prove fruitful with respect to business as well as environment.

Minimum Quantity Lubrication

Innovation & Efficiency in Every

The risks involved in machining with coolants have been emphasised for a while now. Coolants are said to be harmful to humans, cause pollution and have a high maintenance cost. Tackling this problem at the forefront is minimum quantity lubricationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a new machining method that delivers the minimum required quantity of lubricant mixed with air and performs machining through a continuous supply of an oil/air mixture to the cutting edges.

inimum quantity lubrication is a method that makes it possible to reduce the amount of coolant used. With growing concerns over the negative effects of cutting fluids on people and the environment as well as high maintenance costs, reduction in the usage of coolants is highly essential. In conventional mass production systems such as in the automotive industry, a large volume of cutting fluids is used to improve productivity and machining accuracy.

Unplugging Minimum quantity lubrication Minimum quantity lubrication refers to the use of cutting fluidsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;typically with a flow rate of 5 ml/minâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;rather than the amount commonly used in flood cooling condition, where, for example, up to 5 litres of fluid can be dispensed per minute. The lubricant will be atomised so finely by a precise dosing technology that there will be no visible spray. The resultant thin lubricating film remains there even under high pressure and reduces the friction energy during the machining process.

Types of Minimum quantity lubrication Technological differentiation In volumetric metering systems, both lubricant and air are supplied to a spray nozzle or mixing point via coaxial feed lines. The lubricant is then atomised using compressed air and applied to the work zone. In a continually dispensing system, oil mist is generated in the supply unit. A feed line supplies the aerosol to the work zone. Application-orientated differentiation With external minimum quantity lubrication, the aerosol is supplied to the lubrication point from the outside through nozzles. Using internal minimum quantity lubrication, the tool applies the aerosol directly to the lubrication point.

MMT - July 2013

The use of minimum quantity lubrication leads to a 13% decrease in the overall cost as well as a better cutting tool life.

The Green Quotient The concept of minimum quantity lubrication, sometimes referred to as ‘near dry lubrication’ or ‘micro lubrication’, had been suggested a decade ago as a means to address the issues of environmental intrusiveness and occupational hazards associated with airborne cutting fluid particles on factory shop floors. The minimisation of cutting fluids also leads to economical benefits by way of saving lubricant costs and workpiece/tool/machine cleaning cycle time. This technique combines the advantages of dry processing with those of flood lubrication. In addition, the necessity of cleaning machines and workpieces, and disposal is reduced.

Implementing the Technology The Central Manufacturing Technology Institute (CMTI), along with the University of Kansas, US, introduced minimum quantity lubrication with nanoparticles to improve surface finish. This reduced coolant use from litres per minute (LPM) to millilitres per hour (MPH). An investigation of minimum quantity lubrication grinding was carried out with the scope of documenting the process efficiency of oil-based nanolubricants. The nanolubricants were composed of MoS2 nanoparticles (<100 nm) dispersed in two different base oils—mineral oil (paraffin) and vegetable oil (soybean). Surface grinding tests were carried out on cast iron and EN 24 steel under different lubrication conditions— minimum quantity lubrication using nanolubricants (varying compositional chemistry and concentration of nanoparticles), pure base oils (without nanoparticles) and base oils containing MoS2 microparticles (3–5 μm) and flood grinding using water-based coolants. Specific energy, friction coefficient in grinding and G-ratio were used as measurands for determining the process efficiency. The results indicated that minimum quantity lubrication grinding with nanolubricants increased the process efficiency by reducing energy consumption and frictional losses at the wheel-workpiece interface. The process efficiency was also found to increase with increasing nanoparticle concentration. Soybean-based nanolubricants and paraffin-based nanolubricants performed best for steel and cast iron, respectively, showing a possible functional relationship between the compositional chemistry of nanolubricants and the workpiece material, which will be the focus in the future.

Say Yes to Minimum Quantity Lubrication! Includes the advantages of dry process Less maintenance Increases safety by reducing harmful vapour Environment-friendly

Conclusion Minimum quantity lubrication is an environmentally viable technology that helps in reducing manufacturing costs. It is the process of applying a small amount of quality lubricant directly into the cutting tool workpiece interface and is effective in a wide variety of metal cutting processes.

Dry Machining Dry machining implies a moratorium on the use of cutting fluids and chemicals in the machining process. However, to pursue dry machining, one has to compensate for the several beneficial effects of cutting fluids without actually using them. It may even be necessary for the industry to lower its expectations by cutting back on speed or removal rates (if the tool materials cannot withstand the stringent conditions of dry machining) when forced to limit or avoid the use of cutting fluids.

n the last 20 years, metalworking fluids have undergone intense regulatory scrutiny. The United Auto Workers petitioned the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to lower the permissible exposure limit for metalworking fluids from 5.0 mg/m3 to 0.5 mg/m3. In response, OSHA established the Metalworking Fluid Standards Advisory Committee (MWFSAC) in 1997 to develop standards or guidelines related to metalworking fluids. In light of stricter environmental regulations and their enforcement, it will be long before cutting fluids can be considered totally harmless and acceptable. Consequently, elimination of the use of cutting fluids, if possible, can be a significant economic incentive. Also, considering the high cost associated with the use of cutting fluids, the choice seems obviousâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;dry machining.

Green Machining

at Its BEST

MMT - July 2013

MWFSAC, in its final report in 1999, recommended that the exposure limit be 0.5 mg/m3, and made medical surveillance, exposure monitoring, system management, workplace monitoring and employee training mandatory in order to monitor workers’ exposure to metalworking fluids.

Studies on drilling have shown that reducing the edge hone to create a sharper drill can reduce the cutting temperature by 40%.

The costs associated with the use of cutting fluids are estimated to be several billion dollars every year.

Unplugging Dry Machining In dry machining, one of the approaches is to improve the properties of tool material by making them more refractory, or generate less heat during machining. Constant development of tool materials over the century has led to the advent of high-speed steels, cast cobalt alloys, ceramics, coated carbides, cubic boron nitride, diamond etc. However, the increasing need to machine difficult-to-machine materials at increasingly higher cutting speeds warrants the development of new tool materials. Tool material manufacturers are accepting this challenge as the rewards can be considerable. In view of this, monolithic tool materials are being replaced by engineered coated tools. One factor affecting the choice of dry machining is the workpiece. Sometimes, a cutting fluid can stain the part or contaminate it. The workpiece’s suitability for a dry process also depends on the material. For instance, low-carbon steel becomes more adhesive as the carbon content falls. Another factor affecting dry machining is tool parameters. Because the tools designed for dry machining can be sharper than their counterparts for wet machining, they actually generate less friction and help to control heat. Thus, getting good results in dry machining requires more than specifying the correct cutting tools. It is also important to run them at optimum spindle speeds, feed rates and depths of cut.

The concept of dry machining has been considered as a means to address the issues of environmental and occupational hazards associated with airborne cutting fluid particles on factory shop floors. The minimisation of cutting fluid also leads to economical benefits by way of saving lubricant costs and workpiece/tool/machine cleaning cycle time. The necessity of cleaning, and disposal problems in machines & workpieces are reduced. In addition, workplace exposure to harmful vapour or skin contact with cooling liquids is considerably reduced.

Manufacturing

at its Best!

In any machining process, there are four important elements: the machine itself, cutting tools, materials being machined and the coolant. Considering the constant improvements and upgrades in manufacturing processes today, it has become extremely important to constantly add and deliver value. For instance, the coolant being used, along with the cutting tools, to convert raw material into finished products can give leverage in reducing frictional forces during machining depending on the design formulation & additivation. It can also work upon aspects such as tool life and productivity improvement.

uring machining operations, machine shops and manufacturers use and dispose of a significant amount of cutting and grinding fluid. The fluid is used as a coolant and lubricant in cutting operations as well as a vehicle to carry away chips and fines produced in machining and cutting operations. There are several types of cutting and

grinding fluids in the market, including both water soluble and non-soluble petroleum-based oils. When these fluids lose their efficiency, they are generally disposed of, and the methods used for disposal are often environmentally unsound. Here, the technique of cutting fluid without bactericide comes into play, as it helps make the process as healthy and green as possible.

Unplugging Cutting Fluid without Bactericide In the technique of using cutting fluid without bactericide, emulsions or cutting fluids need no tankside addition of bactericides. Water-miscible emulsions stay biologically stable inherently, without any bactericides. These emulsions have a highly special way of maintaining the longterm bio-stability of metalworking fluid emulsions. It uses the age-old law of nature whereby bacteria normally colonise aqueous media immediately. To keep the emulsions stable, this is deliberately fostered by creating ideal conditions for harmless environmental bacteria. These bacteria, also present in drinking water, build up a naturally stable biotope where undesirable bacteria have no chance of propagating. We call them primary bacteria because they dominate and are the first to colonise the emulsion.

The most important benefit for users of this technique is outstandingly good human and environmental compatibility. Since there are no undesirable bacteria, no tankside addition of bactericides is required. The cutting fluid avoids skin reactions or irritations of the respiratory tract resulting from overdosing with bactericide. Uncontrolled growth of unknown bacteria in conventionally formulated metalworking fluid emulsions generally shortens their service life. Such bacteria can reduce the pH value and cause bad odour or even corrosion. Fungal filaments can lead to filter clogging as well. This is why bacteria and fungi have to be minimised in conventional metalworking fluid emulsions. Moreover, primary bacteria prevent the growth of undesirable fungus and bacteria that are bad for the emulsion and the user. This concept is extremely sound and makes an important contribution to keeping the workplace healthy and safe.

Blaser Swisslube, Switzerland, manufactures an extensive range of high-performance cutting fluids and cutting oils suitable for almost all machining operations and materials. Blaser Swisslube metal cutting fluids do not contain bactericide. Swisslube has already started working towards the REACH compliance, which is a highly strict upcoming norm in Europe. The Indian subsidiary Blaser India also manufactures the abovementioned cutting liquids.

Say Yes to Cutting Fluid Without Bactericide! No tankside addition of bactericides

Conclusion While metalworking fluids are one of the significant ingredients of smooth machining, they are also a source of various health ailments on shop floors. With the increasing emphasis laid on the reduction in carbon footprints and adoption of green processes, this technology could prove to be extremely fruitful.

Special Focus Multiphysics Analysis Chip Compacting

Recycling is a concept we are all familiar with, but seldom must you have thought that incorporating such a simple notion could help cut down costs involved in the machining process. Here, we talk about having a proper chip and oil recovery management system in place, which provides substantial savings, frequently involving a rapid return on investment. In machine shops, there is a considerable amount of chip formation during the machining process along with the use of cutting fluids in the process. These chip and fluids can be recovered and utilised to positively affect your overall business.

hip compacting, which results in the reuse of compacted cakes and the oil recovered, is a process with numerous advantages including the reuse of metal scrap, which would otherwise be disposed of into the environment; recovery of precious oil and better management of chip waste. Interest in the chip compacting technology further increased because of ever increasing pressure from civic authorities on mechanical waste disposal and its harmful effects on the environment.

The Green Quotient

The chip compactor machine is said to recover 90% of the oil that is reused.

The chip compactor machine is said to contribute to climate change mitigation by recycling mechanical waste, which is reused in the system in the form of cakes. This is oil that could otherwise cause considerable damage to the environment if simply dumped. The cakes, as opposed to chips, give more yield of metal when melted—about 5–15% more metal after melting cakes as opposed to chips reuse of waste oil. The other advantages of cakes include reduction in the space that they occupy on shop floors, ease of transportation and cleanliness maintained on shop floors.

Unplugging Chip Compacting Chips are a by-product of machining processes such as turning, milling, drilling etc. The chips are nothing but metal scrap from steel, cast iron, aluminium, bronze etc. The chip compactor machine converts these chips into briquettes (cakes) at a pressure of 1000–2000 kg/cm2. Once the cakes are formed, they can be melted by foundries for metal. While compacting, the machine also recovers the oil from chips (each drop of oil is important), which is drained into a tray. This oil can be reused after filtration. The machine uses no additives for compacting and is a simple plug & play machine. No separate construction is required for mounting the machine and human intervention is minimum. The hopper arrangement is changed according to the size and shape of chips.

Implementing the Technology Yuken India Ltd (YIL), manufacturer of oil hydraulic equipment in India, was one of the first few companies to develop the chip compacting machine. Over the past few years, Yuken has supplied machines to automotive and auto ancillary companies such as Bajaj Auto (Aurangabad), Maruti Suzuki, Suzuki Power Trains, Toyota Kirloskar Autoparts, Ashok Leyland and Anant Enterprises.

Special Focus Multiphysics Pro-activeAnalysis Maintenance We are well aware of the veracity of the phrase ‘Prevention is better than cure’, aren’t we? Staying true to this viewpoint, pro-active maintenance is a system or scheduled maintenance process that keeps the production system healthy. It is actually a life extension system which supplants the philosophy of ‘failure reactive’ with the ‘failure pro-active’ approach by preventing the conditions that lead to machine faults and degradation.

A World of Difference!

he pro-active maintenance technique comprises actions that abolish the root cause of failures and not just symptoms. Pro-active maintenance is now receiving recognition as the only means to reduce and save the burgeoning maintenance cost, extend the performance life of systems and conserve oil & energy without much expenditure on the system or equipment.

Unplugging pro-active maintenance

The increasing number of breakdowns is a clear indication of the necessity of pro-active maintenance. In the absence of the pro-active maintenance technology, the normal approach is ‘failure reactive’ rather than ‘pro-active’. If the contamination is not controlled and removed from the system, the oil becomes contaminated and loses its properties, resulting in the need to replace the oil. The disposal of discarded oil also damages the environment. Furthermore, contaminants enter the gaps/clearance between the moving parts, as a result of which the parts

MMT - July 2013

start scoring, damaging and restricting the movement. This leads to malfunctioning, loss of production, loss of energy and frequent breakdowns. Keeping the system fluid clean and free from contamination (dirt, moisture/ water and heat being the main contaminants in the system fluid) by adopting the systematic approach to pro-active maintenance can keep the plant, machinery and system healthy. This will also extend the life of hydraulic and lubrication systems and components manifold and improve the efficiency, performance and productivity of the plant, machinery and systems, thus conserving energy and expensive oil. The oil filtration-cum-analysis machine also displays the contamination level according to ISO 4406:1999 through a reliable German online laser particle counter, without shutting down the machine or the system. The unit provides filtration, flushing and transfer of oil from bulk containers to the oil reservoir (or vice versa) and it filters and monitors the oil during transfer itself. The unit removes particulate and water contamination from the fluid most effectively.

Over 75% of the breakdowns and maintenance expenses in any industry are a direct result of hydraulic and lubrication oil system failures, often attributed to excessive contamination levels in the system.

Sound Enclosures

Manufacturing in PROGRESS Were you aware that in industrial environments, reverberation and reflected noise from machinery can easily exceed statutory limits and cause serious health risks to the production staff? Help is at hand with specially developed sound enclosures that effectively help reduce noise pollution in industrial operations.

oud noise is a type of pollution that often causes much public concern. Noise health effects are the consequences of elevated sound levels. Elevated noise in the workplace can cause hearing impairment, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, annoyance and sleep disturbance. Changes in the immune system and birth defects have been attributed to noise exposure. Therefore, it is important to take the necessary steps to control this nuisance. Noise can originate from the use of vehicles, construction work and industrial machines. In order to address noise pollution, methods of mitigating the noise at the source need to be developed. This requires in-depth research and development. One immediate way, however, of controlling noise pollution is the use of sound enclosures. The ISGEC Tandem line with Klad On enclosure 86

MMT - July 2013

According to the Central Pollution Control Board, the maximum limit of noise in an industrial area is 75 dB (A).

Unplugging Sound Enclosures Sound waves are absorbed by porous material such as perforated sheets and other objects. Just as putting cotton plugs in the ears reduces the noise level for the individual concerned, sound barriers placed around the source of origin of loud noise drastically reduce the intensity of sound on the other side of the obstacle. For example, loud noise in picture halls and auditoria escapes out because of the effective sound proofing and acoustic techniques applied. The same principle can be applied to industrial units as well. Sound or acoustic enclosures reduce noise pollution from noisy plant & machinery without reducing the efficiency or cleanliness of the plant during normal operations. Acoustic enclosures can be in the form of panels, doors and windows constructed around a noise source so as to contain the noise of the machinery. Sound absorptive panels prevent the build-up of noise and reverberation inside buildings. The panels can attach to walls or hang from ceilings as baffles. Acoustic doors contain reduced noise emissions from production areas and prevent noise pollution problems from affecting nearby communities. Acoustic windows allow visual access to monitor production lines and manufacturing processes at a safe distance from noisy machinery & equipment. Various ranges & properties of panels can be developed using insulated and sound dampening material, such as sound dead steel, to achieve the desired dB (A) level. A combination of isolation material and absorption material are used, wherein absorption materials absorb the sound waves and isolation materials act as sound barriers. The selection of suitable material combinations depends upon the machinery, noise level and vibration frequency. Absorption materials include glass wool, rock wool, sandwiched coir boards and special polyurethane foams, while isolation materials include polyurethane pads, nylon pads and polymer rubber pads.

Say Yes to Sound Enclosures! For better work environment

For better productivity

‘Quiet’ Tooling Quiet tooling is a noise control measure, which can be effective on older as well as new machines. This type of tooling has an optimised shear angle at the tool face and may have other noise-reducing features such as vibration damping rings. Noise reductions over standard tooling of up to 10 dB (A) are claimed, although this will depend on operating conditions. The machine supplier should always be consulted about the potential of using quiet tooling; wherever possible, it should be offered on a standard basis in new machines.

The Green Quotient Sound enclosures help promote better working conditions. In fact, in metal forming machinery, a noise level reduction from 100–110 dB to 70–75 dB can be achieved. The main benefit of mitigating sound pollution is better work environment for personnel. Nervous system disorders such as hypertension and heart diseases can be averted in people. Quiet workplaces also result in less leave of absences owing to health reasons and better overall productivity.

Implementing the Technology Applying noise control measures to existing machines can involve simple modifications, although occasionally, it may require expert advice from press suppliers, trade associations or noise consultants. Klad On Design, a Bengaluru-based company, developed sound enclosures for a number of applications including industrial machinery. Sound enclosures on industrial machinery not only help in mitigating noise but also help contain lubrication spray and high temperature waste chips that can be detrimental to human health. ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd, Haryana, manufacturer of presses, has presence in more than 21 countries.

Conclusion A quiet environment simply amplifies a positive working condition. In addition, industrial workers for long have been facing various health issues due to continuous exposure to noisy environment. With changing times, industrial shop floors also have undergone a drastic change—controlling noise pollution certainly tops the chart.

Inverter and Servo Controlled Motors

n todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scenario, where the power situation has become grim and power cuts have become the norm, the availability and cost of energy have become prime concerns for the industry. To meet the gap between demand and supply, the Indian government will have to make large investments in a short period of time. Even in the machine tool industry, manufacturers are becoming increasingly aware of the high energy costs. Take for instance the machine tool builders who participated in the Blue Competence Machine Tools initiative in Europe. They committed themselves to optimising the use of

energy and other resources to enable faster, better and higher quality manufacturing in end-user industries. They believed that the production technology and equipment supplied by the machine tool industry is the key enabler of resource-efficient processes in all other manufacturing industries. In the machine tool industry too, substantial energy saving has been achieved. The objective of using inverter and servo motors in hydraulic power packs rather than conventional induction motors is to introduce end users to lifetime benefits rather than payback period.

Solution for

India has a huge population of machines with potential for substantial energy saving. Inverters and servo motors in hydraulic power packs help this cause by saving energy, which can then be used for industrial growth. This helps reduce the investment in infrastructure and results in considerable socio-economic benefits.

In addition, M/S Electropnematics Ltd, Pune, offers controller and feed motor packages that are in use on their servo control presses.

Energy Conservation

July 2013 - MMT

Unplugging Inverters and Servo Controlled Motors In this technology, substantial energy saving can be realised by attempting to decrease the rotating speed of electric motors during processes that require low power. For controlling the rotating speed of the motor, either variable frequency drives or servo drives with synchronous motors are used. Drive source: Hydraulic units require a wide range of low to high power levels for different processes during one cycle. These processes are achieved by using different actuators, but the hydraulic power source uses either one or two. The energy saving level depends on the pump operation. These systems can achieve the maximum operating efficiency and energy saving by controlling their operation so that the net power required for each process (similar to the required flow and pressure) is achieved. Hydraulic pumps: If the pump flow is fixed, the flow above the required control level is wasted energy. However, if the pump is variable displacement, it can control the hydraulic power source flow. Variable displacement pumps can substantially reduce the energy consumption as compared to fixed displacement pumps. Electric motors: Induction motors have been widely used as the source of rotational energy for hydraulic systems. They basically operate at a constant rotating speed. Their rotating speed (N) is determined by the number of poles.

As a prospect, how does reducing two-third of your production cost sound? Near-net shape is an innovative industrial manufacturing technique that assists manufacturers in realising this. As suggested by its name, in this technique, the initial production of an item is highly close to the final (net) shape. This feature reduces the need for surface finishing. Rapid prototyping is one among the many near-net shape manufacturing technologies. Today, this technology is used for a wide range of applications and is even used to manufacture production-quality parts in relatively small numbers.

Econolyst

Rapid prototyping can be defined as a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional (3D) Computer Aided Design (CAD) data. Back in the day, construction of the part or assembly was usually done using 3D printing technology. The first techniques for rapid prototyping became available in the late 1980s and were used to produce models and prototype parts. At present, there are at least half a dozen proven rapid prototyping technologies available in the market that can produce parts with complex geometry using plastics, metals and paper.

Multiphysics Analysis

In 2012, an 83-year-old patient with a serious jaw infection became the first person to receive a completely 3D-printed titanium lower jaw implant.

The Green Quotient The family of net shape (or near-net shape) manufacturing technologies inspires manufacturers to look at production methods that create an item or component as near as possible to the final (net) shape, thereby avoiding scrapintense finishing operations such as conventional machining and grinding. These methods are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;subtractiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. To produce a part, one must cut or grind away material, which typically creates greater weight in scrap than the final part or component itself. Using rapid prototyping for near-net shape metal parts opens up the possibility of reducing material usage, which could enable overall reduction in the cost and greenhouse gas emissions related to manufacturing.

The negative tool to the left was made completely out of nylon, while the one to the right consisted of a backfilled shell. The surface quality of the tools was good, although they were not finished. Also, no stairsteps were visible. About 25 deep drawings were produced in the negative version. The maximum pressure was 700 bar and a lubricant was used. At 450 bar, a well-formed part was produced, barring the 3 mm small radius of the flangings. Furthermore, the parts made in the positive tool even had well-formed flangings. The comparison of the economically relevant data showed that the shell version needed the same working time and was 10% cheaper when compared with the reference process NC milling (The solid version used more than three times the lead time and increased the costs by five times).

Say Yes to Rapid Prototyping! Helps identify design errors

Friction Stir Welding

Connecting the Dots Welding and joining technologies are fundamental to engineering and manufacturing. Without the ability to make strong and durable connections between materials, it would be impossible to produce the many different items we all rely on in our everyday lives—from the very large (buildings, pipelines, trains and bridges) o the very small (medical implants and electronic devices). However, it is equally important that the welding process uses less energy and does not release harmful gases & radiation.

riction stir welding is an eco-friendly process to weld and produce near-nano-grain-sized materials. It is a relatively new solid-state joining process that has been used across the segment. It is also useful for joining high-

strength aerospace aluminum alloys and other metallic alloys that are hard to weld using conventional fusion welding. This environment-friendly technology is considered to be the most significant development in the metal joining process.

Unplugging Friction Stir Welding Friction stir welding involves the joining of metals with low melting points without fusion or filler material. The welds are created by the combined action of frictional heating and mechanical deformation by using rotating tools. A rotating tool with a central probe is pressed into the joint and traversed along the weld line. Frictional heat, generated mostly under the tool’s shoulder, softens the material. The shoulder also acts to contain the softened material, which is forced to the back of the tool, becoming consolidated in the process to form a solid phase weld. Provided the components are adequately restrained, a high-quality solid phase weld is formed following considerable hot working of the material at the joint. Friction stir welding is most suitable for aluminium components, which are flat and long.

The Green Quotient Friction stir welding is an environmentally cleaner process due to the absence of the need for various gases that normally accompany fusion welding. Further, no consumable filler material or profiled edge preparation is normally necessary. Following are the ‘green’ positives of this technology:  No filler wire or shielding gas requirement for aluminium alloys  No fume, spatter, UV radiation  Uses machine tool technology  Easy to automate—reduces the need for skilled welders  Energy efficient

Implementing the Technology ETA Technology is a leading Indian manufacturer of friction welding and friction stir welding machines with international presence. Producing more than 20 machines every year, the company is a global supplier of machines to a wide spectrum of industries. The friction stir welding machines can be used in drive axle housing and trailer axle housing, propeller shafts, valves and other applications.

Conclusion Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to produce stronger and lighter products while using less energy and environmentally harmful material, at lower costs. Friction stir welding, being a solid state, low energy input, repeatable mechanical process capable of producing welds with high strength in a wide range of materials, offers a potentially lower cost, environmentally benign solution to these challenges.

Hydrocarbon Cleaning

Cleaning it

Green The cleaning of inserts is often done using water-based cleaning systems. Under such systems, in order to remove a very small portion of oil from the discharged water, the pH levels of water have to be reduced, the oil has to be skimmed and then the pH levels have to be increased again. This creates various problems and has caused considerable wastage of water. Here, the hydrocarbon cleaning technology comes into play as a solution to this problem. It is a feasible technology with many advantages over waterbased cleaning.

ydrocarbon fluids have been extensively used for a wide variety of industrial cleaning applications and can be used in place of chlorinated solvents, mineral spirits and kerosene-based cleaners. The technology is environmentally safe, non-hazardous, with biodegradable formulation for use in removing fresh and aged petroleum hydrocarbons. For instance, Hydrocarbon cleaning systems from Dürr Ecoclean have been successfully used for many years—some for very demanding cleaning jobs—in the finest cleaning environments.

Say Yes to Hydrocarbon Cleaning! Uses a solvent-based cleaning system

Allows safe and economical use of solvents for removing oils

Cleaning and drying processes save heat energy

Minimal vapour loss, emissions and humidity issues þ Heat recovery in the entire process helps reduce energy input

Results in monetary benefits

Unplugging Hydrocarbon Cleaning In the hydrocarbon cleaning technology, cleaning is done using hydrocarbon-based machines that do not consume any water. Therefore, there is also no discharge of water to the ETP. This technology uses a solventbased cleaning system that uses non-halogenated hydrocarbons as highly effective cleaning media, allowing for the safe and economical use of solvents for removing oils, greases, emulsions and swarf between or after manufacturing processes.

Even though this technology does not use water-based cleaning media, it effectively cleans grease, grime and swarf.

Some Key Features of Hydrocarbon Cleaning This cleaning technology has several environment-friendly features. The cleaning and drying processes take place in a work chamber under vacuum, thus saving heat energy and minimising vapour loss, emissions and humidity issues in shops. In addition, heat recovery throughout the entire process helps reduce energy input. The solvent in the system is constantly reclaimed and separated from the cutting oil. The solvent used to wash the parts is never returned to the wash tank until it has been separated from the oil through the distillation process. The solvent is thus always pure while washing parts.

The Green Quotient • • • • •

Better energy efficiency due to heat recovery system Free of emissions Excellent drying properties unlike water-based cleaning Does not require expensive disposal systems Easy to separate from oil via distillation

Implementing the Technology Dürr is one of the world’s leading suppliers of products, systems and services, mainly for automobile manufacturing. It also delivers cleaning and filtration systems for the manufacture of engine and transmission components as well as balancing systems and products for the final vehicle assembly. The Dürr Ecoclean Compact 80C is a solvent-based cleaning system that uses non-halogenated hydrocarbons as highly effective cleaning media. This machine is presently being used by TaeguTec India for its cleaning operation involving inserts and has brought about several benefits apart from effective cleaning.

Conclusion Hydrocarbon cleaning can certainly prove to be a highly effective cleaning media, which is safe, economical and, of course, environment-friendly.

Energy Kaizen is a detailed energy-use assessment with immediate implementation of energy reduction opportunities. In Energy Kaizen, a cross-functional team of employees identifies and implements process changes to reduce waste such as idle time, inventory and defects. Kaizen events create important windows of opportunities to eliminate energy waste. An example of the Kaizen process being implemented in a cutting tool manufacturing company while loading carbide inserts on a tray for sintering was observed. Initially, 50 batches were required to produce 400,000 inserts. The total energy spent was 17,500 kWh and the total cost summed up to `227,500. However, through Energy Kaizen, changes were introduced in loading inserts on the tray. This change in pattern allowed a greater number of inserts to be loaded onto the same tray. Thus, for the same 400,000 inserts, only 47 batches were required. The energy saved was 1050 kWh and the amount saved was `161,910.

Inverter and servo controlled Kaizen was first implemented in several Japanese businesses after the Second World War.

The Green Quotient Reduces waste in areas such as inventory, waiting time, transportation, worker motion, over production, excess quality and in processes. Improves space utilisation, product quality, use of capital, communication, production capacity and employee retention. Provides immediate results. Instead of focusing on large, capitalintensive improvements, Kaizen focuses on creative investments that continually solve a large number of small problems. Large, capital projects and major changes will still be needed, and Kaizen will improve the processes of capital projects, but the real power of Kaizen lies in the ongoing process of continually making small improvements and reducing waste.

Implementing the Technology TaeguTec India, the second biggest cutting tool manufacturer in the world, has won several awards for its green initiatives. TaeguTec has achieved tremendous energy saving by implementing Kaizen on its shop floor through extensive energy audits.

achining operations have constantly been changing patterns. In the race to achieve better speed & feed rates, higher precision and complex designing, cutting tools today have extensive ground to cover. It is a known fact that the ideal formula for the perfect cut is obtained by using the right lubrication. However, the choice of cutting fluids needs to be stringent. While the focus is more on coordinating the machining operation with the type of cutting fluid, most companies are concerned about the impact on workers’ health and the overall manufacturing & environmental conditions. It is essential to understand the constituents of a cutting fluid before adopting it in any machining operation. The primary functions of a cutting fluid in any machining process are heat transfer and

lubrication, which enhance tool life. However, if not used appropriately, there might be some drawbacks in the form of health irregularities like dermatological problems due to dermal contact, fluid mist inhalation, etc. Also, fluid splashing, spillage, etc. can lead to inadvertent contamination of groundwater, lakes and water bodies. Furthermore, mist production during the machining process also has various negative effects. In the mist formed through vaporisation, the non-aqueous components of the cutting fluid contain oil, bacteria, toxins and additives, which turn into fine aerosol that can enter the workroom air. Research around the world is making efforts to make metal cutting fluids less hazardous to health. To ensure the best results from lubricants, one needs to understand them. In line with this thought, metalworking fluids can be segregated into four main categories (see box).

Straight Oils: Also known as neat oils, they are made up mostly of mineral (petroleum) or vegetable oils. Petroleum oils used for these fluids tend to be ‘severely solvent refined’ or ‘severely hydrotreated’. n Soluble Oils: Also called emulsifiable oils, they comprise 30%–85% refined lubricant base oils and emulsifiers. Soluble oil products are diluted with water and may have colourants added. Soluble oils give good lubrication and better cooling. n Semi-synthetic Oils: They offer good lubrication, better heat reduction, good rust control, have longer sump life and are cleaner than soluble oils. n Synthetic Oils: These metalworking fluid formulations contain detergent-like components to improve performance. They are the most preferred as they are clean, offer better heat reduction, have excellent rust control and longer sump life. All fluids require maintenance. Straight oils are relatively maintenancefree fluids, but they should be filtered on a regular basis to remove metal fines. Coolants however require a higher degree of maintenance. The quality of water is also an important aspect. Poor shop practices proliferate the problem. Hence, companies should focus on maintenance of these fluids and encourage clan working environment.

Fluid Management Techniques Maintaining Cutting Fluids

A constant review is required to maintain metalworking fluids. To keep a check on the health hazards on shop floors, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you can find out if the fluid is unsafe to use. n Is the sump level low?Â A low sump is due to the water level decreasing, which increases concentration of chemicals in the fluid. Add adequate water to reach the appropriate concentration. To avoid sumps, make cutting fluids on a regular basis instead of making in bulk. n Does your fluid look weird? Synthetic fluids are clear, while semi-synthetics are often transparent or milky and soluble oil is milky white with no free oil layer. A greyish or black colour indicates the presence of bacteria, while the presence of tramp oil will make the fluid yellow or brownish.

Does it stink? When fluids smell bad, it implies uncontrolled microbial growth. Take immediate action and address the problem as the fluid can be aerosolised into the air with mist. n Is there floating matter on the fluid? Presence of floating chips, swarf or mold growth in the fluid needs to be cleared off. Remove as much as possible with a skimmer or pump it off. n Is there tramp oil in fluid? Tramp oil is one of the main causes of dermatitis and is highly irritating to the skin. It should be properly removed before use. n Is there excessive foaming? There are various reasons of foaming. It may be caused due to soft water, imbalance in the fluid surfactants, excessive flow rates or low level of cutting fluid in the reservoir causing air to be drawn into the pump. n

Do employees complain of skin irritation? If employees have skin irritation, it could mean that the fluid has too high a concentration, high alkalinity, metal contamination, an unstable emulsion or contamination from work piece coatings. n Do shop floor employees experience respiratory irritation? Exposure to metalworking fluid aerosols can lead to irritation and tightness in the chest. One needs to check the delivery of fluids to the cutting zone; use of additives; coolant concentration; enclosures and mist collectors, etc. Metalworking fluids play the most important role in ascertaining the quality of manufacturing. Hence, these fluids should be given proper consideration so as to extract the maximum utility of these products. n

insights & outlook High-Speed Machining High-speed machining (HSM) has the potential to increase productivity and improve part quality in the production of aluminum engines and transmission components for the automotive industry. Here, we discuss the differences in aluminum machining performance obtained at high and low cutting speeds, as well as the influence of metalworking fluids and their composition in enhancing machining performance. fluid properties such as coolant stability and foam behaviour is acknowledged, not much is known about the demands on the fluid for lubrication and cooling and how these demands may differ from a fluidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use in conventional lower speed machining. To be more specific, acknowledging that under high-speed conditions, lower machining forces and improved machined surface finish can be achieved, do metalworking fluids need to be as effective and as high quality as those currently used at lower speeds, specifically with regard to lubrication and cooling?

High-speed vs. Conventional Machining

ighly engineered aluminum machining fluids play an important role in the machining process, as highspeed cutting operations continue to be used in the industry. Definitions of high-speed machining as well as the benefits achieved through its use have previously been documented. While it is generally accepted that the use of high speeds and feed rates in a machining operation can yield increased 108 MMT - July 2013

rates of productivity, the use of HSM can also result in improved machined surface finish and reduced machining forces. Such effects are thought to result from reduced heat generation during cutting, reduced contact time between the tool and work piece surfaces and the limiting shear stress properties of the metal, which are often exceeded in high-speed machining. With regard to water-based metalworking fluids used in HSM operations, while the importance of

To better understand the influence of metalworking fluids in aluminum highspeed machining, machining tests were performed at both lower conventional speeds and at high-speed conditions. In considering the history of the origins of HSM, Dr Carl Salomon, in his original investigations on high-speed machining, determined that the heat generated between the chip and the cutting tool would increase with increasing cutting speed, up to a critical speed dependent upon the metal being cut. With further increase, a critical speed would be reached, at which point the chip removal temperature would decrease with further increasing speeds. Given this analysis, and the presumption that machining performance (forces, Built-up Edge (BUE) formation, tool wear) is largely influenced by the heat generated at the tool chip interface, it is expected that the

High-Speed Machining overall machining performance would decrease with increasing cutting speeds prior to the peak cutting speeds, and then begin to improve as speeds exceed the peak value. To investigate this premise, machining tests were performed using cast 380 aluminum at cutting speed values below, equal to and above the peak cutting speed value, which Dr Salomon plotted for non-ferrous metals. Using a 0.25â&#x20AC;? diameter carbide step drill, Al 380 was machined at spindle speeds of 2,900 RPM, 10,000 RPM, and 18,000 RPM, with these cutting speeds corresponding to one below, one at and one beyond the critical speeds, respectively, as they relate to chip removal temperature. To assess the machining performance at the three different cutting speeds, the axial machining forces, tool flank face wear, machined surface finish and hole dimensions were measured. The axial machining forces, while providing a measure of the energy required for the operation, also provide a useful indirect measure of the mechanical and thermal

demands on tooling and the potential tool life to be expected in a given operation. With respect to the mean axial machining forces measured at the three cutting speeds, the machining forces climb considerably when speeds are increased from 2,900 RPM to 10,000 RPM. However, as the speeds increase further to HSM conditions (18,000 RPM), the cutting forces level off and start to decrease. Thus, it can be concluded that the mechanical and thermal demands on tooling are reduced at HSM conditions and improved tool wear is likely be obtained. To support such conclusions, the tool flank face wear was measured following the chemical removal of the BUE from the tool cutting surface. With respect to the flank face wear length on the tools used, wear is significantly reduced as the cutting speeds increase from 2,900 RPM to 10,000 RPM.

Impact of HSM

While tool wear is an important factor

in aluminum machining, the amount or degree of BUE formed on the cutting tool can be an equally or often more critical parameter. BUE when formed often leads to degradation of the machined surface finish as well as loss of accuracy of size or dimensions of the holes produced. To assess the impact of HSM conditions on this parameter, the degree of BUE formed on the cutting tools, and subsequently the hole finish and form, were measured for each of the three cutting speeds utilised. While BUE formation is a dynamic process with the formation and loss of adhered metal from the cutting edge constantly occurring, examination of the tooling offers a useful assessment of the tendency for this to happen. It is clear that the use of the high cutting speeds of 18,000 RPM yield a significantly lower level of BUE formed on the cutting tool edge.

opinions & more Rupinder Paintal Q Could you give us a brief

introduction of Exxon Mobil?

Facilitating

Efficiency, Improving Competitiveness “Mobil Industrial Lubricants is well positioned to support the economic and industrial growth taking place in India,” says Rupinder Paintal, General Manager - Industrial, ExxonMobil Fuels, Lubricants and Specialties Marketing. Excerpts from the interview… 110 MMT - July 2013

Exxon Mobil is an integrated oil company with Upstream, Downstream and Chemical businesses. A research & engineering company supports us with all the technologies that we bring to the market. Upstream is focused on exploration, development and production work for crude oil, natural gas and other energy products. In Downstream, we refine and distribute products derived from crude oil and other feedstock. Fuel marketing, also a part of this, includes our global network of manufacturing plants, transportation systems and distribution centres, which helps provide fuels, lubricants and other high-value products to customers. This section also includes our Lubricants & Specialties (L&S) business under which we take base oils and chemicals, combine and sell them as finished goods in the market. The L&S is divided further as the Base Stock & Speciality Group, which majorly produces base oils & its speciality group makes asphalts, speciality products, etc. In terms of lubricants, we have Industrial Oil Group: Mobil Industrial Lubricants, with a wide range of oils such as engine oils, compressor oils, turbine oils, hydraulic oils, circulating oils, metalworking, synthetics, gear oils and greases for use in various industries Passenger Vehicle Lubricant Group: Passenger vehicles including engine oils, transmission fluids, gear oils and greases.

Commercial Vehicle Lubricant Group: Lubricants for heavy-duty trucks and cars Aviation Lubricant Group: Piston engine oils, jet turbine oils, aviation hydraulic oils, greases Marine Lubricant Group: Oils for marine applications that include diesel engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic oils

Q Can you highlight the results

of ‘energy efficiency’ on wind turbines in numbers?

Wind products are right now not certified as ‘energy efficient’. But we

Rupinder Paintal do have ‘proofs of performance’ generated in every market that we operate in—not just for wind but also for other sectors. When we supply products, we measure the baseline in terms of operation & the engine of that equipment and charge our products. Over a period of time, we measure the performance of our product, in accordance with the baseline condition that we initially agreed with the customers. So, over a period of time, depending on the operation of the equipment, we have a demonstrated saving at the end of the period. For example, in a given gearbox with electric motors, our oils have been able to show 3.8% efficiency. We are able to measure the input as well as the output. Such documented saving is something with which the customers agree and are ready to sign up for. Based on the documented results, we develop ‘proof of performance’, which can be shared post customer approvals. Our wind products are based on the same technology as that of the Mobil SHC high-performance synthetic oils for which we have already demonstrated measurable ‘energy efficiency’ benefits. Our studies are underway and we will soon have a positive announcement on the ‘energy efficiency’ benefits.

Q Will there be further increase

in the ‘energy efficiency’ achieved through better products or R&D?

At ExxonMobil, our ultimate goal is to improve our customers’ competitiveness by facilitating improved productivity and efficiency through our commitment of being the technology leader with the highest level of application expertise. As a company, we place enormous emphasis on the ongoing investment in R&D and are working alongside the world’s leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to develop the most effective products and maintenance solutions. 112 MMT - July 2013

Q Do we have a particular

It’s not just about having the best technology but also about focusing on technology with the deep understanding of the ‘product application’ that we provide. Taking this philosophy forward, we have introduced the ‘Looble’—a user friendly, online industrial lubricant selector designed to help maintenance professionals make informed lubricant decisions for optimising equipment performance and minimising unplanned downtime. With Looble, customers are given complete access to the knowledge of technologies & applications through this new online product selling. Looble is powered by our valuable application-specific expertise and unique insights gained during more than a century of working with customers and the world’s leading industrial equipment manufacturers.

lubricant for particular equipment?

Mobil Industrial Lubricants are recognised in the industry as having ‘technology leadership’ and ‘application expertise’ with their range of high-tech lubricants for a number of specific industries. Our team of experts has developed a comprehensive understanding of the properties required of a superior lubricant for each industry/sector. By working closely with manufacturers and component manufacturers in each industry, we have developed a portfolio of lubricants to optimise the range of lubricants and enhance productivity. Depending upon the environment that the equipment is in, the recommendation for lubricant also changes. For example, for a very hot, dry area of operation with intense heat, Mobil SHC will be one of the top recommendations. However, for a location with cold water and contamination through water, we recommend the Mobilgear SHC XMP Series products that offer better rust and corrosion protection than conventional gear oils, including seawater and acidic water protection. In such cases, not only the product that needs lubrication but also its surrounding as well as the manufacturer’s recommendation of the product is taken into account. It’s not solely about technology leadership; it’s also about understanding the application. ExxonMobil brings to the market a deep understanding of its customers’ as well as equipment manufacturers’ needs. We have a group known as the ‘Equipment Builder (EB) Group’. We have over 100 years of experience in technology and this year, the EB Group will complete 98 years. Our team of experts works extremely closely with equipment manufacturers to help them maximise equipment performance by using our lubricants.

Invoking the ‘Andhrapreneurial spirit’

for Industrial Leap

Post its IT revolution, Hyderabad has undergone a metamorphosis. Over the last few years, the city has been trying to give its manufacturing mettle a new global identity. Rising as a favourable destination for businesses in the south, the city has global heads making a beeline for investments. Giving impetus to this growth saga, Engineering Expo made its debut in Hyderabad. Debarati Basu Das reports…

hile the industrial climate is conducive for growth and opportunities are rife in India, Andhra Pradesh, in general, and Hyderabad, in particular, are brimming with potential and possibilities. Andhra Pradesh’s manufacturing might has helped it emerge as a key state for the knowledgebased industry. And the mushrooming of MNCs is a clear reflector of the healthy Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows that the state has attracted over the years. Among the other regions in the state, Hyderabad exudes tremendous potential owing to its strategic geographic positioning, availability of low-cost, highly skilled labour and the presence of a very strong Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) circuit. Acting as a catalyst to help the engineering and manufacturing fraternity leverage on the Hyderabad advantage, Network 18 Publishing organised the maiden edition of Engineering Expo Hyderabad at HITEX Exhibition Centre from May 31, 2013 to June 3, 2013. The four-day Expo portrayed the best of Hyderabad’s industrial assimilation and built a platform for the industry to showcase the city’s calibre in terms of innovations, products & technologies, diverse industry verticals and customised manufacturing. The event was hosted with value

Visitors Optimise@Expo

Engineering Expo was visited by more than 10,600 people. The four-day Expo received an overwhelming response from the Hyderabad crowd who optimised their visit. It had everyone, right from

entrepreneurs who wanted to strike deals and youth who wanted to understand the national variety in technology to new entrepreneurs who wanted to build contacts for their future endeavours. Commenting from a visitor’s perspective, Suresh S, CEO, Excell Industries, informed, “I make it a point to visit expos across the country to know about the latest technologies that are coming up in the industry. However, Hyderabad does not have many expos and, even if there are any such expos, the level of participation is very low. Interestingly, even on Day 1 of Engineering Expo Hyderabad, the participation of exhibitors and visitors was very encouraging, which is a very rare sight.” Engineering Expo Hyderabad has become a ‘myth breaker’ in the region.

Engineering Expo Hyderabad Highlights of this edition

Setting the Stage Engineering Expo Hyderabad was inaugurated in the presence of esteemed dignitaries including Devendra Surana, President, FAPCCI; Ganesh Parthasarathy, CEO, Tussor Machine Tools India Pvt Ltd and Ravi Ramana, Assistant GM, Andhra Bank. The most striking feature of the trade show was that over 60% of the 130+ exhibitors were from across the country. It also witnessed delegations from Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL); Tata Projects; Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO); NSL Renewable Power; Vasantha Group and Amara Raja, among others. This unique blend of local and national participation gave a special boost to the business dynamics that Expo offers. Commemorating this fact, Surana said, “Such exhibitions ensure that we remain updated about the latest happenings in the national industry.” Parthasarathy, a regular participant in Engineering Expo, highlighted, “Most flagship expos in India are not as well organised as Engineering Expo. Today, Engineering Expo has become one of the most important exhibitions in the country.” Engineering Expo is India’s largest SME gathering on engineering and manufacturing. The trade show has always sought to provide SMEs—the small wonders that play a pivotal role in helping the country progress economically—a stepping stone to succeed. Apart from finding the right contacts, SMEs need finances to thrive in this competitive era. Ramana, at the inaugural function, explained, “We feel that every bank should understand SMEs’ potential and encourage them financially.”

Opportunities for Exhibitors Engineering Expo Hyderabad received an enthusiastic response from exhibitors. Elaborating on how the trade show has been a boon for participants, Ilesh Pancha, MD, iPan Engifab, a Gujarat-based fabrication firm, stated, “We have been dealing with customers in Hyderabad but did not have a proper avenue to exhibit ourselves in this city. In this backdrop, Engineering Expo was the best medium for us to connect to a larger audience in Hyderabad.” Similarly, Srinivas Kimar Twarakavi, Founder & CEO, G4 Solutions & Applications Pvt Ltd, a Hyderabad-based company, averred, “This is a very good platform to connect with a national audience. We are confident of taking our product to a bigger platform at this Expo.”There were other exhibitors who leveraged the fact that Engineering Expo Hyderabad gave them an opportunity to explore the region. Affirming the same, B Mukherjee, Product Manager, Juaristi Oriental Engineering Services, a Mumbai-based company, expressed, “Hyderabad is one of the new areas that our company wants to explore.” According to Rajshekhara T, Manager Sales, Sai Engineering, a visitor, “Hyderabad is a pharma-dominated industry. You do not find many exhibitions that cater to automotive and machining industries. Engineering Expo will break this myth; if it is organised on a regular basis, we will have a good expo to look forward to. More so, there are so many companies from Gujarat, Maharashtra and other states. This gives us a holistic vision on all that is happening

in the industry across the country. This will also help us to understand the things that we need to do to meet the demands of the industry outside Hyderabad.” The event also had visitors who hoped to make the Expo a base for their entrepreneurial venture. Manohar M, a retired industry personnel from the plastics industry, was one such visitor. He commented, “I have retired from my services, but I am looking for options to start my own business in the plastics

This will help me build ideas and contacts for the small scale enterprise that I intend to start.”

A Grand Success…

This maiden edition of Engineering Expo Hyderabad proved to be a boon for the Hyderabad industry. It not only helped the country understand and see the capabilities that Hyderabad has but also took Andhra Pradesh’s entrepreneurial spirit one notch higher.

event report Panel Discussion

Is Hyderabad ready for the industrial leap? Hyderabad is renowned for being the ‘IT’ hub of India, and over the years, it has expanded its horizons to harness its manufacturing potential. However, it needs to make its mark on the global domain. In an attempt to help the region gain 3600 visibility, a panel discussion on the topic ‘Is Hyderabad ready for the industrial leap?’ was organised on the sidelines of Engineering Expo Hyderabad 2013, on May 31, 2013.

yderabad is now going through its next phase of evolution by taking its potential to the world. Providing the platform for the right growth trajectory and understanding the need gaps, Network 18 Publishing organised a panel discussion on the sidelines of Engineering Expo Hyderabad 2013 at Aditya Sarovar Premiere, Hyderabad. The online partner of the event was Apex Auction. The panel discussion was conducted on the theme ‘Is Hyderabad ready for the Industrial leap?’ This discussion was truly insightful and acted as food for thought for the more than 200 industry professionals gathered at the venue.

At the Discussion…

The discussion comprised an eclectic mix of experts including Sreeram MM, MD, Scarlet Industries Pvt Ltd; M Sreenivasulu, Dy Director (IMT), MSME - Development Institute; Devendra Surana, President, FAPCCI and Y Sreenivas Rao, Project Director, 116 MMT - July 2013

DRDO. The panel discussion was moderated by Archana Tiwari-Nayudu, Editor, Network 18 Publishing. Each speaker had a unique growth story for Hyderabad; however, they all agreed on one aspect—Hyderabad is destined to become an investment hub. Hyderabad not only manufactures world-class aerospace and defence products but also satisfies the country’s demand for tooling accessories. All this is coupled by the advantage that the city gets from strong clusters of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), which are in every way capable of manufacturing world-class products. However, the speakers opined that even though the city has every possible advantage to grow, the opportunities are not being utilised optimally. Issues such as power outage and political uncertainty have handicapped the manufacturing sector.

What’s the Solution?

The discussion not just highlighted the problems but also gave solutions for the same. Every speaker expressed measures that need to be taken to

regain growth. For instance, Surana pointed out, “Hyderabad already has a significant availability of manpower and entrepreneurial spirit. If these two problems are addressed, the city will grow at the rate of 15–20%.” Rao opined, “We have to decongest Hyderabad. We need to have 7–8 clusters each with a nodal centre that is equipped with the required technology. Each cluster should have proper infrastructure, export & marketing requirements and focus on a particular skill. This will enhance the manufacturing set-up. We need to foresee 10 years ahead and project growth,” he expressed. Sreenivasulu, on the other hand, talked about the various government schemes available for the growth of SMEs. He argued that human resource development and finance are the areas that need to be strengthened. Sreeram wrapped up the session by emphasising on the need for multiple financial cities in the country. “Hyderabad has the prerequisite infrastructure and knowledge base; it must be identified as a financial hub for national growth. SMEs have grown over the last 40–50 years and contribute 70% to the state’s GDP. If we address these problems, Hyderabad will carve a place for itself in the global map,” Sreeram concluded.

Way to Go…

Every city has its roadblocks to opportunities. But for Hyderabad, what lie ahead are unbound opportunities. The industry and government need to take collective steps to overcome the hurdles and carve the road map to global opportunities for Hyderabad. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Launch Pad

Geometric introduces advanced milling and drilling checks in DFMPro

eometric Ltd (BSE: 532312, NSE: GEOMETRIC), a leader in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Global Engineering Services and Offshore Product Development (OPD) solutions & technologies launched the latest version of its automated manufacturability validation tool, DFMPro™ for PTC® Creo™ Parametric at Booth #515, at PTC Live Global, Anaheim, California, US. Geometric provided product demos at the booth throughout the event. In addition, in milling and drilling operations, a part with wrongly designed features could lead to tool or tool holder clash. This, in turn, could

lead to machine downtime and rework, which translates into financial losses. Geometric demonstrated a novel check on how to avoid such issues by providing feedback to the designer right while designing parts in PTC Creo Parametric. Additionally, new checks for validating designs for ease and longevity of welding will be exhibited. At the event, Geometric has also demonstrated methods of executing automated manufacturability checks using DFMPro for various manufacturing processes like injection molding, sheet metal, machining, castings and assembly. DFMPro is a design assistant solution for validating designs from the

manufacturing viewpoint at the design stage. It automates manufacturability checks, which helps design and manufacturing engineers validate the design quickly. DFMPro also assists the identification of design areas that are difficult, expensive or impossible to manufacture, assemble and service. It works on the principle of ‘Right First Time’ by validating manufacturability guidelines. These guidelines can be easily configured as per organisational requirements in the form of rules. It also facilitates a collaborative design environment by generating reports that are compact and easy to share.

Products - General Chipformer

Chipformer, under the designation of M3M, was designed especially for machining stainless and low carbon steel. In addition, it was designed with geometric features that improve the tool’s life due to a reinforced cutting edge at the area where VG (notch wear) wear tends to occur when machining stainless steel, causing poor surface finish and risk of edge breakage.Additional geometric elements such as optimal positive rake angle feature a smooth cutting process and reduced cutting forces (by 5 to 10%), thus reducing the wear and dramatically increasing tool life. The M3M has a wide chipbreaking range, making it the first choice in most stainless steel applications. The combination of the new advanced SUMO TEC grades IC6015 and IC6025, together with the unique and innovative M3M chipformer, ensures higher productivity over any other insert existing in the market for machining stainless steel.

Products - General Turbomill

Fully waterproof, the turbomill 50SQ magnetic chuck is distinguished by high holding force concentrated near its active surface (possibility to clamp thin elements) as well as a low residual magnetism remaining after the demagnetization cycle. This makes the removal of elements after their machining very easy. Also the current required for magnetization and demagnetization of the chuck is much lower than in case of other electro permanent magnetic chucks available on the market. The above advantages combined with basic advantage of electro permanent chucks which is the full safety in case of power supply problems (the chucks need electric energy exclusively in short magnetization and demagnetisation phases) make of this chuck the universal tool for clamping of various elements on milling machines and machining canters.

CNC Turning Grinding Compound Machine

Owing to excessive deformation after heat treatment or too much tolerance left to be ground, the workpiece requires more time for grinding. With a newly developed CNC grinding machine BMT-D320GT with turning function, the complicated machining can be accomplished in one setup of workpiece, including internal turning, internal grinding, external turning, external grinding, tapered surface turning and grinding. The turning spindle can be mounted on Y axis or Z axis to cut the excessive tolerance before performing fine grinding. Then the grinding spindles on the Y, Z axis can perform coarse and fine grinding. As turning and grinding operations done on this machine, workpiece concentricity and accuracy can be assured. Moreover, both spindles can do grinding processes, one for internal grinding and one for external grinding or any combination, so many more complex grinding procedures can all be completed on this same machine to speed up the process and to be more accurate.
