From the Editor’s Desk Branding is a marketing tool related to perception. It helps companies to align what their audience perceives with what the companies want their audience to believe in. After all, a brand is not just the product or the service or the solution that a company offers; it is a perception of what the company stands for in its entirety.

In this intensely competitive business environment, a brand also reflects a company’s quest for excellence in the context of quality, innovation and service. And when you associate the term ‘Best’ with any brand then it is meant to stand out in the crowd consistently.

‘The Economic Times Best Brands’ is a series that celebrates brand excellence at the superlative level. In continuation of this spirit and philosophy, the Best Brands series was extended to the metal cutting industry in 2018. In 2019, we also included the metal forming industry in this list.

When people ask me the definition of ‘Best Brands’, my answer is simple: ‘Best Brands are companies that are more than just good suppliers; they are great partners’. Through this coffee table book, The Economic Times honours and celebrates the great partners in the metal cutting and metal forming industries by recognising them as ‘The Economic Times Best Brands’. They are the Best Brands because they have gained their customers’ confidence and have maintained their leadership positions even in the difficult times.

The brand-new laser measuring system “LC50-DIGILOG” for tool measurement and monitoring in machine tools is an excellent example for the innovativeness of the company: By providing thousands of measuring values per second, the integrated DIGILOG technology now makes tool measurement 60 percent faster, more precise, extremely in-process reliable.

Users will also profit in the future from new, ground-breaking applications. These include the i.e. the 3D ToolControl software, which enables continuous digilog-based contour measurement of tools – including the visualisation on the control screen. Or the new ‘SpindleControl’ technology cycle, which can be used to record and evaluate the state of a spindle bearing.

P

recision in the engineering, aerospace and automotive industries is one of the most important quality factors and therefore a vital parameter for success. Software-assisted detection of broken tools and tool wear, along with exact measurement of work pieces during the manufacturing process are gaining increasingly in significance. The German company Blum-Novotest provides innovative and high-grade measuring and testing technology for this purpose.

Established in 1968 and based in Ravensburg, Blum-Novotest GmbH is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality measuring and testing technology for the international machine tool, aerospace and car industry.

CUTTING TOOLS

2019

TOOLING THE FUTURE THE REVOLUTION IN TURNING With high dynamic turning (HDT), CERATIZIT has turned conventional turning methods completely upside down. This new turning technology, combined with CERATIZIT’s dynamic FreeTurn tools, makes it possible to carry out all traditional turning operations such as roughing, finishing, contour turning, face turning and longitudinal turning with just one tool. Dynamic tools offer much greater flexibility on the machine and will in many cases replace the static tools with a fixed approach angle.

With the milling spindle, a 360° rotational clearance angle can be used to adjust the tool in any position relative to a workpiece.

Even undercuts or contours could be created, for which additional tools would be required today. HDT is therefore a completely uncompromising method of turning.

The future of turning starts now With High Dynamic Turning (HDT) and the FreeTurn tools by CERATIZIT, a new era in turning has arrived. In terms of efficiency, HDT exceeds conventional turning process many times over and, as the company experts are convinced, will replace the classic approaches sooner rather than later. After all, the new turning technology will continue to open and reveal possibilities in the future to make turning processes faster and more precise. The future of turning has just begun with HDT, and our developers are looking forward to supporting their customers along this journey together.

T

he CERATIZIT Group’s global and comprehensive expertise in powder metallurgy, manufacturing processes, coatings, toolmaking and application technology leads to fast, tailor-made high-performance developments for demanding market requirements such as innovative manufacturing processes, carbide grades for new, difficult-to-machine workpiece materials and completely new machining strategies. The new High-Dynamic Turning process using the unique FreeTurn tools and the additively manufactured high-performance tools to produce electric engines are the latest examples in this area. The Group’s global approach in the R&D process, which concentrates on all parameters that influence the machining process, is a key factor for the success of the CERATIZIT Group’s products.

Overall, the Group’s partners and customers benefit from a highly attractive, integrated service promise: one of the largest product ranges on the market, an enormously efficient sales force; leading expertise in future technologies from digitization to nanotechnology, and deep industry expertise based on many years of experience.

Case study

A crank shaft manufacturer based in Pune had WEFIRE™, automatic fire suppression system installed in their CNC grinding machines. The said CNC was originally using a water-based coolant but for their specific needs, the CNC machine was converted to use an oil-based coolant.

3 units of 9-kg NOVEC 1230 cylinders were used to connect in parallel to make it a 27-kg system to suffice the volume of the CNC machine’s huge grinding envelope of approximately 28 CuM. WEFIRE™ Heat Detection tube was mounted on the roof and walls of the machine along with 6 nos of gas discharge nozzles, mounted at

strategic hazard locations.

One evening, oil fumes within the grinding enclosure ignited due to series of sparks erupting from the spindle’s grinding operation, followed by a blast; possibly due to enough availability of flammable neat cutting oil and fumes within the enclosure.

The initial flash fire created a substantial fire in an instant. Within seconds, the heat detection tube installed inside the roof of the machine detected the fire and activated the WEFIRE™ system. Novec 1230 extinguishing gas instantly flowed from all 6 discharge nozzles, flooding the whole compartment and extinguishing the fire within seconds.

Post this incident, the customer realised the value of installing a WEFIRE™ system, which not only did extinguish the fire in few seconds, but also restricted the damage caused by fire to minimal, thereby saving the machine, shop floor, downtime and human lives.

Within a few hours, the WEFIRE™ system was re-instated, and the machine was up and running, doing what it does best, viz. generating revenue.
