United Kingdom: Advanced CNC simulation software helps to produce innovative new range of twist drills.Byline: Mamta03 CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) See numerical control. CNC - Collaborative Networked Communication multi-axis grinding machines grinding machine Machine tool that uses a rotating abrasive grinding wheel to change the shape or dimensions of a hard, usually metallic, workpiece. Grinding is the most accurate of all the basic machining processes. using NUM's NUMROTOplus 3D simulation and control software are helping Miller Prazisionswerkzeuge GmbH to manufacture a new series of high-performance MAPAL-brand solid carbide carbide, any one of a group of compounds that contain carbon and one other element that is either a metal, boron, or silicon. Generally, a carbide is prepared by heating a metal, metal oxide, or metal hydride with carbon or a carbon compound. twist drills twist drill, n 1. a drill having one or two deep helical grooves extending from the point to the smooth portion of the shank. 2. a spiral bone bur. . The new drill tools employ complex optimised profiles to accelerate cutting speeds. The NUMROTOplus software allowed Miller Prazisionswerkzeuge to visualise and optimise the complex machining process required to produce the new drills in 3D, before putting the new drill range into volume production. "The NUMROTO features helped during the development of our latest MAPAL drill products, and we made extensive use of the advanced 3D simulation capabilities of NUMROTOplus software, including its tool collision monitoring procedures, to optimise our manufacturing process," says Ulrich Krenzer, Technical Director of Miller Prazisionswerkzeuge. "We have used NUM's CNC software for a number of years, and are now in the processing of running it out across all our machines. By effectively standardising on this one package, with a consistent user interface, we will reduce our personnel training costs and help maximise productivity, while maintaining the product quality for which we are renowned." To cope with demand, Miller Prazisionswerkzeuge recently doubled the size of its R&D and manufacturing operations Manufacturing operations concern the operation of a facility, as opposed to maintenance, supply and distribution, health, and safety, emergency response, human resources, security, information technology and other infrastructural support organizations. at Altenstadt in Germany, culminating in the opening of a new 7000 m2 production facility in November 2008. The facility contains more than 40 CNC grinding machines equipped with the NUMROTOplus software - which operate for three shifts per day, 365 days of the year - making it one of the most modern solid carbide tool and drill production plants in the world. It is widely acknowledged that more than 30 percent of productive machine time is nowadays taken up by drilling operations. Typically, these include pilot drilling and pre-centring, drilling, reaming, countersinking, boring out, de-burring and thread cutting. By combining some of these operations in a single step, it is possible to decrease machine time significantly, but only if the drilling tools feature task-optimised profile geometries - factors such as chip removal, heat dissipation Noun 1. heat dissipation - dissipation of heat chilling, cooling, temperature reduction - the process of becoming cooler; a falling temperature and tool stability are critical. The new MAPAL 'Mega Speed Drill' is designed for high speed drilling of steel and iron. It features an asymmetric tip, with reinforced cutting edges. The 3 margins are designed in such a way that the drill will slightly oversize o·ver·size n. 1. A size that is larger than usual. 2. An oversize article or object. adj. o·ver·size also o·ver·sized Larger in size than usual or necessary. Adj. 1. the holes and the friction between the margin lands and the workpiece Noun 1. workpiece - work consisting of a piece of metal being machined piece of work, work - a product produced or accomplished through the effort or activity or agency of a person or thing; "it is not regarded as one of his more memorable works"; "the symphony was will be minimised. This geometry makes the drill relatively insensitive to high cutting edge temperatures and corner wear. Copyright : Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd. Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company |
