Manufacturers favor digital workplace transformation—a reader responds
My Nov. 20 blog post titled "Manufacturers favor a digital workplace transformation but hold tight to their wallets" generated an insightful response from Jesse Z. Melton, owner of Harpers Ferry Toolworks.
Whitepaper: The dynamic duo of drilling
Drilling has long been the cornerstone of the machining process, consuming roughly 50 percent of all tools and creating 75 percent of all chips. So it comes as no surprise that shops interested in reducing costs and increasing productivity should look first toward the full optimization of their holemaking processes with today's advanced solid-carbide and indexable-insert drill technologies.
H-825 Hexapod
With the usability of 6-axis hexapods increasing in research and industry applications, PI introduces a new medium-load 6-axis precision motion platform, the H-825 hexapod. The H-825 provides a self-locking load capacity up to 30 kg (66 lbs).
Flexium+ CNC Platform helps Star Cutter
NUM's latest-generation CNC systems are helping the Star Cutter Co. to maintain its position as a world leader in cutting tool machines. Star Cutter's new 5-axis tool and cutter grinding machine – the NTG 6RL – is based entirely on NUM's Flexium+ CNC platform, and fully automates the high-speed production and reconditioning of complex cutting tools.
PFERD CC-GRINDING-SOLID Demo
PFERD Inc.'s CC-GRIND®-SOLID for controlled rough grinding applications integrates a fibreglass backer and a high-performance coated abrasive that is said to be 40 percent more productive than reinforced grinding wheels. To illustrate the point, PFERD filmed a demonstration comparing the CC-GRIND-SOLID to one of its own conventional rough grinding wheels and that of a competitor.
Angle Heads from NT Tool
NT Tool's angle heads add a new cutting axis to existing machines, allowing you to machine from additional angles without the need for tilt tables. By building a new axis into the toolholder itself, machining plants can save greatly on setup costs and expensive investments in new machinery.
CoroDrill 880 CVD Diamond-Coated Insert Grades
To overcome the challenges of chip formation and evacuation when drilling nonferrous metals, Sandvik Coromant has unveiled its CoroDrill 880 CVD diamond-coated insert grades, GCN124 and GCN134. The superhard properties of the diamond coating provide long tool life and combine with innovative chipbreaker and geometry designs to enhance performance when drilling materials such as aluminum.
Heavy-Duty Castors
The new range of heavy-duty castors from WDS Component Parts Ltd. make it easier to reposition or move large and weighty items such as trolleys, flight cases, machinery, displays and audio-visual equipment. The castors are available in a number of sizes to support varying weights and feature polyurethane wheels for quiet operation.
Manufacturers favor digital workplace transformation but hold tight to their wallets
A recent survey has 80 percent of manufacturers and energy companies implementing or developing a digital workplace transformation plan. Only 18 percent are allocating at least a quarter of their budget toward these efforts over the next 12 months, however—and that's the minimum percentage needed to get started, according to Dan Chalk, director of solution engineering for NTT Data Services, Plano, Texas.
