MEDICAL IMPLANT COMPANY INSTALLS
TWO NEW TORNOS MACHINES
For more than 20 years, Königsee Implantate
based in Königsee, deep in the Thuringian
Forest in Germany, has been developing and
producing implants and instruments for
traumatology, orthopedics and spinal
surgery with enormous success. In the course
of continuous process improvements, two
new Tornos EVODeco 16 machines have
been purchased.
In the medical industry, Königsee is a
significant manufacturer with a history that
dates back to the end of World War I. In 1919,
orthopedic technician Otto Bock founded the
company in Berlin to provide disabled war
veterans with prostheses and other
orthopedic products. Shortly afterwards, the
company moved to Königsee, in Thuringia.
This was the origin for Königsee Implantate
GmbH, which was founded by Erich
Orschler in 1993.
The success story started with a small
machine inventory and the strong
determination of its employees. Initially, the
company focused exclusively on the
development and manufacturing of osteosynthesis
systems for traumatology and
orthopedics. For more than 10 years now, it
OELHELD EXPANDS UK
PRESENCE
Renowned as an industry leading manufacturer and supplier of
metalworking fluids, water-soluble lubricants and filtration and
extraction systems, Oelheld UK has now expanded its UK operation.
The Denbigh headquarters in North Wales has now doubled in size
with the acquisition of a new warehousing unit.
Purchasing the adjacent unit, the additional warehouse unit has
doubled the company’s storage space from 6000sq/ft to 12,000sq/ft.
This acquisition has been driven by years of continual growth with
sales of metalworking fluids, filtration systems and EDM
consumables all rising consistently for a number of years.
Discussing the new acquisition, Oelheld UK Managing Director,
Mr Peter Mangan says: “This move is essential for our business to
continue on its trajectory of continued growth. For Oelheld to meet
the demands of our customers with next day availability of our
products, the additional storage facility is a must. The new area will
also provide space for the manufacture of bespoke filtration systems
for all types of metal working applications. Our goal has always been
to deliver first class solutions and service to our customer base, this
expansion is the next step in supporting our growth journey whilst
ensuring we maintain our customer service and support levels.”

has also been offering solutions for spinal
surgery.
The products for almost all bone sections,
from the collarbone to the toes, drastically
speed up the healing process of fractures
compared to conventional methods of
treatment. New solutions constantly arise
from the close collaboration with physicians
and surgical teams. The development
projects comprise the complete path of the
value chain, from the idea and development
of a prototype to the manufacture of the
product. During this process, painstaking
attention is paid to quality, since it is the
basic requirement for the long service life
and safe use of implants. This is why they
purchased two new EVODeco 16 machines
from Tornos.
In layman's terms, an osteo-synthesis
system consists of a plate that is matched
with the anatomy and screwed onto the
bones with a variable number of screws of
different lengths and diameters. Königsee
comprises the entire manufacturing process
from purchase and planning to the milling,
turning, grinding and galvanizing to the final
inspection and warehousing. Design
concepts are translated into series
production. The pricing pressure has
reached the medical industry and this means
that top quality produce from Germany can
only be competitive by applying a
sophisticated manufacturing strategy. For
this reason, Königsee has invested in Tornos.

ELESA CHROME RIVALS
STAINLESS STEEL
Elesa’s chrome on plastic technology is particularly suitable for
applications on machines and equipment whose parts, for hygienic
reasons, must be frequently cleaned by using water jets or steam. It is
therefore often a suitable replacement for stainless steel in many
arduous or specialist situations at a very considerable cost saving.
Example items are the VC.692-CR lobe knob series for machine
control, coupled with ERX-CR adjustable clamping handles and the
CQT.FM-CR quarter turn lever latches for enclosure locking to IP65.
This chrome finished polyamide technopolymer range is an
expanding feature within the extensive Elesa portfolio of standard
industrial components as the chrome-plating finish makes the
surface finish semi-glossy and homogeneous to facilitate cleaning
operations and is tested at -30°C up to +80°C.
The chrome-plated surface is resistant to wear, scrapes and
shocks. In laboratory tests carried out at ambient temperature (23°C),
the chrome-plated surface proved to be resistant to: sea water,
detergents, acetone, ethyl alcohol, formic acid and chlorine solutions.

GERMAN CHANCELLOR MERKEL, HAND IN HAND
WITH THE ROBOTS OF TOMORROW
Collaborating with robots and controlling them with gestures? German
chancellor Angela Merkel experienced first-hand how this can be
achieved in her opening day tour at the Hannover Messe 2018 during an
impressive live demonstration.
At the IBG Automation booth, Angela Merkel and the Mexican
President Enrique Peña Nieto and his wife Angélica Rivera, got up close
and in person with the robotic hands from SCHUNK. Both 5-finger hands
of the competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology
are the world's first robotic grippers that have been certified and
approved for collaborative use by the German Social Accident Insurance
(DGUV).
Behind the playful exterior lies real technology: In industrial and
service robotics applications of the future, it will be possible to control,
configure and interact with robots only by using gestures, and without any
knowledge of programming. The automation specialist IBG Automation
has developed an application that does just that. The robot is controlled by
gestures or speech and calculates its movement in real time. Using a 3D
camera, the system is able to follow the hand and
arm movements of the user and imitate them 1:1.
The movements of the robot are mainly
dictated by the hands of the user. This
technology will make working next to robots
possible, hand in hand in the future. For
assembly tasks, for example, parts will be able
to be directly transferred into or out of the
robot's hands. "NXT LEVEL human/robot
collaboration" can be used anywhere that there
is a great deal of manual work necessary and
where there are high requirements on quality.
For the first time ever, it is making complete
cooperation between humans and robots
possible without any separation in time or
space. The user is not bound to a terminal, but
can move around freely and control the robot,
The installation of a new Hartford Infinity twincolumn
vertical machining centre has not only
provided Steel Dynamics UK with the enlarged
capability and capacity that it needed, but the
machine is also producing cycle time reductions
of at least 30 per cent compared with previous
routines.
“And with improved fixturing methods plus
enhancements to the tooling being used, we
fully expect to further improve on those
machining time savings in the near future,”
according to the Blackburn-based company’s

adjusting parameters and retrieving
information during maintenance or conversion
processes. The system integrates the human
workplace and innovative robot technology
into a shared and future-oriented collaborative
environment.
The mechatronic SCHUNK SVH gripping
hand designed for applications in assistance
and service robotics is staggeringly similar to its
human counterpart in terms of size, shape and
mobility. Its five fingers can carry out all kinds
of gripping operations with the help of a total of
nine drives. Elastic surfaces on the front
phalanxes ensure a reliable hold on the objects
NEW HARTFORD DOUBLE-COLUMN VMC MAKES A
DYNAMIC IMPRESSION IN BLACKBURN
operations director Andy Berry.
Supplied by T W Ward CNC Machinery
(Ward CNC), Hartford’s exclusive agent in the
UK and Ireland, the Infinity HSA420 has X, Y
and Z axes travels of 4,000 mm by 2,000 mm by
1,000 mm and, capable of accommodating
workpieces weighing 12, 000 kgs, the machine is
out-performing Steel Dynamic UK’s two
existing, older vertical machining centres for
both speed and capability, says Mr Berry.
“It’s the largest machine we’ve ever
installed,” he continues, “and while so far it has
largely been used on a relatively
new nuclear-based contract –
involving predominantly milling
operations on prismatic stainless
steel workpieces – it has perfectly
complemented our existing
manufacturing capabilities based
around ISO 9001: 2008
accreditation. These include water
jet, plasma and laser cutting, as
well as radial arm drilling and
vertical boring to 1,350 mm
diameter.”
Steel Dynamics UK is an
established supplier of a wide
range of components to customers
being gripped. Because the hand can perform
and imitate numerous gestures, the visual
communication between humans and the
service robot has become significantly easier.
This simplifies programming and promotes a
sense of acceptance for robots in the human
environment. The hand is designed in such a
way that a person is not injured during their
daily interactions. The open and closed-loop
control electronics as well as the power
electronics are fully integrated in the wrist,
meaning that particularly compact solutions
can be achieved.

in varied industry sectors ranging from
architectural, oil and gas, through to food and
beverage processing as well as petrochemical,
and in materials that also include duplex, nickel
and carbon alloys, aluminium, copper and
brass.
Its new Hartford machining centre is ideally
suited to handling all these materials, with a
solid construction based on a one-piece heavy
duty cast iron bed that provides high accuracy
and stability.
Linear guideways permit impressive feed
and traverse rates – up to 12,000 mm/min and
20 m/min in X (18 m/min in Y and 16m/min in
Z), respectively – while, as standard, the 22 kW
spindle motor is complemented by a 20-station
automatic toolchanger.
For Steel Dynamics, however, Ward CNC
was able to not only provide the machine on a
very short delivery – to satisfy the customer’s
urgent need to update its capability – but it also
provided a machine with a higher specification
main motor (26 kW) and larger capacity
toolchanger (40 tools) again to meet Steel
Dynamics’ specific demands.

GETTING A
KNIGHT OF THE
RAILS BACK UP
TO STEAM
The workshops of the Llangollen Railway
provide maintenance for its own rolling stock as
well as supporting other heritage railways
around the UK and building brand new steam
locomotives to order. Like many such
organisations it relies on donations, not only of
cash and time, but also machine tools. However,
when one particular project came up the
decision was taken to invest in new machinery
in the form of an XYZ SLX 425 ProTURN lathe.
The project in question was the restoration
of the iconic streamlined A4 Class locomotive
Sir Nigel Gresley. Built in 1937, the Sir Nigel
Gresley holds the post-war steam speed record
of 112 mph (180 km/h) which it achieved on 23
May 1959 while hauling a full train of
passengers. In its life it has had many
overhauls, and the latest is taking place in full
public view at the National Railway Museum in
York by the Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive
Company Volunteers, except for its boiler,
which has been stripped of its streamlining and
transferred to Llangollen for refurbishment and
re-certification. As part of this boiler restoration
the boiler stays must be replaced, these
threaded shafts support and brace the metal
walls of the firebox against the pressure (up to
250 psi) and are an important safety feature. As
the boiler on the Sir Nigel Gresley requires 296
of these stays of various lengths with
Whitworth threads on either end an upgrade
In an effort to help members of the welding
community master their craft, ESAB Welding &
Cutting Products has created the ESAB Elite, a
team of respected welders from across the
globe, to share wisdom and provide practical
welding advice through social media. To kick
off the program, each partner has created
welding tips videos for esab.com/elite and the
playlist on ESAB’s YouTube channel.
“The welding industry has embraced
Instagram and YouTube as ways to share work,
solve problems and challenge each other to see
who can lay the best beads. The ESAB Elite
program adds fuel to their fire and channels the
energy of these social media leaders so that the
industry collectively benefits,” says Steven
from manual turning was deemed wise.
Llangollen Railway therefore took the
decision to invest in an XYZ SLX 425 Proturn
lathe with a 1.25 m between centre distanced
length. A decision that is paying dividends as
each boiler stay can now be machined complete
in half the time that they previously took on a
manual lathe. “The ProtoTRAK control makes
life very easy as it guides you through
everything, the TRAKing feature is very handy
and the Do-One canned cycle feature in the
control is extremely useful for machining
features such as radii and chamfers. In addition
to the easy conversational programming, we
always use the Verify graphical system for

O’Toole.
The ‘Do-One feature in the ProtoTRAK SLX
control used on ProTURN lathes allows the
operator to combine manual and CNC
operation to create radii, tapers, fillets and
repair threads. The operator simply inputs the
angle or radii into the control and then by using
the electronic handwheels can manually create
the shape or form required. For one-off and
low-volume batches this can generate
significant time savings.

ESAB PARTNERS WITH PROACTIVE GAS SAFETY FOR CP7
GAS EQUIPMENT INSPECTOR TRAINING COURSES
ESAB, one of the world leader in welding
and cutting technologies, is excited to be
entering into a partnering with Proactive Gas
Safety Ltd (PGS) for the provision of Oxy-
Fuel CP7 Inspector courses, with successful
candidates being awarded a nationally
accredited EAL (Excellence in Achievement
LTD) Level 3 QCF Qualification
(Qualifications and Credit Framework) This
is the highest level of achievement available
for compressed gas safety training in the UK
and qualifies individuals to undertake
annual inspections of oxyacetylene/propane
equipment as required by
BCGA CP7 (British Compressed Gases
Association Code of Practice 7).
Under this scheme, successful completion
of the two-day course and QCF Qualification
provides a three-year Gas Safety Passport for
inspecting gas equipment. The credit cardsized
Gas Safety Passport shows the
Accredited Inspector’s photograph, the date
on which the course was taken and the date
on which re-certification is required. This is
particularly useful when registered
inspectors are working on customers’ sites
and need to present evidence of their
qualification.
The two-day Inspector course includes
classroom training, practical demonstrations
and hands-on sessions. Multiple-choice tests
are conducted throughout the course and
there is a formal exam at the end that
candidates must pass to be awarded their
certificate.
There will no longer be a requirement for
annual refresher training as re-certification
will take place on 3-yearly cycle. e.g. 2018 2
day training; 2021 -1 day refresher; 2024 -2
day refresher; 2027 - 1 day refresher.
PGS Gas Safety Passport holders are
given comprehensive technical support and
unlimited access to downloadable

ORGANISATION, EFFICIENCY AND CONFORMITY AT JOTA
ADVANCED ENGINEERING
Built around its successful motorsport team
the Jota Group has used the skills and
experience that winning at Le Mans brings to
develop a business that spans Jota Sport
which designs, builds and supports racewinning
GT, LMP2 and LMP1 class cars; Jota
Aviation, a successful aviation charter
business, and Jota Advanced Engineering, a
relatively new, but dynamic sub-contract
machining facility. The driving force behind
the Group’s success is its passion for
everything it does, whether preparing a racewinning
Le Mans car, flying people and
cargo around the globe or precision
machining exotic materials. The group’s aim
is simply to be the best, by focusing on
attention to detail and delivering on its
promises.
While Jota Advanced Engineering is the
latest name to join the Group, machining has
been a part of the business for many years.
Initially the race team technicians used
manual machines to create one-off bespoke
parts on, this developed into a small machine
shop contained in the race teams workshop.
The growth in demand for more complex
parts for its own cars, along with
opportunities in the sub-contract machining
sector, saw a need for expansion and Jota
Advanced Engineering was created. Already
accredited with ISO9001 Jota Advanced
Engineering is working towards further
accreditations in the automotive sector that
will assist it to further expand its already
nationwide customer base from the
Automotive, motorsport aerospace and
power generation sectors.
“We have built the business around the
Group’s common goal of delivering results,
in our case drawing on our precision
engineering skills to create tight tolerance
work, often in difficult to machine materials,
and in many cases taking on work that others
didn’t want to do,” says Ryan Goodger,
Director, Jota Advanced Engineering. In
order to achieve this the company has
invested in a range of high-tech machine
tools, including multi-axis turning centres
with live tooling and a five-axis machining
centre. These are supported by the latest in
CADCAM and production control software,
along with a team of highly skilled engineers.
With the growth in the machining business
and number of machines, came a
requirement for more tools and
workholding, which in turn needed to be
stored in a planned and efficient manner.
With the race team, Jota Sport, already
using Fami storage in its race bays it was a
logical step to call System Store Solutions
back in to design the workshop storage
layout for Jota Advanced Engineering.
“Organisation and image is key in the sectors
that we operate in so to have a consistent
look running through the race team and
engineering division made perfect sense,”
says Ryan Goodger. “Not only that, but to be
able to respond quickly to customer
demands we need to be confident that we can
locate tools and fixtures quickly, with the
Fami solution we know everything has a
place and everything is in its place. In
addition to the increased efficiency that the
Fami storage from System Store Solutions
gives us, the workshop environment is also
more manageable as it has become second
nature to keep things neat and tidy.”

LANTEK MES MANAGER PROVIDES COMPANIES
WITH AN EASY WAY TO TRACE PRODUCTION AND
GET ON THE ROAD TO INDUSTRY 4.0
Implementing Industry 4.0 can seem daunting
for sheet metal companies. However, one of
the industry leader Lantek has some software
tools which provide the first steps, delivering
practical and relevant solutions at an
affordable cost, aimed at producing an
immediate impact on efficiency and customer
satisfaction.
With Lantek MES Manager
manufacturing execution system, engineers
can upload a bill of materials for the products
being manufactured including parts and
subassemblies. Parts are then filtered
according to material type and thickness
ready for nesting in Lantek Expert
CAD/CAM software. At this stage
additional parts from other jobs or
remanufactured parts can be added to the
nest, optimising material utilisation.
Within Lantek MES Manager, the full
sequence of operations required for the
manufacture of each part or subassembly is
stored. This can include for example, laser
cutting, punching, bending, assembly and
painting.
On the shop floor Lantek MES Wos
resides on standard touch screen computers
In June last year, Guhring officially opened
its new 60,000sq/ft £12m manufacturing
facility on Birmingham's Advanced
Manufacturing Hub. The new UK
headquarters of the German owned cutting
tool manufacturer was a necessity for the
company to fulfil its future UK growth
ambitions.
For the previous three years, growth had
been constrained by the company being
located on two separate sites that were
crammed to capacity with manufacturing
equipment. Despite the space constraints, it
was two Vollmer PCD erosion machines that
had proven integral to the success of the PCD
tooling department; running efficiently and
productively to keep Guhring ahead of its
increasing order book.
In the 12 months since moving to the new
facility, Guhring has increased staff numbers
by 15% - taking on apprentices in the process.
What is more pertinent is that Guhring UK
previously manufactured 35% of its solid
carbide and PCD product lines in the UK
with the remaining 65% imported from
Germany. Since the factory move, this ratio
has increased to 50% UK manufactured.
Standard product lines and a small quantity
of application specific tooling are imported
or tablets for data capture and to provide
operators with details of the sequence of
manufacturing operations. Links to the
machines record start and finish times for
cutting, while for other tasks employees can
log on to jobs and operations recording the
progress of each part around the workshop
in a paperless environment.
Links back to Lantek MES Manager make
this information available in report form so
that managers can see exactly where parts
are in the production process in real time.
With this live information, companies can
assess and improve the efficiency of
machinery and processes, ensure parts are
delivered on time, quickly detect delays and
from Germany; however January 2018
proved a landmark month with UK
manufactured special tooling sales
outstripping standard product sales for the
first time in Guhring UK’s 40 year history.
The UK manufacturing and re-grinding
divisions of the business have seen sales soar
since the move to the new factory.
Additionally, the installation of a second
coating plant has further underpinned the
company’s strong sales performance.
Integral to the success of the PCD tooling
division at Guhring is its Vollmer QWD750
and QWD750H wire erosion machines.
As Guhring UK’s National Sales Manager,
Mr Dave Hudson says: “The Guhring
cost overruns and provide customers with
accurate information about the progress of
their orders.
For manufacturers with an existing ERP or
sales order processing system, data can be
transferred into and out of Lantek MES
Manager, making use of the investment in
existing technology. However, companies also
have the option of expanding the system with
Lantek’s Integra software. This system
provides wide ranging functionality including
quotation and CRM capabilities, highly
accurate costings, using the intelligence of
Lantek Expert CADCAM, as well as stock
management, documentation and invoicing
and control of multi-site operations.
Taking the first steps towards Industry 4.0
with Lantek MES Manager and Lantek MES
Wos is easy and will deliver traceability and
transparency in manufacturing. Areas for
efficiency improvement will be easier find
and test for effectiveness, customers will be
kept better informed and hence more loyal
and the headache of controlling production
will be a thing of the past.

GUHRING’S PCD TOOLING DIVISION RELIES ON
VOLLMER TECHNOLOGY
manufacturing plant runs 3-shifts for 5 ½
days a week whilst the automation level of
the Vollmer machines in the PCD
department only requires 2-shifts per day.
This labour saving is credit to the Vollmer
machines and our lean manufacturing
processes and workflow scheduling.”
As Mr Hudson says: “Manufacturers
increasingly require multi-function and often
multi-stepped cutting tools to reduce
processes, cycle times and also improve
quality and process stability. This is
particularly true of OEMs and companies in
high-volume environments. To serve these
customers, some special tools will have more
than 18 to 30 PCD segments that are stepped
along the tool shank. The Vollmer QWD
machines are extremely precise and will hold
a 5 micron tolerance in our temperature
controlled building with no problems. This
tight-tolerance capability eliminates tool
grinding processes in many instances. By
eliminating secondary tool grinding, we can
reduce production times; secondary set-up
times and improve the workflow and
throughput of the PCD department.”

hyperMILL ® CAM
STRATEGIES
OPEN MIND will be exhibiting at the
Farnborough International Airshow from 16 to 22
July 2018. On Stand 41660 in Hall 4, the
CAD/CAM developer will present the
hyperMILL® CAM solution for companies in the
aviation and aerospace industry. The leading
software for 5axis machining pushes the limits of
machining centers to meet the special industry
requirements for complex parts and sophisticated
materials. OPEN MIND will provide information
about milling, turning, and HSC, HPC, 2.5D, 3D,
and 5axis machining, as well as process chains
involving PLM and simulations.
OPEN MIND will present proven solutions
for the aviation industry with modules for easy,
secure programming of impeller, blisk, and blade
machining. hyperMILL® also includes many
interesting features for the challenges posed by
other complex parts. These include a range of
innovative 5axis simultaneous strategies that
enable efficient machining of challenging
geometries such as free-form surfaces or deep
cavities. For example, 5axis helical drilling, a
helical tilt milling method in which the milling
tool is tilted in cutting mode, allows holes to be
formed easily and efficiently. A second tilt
prevents collision with the hole wall. This is
advantageous because only one tool is needed for
different drill diameters, or open pockets of
varying sizes. Pre-drilling is not necessary, and
the strategy is very well suited for materials that
are hard to cut.
The hyperMILL® MAXX Machining
performance package is comprised of a set of
machining strategies that are highly popular in
the aerospace industry. Machining strategies in
this package that will be presented at the trade
fair include the extremely efficient finishing of
difficult-to-access surfaces for which OPEN
MIND has developed 5axis tangent plane
machining with conical barrel cutters. This offers
enormous potential for optimization: it takes 90
percent less time than conventional methods.
“Aircraft manufacturers and their suppliers
represent an industry that sets high standards in
terms of innovative materials, machining quality,
and secure processes. At the Farnborough
International Airshow, we will show attendees
how they can use innovative hyperMILL®
strategies to further increase their productivity
and competitiveness,” says Illias Mustafa,
Director Global Accounts, at OPEN MIND
Technologies.

SICK LAUNCHES PLUG-AND-PLAY
‘SNAPSHOT’ SENSOR
SICK has launched a configurable, plug-andplay
3D detection sensor based on its
Visionary-T range of industrial 3D imaging
cameras, harnessing the imaging power of
SICK’s single-snapshot Time-of–Flight (TOF)
technology for a range of detection and
collision warning duties.
With on-board processing, the Visionary-
T DT sensor can be easily configured for a
variety of applications to detect the presence
or absence of 3D objects. It therefore offers a
versatile, entry-level option for collision
warning on forklifts, Automated Guided
Vehicles (AGVs) and Carts (AGCs).
Tasks that were previously difficult to
achieve with a fixed camera are now quickly
and easily accomplished by the Visionary-T
DT, for example to detect whether a bin, tote
German tooling manufacturer, Horn, has
introduced two grooving systems for internal
machining of bores. System 209 is intended
for bores of diameter 16 mm and above,
while system 216 machines bores greater
than or equal to 20 mm diameter.
Both systems utilise toolholders with
internal cooling. A robust shank with
elliptical cross-section of the boring bar neck
ensures excellent damping properties. The
ground shanks, of g6 quality, are available in
left-hand or right-hand design.
Coolant flows from a nozzle in the
clamping finger and from the side of the tool
holder. The two jets cool the cutting zone
effectively and remove chips from the inside
of the workpiece in a controlled, efficient
manner.
Precision-sintered, indexable, two-edged
inserts with cutting widths from 2 to 6 mm
are available in geometries .5, .1A and .KF for
cutting medium strength materials. All three
geometries offer good chip control and
targeted chip breaking, even on longchipping
materials.
or stillage is completely empty, part full, or
overloaded.
The sensor provides 3D image analysis
with a simple yes/no, occupied or
unoccupied, signal depending on the
configuration. A discrete output signal
enables easy integration with an automated
system. Direct communication capability can
be set up to a visual display, an acoustic
alarm or a PC, and to enable activity
recording for later appraisal of any incidents.
The Visionary-T DT can assess the
availability of a workstation or cell on a
production line where a large object, such as
a vehicle or other machinery assembly, is to
be moved for the next phase and warn of any
intrusions.
SICK’s Visionary-T imaging sensors
capture high-resolution real-time 3D images
with one shot of light, dispensing with the
need to profile a moving object through laser
triangulation. The SICK single-snapshot
technology does not need movement to
create the depth of field and object resolution
required for high-performance 3D detection.
The Visionary-T DT can be configured
using a PC, SICK’s SOPAS software tool and
a purpose-designed Graphical User Interface.
3D objects or detection zones can be taught
from the camera without the need for
complex programming.

NEW INTERNAL GROOVING SYSTEM
The 209 system toolholders with a shank
diameter of 16 mm allow retraction distances
of up to 30 mm in conjunction with a
grooving depth of 3.5 mm. For bores with a
diameter of 18 mm or above, a more stable
shank diameter of 20 mm, also with a
retraction distance of 30 mm, can be used to
achieve a grooving depth of 5 mm. The 216
system toolholders, with a shank diameter of
20 or 25 mm, enable grooving depths down
to 7 mm at a projection length of 2 x D.

SUMITOMO
OVERCOMES
PROBLEMS
Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal has developed
a new style GS chipbreaker that overcomes
problems and improves control of the
process when milling deep shoulders and
slots involving up to 6 mm depth-of-cut on
components using its SEC-Sumi Dual Mill
(DFC) Type cutter body range.
When successfully introduced two years ago,
the DFC Type Dual Mill was a breakthrough
in cutter body and insert design. The XNMU
inserts bring new levels of economics in
reduced costs as they are available as doublesided
inserts with six corners.
With the addition of GS to the existing
XNMU series of three chipbreaker inserts
this specifically accommodates deeper
cutting situations up to 6 mm in steel and
cast iron. The existing chipbreakers were
targeted at L for light milling, G for general
purpose and H for roughing as well as heavy
interrupted cuts plus hard steel milling. The
cutting edge of the GS chipbreaker is set at 25
deg with a range of corner radii between 0.4
mm and 1.6 mm. The cutting edge enhances
the toughness of the insert which also
incorporates a wiper edge that helps to
optimise machining accuracy and surface
finish.
The new cutter body and insert
development of DFC capitalised on the
benefits of higher security and accuracy of
index by separating the location area from
the cutting edge so that it is able to match the
machining accuracy of single-sided inserts.
It also provided higher stability under cut
and especially when high, optimised feed
rates are involved.
DFC Type Dual Mill spans shank bodies
in standard and fine pitch between 25 mm
and 80 mm diameter with between two and
seven teeth. Shell mill cutters are in
standard, fine and extra fine pitch between 50
mm and 160 mm diameter and with between
four and 16 teeth.

RAINFORD
PRECISION
INTRODUCE HIGH
ACCURACY END
MILLS
Specifically aimed at the toolmaking industry,
Rainford Precision has now introduced the new
series of HSB-S Unimax ball nose end mills from
Union Tool. The new range of small short shank
end mills is targeted at manufacturers who
demand the utmost in precision, performance
and longevity when machining intricate features
and challenging materials.
The new 2-flute short-shank end mills are
ground to an H4 tolerance of 0/-0.004 mm,
demonstrating that this product line is the tool of
choice for precision machine shops that demand
performance levels that are beyond the realms of
most tooling vendors. Designed for application
with precision machine tools and tool holders
such as shrink-fit holders, the HSB-S is offered
with an overall length from 35 to 40 mm to
minimise tool protrusion and maximise rigidity.
Importantly a key feature of this range is the
±0.003 mm tolerance of the ball nose radius to
improve surface finish when machining this is
aided by having a +0/-0.004 mm shank
tolerance ensuring concentricity of the cutting
edges is at its highest.
The HSB-S Unimax is offered with a ball nose
radius of R0.1, R0.15, R0.2, R0.3, R0.4, R0.5, R0.75,
R1, R1.5 and R2 mm with a length of cut from 0.2
mm to 4 mm. Designated as a series for
machining materials of 40HRC and above; this
range delivers uncompromising levels of tool life
and performance. This is guaranteed through the
innovative HardMax coating technology,
negative rake angle geometry and overall
precision of the tool geometry. These features
combine to provide the ideal balance of tool
hardness, heat-resistance and durability. The
negative rake reduces as the radius transitions to
the periphery and this minimises tool deflection
and generates mirror-finish surfaces that far
exceed the quality of anything seen before.
As well as offering precision, performance,
uncompromising surface finishes and tool life,
the HSB-S also delivers flexibility with its ability
to effectively machine materials such as carbon,
alloy, pre-hardened and hardened steels up to
70HRC. Additionally, the HardMax coating
enables the HSB-S to efficiently process copper,
cast iron, titanium alloys and heat-resistant
alloys.

SICK’S RELY
SAFETY RELAYS:
“NEW TRICKS”
FROM AN OLD
FRIEND
WHEN it comes to choosing the right safety
relay, identifying the smallest performance
improvements can result in big productivity
gains. That’s why SICK has developed its ReLy
safety relays to achieve a 10 ms response time
with a class-leading, long and durable product
lifecycle.
In a range of just four products, the SICK
ReLy safety relays meet most needs for
monitoring safety functions or safety sensors up
to PL e (EN ISO 13849) and SIL3 (IEC 61508),
while enabling simpler selection, installation
and maintenance.
“Safety relays may be an everyday device
for monitoring safety sensors and switches, but
identifying the best-performing product for
your application can be a time-consuming and
laborious process,” explains Seb Strutt SICK
UK’s safety specialist. “With such a plethora of
different devices on the market, we wanted to
rationalise safety relay specification.
“SICK’s ReLy safety relays therefore offer
some great “new tricks” from an old friend. Our
aim was to achieve true gains in performance
and usability while making it easier for
engineers to stay with a high-performing range
they can rely on, saving their selection time and
reducing stock inventories.”
The SICK ReLy safety relay more than
halves the response time of comparable safety
relays, thereby reducing corresponding safety
distances. Even a small reduction in safety
distances can result in a significant overall
increase in operator productivity on a machine.
The addition of a ‘reset-required’ output to
the ReLy relays and on-board diagnostics via an
LED status display enables easy maintenance
with minimal downtime. The SICK ReLy is also
capable of operating for a class-leading number
of switching cycles before replacement is
needed.
The ReLy’s narrow 18mm-wide housing
takes up minimal space in the control cabinet,
with easy push-in front wiring and a one-click
fit-and-release mechanism for simple set-up
and quick replacement.

A NEW ANSWER
FOR HIGH-
PRECISION
GRINDING
Ewag’s Profile Line – a new five-axis grinding
centre that sets new standards in the high
precision machining of indexable carbide inserts
– is now available in the UK from Walter Ewag
UK, a member of the United Grinding Group.
Developed jointly by Ewag AG and sister
company Walter Maschinenbau GmbH, and
incorporating Ewag's world-leading software
and tooling expertise, which includes Ewag’s
Smart chuck, a host of additional innovative
features are provided on a machine having a
rapid traverse rate of 15 m/min and with X, Y
and Z axis travels of 330 mm, 200 mm, 470 mm,
respectively:
• Integrated six-station wheel changer
• The use of customer-specific pallets
• Vision system for part recognition
• Innovative ProGrind and Helitronic Tool
Studio software.
The six-station robot changer for grinding
wheel sets and coolant supply manifolds
ensures optimum wheel selection, thereby
maximising the machining volume for sintered
blanks.
Another outstanding feature for autonomous
multi-shift operation is the use of an integrated
six-axis Fanuc robot cell where customerspecific
pallets can be held and a high-resolution
CCD-HD vision system is available for
loading/unloading using magnetic grippers.
Cleaning, re-clamping and centring stations can
also be integrated and adapted to customerspecific
demands.
In addition, Profile Line for the first time
combines Ewag’s renowned ProGrind software
with Walter’s market-leading Helitronic Tool
Studio software in the user-friendly Fanuc CNC
system for the fast and effective 3-D simulation
of production routines.
The result is a dramatic expansion in the
range of applications that can be performed on a
wide variety of interchangeable inserts. Indeed,
even the most complex insert geometries – such
as those used for drilling or milling applications
- can be ground in one set-up with resulting
benefits in both precision and productivity.

NEW HELLER HF 3500 5-AXIS
HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTRE IS
BUILT IN THE UK
FIBRE LASER
CUTTING MACHINE
FOR 12-METRE SHEET
The range of laser cutting systems
manufactured by Swiss company Bystronic
(www.bystronic.com) has been extended
with the introduction of a new model capable
of processing sheet up to 12 metres long by
two metres wide. BySprint Fiber 12020 is able
to cut large components or more parts of
smaller size, extending versatility and
productivity.
As larger sheets allow more efficient
nesting, material utilisation is high so waste
is minimised. Proprietary BySoft 7 software
supports the user with intelligent nesting
routines. Power of the laser source can be 3, 4
or 6 kW to suit the intended applications.
In addition to having the ability to cut
extra-large metal sheets, the 12020 format
machine allows several smaller sheets to be
processed by positioning them next to each
other on the BySprint Fiber’s long cutting
table, extending uninterrupted production
time compared with smaller machines.
Bystronic also offers the BySprint Fiber for
cutting maximum sheet sizes in metres of 8 x
2, 6.5 x 2, 4 x 2 and 3 x 1.5

Heller (www.heller.biz) has
introduced a new model to its 5-axis,
horizontal-spindle machining centre
range. The HF 3500 is one of the
models being built in the new
manufacturing flow line at its
Redditch factory, along with the
larger HF 5500 and numerous sizes of
4-axis machine for global markets.
The company is one of only two that
currently builds machine tools in the
UK and as a consequence is ideally
placed to provide enhanced levels of
service and support to customers.
The HF 3500 is intended for 5-
sided or simultaneous 5-axis dynamic
machining of medium to large batches of
complex prismatic parts, from small
workpieces to heavier components up to the
550 kg maximum table load. An optional
Speed Package enables 10 m/s2 acceleration
and rapids of 90 m/min to be achieved,
reducing chip-to-chip time by approximately
10 percent compared with the standard
machine.
Working volume is defined by X / Y / Z
travels of 710 / 750 / 710 mm, with generous
interference contours. Feedback of axis
position to the control is via linear scales for
maximum precision. The machine can be
equipped with a lift-and-rotate pallet
changer for series 5-sided production, while
pallet automation solutions are available.
The fourth and fifth axes are provided by
a rotary table on a +30 to -120 degree
swivelling trunnion, both with direct drive,
which moves towards the spindle rather than
vice versa. According to Heller Machine
Tools managing director Matthias Meyer, the
configuration minimises vibration of the
spindle and hence of the cutter for better
component accuracy and increased tool life.
Four motor spindle options are available
with speeds up to 18,000 rpm and torques up
to 354 Nm. The lift-and-swivel toolchanger
has two NC axes for short idle times and
consistent operation. Chain-type tool
magazine capacities are HSK-A 63: 54, 80 and
160 pockets or HSK-A 100: 50, 100 and 150
pockets. A central, open chip conveyor
ensures efficient swarf collection and
removal, already promoted by the free chip
fall characteristics of the horizontal-spindle
design.

HORN INTRODUCES BOEHLERIT ISO TURNING TOOLS
WITH INTERNAL COOLING
Under the joint cooperation between
Horn, Germany and Boehlerit,
Austria, whereby both sell each
other's tooling, Ringwood-based
Horn Cutting Tools has announced
the availability of Boehlerit's new
turning toolholders with connections
for internal coolant supply. They are
available from stock with toggle
clamp (ISO-P) and screw clamp (ISO-
S) systems, allowing manufacturers to
benefit from the productivity
advantages of cooling directly at the
cutting edge.
The P variety is suitable for all ISO
indexable inserts. There are no loose
parts and only a few spares are
required, making them easy to
handle. Inserts can be clamped
quickly and securely and released
easily. Chip flow is smooth, as there
are no obstructions. The S toolholders
also enable the insert to be secured
simply and safely, in this case using a
cone-shaped positioning screw. Here
too, chip flow is not compromised
and a maximum of three spare parts
is needed. In both cases, the coolant is
supplied at the back of the shank end
as standard or from below the head as
an option.

NEW FLOW LINE FOR
MACHINING CENTRE
PRODUCTION AT
HELLER'S UK FACTORY
More than £2 million has been spent
upgrading the Heller Machine Tools
manufacturing plant and headquarters in
Redditch, UK. The administrative and
applications engineering departments have
benefitted from a comprehensive makeover, a
new customer area for machine demonstrations
has been added, and production output of
horizontal machining centres has risen by 30
per cent.
The Worcestershire factory started operating
in 1995, 21 years after the formation the UK
subsidiary of Heller Maschinenfabrik GmbH,
Germany. As part of the latest initiatives,
activities in Redditch have expanded into
assembly of 5-axis machines in addition to 4-
axis models for world markets. The site is also a
global competence centre for high quality, high
precision turnkey projects and innovative
manufacturing solutions.
David Evans, operations manager at the
plant commented, "As part of our expansion,
we recently installed an 11-station Strothmann
flow line and new logistics system for complete
manufacture of horizontal machining centres.
O r i g i n a l l y ,
our machine
assembly was
purely a
mechanical
process on an
adjacent flow
line and the
machine had
to be lifted off
to be finished
in a separate
part of the
factory.
"When we
first moved
from block
assembly of machines in one location to the old
flow line, there was an immediate 20 per cent
increase in productivity. The new Strothmann
system has resulted in a further reduction of at
least 20 per cent in overall assembly time and
we intend to improve on that further by making
the process even leaner."
Heller's managing director in the UK, Dipl.-
Ing. Matthias Meyer concluded, “The fact that
we manufacture in this market gives our
customers in the UK and Ireland considerable
added value. Not only does our staff have a
level of product knowledge that is much deeper
than it would be otherwise, but also we can call
on shop floor operatives, all of whom are
apprentice-trained, to help out with installation,
commissioning and service if required.

FLEXIBILITY AND QUALITY…ASSURED!
With the FORM family of die-sinking
electrical discharge machining (DSEDM)
solutions, GF Machining Solutions is aiming to
ensure manufacturers continuing success.
The Agie Charmilles FORM X, FORM S,
FORM P and FORM E series of die-sink EDM
machines feature improved software and a
range of technical innovations all designed to
give precision mould makers and component
manufacturers a definite competitive advantage.
Whether the requirement is for a single
(stand alone) machine for straightforward use or
with full and integrated automation, FORM
machine tool solutions enable users to meet
current and future challenges with greater
flexibility, improved machining accuracy and
reduced operational costs.
The machines provide customers with
Econowatt technology to save energy, a variety
of Industry 4.0-oriented connectivity features to
help support manufacturers’ digital
transformation, and e-Tracking software for
EDM process monitoring and full traceability.
From faster rib machining to micromachining,
the Agie Charmilles FORM family is
the outcome of GF Machining Solutions’
continued investment in advanced DSEDM
research.
Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal has extended
its highly successful WFX-Type Wave Mill
screw-locking shoulder milling cutter range
using the proven economic advantageous series
of four corner inserts into the WFXH, a high feed
rate multi-purpose roughing, and the WFXC
chamfering-type bodies.
By maintaining the use of existing inserts in
the WFX Series, tool management and stock
holding of inserts becomes more economic
extending their use to a wider range of
applications. The combination of the existing
inserts and new cutter bodies offer high stability
and are able to create optimal levels
of axial run-out within 0.03 mm on
materials including steel and exotic
alloys, stainless and die steels, cast
iron and non-ferrous materials.
The original WFX Wave Mill
high precision cutters were
developed to provide optimised
squareness up to 90 deg shoulders.
For depths-of-cut up to 10 mm, the
cost-efficient four corner insert with
the high performance Sumitomo
developed ACE-Coat Super ZX
multi-layer PVD coating, in-cut life
was some 1.5 times greater than
conventional inserts.
This high productivity return is also due to
the precision machined seating in the body and
controlled insert manufacture to enable high
orders of shoulder squareness on the milled
component which is also achieved with excellent
levels of surface finish.
The result is that AgieCharmilles FORM
series users are able to achieve better
performance in machining with either graphite
and/or copper electrodes.
The FORM series allows for repeatable
machining of micro-cavities and the machines’
onboard ‘iGAP’ technology guarantees the
rigidity of plastic, injection-moulded end
products with deep, plastic-reinforced ribs. It
also ensures fast, accurate machining of rib
cavities with respect to the required demoulding
taper and VDI homogeneity
throughout the cavity surface.

SUMITOMO’S WFX-TYPE WAVE MILL EXPANDED
WITH WFXH AND WFXC
The extended Wave Mill cutter bodies are
available in shell and endmill versions each
using four-corner inserts. For high feed rate
applications and roughing cycles, WFXH
inserts are set at 15 deg cutting edge angles
while the WFXC chamfer-type bodies have a 45
deg cutting edge.
The optimised edge strength of the WFX
indexable inserts is achieved using a convex
shape whilst a flat between its corners
minimises marking of the machined part due to
any differences in levels when step cutting
using sequential cutting depths. In addition, a
wiper insert with 15 deg cutting edge to its
single corner is also available in order to achieve
even greater surface flatness and finer finishes.

The largest British manufacturer of
Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tooling,
Exactaform, recently moved into its purposebuilt
business facility. From this new site the
company designs, develops and produces
world-class cutting tools for aerospace,
automotive and motorsports as well as
precision engineering applications.
CUTTING TOOLS
EXACTAFORM INVESTMENT LEADS
TO A SPARKLING PERFORMANCE
When John Inglis started his fledgling
company back in 1979 it was trading as a
supplier of Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD)
and Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) inserts,
primarily to suit the automotive sector.
However, as modern materials evolved,
Exactaform Cutting Tools changed its focus
and has since become one of the largest
premier manufacturers of PCD cutting tools in
the Europe, supplying global aerospace and
automotive markets.
Until recently Exactaform operated from
multi-unit facilities in Coventry to provide
technically advanced cutting tool solutions for
its customers’ non-ferrous applications. As
John Inglis recalls: “We continually re-invest
in plant, machinery and engineers, to support
the growing global demand for our tooling,
and with 30 per cent year-on-year growth over
the past few years we knew we would exceed
the limits of our previous facilities. So, at the
end of 2015 we acquired this site. Following
the due planning process and architectural
designs honed to meet our exact requirements,
we moved in within a three-week period
during August 2017.”
cent delivery of cutting tools to our
customers,” states Peter Raynor.
Two new machine tools were also added to
the extensive list during the move, a DMG
Mori Lasertec and a Rollomatic ShapeSmart
NP3. The Lasertec machine increases the
workshop’s efficiency when cutting PCD
blanks, as John Inglis says: “An operation that
previously took several hours using wire EDM
can now be carried out in just 20 minutes.”
Over 60 highly skilled staff, from tool and
cutter grinders to experienced applications
engineers, support Exactaform’s customer
base. “We focus on diamond tooling for exotic
materials, supplying demanding markets with
New Exactaform Facility in Coventry
machining fibre reinforced composites,
aluminium and composite stacks,” explains
Jamie White.
He continues: “Our growth provides
customers with big company quality, but we
maintain our small company care. This means
customers can ring me, and get an answer
from me. Even though we are busy we value
and place importance on human interaction
and trust.”
Able to design and produce plain and chip
breaking cutting tools between 2 mm and 300
mm diameter, at an infinite number of
increments between, most of the machine tools
on the shopfloor feature automated loading
Today, Exactaform operates from 22,000 ft2 of
the new 44,000 ft2 facility. The remaining
space has been built ready for planned future
growth, but will be let out on a short-term
business lease in the meantime. The detailed
planning required to move all the multi-axis
CNC tool and cutter grinding machines and
ancillary equipment was significant, and the
task was jointly addressed by directors Peter
Raynor and Jamie White.
“We had to plan and produce cutting tools in
advance, to cover the period of time that each
machine would be in-transit and
recommissioned at the new site. Careful
preparation and hard work by everyone
involved resulted in us achieving a 100 per
high precision, high speed machining
requirements. Our PCD tooling has been
proven a highly desirable solution to
and unloading. Peter Raynor says: “Batch
sizes vary, but we can multi load our Walter,
Vollmer and Rollomatic machines to keep
them running around-the-clock, even over the
weekend. It keeps the cost down for the
customer and allows us to meet very tight
delivery timescales.”
As well as new PCD tooling the company also
offers a cost-effective refurbishment service
for its own and competitors tools. Re-tipped
and refurbished tools can also be turned
around quicker if the customer needs a
specific tool back quickly, and it allows
customers to extend the life expectancy of
their investment.

FINISHING, CLEANING AND DEGREASING
CLEAN AND BURR-FREE
With increasing requirements for burr-free, clean components, there
is growing focus on the technologies that can help manufacturers
avoid the indignity of having parts rejected by customers for failing
to meet these demands. Needless to say, for complex, tight-tolerance
parts, the demands are even higher, which is why Walther Trowal
has recently redesigned its CM vibratory system to ensure the
optimised surface finishing of high-value workpieces like blisks for
aeroplane and land-based turbines. The redesign is said to ensure
that components receive a uniform, homogeneous, high-quality
finish with repeatable results.
To date, the surface finishing of blisks has been performed
manually with grinding disks and other manually operated tools.
Due to the ‘human factor’, the quality of the
final finish could vary greatly between
workpieces.
The Walther Trowal CM system allows
the deburring and general surface
improvement of components with diameters
of up to 980mm. Single workpieces are
mounted to the inner dome of the processing
bowl. After the grinding media has been
filled into the bowl, a vibratory motor causes
the complete work bowl to vibrate. This
effect causes a constant ‘rubbing’ of the
media against the fixed workpiece. Since the
rubbing action is highly homogeneous, a
uniform, even finish on all surface areas of
the disk and blades is said to be achieved.
After completion of the process, the surface
roughness readings amount to Ra 0.2 to
0.4µm.
Starting with an initial surface roughness
of Ra 4 to 5µm, the desired finishing results
are achieved within 5-6 hours. Compared
with this method, the manual finishing of
blisks can take several days.
On the topic of vibratory bowl finishing, a
recent entrant to the UK market is TAD,
which now has systems available via TM
Robotics. The TAD range of vibrating and
electromagnetic feeding bowls includes
bespoke bowl-feeding systems that are
customised for clients in niche industries, or
manufacturers with specific challenges.
Each feeding system meets demands such
as the positioning of geometrically complex
parts, gentle handling and high frequency
rates. For example, TAD feeding systems for
food and beverage industry components are
designed to comply with all FDA
regulations. Every bowl feeder in this range
is made of AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel
with mirror-polished, electro-polished or
projected polyurethane finishes, ensuring
high levels of hygiene.
Guyson is a familiar name in product
finishing, and in another industry
development worthy of note, has recently
updated its showroom facilities in Skipton to
better reflect its range of manual blast
cabinets, as well as its offer for finishing parts
made using additive manufacturing
techniques.
Customers visiting the company’s
showroom can now be walked through the
range of standard Formula and Euroblast
suction-fed manual blast cabinets, trying
each for size. These blast cabinets are
complemented with a range of matching dust
collectors; some fully connected up to their
blast cabinets to show complete systems.
Application-specific blast systems on
display in the showroom include the Guyson
Wheelmaster, which is designed for blastetching
alloy wheels, and incorporates many
special handling features that enable the
operator to use this wheel blasting system
safely, without heavy lifting.
From an additive manufacturing
component perspective, there is an 8m-wide
display unit that presents a 3D rendering of
the company’s latest robotically controlled
finishing station and powder recovery
system.
Of course, once parts have been finished,
there is usually a requirement for final
washing operations. At Runcorn-based
Husco International, a specialist in hydraulic
and electrohydraulic controls, a number of MecWash parts-washing
systems have been installed. In fact, Husco commissioned its first
MecWash Midi for use at the company’s European headquarters in
Runcorn, in 2000. Since then, the company has installed a further six
cleaning systems. Another two machines will be delivered this year,
totalling nine MecWash systems altogether.
“Solid particle contamination can interfere with the lubrication
process in hydraulic fluid systems, causing wear to the components
that can result in additional maintenance and repair costs, and a
substantial decrease in the system’s service life,” explains Husco’s
senior manufacturing engineer Mike Gandy.
Worn components can eventually lead to the seizure of parts,
higher fluid temperatures, leaks and reduced
control. Contamination can also damage the
system’s fluid by accelerating oxidation –
again resulting in inefficient operation.
“All of our parts must be free from
contamination before they reach the
assembly line, where even the smallest levels
of contamination can have significant longterm
effects,” says Mike Gandy. “The
MecWash machines are renowned within the
hydraulic industry for achieving high
cleanliness, which is the main reason we
continue to invest in this technology.”
The Midi and its replacement system,
the MWX400, clean hydraulic control
valves used in off-highway applications,
including agricultural machinery, materials
handling and construction, to the exacting
standards demanded by customers around
the world.
Adds Mike Gandy: “With the
introduction of our new Trinity Cell One at
Runcorn, which is now completed, we are
commencing the installation of the planned
Trinity Cell Two. The continued investment
in cleaning equipment from MecWash
ensures our customers get the highest quality
hydraulic valves to meet their stringent
cleanliness standards.”
Recent developments in parts-cleaning
technology could be seen at the MACH 2018
exhibition at the NEC earlier this year.
Turbex, for example, launched its ProLine 2
range of automated cleaning lines, which is
intended for high levels of precision cleaning
assisted by multi-frequency ultrasonics.
According to the company, cycle times can be
significantly shorter and there is the added
advantage that dissimilar components and
materials can be processed in the same tank.
Promoted also for the first time in the UK
was targeted cleaning, rinsing and drying
technology in a single-chamber machine.
Again available from Turbex, the machine
works alongside a global spray-flood action
coupled with controllable kinematics and
rotatable ultrasonic transducers. The
targeted/global tandem process is intended
for efficient and reliable removal of swarf, oil
and other contaminants from difficult-toreach
areas of components.

FINISHING, CLEANING AND DEGREASING
A CLEAN AND HAZARD-FREE WORKPLACE
JAMES TAYLOR, marketing director for EMEIA (Specialities) at Chicopee, explores the options available for surface and machine
cleaning in industrial premises.
The cleanliness of manufacturing premises is
vital for a number of reasons, not least to
protect the health and safety of employees,
maintain productivity and, ultimately,
preserve the quality of the finished product.
Clean equipment is an essential element in
the production, preparation and
manufacture of a huge range of commodities,
from food to electrical components. Failure to
clean equipment thoroughly can result in
cross-contamination and ultimately a shorter
lifecycle for the machinery itself. Particles of
dirt can be transferred into the equipment
mechanism, leading to breakdowns and
costly down time.
Electrical wiring or other components can
deteriorate, which in addition to having the
potential to cause a breakdown, may also put
the operator at risk. In the case of food
production, unhygienic equipment can result
in the closure of a premises.
Effective cleaning relies on good
workplace procedures, including moves to
prevent excessive dust, temperature control
and the implementation of a regular cleaning
and maintenance schedule. In addition, the
cleaning process itself must not damage
equipment. Some cleaning agents can leave a
potentially toxic residue so a good
understanding of the waste being removed
and how chemicals or water may react with
this and the machinery itself is vital.
Central to an efficient cleaning process is
the use of convenient and cost-effective
The DuraWipe range will lift dirt and
debris from machinery
cleaning materials that are strong enough to
withstand a rigorous cleaning routine. The
demand for single or limited use industrial
wipes has grown in recent years as premises
managers seek convenient, easy to use
products that are also economically
efficient.
Paper wipes may be cheap to purchase
but often lack the strength required for
heavy-duty tasks, disintegrating when they
come into contact with grease or oil. The
nature of many industrial tasks means that
solvents are required to remove stubborn dirt
and grease; often, paper wipes are unable to
cope with this and break down during use.
This in turn leads to high consumption, with
staff spending valuable time emptying bins.
The use of low-cost rags to clean
equipment can bring problems with quality
and consistency. Cleaning materials such as
rags and cut sheets are often delivered in
bulk, in large bags that are unsuitable to be
used at a workstation, resulting in workers
spending time fetching clean materials for
each task.Traditional woven cloths can be
used to remove dirt and grease; however,
these require laundering regularly, which
again adds unnecessary costs in terms of
both time and money.In addition, the threat
exists that small metal particles may remain
within the material even after washing.
The latest generation of industrial
cleaning materials is strong and durable
when wet or dry, with advanced
manufacturing processes employed to
produce materials that are highly absorbent
and durable yet retain a cloth-like feel.
Today’s industrial wipes are suitable for a
huge range of tasks, from degreasing
machinery to removing fingerprints from
chrome. For organisations with lean
manufacturing methods, or those looking to
create a more sustainable environment by
reducing water consumption, high quality
limited use wipes may prove an efficient and
cost-effective choice.

Costa machines have a unique patented LOCK system which
provides total flexibility, reduced downtime between changeover of
brushes and easier maintenance.
Depending on the edge radius required, vertical or orbital type
brushes can be used, either individually or in multiple groups to
ensure the required finish is achieved on the the top or the top and
bottom sides of the component in one pass.
arts up to more than 400mm thick, and more than 3000mm wide
can be processed and the polishing systems have a feeding speed of
up to 50mt/min. It makes these machines the ideal solution for
removal of slag, burrs and oxide even when the parts are warped or
uneven.
When polishing wide stainless steel sheets the quality of the
surface finish remains consistent until belt life end as the machines
automatically compensate for wear of the belts. This is possible
thanks to the machine’s inbuilt PLC which extends the life of the
consumables which further reduces processing costs.
All machines in the Costa range exceed CE and OSHA approval,
with noise reduction systems and special devices to protect operators
and also prevent parts from getting damaged. Not only do the
machines eliminate dangerous and time-consuming manual grinding
work but they also massively increase productivity and reduce
production costs.

HONE-ALL’S GUIDE
TO HONING
Honing is one of those subcontract services
which often suffers an unfairly bad reputation.
There are a number of reasons why honing
suffers and these vary greatly including: Cost,
Delivery and Quality.
So What Is Honing & What Can It Do For
You?
Internal honing is the removal of material
from a round bore using tools with abrasive
stones which expand under pressure to cut and
is used for the following purposes:-
1) To achieve tighter tolerances than can be
achieved with conventional machining methods or
tooling.
2) To improve Surface Finish to ensure
smooth fits with mating parts or reduce wear or
in some cases, to roughen a surface finish
depending on the application i.e. creating cross
hatch finishes for oil
retention.
3) To alter the size of
the bore when design
changes have been made
or requested. Hone-All
have built a large stock
and variety of gauging
over the years but they
say it is almost impossible
to cover every size.
Blind bores are
another reason for honing
getting an unfair
reputation, at times, state
Hone-All. Despite most honing specialists
making the limitations of honing tooling quite
clear to customers on their quotations and
stating that the tool cannot reach the full depth
of the bore, this information is often not picked
up by the customer on the quote and therefore
they sometimes feel that they have not
completed the part to drawing.
Another reason honing companies may
suffer can be due to a lack of knowledge by the
customer of the honing process.
One factor which may impact quality is
indeed, the operator. However, with over 40
years of experience within this field, Hone-All
state their engineers are highly skilled and fully
trained and that’s why they would always
recommend speaking to their honing
specialists to discuss requirements at the
earliest possible stage.
Hone-All have written a guide in the hope
that the information within it will not only
educate and raise awareness of the black art of
honing but also enable their customers to
understand the time frames, the skill, the
requirements and limitations of the honing
process. For further information or to receive a
copy of the guide please contact:

FULLY AUTOMATIC
DEGREASING AND
FINISHING OF
SMALL BULK PARTS
Still today typical mass finishing processes such
as deburring, edge breaking/radiusing,
smoothing & polishing, cleaning & degreasing,
etc., can be a highly labour intensive and costly
process. Traditionally using mechanised
barrels the work is strenuous, the equipment
and surrounding area dirty and separate drying
units are required, occupying considerable
valuable floor space that could be used for other
more profitable manufacturing activities. The
minimisation of manual parts handling, a better
control of the overall finishing process and
batch integrity, i.e. no mixing of different types
of parts, are just a few of the technical
requirements why many customers are
choosing the Rősler all-in-one integrated WTA
washing and drying system. This system was
specifically developed for part-on-part
processing where degreasing, deburring and
drying can all be carried out in a single machine.
The “wet” degreasing and finishing process,
with the addition of water and compound, and
the subsequent drying process take place in the
same machine. The various process stages can
be controlled with a PLC to ensure process
consistency with every batch. Besides a higher
degree of automation, less manual parts
handling, etc., the WTA system offers another
major advantage whereby it can be run in flowthrough
mode as well as with high water level
in the processing bowl. This reduces processing
times, yields cleaner parts, and improves their
cleanliness and finish.
The finished parts are dried with hot
air and without the addition of any
drying media to ensure that no
residual water stains remain on the
parts surface. The energy saving
hot air suction system results in
amazingly short drying times.
Even cup-shaped parts can be
dried quickly and free
of water stains.
WTA systems are
available as rotary
vibrators for larger
batches of parts as
well as centrifugal
disk finishing systems
for smaller, but shorter
cycle times to suit all
requirements. Both machine types allow the
complete unloading of a batch of finished parts
to take place either by tilting the work bowl or
by activating an unload gate in the bottom of
the work bowl.
