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

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

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

GERMAN CHANCELLOR MERKEL, HAND IN HAND<br />
WITH THE ROBOTS OF TOMORROW<br />
Collaborating with robots and controlling them with gestures? German<br />
chancellor Angela Merkel experienced first-hand how this can be<br />
achieved in her opening day tour at the Hannover Messe <strong>2018</strong> during an<br />
impressive live demonstration.<br />
At the IBG Automation booth, Angela Merkel and the Mexican<br />
President Enrique Peña Nieto and his wife Angélica Rivera, got up close<br />
and in person with the robotic hands from SCHUNK. Both 5-finger hands<br />
of the competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology<br />
are the world's first robotic grippers that have been certified and<br />
approved for collaborative use by the German Social Accident Insurance<br />
(DGUV).<br />
Behind the playful exterior lies real technology: In industrial and<br />
service robotics applications of the future, it will be possible to control,<br />
configure and interact with robots only by using gestures, and without any<br />
knowledge of programming. The automation specialist IBG Automation<br />
has developed an application that does just that. The robot is controlled by<br />
gestures or speech and calculates its movement in real time. Using a 3D<br />
camera, the system is able to follow the hand and<br />
arm movements of the user and imitate them 1:1.<br />
The movements of the robot are mainly<br />
dictated by the hands of the user. This<br />
technology will make working next to robots<br />
possible, hand in hand in the future. For<br />
assembly tasks, for example, parts will be able<br />
to be directly transferred into or out of the<br />
robot's hands. "NXT LEVEL human/robot<br />
collaboration" can be used anywhere that there<br />
is a great deal of manual work necessary and<br />
where there are high requirements on quality.<br />
For the first time ever, it is making complete<br />
cooperation between humans and robots<br />
possible without any separation in time or<br />
space. The user is not bound to a terminal, but<br />
can move around freely and control the robot,<br />
The installation of a new Hartford Infinity twincolumn<br />
vertical machining centre has not only<br />
provided Steel Dynamics UK with the enlarged<br />
capability and capacity that it needed, but the<br />
machine is also producing cycle time reductions<br />
of at least 30 per cent compared with previous<br />
routines.<br />
“And with improved fixturing methods plus<br />
enhancements to the tooling being used, we<br />
fully expect to further improve on those<br />
machining time savings in the near future,”<br />
according to the Blackburn-based company’s<br />
the entire automated system or individual<br />
functions via a smartphone or smartwatch,<br />
adjusting parameters and retrieving<br />
information during maintenance or conversion<br />
processes. The system integrates the human<br />
workplace and innovative robot technology<br />
into a shared and future-oriented collaborative<br />
environment.<br />
The mechatronic SCHUNK SVH gripping<br />
hand designed for applications in assistance<br />
and service robotics is staggeringly similar to its<br />
human counterpart in terms of size, shape and<br />
mobility. Its five fingers can carry out all kinds<br />
of gripping operations with the help of a total of<br />
nine drives. Elastic surfaces on the front<br />
phalanxes ensure a reliable hold on the objects<br />
NEW HARTFORD DOUBLE-COLUMN VMC MAKES A<br />
DYNAMIC IMPRESSION IN BLACKBURN<br />
operations director Andy Berry.<br />
Supplied by T W Ward CNC <strong>Machinery</strong><br />
(Ward CNC), Hartford’s exclusive agent in the<br />
UK and Ireland, the Infinity HSA420 has X, Y<br />
and Z axes travels of 4,000 mm by 2,000 mm by<br />
1,000 mm and, capable of accommodating<br />
workpieces weighing 12, 000 kgs, the machine is<br />
out-performing Steel Dynamic UK’s two<br />
existing, older vertical machining centres for<br />
both speed and capability, says Mr Berry.<br />
“It’s the largest machine we’ve ever<br />
installed,” he continues, “and while so far it has<br />
largely been used on a relatively<br />
new nuclear-based contract –<br />
involving predominantly milling<br />
operations on prismatic stainless<br />
steel workpieces – it has perfectly<br />
complemented our existing<br />
manufacturing capabilities based<br />
around ISO 9001: 2008<br />
accreditation. These include water<br />
jet, plasma and laser cutting, as<br />
well as radial arm drilling and<br />
vertical boring to 1,350 mm<br />
diameter.”<br />
Steel Dynamics UK is an<br />
established supplier of a wide<br />
range of components to customers<br />
being gripped. Because the hand can perform<br />
and imitate numerous gestures, the visual<br />
communication between humans and the<br />
service robot has become significantly easier.<br />
This simplifies programming and promotes a<br />
sense of acceptance for robots in the human<br />
environment. The hand is designed in such a<br />
way that a person is not injured during their<br />
daily interactions. The open and closed-loop<br />
control electronics as well as the power<br />
electronics are fully integrated in the wrist,<br />
meaning that particularly compact solutions<br />
can be achieved.<br />

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

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

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

and qualifies individuals to undertake<br />
annual inspections of oxyacetylene/propane<br />
equipment as required by<br />
BCGA CP7 (British Compressed Gases<br />
Association Code of Practice 7).<br />
Under this scheme, successful completion<br />
of the two-day course and QCF Qualification<br />
provides a three-year Gas Safety Passport for<br />
inspecting gas equipment. The credit cardsized<br />
Gas Safety Passport shows the<br />
Accredited Inspector’s photograph, the date<br />
on which the course was taken and the date<br />
on which re-certification is required. This is<br />
particularly useful when registered<br />
inspectors are working on customers’ sites<br />
and need to present evidence of their<br />
qualification.<br />
The two-day Inspector course includes<br />
classroom training, practical demonstrations<br />
and hands-on sessions. Multiple-choice tests<br />
are conducted throughout the course and<br />
there is a formal exam at the end that<br />
candidates must pass to be awarded their<br />
certificate.<br />
There will no longer be a requirement for<br />
annual refresher training as re-certification<br />
will take place on 3-yearly cycle. e.g. <strong>2018</strong> 2<br />
day training; 2021 -1 day refresher; 2024 -2<br />
day refresher; 2027 - 1 day refresher.<br />
PGS Gas Safety Passport holders are<br />
given comprehensive technical support and<br />
unlimited access to downloadable<br />
documentation from PGS website.<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

current and future challenges with greater<br />
flexibility, improved machining accuracy and<br />
reduced operational costs.<br />
The machines provide customers with<br />
Econowatt technology to save energy, a variety<br />
of Industry 4.0-oriented connectivity features to<br />
help support manufacturers’ digital<br />
transformation, and e-Tracking software for<br />
EDM process monitoring and full traceability.<br />
From faster rib machining to micromachining,<br />
the Agie Charmilles FORM family is<br />
the outcome of GF Machining Solutions’<br />
continued investment in advanced DSEDM<br />

Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal has extended<br />
its highly successful WFX-Type Wave Mill<br />
screw-locking shoulder milling cutter range<br />
using the proven economic advantageous series<br />
of four corner inserts into the WFXH, a high feed<br />
rate multi-purpose roughing, and the WFXC<br />
chamfering-type bodies.<br />
By maintaining the use of existing inserts in<br />
the WFX Series, tool management and stock<br />
holding of inserts becomes more economic<br />
extending their use to a wider range of<br />
applications. The combination of the existing<br />
inserts and new cutter bodies offer high stability<br />
and are able to create optimal levels<br />
of axial run-out within 0.03 mm on<br />
materials including steel and exotic<br />
alloys, stainless and die steels, cast<br />
iron and non-ferrous materials.<br />
The original WFX Wave Mill<br />
high precision cutters were<br />
developed to provide optimised<br />
squareness up to 90 deg shoulders.<br />
For depths-of-cut up to 10 mm, the<br />
cost-efficient four corner insert with<br />
the high performance Sumitomo<br />
developed ACE-Coat Super ZX<br />
multi-layer PVD coating, in-cut life<br />
was some 1.5 times greater than<br />
conventional inserts.<br />
This high productivity return is also due to<br />
the precision machined seating in the body and<br />
controlled insert manufacture to enable high<br />
orders of shoulder squareness on the milled<br />
component which is also achieved with excellent<br />
levels of surface finish.<br />
The result is that AgieCharmilles FORM<br />
series users are able to achieve better<br />
performance in machining with either graphite<br />
and/or copper electrodes.<br />
The FORM series allows for repeatable<br />
machining of micro-cavities and the machines’<br />
onboard ‘iGAP’ technology guarantees the<br />
rigidity of plastic, injection-moulded end<br />
products with deep, plastic-reinforced ribs. It<br />
also ensures fast, accurate machining of rib<br />
cavities with respect to the required demoulding<br />
taper and VDI homogeneity<br />
throughout the cavity surface.<br />

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

24 <strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>World</strong>, <strong>July</strong> <strong>2018</strong>
The largest British manufacturer of<br />
Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tooling,<br />
Exactaform, recently moved into its purposebuilt<br />
business facility. From this new site the<br />
company designs, develops and produces<br />
world-class cutting tools for aerospace,<br />
automotive and motorsports as well as<br />
precision engineering applications.<br />
CUTTING TOOLS<br />
EXACTAFORM INVESTMENT LEADS<br />
TO A SPARKLING PERFORMANCE<br />
When John Inglis started his fledgling<br />
company back in 1979 it was trading as a<br />
supplier of Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD)<br />
and Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) inserts,<br />
primarily to suit the automotive sector.<br />
However, as modern materials evolved,<br />
Exactaform Cutting Tools changed its focus<br />
and has since become one of the largest<br />
premier manufacturers of PCD cutting tools in<br />
the Europe, supplying global aerospace and<br />
automotive markets.<br />
Until recently Exactaform operated from<br />
multi-unit facilities in Coventry to provide<br />
technically advanced cutting tool solutions for<br />
its customers’ non-ferrous applications. As<br />
John Inglis recalls: “We continually re-invest<br />
in plant, machinery and engineers, to support<br />
the growing global demand for our tooling,<br />
and with 30 per cent year-on-year growth over<br />
the past few years we knew we would exceed<br />
the limits of our previous facilities. So, at the<br />
end of 2015 we acquired this site. Following<br />
the due planning process and architectural<br />
designs honed to meet our exact requirements,<br />
we moved in within a three-week period<br />
during August 2017.”<br />
cent delivery of cutting tools to our<br />
customers,” states Peter Raynor.<br />
Two new machine tools were also added to<br />
the extensive list during the move, a DMG<br />
Mori Lasertec and a Rollomatic ShapeSmart<br />
NP3. The Lasertec machine increases the<br />
workshop’s efficiency when cutting PCD<br />
blanks, as John Inglis says: “An operation that<br />
previously took several hours using wire EDM<br />
can now be carried out in just 20 minutes.”<br />
Over 60 highly skilled staff, from tool and<br />
cutter grinders to experienced applications<br />
engineers, support Exactaform’s customer<br />
base. “We focus on diamond tooling for exotic<br />
materials, supplying demanding markets with<br />
New Exactaform Facility in Coventry<br />
machining fibre reinforced composites,<br />
aluminium and composite stacks,” explains<br />
Jamie White.<br />
He continues: “Our growth provides<br />
customers with big company quality, but we<br />
maintain our small company care. This means<br />
customers can ring me, and get an answer<br />
from me. Even though we are busy we value<br />
and place importance on human interaction<br />
and trust.”<br />
Able to design and produce plain and chip<br />
breaking cutting tools between 2 mm and 300<br />
mm diameter, at an infinite number of<br />
increments between, most of the machine tools<br />
on the shopfloor feature automated loading<br />
Today, Exactaform operates from 22,000 ft2 of<br />
the new 44,000 ft2 facility. The remaining<br />
space has been built ready for planned future<br />
growth, but will be let out on a short-term<br />
business lease in the meantime. The detailed<br />
planning required to move all the multi-axis<br />
CNC tool and cutter grinding machines and<br />
ancillary equipment was significant, and the<br />
task was jointly addressed by directors Peter<br />
Raynor and Jamie White.<br />
“We had to plan and produce cutting tools in<br />
advance, to cover the period of time that each<br />
machine would be in-transit and<br />
recommissioned at the new site. Careful<br />
preparation and hard work by everyone<br />
involved resulted in us achieving a 100 per<br />
high precision, high speed machining<br />
requirements. Our PCD tooling has been<br />
proven a highly desirable solution to<br />
and unloading. Peter Raynor says: “Batch<br />
sizes vary, but we can multi load our Walter,<br />
Vollmer and Rollomatic machines to keep<br />
them running around-the-clock, even over the<br />
weekend. It keeps the cost down for the<br />
customer and allows us to meet very tight<br />
delivery timescales.”<br />
As well as new PCD tooling the company also<br />
offers a cost-effective refurbishment service<br />
for its own and competitors tools. Re-tipped<br />
and refurbished tools can also be turned<br />
around quicker if the customer needs a<br />
specific tool back quickly, and it allows<br />
customers to extend the life expectancy of<br />
their investment.<br />

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

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

FICEP UK – EXCLUSIVE UK AGENTS FOR COSTA<br />
These high quality machines have an unrivalled reputation for<br />
reliability and performance for the deburring of plasma/oxi fuel<br />
/laser cut parts, the grinding of all flat, ferrous and non-ferrous metal<br />
parts to a desired quote - and the polishing of large metal surfaces to<br />
provide the finest finishing available with a complete absence of<br />
chatter marks.<br />
When there is a mix of materials or a different finish is required<br />
Costa machines have a unique patented LOCK system which<br />
provides total flexibility, reduced downtime between changeover of<br />
brushes and easier maintenance.<br />
Depending on the edge radius required, vertical or orbital type<br />
brushes can be used, either individually or in multiple groups to<br />
ensure the required finish is achieved on the the top or the top and<br />
bottom sides of the component in one pass.<br />
arts up to more than 400mm thick, and more than 3000mm wide<br />
can be processed and the polishing systems have a feeding speed of<br />
up to 50mt/min. It makes these machines the ideal solution for<br />
removal of slag, burrs and oxide even when the parts are warped or<br />
uneven.<br />
When polishing wide stainless steel sheets the quality of the<br />
surface finish remains consistent until belt life end as the machines<br />
automatically compensate for wear of the belts. This is possible<br />
thanks to the machine’s inbuilt PLC which extends the life of the<br />
consumables which further reduces processing costs.<br />
All machines in the Costa range exceed CE and OSHA approval,<br />
with noise reduction systems and special devices to protect operators<br />
and also prevent parts from getting damaged. Not only do the<br />
machines eliminate dangerous and time-consuming manual grinding<br />
work but they also massively increase productivity and reduce<br />
production costs.<br />
Costa is now setting the new benchmark for automatic deburring<br />
machines - available exclusively from FICEP UK.<br />

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

now offer FPI systems with advanced<br />
process control that ensures repeatability,<br />
process safety and traceability of each batch<br />
within the set parameters.Designed and built<br />
by renowned ultrasonic cleaning machine<br />
manufacturers, FinnSonic Oy, the systems<br />
meet the ASTM E1417 FPI standard common<br />
to both the aerospace and medical industries.<br />
Kemet offer a range of standard systems as<br />
well as the flexibility to combine automated<br />
and manual operation to provide<br />
streamlined, maintainable NDT inspection,<br />
with integrated waste water handling and<br />
extraction systems as options, to generate<br />
cost savings on process chemicals, labour<br />

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