THE NEXT GENERATION
IN-COMM TRAINING CHOSEN TO HELP DELIVER NEW
APPRENTICESHIP LEVY TRANSFER FUND
In-Comm Training has been named as one of
the training providers for a new skills fund
launched by the West Midlands Combined
Authority (WMCA).
The Aldridge-based firm, which operates
three technical academies in the Black
Country and Shropshire, will be galvanising
SMEs and larger firms to make the most of
unspent Levy money currently available in
the region.
The aim is to encourage employers to take
on more young people in advanced
manufacturing, digital skills and STEMrelated
apprenticeships as the area looks to
cement its position as a global leader in
engineering.
In-Comm Training’s employer-led
approach to skills was one of the main
reasons it has been chosen, with its team of
expert advisers and trainers now responsible
for supporting potential users of the fund to
meet the criteria and recruit the right young
people.
Bekki Phillips, Managing Director at In-
Comm Training, commented: “Any new
programme that encourages greater
adoption of vocational learning is welcomed,
especially one that specifically targets STEM
courses.
“We have to raise the region’s
productivity and using unspent Levy money
to offer apprenticeships to 16-18 year-olds is
a great, long-term way of ensuring we are
growing our workforces of the future.”
She continued: “More than 146 standards
are available, covering science, technology,
engineering, manufacturing, construction
and digital - all the skills we are going to
need if we are going to exploit the UK’s
strengths.
“The new fund will essentially remove
the 5% fee that SMEs normally have to pay to
take on an apprentice, making it easier to
invest in young people.”
The West Midlands Combined Authority
covers a population of 4.2 million across
Greater Birmingham and Solihull, the Black
Country, Coventry and Warwickshire and
the Marches LEPs.
In-Comm Training’s proven track record
in delivering apprenticeships, combined
with a £7m investment in its three academies
in Aldridge, Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury, has
given it the perfect platform to be a crucial
partner to the Apprenticeship Levy Transfer
Fund.

THE NEXT GENERATION
THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE INSPIRED BY
SCIENCE THANKS TO PIONEERING ENGINEERING FIRM
MORE than 7,500 young people are being
inspired by science over the next two weeks
thanks to a forward-thinking engineering
company.
Children are being treated to the London
Science Museum’s “Out Of This World” show
taking place in Cumbria in an action-packed
fortnight of events.
The shows, which started on September 23,
are organised by the REACT Foundation which
was created by REACT Engineering in 2004, with
the objective of raising the aspirations of young
people and inspiring the next generation of
scientists and engineers.
Celebrating its 15th anniversary this year,
The REACT Foundation now offers bursaries to
Year 11 and sixth form students who are going
on to study STEM subjects at college or
university.
The Foundation held its first science show
back in 2006 when TV science celebrity Jonny
Ball - father of radio star Zoe Ball - presented a
science show to 120 lucky primary
schoolchildren.
After delighted teachers and children asked if
it could be repeated, the annual REACT
Foundation Science and Engineering Days have
grown to such an extent that they now take place
over a fully-booked fortnight across west
Cumbria with more than 84,000 students taking
part since the first show.
Irene McMillan, of REACT Engineering, said:
“The children absolutely love the shows. They
get booked up straight away by the schools. They
are an integral part of the school calendar now.
“Expect bangs, wallops, rocket launches,
plenty of entertainment and excitement,” said
Irene.
“We did have one negative comment one
year….we were told that the kids got too
excited!”
As well as going into secondary schools
across the area the main primary event takes
place over two days at Lakes College, Lillyhall,
Workington on September 24 and 25 with more
than 2,000 primary schoolchildren attending.
This year they will have a special visit to St
Patrick’s School Cleator Moor where Montreal
School students will join them for an explosive
show.
A four-strong team - Ronan Bullock, Anais
Radiere, Ted Hill and Kate Hunter - from the
Science Museum in London, lead the shows and
a series of special workshops during the
fortnight.
Secondary school students from Whitehaven
Academy, Nelson Thomlinson School in Wigton,
and Netherhall School in Maryport will all take
part in a special Water Transport challenge to try
to transport water without using buckets.
The Reactioneers, a group of 16 primary
schoolchildren who meet at REACT’s offices at
Cleator Moor on Tuesday evenings in term times
in sessions manned by volunteers from REACT’s
own team, will enjoy their own Slime Time
Students enjoying the REACT Foundation Science and Engineering Days in previous years.
workshop on September 24. Children with
special needs who attend Mayfield School at
Whitehaven will also enjoy their own Slime Time
workshop with the Science Museum team on
October 1.
The final show of this year’s run takes place
at Millom School on October 4, when children
from Millom School’s feeder primaries will join
their own students at the action packed shows.
The REACT Foundation science shows are
sponsored by E.ON and the University of
Cumbria, with the latter also now spreading the
initiative to schools in Carlisle.
Pete Woolaghan, chair of the REACT
Foundation, said: “The science shows are the
best two weeks of the year - concentrated energy
and excitement from start to finish.
“It’s wonderful to have the University of
Cumbria on board again this year alongside our
longstanding supporters E.ON who run the
Robin Rigg windfarm in the Solway. They have
been tremendous supporters over the years.
“This year’s shows from the Science Museum
have a space related theme to mark the 50th
anniversary of the moon landing and build on
our Space Day event earlier in the year to
celebrate REACT’s 25th anniversary. The shows
are new so I’m really looking forward to the
experience.”
Phil Redfern, managing director of REACT,
said: “It’s wonderful to see the reaction of the
young people to these shows. We hope many are
inspired and excited to find out more about
science.
“Whether when they leave school or
university, they end up travelling the globe or
staying closer to home we hope it opens their
eyes to some of the amazing careers they can
have with science, some with world-leading
innovative businesses right here on their
doorstep.
“It is very rewarding to see the impact and
difference the shows can make to young people’s
attitudes and thinking towards science and
engineering.
“We are passionate about giving young
people the very best opportunities, and are
committed to continuing to build our own
company around the ideas and skills that young
people bring to our business, as well as
supporting initiatives which help the
community.
“It’s amazing, and hugely satisfying to
witness how the charity has grown from 15 years
ago when the REACT Foundation was first set
up to mark the company’s 10th anniversary, and
how now, with REACT Engineering marking its
25th anniversary this year, the science shows
continue to develop and inspire a whole new
generation.
“Credit goes to all the volunteers at REACT,
the fantastic team from the Science Museum in
London, and to the event sponsors for making
the shows bigger and better every year.”

UK PARTNERS FOR GERMAN STURMER GROUP

THE NEXT GENERATION
adi SHAPES FUTURE ENGINEERING CAREERS WITH
ITS FOURTH INTAKE OF PRE-APPRENTICES
A major Birmingham-based engineering firm
has welcomed a fourth intake of young
students on to its pioneering preapprenticeship
scheme.
The 12 pupils, aged fourteen (year 10),
will learn hands-on engineering skills as part
of a successful programme which has seen
nearly 50 students take part since its
introduction in 2016.
The adi Group, based at Kings Norton,
has made significant strides to help tackle
the UK’s skills crisis, already exceeding its
own commitment to having five per cent of
its workforce made up of apprentices by
2020.
In total, nine graduates from its unique
pre-apprenticeship scheme have gone on to
become full-time apprentices at the firm, who
boast a diverse group portfolio that includes
specialisms such as electrical, mechanical,
automation, climate & compressor systems to
name a few.
Commenting on the new intake and
success of the scheme so far, adi Group
strategic account director, James Sopwith,
said: “We’re all incredibly proud of the preapprenticeship
programme here at adi.
“This is something that was the first of its
kind to launch in the UK, and to date we’ve
had some huge successes.
“Not only has it been a launchpad for
nearly 50 students to begin their careers in
engineering at adi, but it is also a fantastic
template for other schools and employers
from right across the region to replicate its
success.
“Engineering continues to be a viable and
in-demand profession, so we’re looking
forward to seeing what else we can achieve
over the next few years with this pioneering
initiative.”
For one afternoon a week for two years,
students get the chance to earn an EAL
accredited qualification through the preapprentice
scheme, which sees the
youngsters undertake a variety of skills such
as fabrication, welding and control panel
assembly.
The programme is run in partnership
with North Bromsgrove High School and
was launched back in 2016 by Birmingham
Northfield MP Richard Burden.
Commenting on the value of the scheme,
North Bromsgrove headteacher Nick Gibson
said: “The pre-apprentice programme gives
our students incredible motivation and really
is the jewel in our offering.
“It has allowed our students to flourish,
igniting their passions and in turn helping to
play a part in developing the next generation
of UK engineers.”
Earlier this year, one of the preapprenticeship
scheme success stories, Abbie
Beaver, was selected for the prestigious
WES50 – a list by the renowned Women’s
Engineering Society, that celebrates the top
50 women engineers in the UK.
In total, 10 female students like Abbie
have enrolled on adi’s programme since it
began, helping to challenge perceptions over
gender stereotypes in the industry.
“An adi apprenticeship helps young
people discover their drive, passion and
enthusiasm in the workplace, regardless of
their gender,” added James.
“These are students that are learning core
engineering skills in a real working
environment, and from a vitally young age.
“Of course, we hope that all 12 of this
year’s intake will become full-time engineers
at adi or another business in time, but I’ve no
doubt that whatever they intend to do postapprenticeship,
they will become a valuable
proposition to any employer across the
region and beyond.”
The adi Group is a multi-disciplined
engineering firm with over 30 specialist
sectors serving household names across the
UK & Ireland.

ETG CELEBRATES 25TH BIRTHDAY WITH SHOWCASE
OF THE LATEST MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
The UK’s leading machine tool supplier
celebrated its 25th birthday in style last week,
when it showcased its latest manufacturing
technologies.
Engineering Technology Group (ETG),
which recently acquired HK Technologies,
threw open the doors of its Wellesbourne
Headquarters to give over 450 industry
delegates the latest insight into the world of
turnkey solutions, with two new product
launches, a UK debut for the Nakamura
MX100 and an in-depth look at the latest
additive manufacturing and wire EDM
machines.
Orders for four new CNC machines were
taken during the two-day event, which was
used to celebrate the firm’s milestone
birthday and to reinforce the growing
demand for ‘lights-out’ manufacturing,
automation and machine tools that offer
world class precision and increased
flexibility.
Sub-contract manufacturers involved in
automotive, aerospace, medical and
renewables were interested in the new
Quaser UX500 twin pallet machine (with 15k
to 24k rpm spindle), the dynamic 5-axis
simultaneous machining power of the bavius
TR80 Machining Centre and the compact
footprint and powerful performance of the
Chiron DZ15 machining cell.
Reinforcing the turnkey excellence focus,
there was also Hyfore workholding,
Filtermist oil filters, Blum-Novotest laser
measuring systems, a Robojob Turnassist
and the latest robot from ABB present.
Martin Doyle, Managing Director of the
Engineering Technology Group, commented:
“We wanted to make a big statement for our
25th and I believe we’ve achieved this,
bringing the latest machine tools, automation
and additive manufacturing technology to
the UK.
“Our customers are telling us they want
more ‘lights-out manufacturing’, machines
that take up a smaller footprint and twin
pallet capability so they can work quicker
and smarter.”
He continued: “Yes, there’s a bit of
uncertainty out there, but firms recognise the
need to stay ahead of the rest of the world
when it comes to technology. By investing in
new solutions that we can bespoke to their
requirements, they can reduce cycle times,
improve lead times and look at taking on
increasingly complex components.”
“We have to aim to be an extension to
their production team and this is our focus
going forward.
“It was also great to see so many of our
technical partners exhibiting their own
unique products and services, including
Hydrafeed, Ceratizit, Bott and Jemtech.”
Industrial Revolution
The ETG Open House gave the company the
ideal opportunity to introduce its new
business HK Technologies to the market,
with technical experts on hand to talk
through Balance Systems, the Mitsubishi
Wire EDM MV12000, Markforged’s MetalX
metal printer and X7 Desktop Series for
composite printing and 3D Systems’ ProJet
MJP 2500 plus that provides bespoke parts
and industry-leading attention to detail.
Gareth Jones, the new Managing Director
at HK, used the event to promote the
importance of educating industry to the true
benefits of additive manufacturing and why
more companies - both large and small - need
to see it as a way of delivering prototypes
and low/medium volume production.
He also highlighted how additive
technology fits into the ETG and Hyfore
portfolio, offering manufacturers quick
turnarounds for bespoke workholding, jigs,
fixtures, soft jaws and robot grippers.
“When 3D printing first burst onto the
scene, the sector got caught in the trap of
making it too mainstream for domestic users,
encouraging a scenario where we’d all own a
printer at home and we’d start making our
own mugs for example,” explained Gareth.
“That’s not the reality. Instead, it needs to
be seen as a next generation production
technology, capable of producing repeatable
quality, quickly and cost effectively. We’ve
got a major task on our hands to get this
message across and, one of our main aims for
the future, is getting the technology out there
and firms using it.”
He concluded: “There are a lot of new
materials being developed and released to
support changing industrial applications, not
to mention the implementation of easy-touse
software. These factors – combined with
the new technology and our internal
technical experts – are helping us deliver
tangible, bottom line results to our
customers. It’s an opportunity the sector
needs to make more of.”

ALUCAST TARGETS NEW AUTOMOTIVE OPPORTUNITIES WITH
£2.25MILLION MACHINE SHOP AND CASTING INVESTMENT
A Black Country manufacturing specialist
has pushed aside the uncertainty of Brexit to
complete a major £2.25million investment
drive.
Alucast has upgraded its casting
capability and opened a new 7,000 sq ft
machine shop to support the growing
demand of its automotive customer base for
lightweight, complex components.
The UK’s leading independent
aluminium foundry can now call upon 20
CNC machines at any one time, with five of
those 5-axis, providing bed sides ranging
from 400mm to 630mm.
This latest equipment, which has been
supplied by the Engineering Technology
Group (ETG), has given it the speed and
precision necessary to meet just-in-time
delivery requirements of existing and future
orders.
The investment will also deliver a 30%
increase in capacity to take on up to £3m of
new projects, not to mention the ability to
reduce lead times and achieve even greater
repeatable quality.
Supported by Sandwell Metropolitan
Borough Council, Black Country LEP and the
Black Country Growth Deal, the machine
shop was officially opened by Aston Martin
Lagonda’s Independent Non-Executive
Director Lord Carrington and Lord Whitby
from Made in the Midlands, with staff,
suppliers, partners and customers in
attendance.
Tony Sartorius, Chairman of Alucast,
commented: “Whilst there are a lot of
challenges to overcome in the current
automotive sector, there are also still many
opportunities for suppliers who can build
strategic partnerships with their customers,
helping them to design, develop and
manufacture the lightweight parts of the
future.
“This is what we have been able to do
with Aston Martin and a number of other
luxury automotive producers and, in order to
meet increases in volumes, we have
Alucast Machine Shop Tour Opening (L): (l-r) Lord Carrington opens the new machine shop

completed our own sizable investment in
creating a world class machine shop.”
He went on to add: “What it gives us is
complete control of the machining process so
that we can cast the part and machine it to the
highest possible standard. Twenty-four
people will be employed in this area,
including operatives, supervisory staff and
an apprentice, with more jobs set to follow
shortly.”
Alucast will use the additional capacity to
provide thin-walled lightweight castings for
Aston Martin in South Wales, as well as new
components for Lotus and low-pressure
work for Morgan.
The new lightweight contracts should see
the business work towards £8.5m sales, with
automotive clients joined by a raft of
customers in agriculture, hydraulics and the
oil and gas industry.
John Swift, Managing Director at Alucast,
continued: “It would be quite easy for us to
let the uncertainty rule our decisions, but that
would be a mistake and mean we lose
ground on our international rivals.
“The £2.25m we’ve invested in the new
machine shop, associated R&D projects and
casting facilities is absolutely vital to keeping
us at the forefront of the supply chain and in
a solid position to continue to grow our base
in the Black Country.
“We have to be proactive in supporting
our clients with their ambitious expansion
plans and this investment does just that.”
Lord Carrington added: “I was delighted
to see first-hand the investment Alucast has
put into its business to support Aston Martin
and other automotive customers. It’s a
perfect example of how the supply chain can
work with car makers to get ahead of the
latest technologies and help deliver lighter
and more efficient vehicles.”
Alucast is part of the Manufacturing
Assembly Network, an eight-strong group of
sub-contract manufacturers and an
engineering design agency who work
together to win orders and share best practice
and resource.
The collective, which enjoys more than
£150m sales and employs over 1600 people,
can offer every engineering discipline
imaginable, including automation and
control systems, forging, plastic injection
moulding, PCB development, precision
machining, high-volume pressings and
welded assemblies.
Its membership also includes Barkley
Plastics, Brandauer, C-MAC SMT, Grove
Design, Kimbermills International, Muller
Holdings, PP Control & Automation and
Ricor.

FINISHING ON A
HIGH NOTE
With so much added value already invested in
a component, the last thing any engineer needs
is to scrap parts due to poorly performed
grinding operations. One of the most popular
ways of avoiding this undesirable situation is to
invest in the latest grinding machine
technologies, which is exactly the case at
Huddersfield-based Meltham Carbide
Precision. The company has become one of the
latest to install a Rollomatic CNC peel-grinding
machine, which is available in the UK from
Advanced Grinding Solutions.
Meltham, which was founded in 1976, and is
owned and managed by Eric Charlesworth, is a
specialist manufacturer of plug gauges and
components such as punches, mould and core
pins, and blank carbide rods for the cutting-tool
industry.
Eric Charlesworth had been aware of
Rollomatic tool grinders for some time, and had
identified a need for grinding his parts to a
higher precision and reducing manufacturing
times.
Having received a demonstration of a
Rollomatic machine, Meltham was attracted to
its pinch and peel method, which ensures that
the grinding operation is always performed
immediately adjacent to where the component
is supported. This capability allows parts
featuring very large length-to-diameter ratios to
be machined easily, with component lengths up
to 400 times diameter being ground without
deflection issues and with diameters controlled
to under 0.002mm.
Just one example of how the machine has
improved efficiency is in manufacturing a set of
10 carbide punches of 6.35mm diameter by
110mm long with a point, radius and three
different diameters, to 5µm tolerances.
“This would have taken us a full day to
manufacture previously, but now, on the
Rollomatic we need just 15 minutes to set up
and around 2 hours to grind,” says Eric
Charlesworth. “The surface finish is also much
better, while the lengths and diameters are all
well within tolerance.”
Elsewhere, a leading European producer of
helical and spur-tooth pinion gears, has selected
a GTG2 gear-grinding centre from Holroyd
Precision to test-grind a range of specialised
gears and tooth forms. Developed purposely for
grinding precision spur and helical gears,
worms, screws, and rotors of up to 350mm
diameter and 160mm gear face width, Holroyd
GTG2 grinding centres use what is described as
a unique machining system to achieve accuracy
to DIN 2 levels and beyond.
Steven Benn, Holroyd’s regional sales
director, says: “The GTG2 was selected for its
versatility, reliability and accuracy – the latter
achieved through high levels of on-board
machine intelligence and a machining process
developed to compensate for helical twist.”
Helical twist occurs when helical gears are
‘lead crowned’ to improve meshing and reduce
noise and wear. Lead crowning varies the
GRINDING & FINISHING
amount of material removed from the flank of a
tooth, across the face width, by causing the tool
motion to deviate from a true helix. The
problem is that ‘in-form’ grinding has the
undesirable effect of causing the profile of the
tooth flank to vary across the face. Particularly
in high precision and low-noise applications,
this variation affects gear-wheel performance
by concentrating loads on particular areas of
teeth during meshing.
GTG2 machines correct this problem by
calculating and controlling additional motions
of the wheel during the grinding operation.
Dedicated surface finishing solutions are
also proving popular across industry, as
evidenced by a new stream-finishing machine
featuring OTEC patented pulse-drive
technology ‘Pulsfinish’ at Bury-based Fintek.
Fintek operations manager Jamie Phillips
says: “The difference Pulsfinish makes to mass
finishing is substantial. Pulse finishing
produces rapid relative motion between the
media and workpiece by quickly changing the
rotational direction of the workholding heads in
a programmed and controlled way. High
acceleration and deceleration increase the
finishing forces exerted on the workpiece,
making it possible to accurately and evenly
deburr round and smooth surfaces from Rpk
0.2µm to 0.1µm, in under a minute.”
Demand also remains high for tool and
cutter grinding solutions. A case in point can be
seen at Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC),
which recently took delivery of an MX7 Linear
grinding centre from Anca. The MX7 Linear is
the fourth Anca grinding centre acquired by
ITC and the fifth such machine to arrive since
the company extended its manufacturing
facility by over 50% in 2016.
Able to process tools up to 300 mm long,
with diameters up to 200 mm, the MX7 Linear
uses Anca LinX linear motors and scales. With
respect to productivity, the latest arrival at ITC
incorporates Anca’s FastLoad-MX automation
system. The FastLoad-MX uses existing
machine axes to ensure a compact design with a
small footprint. Loader movements are kept
simple, allowing ITC to undertake the grinding
of tools in small batch sizes.
New innovations in the tool grinder
segment include the Vollmer VHybrid 360
grinding and erosion machine, which can be
used to produce solid carbide and PCD cutting
tools in a single set up. VHybrid 360 is based on
multi-layer machining, which is implemented
through two vertically arranged spindles. The
bottom spindle can be used for both grinding
and eroding, while the top spindle is reserved
exclusively for grinding.
From a blasting perspective, Guyson
International has created a universal automated
blast system that is based on the company’s
existing Multiblast RSB. The latest system
incorporates roof-mounted servo drives to
provide saturation coverage from the attached
blast guns across the entire rotating table, thus
delivering full blast coverage to all components.
An interesting honing development has seen
Applied Nano Surfaces (ANS) of Sweden enter
into a joint development programme with
Sunnen that is focused on the patented ANS
‘Triboconditioning’ process, which is designed
to reduce friction and wear on a variety of
honed parts and components.
Triboconditioning is a combined
mechanical/chemical surface-treatment process
that uses a machining procedure to level off
surface peaks and apply a friction and wearreducing
compound to the component surface.
Unlike spray coatings, the compound becomes
an integrated part of the component structure at
a nano level. The process is mechanically simple
and, in most cases, can be performed with
Sunnen honing equipment.
As a final aside, Jones & Shipman Hardinge
says it now offers a rebuilding and upgrading
service for its grinding machines, including
those by sister companies in the Hardinge
Group – Kellenberger, Hauser, Voumard,
Tschudin and Usach.
“It’s a service designed to maximise the
lifespan of a machine which, while perfectly
sound in structure and capability, could benefit
from upgrading,” explains Jones & Shipman
Hardinge UK managing director Mike
Duignan. “If you take a universal Kellenberger
Varia for example, a refurbishment and
upgrade to include the latest Fanuc 0i control
with the new Kellenberger menu-based
programming software, could be as much as
25% cheaper than buying a new machine.”

PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY BOOST WITH
MAXIMILL 271 MILLING SYSTEM
The ability to achieve cost-effective, secure,
milling, with added process flexibilty is now
a reality thanks to the development of
CERATIZIT’s MaxiMill 271 indexable insert
milling system. The extremely soft-cutting
MaxiMill 271 tool system can be used for a
wide variety of applications and offers a
range of effective options to produce high
quality surface finish. Further advantages are
that the design of inserts and cutter bodies
also enhance tool life and aid effective
removal of swarf from the hot zone.
MaxiMill 271 is designed, therefore best
suited, to applications where face, slot and
chamfer milling are required. To ensure
maximum performance the cutters can be
specified with either a 45° approach angle or
as a high-speed tool with a 17° approach
angle combined with the options of fine and
coarse pitched cutter bodies to provide
maximum application flexibility. Further
extending the MaxiMIl series to meet market
expectation, CERATIZIT has added a 12 mm
insert system to the range. The advantage of
these smaller inserts is that a greater number
can be used, which in turn results in longer
PRIMA POWER SOFTWARE
RANGE RENEWED
Prima Power, one of the leading manufacturers
of 2D and 3D laser cutting systems, and of
machines and automatic manufacturing lines
for sheet metal processing - announces an
expansion of its family of software products
with the introduction of the new FASTSUITE
Prima Power Edition, a product developed by
CENIT for Prima Power. The agreement with
CENIT AG provides for the new 3D laser CAM
to be dedicated to 3D Prima Power laser
machines and distributed globally by the
Italian company.
“With this new product - explains Marco
Pivanti, Prima Power 3D Laser Product
Manager - our machines can show their full
strength. It enables our customers to set up
tool life and higher chip removal rates.
A key feature of the MaxiMill inserts is
that they have eight usable cutting edges,
making the system extremely cost-effective.
In addition, the cutting edge design delivers
a sturdy and robust interface between the
insert and material being cut, consequently
achieving high cutting speeds and the
highest levels of process security. The inserts
form part of the story with the cutter bodies
also playing an important role. As such,
extremely tight tolerances are demanded to
ensure the MaxiMill 271 milling cutters
produce the best face and concentricity
their production processes as quickly and
efficiently as possible because the software is
tailored to their requirements. Both together
offer our customers real competitive
advantages in their daily challenges.”
FASTSUITE Prima Power Edition
manages the entire offline programming
process, from importing CAD data to
optimizing the NC program. The main
strengths are the modern and very userfriendly
interface, the integration of Prima
Power powerful and accurate cycle time
simulator, and the greater simplicity of
configuration and management of licenses,
with a definitely budget-friendly cost.

MEDICAL ENGINEERING
RENISHAW’S SYSTEM SHORTLISTED
FOR HEALTHCARE AWARD
NEW KEMET IN-
LINE CLEANING
SYSTEM
Multi stage aqueous ultrasonic immersion
lines have long been the standard way of
cleaning oils and compounds from medical
implants and you will typically see these
type of lines at the end of every
manufacturing process. For heavily
contaminated parts, this means that filtration
and regular fluid with detergent changes are
needed because even with filtration and
surface skimming, the level of contaminates
soon effects the cleaning results.
For complex parts with blind threaded
holes like stems and femoral parts, there is
always the danger of trapped contamination.
This can be overcome with fixture design, but
lapping, polishing and cleaning experts,
Kemet International Ltd, along with their
partners at Finnsonic, now offer modular
spray tanks, on the Versa Genius ultrasonic
systems, to quickly remove heavy
contamination from any surface, including
hard to reach cavities and holes.
In the past, the only spray option has been
a separate spray washer, but this usually
means the parts have to be manually loaded
from one style of basket to another and then
manually transferred from the spray wash to
the ultrasonic line. With Kemet’s new
modular spray systems, the spray tank
becomes part of an automated line, taking the
same basket all the way through the process
with no additional manual handling needed
at any point.
By having a spray tank as part of the line
it also means that heavy contaminates can be
removed by spraying and then these
contaminates are collected and kept separate
from the ultrasonic tanks, improving greatly
the longevity of the filters and extending the
working life of the detergents. This
dramatically improves productivity and
reduces the day to day cost of running the
line.
Kemet have non foaming detergents
specifically for spray washing meaning they
can supply a full ultrasonic and spray wash
turnkey solution for any challenge.

A novel drug delivery system that aims to
enable pharmaceuticals to bypass the bloodbrain
barrier for the ongoing treatment of
neurological disorders and brain tumours
has been shortlisted for the TCT Healthcare
Award. Global engineering company,
Renishaw, designed and manufactured the
device, which includes a metal 3D printed
titanium port.
It has historically been difficult to treat
neurological conditions due to the bloodbrain
barrier, which acts to protect the brain
against viruses, bacteria and fungi, as it can
prevent drugs from accessing the brain. As a
result, treatments require high doses that can
lead to unwanted systemic side effects. The
neuroinfuse drug delivery system acts as a
mechanism to deliver pharmaceuticals
directly into the brain, so that new
therapeutic regimes can be developed to treat
neurological disorders, using minimal doses
for maximum effect.
The neuroinfuse chronic drug delivery
system is composed of up to four catheters,
which are implanted into a target area within
the brain. The catheters can be accessed via a
3D printed titanium transcutaneous port
implanted behind the patient’s ear. Drugfilled
infusion lines are connected using an
MRI compatible, 3D printed, titanium
application set, which repeatably locates onto
the port. Retractable needles extend through
a septum in the port to enable therapeutics in
The medical device sector is like no other in its
drive for precise and innovative products,
many by their nature being safety-critical, and
therefore having to be made to exacting
quality standards from high-performance
materials that are strong, light, and
biocompatible when implanted.
Many medical device OEMs have a
particular interest in the use of titanium, which
is notoriously challenging to manufacture
using traditional production technologies, its
strength making it time-consuming and costly
to machine, punch, press, or stamp.
Precision Micro, photochemical machining
specialist, has devoted significant resource and
investment into optimizing the process for use
on medical-grade metals such as titanium and
its alloys.
the external infusion lines to be infused
through the implanted catheters. The port
features a roughened surface below the skin
to encourage bone integration and device
anchorage, whereas above the skin, it is
polished to discourage bacterial settlement.
The device holds promise for the
treatment of a range of neurological
conditions and brain tumours. It is currently
being used in a Phase I – II clinical study with
Herantis Pharma Plc, investigating cerebral
dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF), for
the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

ISO 13485 ACCREDITED
PHOTOCHEMICAL MACHINING
Today they say it is the only European
chemical etching company that can mass
manufacture titanium parts and components
for an array of medical OEMs and
applications.
Applying chemical etching to titanium
eliminates stress- and burr-related problems
associated with alternative manufacturing
technologies, and opens up an array of
possibilities in the areas of medical implants.
Key characteristics of etched titanium parts
are the smoothness of surface and openings,
and the elimination of burrs and surface
irregularities. The process is highly repeatable
and economical, with an image of the part
effectively being printed onto the sheet metal
before being selectively etched away in a
single operation. The digital “photo”-tooling
used to print the image does not wear,
ensuring the components produced day one
are identical to components produced a
decade later.

MEDICAL ENGINEERING
NUCLEAR CHALLENGE WINS PIONEERING UK
COMPANY SECOND QUEEN’S AWARD
AN INNOVATIVE company known for
finding solutions to some of the world’s most
complex industrial challenges has been
presented with its second Queen’s Award.
Createc, which works in civil nuclear,
defence, rail, aerospace, security and medical
sectors all over the world, is in rare company
having now received two Queen’s Awards in
consecutive years.
The Cockermouth-based business, which
has expanded to employ 31 people, is the
only business in Cumbria, and one of only
four in the North-West, which holds two
different Queen’s Awards, having last year
received the award for International Trade..
Createc was presented with its latest
award - The Queen’s Award for Innovation -
at its company conference recently for
developing a 3D radiation imaging device for
mapping nuclear facilities.
The N-Visage ® system, developed by
Createc over the last 10 years, is a unique
approach to mapping radiation in the nuclear
industry that works by locating and
quantifying the cause of radiation -
radioactive contamination - rather than
simply measuring the radiation itself.
The N-Visage ® system uses concepts and
techniques inspired by the medical imaging
industry combined with new imaging
processes to enable fast and accurate threedimensional
imaging of radio-isotopes.
Medical imaging uses the principle of
tomography in which multiple
measurements from outside the body are
combined to produce an image of what is
going on inside the body.
In the nuclear industry, this logic must be
reversed as the instrument has to be
introduced inside the facility it is used to
image, rather than vice versa.
Following this 'inside out' idea to its
logical conclusion Createc discovered the
mathematics behind tomography could also
Createc’s hand-held N-Visage® Recon used
to map and quantify radioactive
environments.
Chief executive Matt Mellor receives
Createc’s Queen’s Award for Innovation,
presented by Claire Hensman, Lord
Lieutenant of Cumbria at the company’s
recent conference at the Inn on the Lake, at
Glenridding. Createc received its first
Queen's Award for International Trade last
year.
be 'turned inside out' to reveal a
mathematical principle suggesting a new
type of imaging device.
This led Createc to develop the N-Visage ®
system, a combination of software and
hardware that provides unique insights for
the managers of nuclear facilities.
Matt Mellor, chief executive of Createc,
explained the motivation for developing the
innovative technology.
“Decommissioning of our nuclear legacy
costs the UK taxpayer billions of pounds
every year. One of the primary drivers of
these costs is the constraint imposed by the
presence of radiation. We recognised that to
reduce the costs of decommissioning it was
essential to provide better data on which to
build plans and make decisions.”
The system was first developed for use at
Sellafield, the UK's largest nuclear facility,
and is now also used at Dounreay in Scotland
and is in regular use across Europe, the
United States and Japan.
Matt said: “The site where N-Visage ® has
made the most difference has been
Fukushima Daiichi in Japan after the
earthquake and tsunami of 2011.
“Following the explosions at these
reactors, the distribution of radioactivity was
a complete unknown, posing a huge hazard
to health and the environment.
“N-Visage ® has been used there for more
than five years now and has played a
significant role in developing the present
understanding of the most inaccessible areas
of the site.
“For three years we have been working to
develop a version of the system for extreme
radiation, and this will be deployed by
Mitsubishi inside the reactors later this year
to generate data which will be used to plan
the critical core decommissioning work.”
Matt says N-Visage ® ’s first commercial
deployment in Sellafield in the UK also saved
the nuclear industry millions of pounds.
Using the N-Visage ® technology it was
quickly established that the planned
decommissioning of a redundant fuel
handling cell could not proceed in the way
that had been assumed.
The fact that Createc was able to discover
this after a few weeks of data-driven
simulation meant Sellafield saved several
years of trial and error to reach this
conclusion.
Matt said: “A primary motivation for the
development of the N-Visage ® system is
improving efficiency in nuclear clean-up
around the world.
“At Createc we believe that by using
exportable technology to solve the challenges
we can both reduce the costs to the taxpayer
and create a stable, technology-driven local
industry that can outlive its original purpose.
“We are extremely proud of the fact that
our head office and the bulk of our
employees are in Cumbria and that our
exports bring sufficient value into the
economy to completely offset the cost of our
contribution to UK decommissioning and
bring millions of pounds per year of
additional revenue into the Cumbrian local
economy.”
Createc has also won awards for
innovation from The Institution for
Engineering and Technology (IET), The
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
and Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
(NDA).

WELDING TIPS
WELDING TECHNIQUES EXPLAINED
Welding is essential in the manufacture of buildings, bridges, cars,
aeroplanes, pipelines, power stations and a host of other structures and
objects. There are four main welding techniques used in modern
manufacturing industry and construction, as explained below.
Welding is a process that is rarely seen, oft-forgotten, and largely
invisible – out of sight, out of mind. Disregarding it, however, could also
leave you severely out of pocket. That’s why it pays to take welding and
fabrication seriously.
But this begs a fundamental question – given that there are so many
different welding techniques, which is the right one for a specific
application? There are essentially four main types of welding.
Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux core arc welding (FCAW)
use the same core process – consumable electrode wire is automatically
fed into the welding arc so that users do not need to replace the electrode
as often as they do in, say, shielded metal arc welding (SMAW).
A wire feeder synchronises with the power
supply to deliver wire from a spool at the
appropriate speed. Most electrode wires also
require a shield gas which feeds through the
same cable as the wire. However, with selfshielded
flux-core wire, the wire produces its
own shield gas and protective slag.
The tip conducts electricity through the
electrode wire. A gas diffuser releases the gas
into the nozzle, which then blows out around
the weld puddle to repel contaminants. When
gas, wire and electric power are united
properly, the wire melts steadily into the
workpiece.
The amperage, voltage and wire speed used
in GMAW/FCAW will vary depending on the
metal being welded and the type of wire being
used.
GMAW and FCAW have many different
options for nozzles, tips and diffusers.
Protruding tips and tapered nozzles can aid
welding in narrow spaces while recessed tips
enable higher burn-off rates.
Self-shielded FCAW does not normally
require a nozzle as there is no external shield
gas. However, FCAW with a shield gas is
extremely resistant to atmospheric interference
like wind.
GMAW and FCAW welding tips
Be sure to follow safety and setup
procedures in the owner’s manual.
Varying the wire feed speed/amperage
must be done manually. The thicker the
electrode wire, the higher the wire feed speed
and the more amperage that is required to burn
off the electrode wire.
Increasing wire feed speed and voltage or
increasing wire thickness will increase the rate
that filler metal is deposited to the workpiece.
Most automatic wire systems maintain a
voltage. However, voltage can be varied on a
machine manually to alter the distance between
the tip and the point where wire burns out (the
‘stick-out distance’).
How a user welds can greatly affect weld
properties. The angle of the tip and the travel
speed while welding can alter the weld depth.
Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) –
commonly known as ‘stick welding’ – is one of
the most widely used welding processes for
joining metal. For stick welding, each electrode
has a metal core that can contain different types
of metal and an outer covering of flux.
The flux coating shields the arc from
contaminants in the air, making the finished
weld stronger. Flux also helps eliminate tiny
holes that can form in the weld (metal porosity),
as well as cracking, undercutting, and spatter.
If an electrode has absorbed moisture, using
an electrode oven to dry it out can restore its
ability to deposit quality welds.
Mastering the following five elements
should ensure successful stick welding:
Current: using the appropriate current (AC
or DC) is imperative.
Length of arc: the distance between the
electrode and workpiece should be the length of
the diameter of the electrode’s core wire.
Angle of electrode: the angle of the electrode
affects weld penetration. Too much penetration
can make the weld brittle and lead to stress
cracking and create holes in the metal; too little
penetration can result in a weak weld.
Manipulation of weld pool: as stick welding
is performed, gas pockets can form which can
compromise weld integrity. These can be
eliminated with a slight side-to-side motion
when welding.
Speed of travel: A weld speed that is too
slow leads to a weld bead that is too large while
a fast weld can lead to a weld bead that is too
narrow.
SMAW welding tips
Take care when handling stick welding
electrodes. Rough handling can cause the flux
coating to break loose from the core wire,
rendering the electrode unusable.
Don’t use an electrode if the core wire is
exposed because the missing flux will cause
welding defects and result in a poor weld.
Keep electrodes dry; wet electrodes can
result in porous, weak finished welds.
During set up, set the amperage on the
welding machine to match what is required by
the electrode being used. If stick welding for the
first time, set the amperage exactly in the
middle of the range suggested for the electrode.
If using DC machine, set the polarity
according to the requirements of the electrode
being used.
Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW),
commonly known as TIG (or tungsten inert gas)
welding, is a versatile welding process for
joining metal. Both AC and DC power sources
can be used in TIG welding; which is chosen
will depend on the type and thickness of the
metal to be welded.
A TIG torch is an electrode holder that
supplies welding current to the tungsten
electrode and an inert shield gas to the arc zone.
A collet-like clamping device allows adjustment
so that the right length of electrode extends
beyond the shielding gas cup.
TIG welding uses a non-consumable
tungsten electrode and has an extremely high
melting point which means that TIG electrodes
can heat other metals to their melting points
without themselves melting.
Argon and helium are the main shielding
gases used in TIG welding. In some
applications, however, a mixture of the two
gases can prove advantageous. On occasion,
hydrogen is mixed with argon or helium for
special applications.
TIG welding tips
A foot pedal allows the user to adjust the
amperage of the machine without having to
manually turn the amperage knob and is highly
recommended.
Torch position is important in TIG welding.
The ideal position is 90°. However, the weld
pool will be blocked from view by the torch.
Angle the torch 15° to see the weld pool while
maintaining great results.
Some TIG welding requires the use of a filler
metal in the form of a filler rod when there is
insufficient metal present to complete a strong
joint.
Torches may be air- or water-cooled.
GTAW is most commonly used to weld thin
sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous
metals such as aluminium, magnesium,
and copper alloys.

and welding industry. From time-honoured
processes in cutting and welding to
