MACHINE TOOLS TECHNOLOGY Match cutting tools for maximizing efficiency The need to calculate power consumption can become even more important when using machines equipped with high-speed spindles that usually generate very little horsepower at lower rpms. Using the flash repair techniques The trick is to know how and where to strike the steel. The danger lies in the fact that you’re swinging a hammer within a whisper of a delicate cavity edge and the potential damage could be worse than the original problem. Practical solutions for machining problems Tooling and software has made great strides at taking advantage of high-speed mills, especially for finishing. Many of these high-speed mills are characterized by high spindle speeds and fast feedrates. Efficient Retrofitting: Understanding the vital factors One to two-day retrofit-in-the-field for pallet expandability, from two pallets to six or eight pallets because the machine comes fully assembled from the factory, resulting in minimal loss of production. High-speed machining : Focusing the technology facets The traditional method of finish machining hardened materials was EDM. In applications where HSM can replace the EDM process there will be considerable cost and cycle time reductions. EDM drill automation: A critical task Robots also can change out guides. This type of automation is more advanced than most shops require; however, it is particularly useful if a part requires two or more differently sized electrodes because each new size requires a new guide that matches its own diameter. Quesion Answer
POWER TECHNOFOCUS Undertaking the switchgear maintenance Switchgear maintenance is usually considered a low priority by most management teams, who defer or ignore it until a failure occurs. At many facilities, the maintenance crews take only some of the easier steps. Achieving the power assurance through proper approach If you are starting from scratch, lay out your major runs with the various power levels as far apart as possible. Run the highest distribution voltage you can, for as long as you can. Selecting the right switchgears Intelligent breakers and switchgear make it easier to keep a facility running properly by improving reliability and simplifying load management The basics of short-circuit calculation methods A circuit breaker can’t interrupt a circuit at the instant of inception of a short. Instead, due to the relay time delay and breaker contact parting time, it will interrupt the current after a period of five to eight cycles, by which time the DC component will have decayed to nearly zero and the fault will be virtually symmetrical. Making safe electrical system By keeping the effects of arc flash in mind while laying out an electrical system, designers can reduce risks to maintenance personnel and ensure safer equipment performance. Maintaining your power distribution system Maintenance frequency is always fertile ground for confusion; and complacency. Some industries follow the guidelines of regulatory organizations that establish maintenance schedules, but most do not.
