International Metalworking News for Asia

One of the best and exciting things about the evolution of equipment design is that it favours the more effcient use of foor space, while producing to higher tolerances. The Laser Cutting section features the “Birth of a new machine”. Higher precision, speeds, and quality are trademarks of this newest generation of laser system. As the use of laser processing continues to grow, newer system designs will take a larger portion of the system installation. Find out more and understand the real defnition and meaning of value.
Learn what you need to know about heat-shrink technology. This process is suitable for workpieces that are subject to high torque rates and great dynamic loads. But what kind of specifc machine building know-how is required to design heat shrinking machines? Read this month’s Machining Equipment section and discover heat-shrinking assembly system for the manufacture of composite camshafts.
For tool makers and manufacturers, machining material 1.2714 is a regular challenge when it comes to the tool life achieved during thread cutting. A company based in Saarland shared how its tool lives have now more than doubled. Check Cutting Tools for the complete story.
In an ever-evolving, complex industry such as machine tool engineering, specialties and necessary skill sets are bound to change. More applications require advancements in hardware and software engineering. There is always interest to develop new types of tooling devices that are more energy effcient that can be used in a more wide range of environments.
