    Measure tool wear using vibration or cutting force measurement?

    We had devolopped a new system to monitor wind turbines installed in the ocean. Once the accelero are in place no manual handling is needed. So for a machine shop it is much easier. For your tool brekage in engine blocks,a classic pb, you should start with stub drills or short series drills, ask...

    Measure tool wear using vibration or cutting force measurement?

    We have already developed system to do that for high speed machine tools. It works very well. It works for other machinery (pumps, compressor, gear boxes etc..) We have portable kit where you can install the acc. on the non-rotating parts of the spindle. Collect the signals analyse them and have...

    Moving into production engineering

    NOOOOooo....don't do it!! you will scrap your life !! Just kidding you. Good luck :)

    What exactly is a "rough" surface?

    Forget Williams and Kapoor....these are academics :) Rough or smooth depends on the intended use of the surface. How to measure roughness : profilometer (contact, contactless),comparison (existing samples) Profilometer can provides at least 30 parameters to measure the roughness of a surface...

    17-4-PH trim material

    Do you need mechanically stronger material than SS410 Do you need more corrosion resistant material than SS410 17-4PH;SS455C; why not SS420... Zinov

    Hi everyone, I am looking for co

    Thanks to All, The parts size is approximately 3.5''x1.5''x0.5''. It is an assembly that shows some <wing> mechanism. RP followed by sanding and painting may produce something acceptable. but not durable. Paint cracks and the model becomes non-presentable. we paid around 5000$ for scaled samples...

    Hi everyone, I am looking for co

    Hi everyone, I am looking for companies that can produce realistic marketing products. Like reproduce any the 3D model from glass or high quality coloured plastic. All I found is companies selling pens, cups ,USB which is not what I'm looking for. Rapid prototyping did not produce good finish...

    Hello Everyone, Thanks for reading

    Hello Everyone, Thanks for reading my post. I continue to check the resistance of my <tubes> to torque load on solidworks. I have a high discrepancy between FEA and hand calculation Please see attached file for results :167 MPa (by hand) and 402.3 (Cosmos) My questions are : 1-Is my hand...

    How to calculate the strain of the machine?

    Hoezap, If I am not wrong ; ISO 8688-2:1989 (Tool life testing in milling -- Part 2: End milling). MQL, stands for minimum quantity lubricant or in machinist language --Mist It is a low quantity of oil ejected in the tool nose (go to utube and see lot of shots about it). It was a pleasure to...

    Help Needed : torque verification

    Thanks Rumandcola, can you please give me more details on how to do it? Any reference, that can help, will be appreciated. Thanks, Zinov

    Help Needed : torque verification

    Hi everyone and Thanks for reading the post. My hand calculation and FEA did not match at all for a new model I am working on it. Therefore, I created a very simple model to make FEA verification. Surprisingly, the results did not match at all. Please see the attached file for the details of the...

    How to calculate the strain of the machine?

    Hi Hoezap, concerning your last question : Curled and black, in my opinion this means high vibrations (I expect there will be strips on the back of the chips). In addition, the tool should be under high temperature. Use coolant or MQL. Take care with cast iron and check your pumping filters...

    How to calculate the strain of the machine?

    Hi hoezap, Could I say that reducing the inserts passing frequence of 30% I can also reduce the vibration of 30%? When you reduce the tooth passing frequency you lower your exciting frequencies. By lowering the exciting frequencies, you are allowing the machine-tool-structure <to do its job> or...
