The April issue of International Metalworking News for Asia magazine is themed around advanced manufacturing and reflects the rapid pace of
development we’ve seen in recent months. A number of technical articles explore
how manufacturers can leverage, create and deliver powerful products quickly
and efficiently.
Leading off is how to choose the right
aluminum saw. When cutting aluminium, cutting speeds must be
higher and cutting forces lower. To ensure clean, exact cuts, it is especially
important to have an optimum cutting geometry along with good lubrication and
cooling. Chips can readily cause problems owing to the high speeds and must be
removed in an effective manner. Users who saw aluminium on a regular basis are
therefore advised to purchase a machine that is specially designed for this
purpose.
Up next
is lasers.
Whether tailored 3D print of lightweight construction components or precise
bores using an ultra-short pulse laser, the range of applications stretches
across all sectors of manufacturing. Bundled light is a core element of
Industry 4.0, in which the virtual, digital world is connected to real
manufacturing.
The flexibility, strength and light weight are some of the
qualities that make aluminium attractive in so many different applications. When it comes to machining of
aluminium, metal cutting saw technology specialist Maschinenbau offers a
comprehensive range of machinery specially designed for aluminium and other
light metals.
The final article in the set is about testing workpiece surfaces in machine tools. Given the harsh conditions prevailing
within machine tools, the automated, machine-internal measurement of surface
quality was considered to be technically impossible for the longest time.
Moreover, customers in the high-production serial manufacturing sector expect
extremely short measurement times but also maximum reliability and precision.
