As the shop realizes the ben- efits, it starts to migrate more work into that cell to take advantage of the spindle utilization.” He added that eight to 10 pallets would be enough capacity for a small to medium-size shop starting with pallet au- tomation. “Most companies have a 1- to 2-hour cycle time on a HMC for a four- sided tombstone on a pallet, so if you load the system with 10 pallets, at even an average of 1 hour machining time per pallet, you would have 10 hours of unat- tended machining, which could be your unmanned third shift,” Klaver said. In general, a two-pallet system can run unat- tended for 3 hours, an eight-pallet system can run for 8 to 12 hours, and a 40-pallet system can run an entire weekend. For small shops with short runs, the real benefit to having more pallets is being able to leave complex jobs with long setup times permanently set up to run on de- mand rather than having to reset them for each run. contributors Fastems LLC (513) 779-4614 www.fastems.com Kitamura Machinery of USA Inc.

  • Numerical Control (NC) Fundamentals
    Lab Sheet for CNC Laboratory Department of Production Engineering and Metallurgy Prepared by: Dr. Laith Abdullah Mohammed Production Engineering – CNC Lab Lab Sheet Numerical Control (NC) Fundamentals What is Numerical Control (NC)? Form of programmable automation in which the processing equipment (e.g., machine tool) is controlled by coded instructions using numbers, letter and symbols - Numbers form a set of instructions (or NC program) designed for a particular part. - Allows new programs on same machined for different parts. - Most important function of an NC system is positioning (tool and/or work piece). When is it appropriate to use NC? 1. Parts from similar raw material, in variety of sizes, and/or complex geometries. 2. Low-to-medium part quantity production. 3. Similar processing operations & sequences among work pieces. 4. Frequent changeover of machine for different part numbers. 5. Meet tight tolerance requirements (compared to similar conventional machine tools). Advantages of NC over conventional systems: Flexibility with accuracy, repeatability, reduced scrap, high production rates, good quality. Reduced tooling costs. Easy machine adjustments. More operations per setup, less lead time, accommodate design change, reduced inventory. Rapid programming and program recall, less paperwork. Faster prototype production. Less-skilled operator, multi-work possible. Limitations of NC: · Relatively high initial cost of equipment. · Need for part programming. · Special maintenance requirements. · More costly breakdowns.

  • Century American Machinery and Machine Tool Building
    From Depression to Globalization: Reconfiguring 20th Century American Machinery and Machine Tool Building Philip Scranton, Rutgers University Prologue Practical Machinist: 06-14-2003, 11:51 AM Let's talk about Machine Tool Making. 1. The industry is Capital Intensive. A machine tool maker has a huge amount invested in plant and equipment. 2. The industry is Labor Intensive. Almost all the workers are highly skilled and not only that, each worker has to have significant experience working in the specific shop making that company's machines. 3. The Industry is cyclic. Some years there is a big backlog of orders. Some years, there is hardly anything for the skilled and valued workers to do. 4. The "Technical" competition is Brutal. As soon as a new machine design is fit for production, some competitor brings out a newer design with faster spindle speeds or faster motions or some other feature that he touts relentlessly in the trade publications. A Machine tool can be rendered obsolete by the time the first article is being crated up on a maker's loading dock. 5. The reverse of this can happen. A machine tool maker can devise a highly sophisticated design that just doesn't sell. Giddings and Lewis has had this happen to them several times and Davenport Machine had it happen with a servo-controlled, multi-spindle automatic bar machine. 6. During slow times, a machine tool manufacturer can be in competition with slightly used machine of his own manufacture. This is happening right now. None of the above points have anything to do with the government, and the best of the foreign competition suffers all of the above situations.

    CNC Machine Tool Information Reusability within Virtual Machining Systems Parag Vichare School of Engineering and Computing, University of the West of Scotland, Paisley, PA1 2BE, UK Xianzhi Zhang School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, Kingston University London, London SW153DW Vimal Dhokia Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY, UK Wai M Cheung Faculty of Engineering and Environment, Department of Mechanical and Construction Engineering, University of Northumbria, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE1 8ST, UK Wenlei Xiao, Lianyu Zheng School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Beihang University, Beijing, P.R. China Abstract Virtual Machining (VM) allows simulation of the machining process by realistically representing kinematic, static and dynamic behaviour of the intended machine tools. Using this method, manufacturing related issues can be brought to light and corrected before the product is physically manufactured. Machining systems utilised in the manufacturing processes are represented in the VM environment and there is a plethora of commercial VM software used in the industry. Each software system has a different focus and approach towards virtual machining; more than one system may be needed to complete machining verification. Thus, the significant increase in the use of virtual machining systems in industry has increased the need for information reusability. Substantial time and money has been put into the research of virtual machining systems. However, very little of this research has been deployed within industrial best practice and its acceptance by the end user remains unclear. This paper reviews current research trends in the domain of VM and also discusses how much of this research has been taken on board by software venders in order to facilitate machine tool information reusability.
