  • Welding on the Farm: Selecting a Welding Unit for the Farm Or Ranch

    Welding on the Farm: Selecting a Welding Unit for the Farm Or Ranch

    Welding on the Farm: Selecting a Welding Unit for the Farm or Ranch Farms encounter a wide variety of welding repairs and projects – having the right welder depends on a lot of factors. Do you have to bring the welder to the work or can you take the work to the welder? Which process (MIG, Stick, or TIG) fits your needs? This article examines all these issues and more. The weather finally cleared, and Wisconsin dairy farmer Al Hoffmann has 385 acres of haylage to cut and store when the chopper blower band for the silo snaps in half. Part of the 3/16 in. steel band has worn paper thin and snapped, and on this Saturday, the nearest replacement band is two days away. Using a 200 amp Millermatic® wire welder, Al saves the band by tack welding it together and then welding on a back-up strip of steel. The repaired chopper blower moves more than 800 tons of haylage in the next few days... ...It's evening milking time. Al is half done with his 185 cows when a hinge breaks on the air gate in the milking parlor. Al resumes milking a few minutes later, after he repairs the gate with a portable Millermatic wire welder that runs off his 115 V household current. "This farm has a lot of old iron, but welders keep my machinery running," Al says. In addition to the two wire welders, Al also uses a 175 amp Stick (shielded metal arc) welder, primarily for hardfacing the bucket on his skid loader or repairing his manure spreader.
  • Manufacturing Glossary

    Manufacturing Glossary

    MANUFACTURING GLOSSARY Aging – A change in the properties of certain metals and alloys that occurs at ambient or moderately elevated temperatures after a hot-working operation or a heat-treatment (quench aging in ferrous alloys, natural or artificial aging in ferrous and nonferrous alloys) or after a cold-working operation (strain aging). The change in properties is often, but not always, due to a phase change (precipitation), but never involves a change in chemical composition of the metal or alloy. Abrasive – Garnet, emery, carborundum, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, diamond, cubic boron nitride, or other material in various grit sizes used for grinding, lapping, polishing, honing, pressure blasting, and other operations. Each abrasive particle acts like a tiny, single-point tool that cuts a small chip; with hundreds of thousands of points doing so, high metal-removal rates are possible while providing a good finish. Abrasive Band – Diamond- or other abrasive-coated endless band fitted to a special band machine for machining hard-to-cut materials. Abrasive Belt – Abrasive-coated belt used for production finishing, deburring, and similar functions.See coated abrasive. Abrasive Cutoff Disc – Blade-like disc with abrasive particles that parts stock in a slicing motion. Abrasive Cutoff Machine, Saw – Machine that uses blade-like discs impregnated with abrasive particles to cut/part stock. See saw, sawing machine. Abrasive Flow Machining – Finishing operation for holes, inaccessible areas, or restricted passages. Done by clamping the part in a fixture, then extruding semisolid abrasive media through the passage. Often, multiple parts are loaded into a single fixture and finished simultaneously. Abrasive Machining – Various grinding, honing, lapping, and polishing operations that utilize abrasive particles to impart new shapes, improve finishes, and part stock by removing metal or other material.See grinding.

  • Grinding Machine Construction Types of Grinders

    Grinding Machine Construction Types of Grinders

    Grinding machine A grinding machine is a machine tool used for producing very fine finishes or making very light cuts, using an abrasive wheel as the cutting device. This wheel can be made up of various sizes and types of stones, diamonds or of inorganic materials. For machines used to reduce particle size in materials processing see grinding. Construction The grinding machine consists of a power driven grinding wheel spinning at the required speed (which is determined by the wheel’s diameter and manufacturer’s rating, usually by a formula) and a bed with a fixture to guide and hold the work-piece. The grinding head can be controlled to travel across a fixed work piece or the workpiece can be moved whilst the grind head stays in a fixed position. Very fine control of the grinding head or tables position is possible using a vernier calibrated hand wheel, or using the features of NC or CNC controls. Grinding machines remove material from the workpiece by abrasion, which can generate substantial amounts of heat; they therefore incorporate a coolant to cool the workpiece so that it does not overheat and go outside its tolerance. The coolant also benefits the machinist as the heat generated may cause burns in some cases. In very high-precision grinding machines (most cylindrical and surface grinders) the final grinding stages are usually set up so that they remove about 2/10000mm (less than 1/100000 in) per pass - this generates so little heat that even with no coolant, the temperature rise is negligible. Types of grinders These machines include the Belt grinder, which is usually used as a machining method to process metals and other materials, with the aid of coated abrasives.

And defining what makes a cutting tool complex can be challenging too. “A complex cutting tool is generally defined by the tool profile and its tolerances,” said Paul Ehrlich, senior applications engineer for grinding machine builder United Grinding North America Inc., Miamisburg, Ohio. “You really need to take both of those parameters into consideration, because you might have a wide open geometry with a tolerance of two or three thousandths, and that’s not a big deal, but an odd shape, even with a looser tolerance, would be complex.” The Walter Helitronic Vision grinding machine produces rotationally symmetrical tools and parts with complex 1 of 7 4/8/2015 8:57 AM Professional profiles | Cutting Tool Engineering | April 2015 http://www.ctemag.com/aa_pages/2015/150404-ToolGrinding.html geometries. Image courtesy United Grinding North America. Bill Freese, president of grinding machine builder Rush Machinery Inc., Rushville, N.Y., concurred, adding that multifunction tools, which may feature geometries intended to serve multiple purposes, are also complex. Toolmaker and machine tool builder Star Cutter Co., Farmington Hills, Mich., expands the definition of complex to encompass anything outside of its normal range, noted Paul Schulte, manager of advanced technology. “We view ‘complex’ as a tool with more than one diameter or a tolerance that is tighter than our off-the-shelf products,” he explained.
