Neles has delivered its first valve with a 3D-printed valve body for field testing. Except for the body, the valve is a standard T5-series ball valve made of stainless steel.
The objective of every manufacturing company is to satisfy its customers by delivering workpieces to the right quality, on time, and at optimal cost. Here, Staffan Lundström, Product Manager at Sandvik Coromant explains why cost-efficiency and quality in steel turning means precision — particularly in the choice of coolant.
Okuma is now offering a new combination of lathe and robot system. Users can benefit from a flexible automation solution with impressive cutting performance on the entry-level model GENOS L3000-e STANDROID.
One of the main tasks in metal cutting is to extract the enormous heat in the cutting zone efficiently. This is quite a challenge, especially in turning work where there is continuous contact between the cutting edge and the workpiece.
BUMAX has installed three new state-of-the-art machines at its facility in Šshammar in Swedens steel belt, to enhance its operations and improve productivity.
Schoeller Werk is a manufacturer in this segment and offers its customers a corresponding, fully automatic solution with a high-performance sawing centre.
Sandvik has appointed Nadine Crauwels as a member of the Sandvik Group Executive Management as of 1 October 2020. Since 2017 Crauwels has been the President of Sandvik Coromant and she has held several different management positions within Sandvik Coromant since 2000.
Dormer Pramet, a division within Sandvik Machining Solutions, has reached an agreement to acquire the entire business of the Indian company Miranda Tools, comprising manufacture of High Speed Steel and solid carbide round tools.
Whether cylinder heads, forming and cutting tools or components for semiconductor production lines, the demands placed on the machines used continue to grow.
Stainless steel can be machined using a variety of methods depending on the specific type of stainless steel and the desired outcome. Here are some common methods of machining stainless steel:
Turning: This involves rotating the stainless steel workpiece on a lathe and using a cutting tool to remove material from the surface.
Milling: This involves using a milling machine to remove material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece using a rotating cutting tool.
Drilling: This involves using a drill bit to create holes in the stainless steel workpiece.
Grinding: This involves using a grinding wheel or other abrasive tool to remove material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece.
EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): This involves using stainless steel electrodes and a small electrical charge to erode material from the surface of the stainless steel workpiece.
Laser Cutting: This involves using a high-powered laser to cut through the stainless steel workpiece.
It’s worth noting that machining stainless steel can be more challenging than machining other metals due to its hardness, toughness, and tendency to work-harden. Therefore, it’s important to use appropriate cutting tools and machining parameters to ensure a high-quality finished product.
