If the goal is to increase production, does it do any good to make the machines run faster? Hardly: In traditional process chains, secondary activities take up to 80 percent of the time. The goal of digitization and Industry 4.0 is to reduce these secondary activities and better coordinate processes. To achieve this, all processes must be automated as much as possible. ...
Generally speaking, oxyfuel cutting or flame cutting refers to all cutting processes in which material is burned. In most cases, these terms are used as a proxy for autogenous flame cutting or oxyfuel cutting. In this cutting process, a flame heats the material at the surface until its ignition temperature is reached. This is between 1150 and 1250 °C for mild steel, for ...
1. External Turning External turning is one of the most basic turning operations and is usually used to reduce the outer diameter of a workpiece. By moving the tool along the length of the workpiece, the material is removed to obtain the desired diameter and surface finish. This process is suitable for machining cylindrical parts such as shafts or bars. 2. Facing Facing...
Silicon, Single-Crystal Silicon and Silicon Carbide are the most popular materials for semiconductor showerheads, which require many micro-deep holes. Laser is one common way to make the holes. However, the disadvantages of laser are also obvious, such as poor surface quality, long cycle time and inconsistency of holes. More and more manufacturers have begun to turn t...
To measure the pitch diameter of a thread, you can place three thin pins on the top and bottom of the thread’s teeth, then use an outside micrometer to measure the distance between the two outer pins. By using a formula, you can calculate the pitch diameter. This method is accurate and commonly used. A thread plug gauge is used to measure internal threads, and a thread ...
Line Knurling: Produces a series of straight, parallel lines along a surface. It is often used for visual appeal and slightly improved grip.

Deburring is the process of removing small, sharp edges or protrusions known as burrs from the surface of a workpiece. These burrs form due to uneven deformation or shearing during cutting processes and can negatively impact the appearance, fit, and function of the part. If not properly removed, burrs can increase friction, cause wear, or even damage the final product. ...
