The cutting tools or the cutter are the types of machining process used to remove the piece of the material by a certain process or by the shear deformation. There are two types of cutting tools; single point and multiple points. Both of these tools have different functions and applications. E.g. milling and grinding is done by the multiple point Cemented Carbide Inserts tools. The cutting tools are made with the hard material, harder than the material to be cut. These tools are strong enough to resist the cutting or the heat.

The different types of cutting tools include the tool bits, drill bits, saw blades, band saw blades, jigsaw, carbide, end mills, fly cutters and many more.

The GTC has the two parts; GTC hierarchy and the GTC package structure. Its benefit is that by organizing the list of the tool data, one can reduce the time spent in searching for the tools and its data. It saves the time and money. It is easy to use and easily search the required tools. It is being developed in the areas where there is the need for the cutting tools data. It is also used for other business for cataloguing their products.it also supports different manufacturing steps, such as, Cam process, tool path simulation, floor management, control of the inventory and e-commerce and purchasing process.

As the GTC is helping the tool brands to digitize their catalogue, it is also forcing the cutting tool brands to consider applying this system. There are a lot of benefits for the users of the GTC. Some of which are:

People can find the required cutting tools faster and easily.

You can make the smart CNC cutting tools selection.

Select the right tool easily for your project.

Can create the tool assemblies very fast.

Improve the job management and reporting about the cutting tools.

Simplify the workflow of the CNC cutting tool.

It is time Carbide Grooving Inserts saving.

The GTC benefits for the cutting tool brands are:

Better data for the customers, which means that there will be better recommendations of the product.

Increase in the level of the efficiency.

The customers will increase and give the brand more exposure.

It is easy to use without the need of the propriety system.

In the end we can say that if the brands aren't applying for this system, they will go in the loss from their competition.

As an essential part of any construction process, the concrete sawing technique is used for making precise cuttings and openings through any material. Concrete cutting Sydney indicates few different concrete sawing techniques.

Any moment of the construction process may require making openings for doors or windows, water pipes and electrical cables. Besides concrete, this technique is also successful for cutting any material, such as bricks or tiles, masonry and other hard surfaces. The demand for this type concrete service has increased in the recent years, especially due to rapid and efficient cuts through walls, floors and other surfaces.

First and foremost, this technique can be dry or wet sawing. Carbide Inserts Dry sawing is used in massive outdoor projects due to a large amount of dust that is caused. This technique uses a diamond blade that does not require water during operation and protects against overheating. Totally opposite operates the wet sawing technique. In this case, the blades work with water and therefore it prevents dust presence. So, we can say that this technique is environment-friendly, compared to dry sawing.

As its name indicates, the floor sawing technique is used for making any cutting on flat surfaces, such as concrete floors, roads and slabs. There are special floor saws, running on diesel and electrical supply. They can be used indoors and outdoors too, available to make a cut up to 500mm depth.

The wall sawing technique is used for making openings on vertical surfaces. It is the best technique for cutting your wall for new doors and windows. Tools used for this type of cutting are the wall saws.

Wire saws are used for creating various types of shapes in different sizes in reinforced concrete. This technique is using wire rope ingrained with diamond beads. Not producing cracks around the cutting surface is maybe the best benefit of this technique. Generally used for making large openings into walls.

For small and medium-sized concrete sawing projects - the ring saws are perfect. Because of their small size, they are also known as handheld tools. Workers use these tools if they are faced with limited indoor APKT Insert space.

Wet or dry sawing, floor, wall, wire and ring sawing - the choice is huge and in your hands...

It's been 6 years since the launch of the Make in India program in 2014. However, as things stand today, the program has not taken off. As per the world bank data, when the Make in India campaign was launched in India, India's manufacturing output in 2014 was 307.205 billion US$ (Current US$). And in 2019, the output was approximately 400 billion US$. In other words, the manufacturing sector grew at a CAGR of approximately 5.4%. It is in sharp contrast to the growth of the manufacturing sector from 2004 to 2014 when the output grew at a CAGR of 10.59%. Therefore, what happened? Why did India's manufacturing output fall down instead of growing at a higher rate? Were there global reasons? No, because during the same time, the same sector in countries such as Vietnam, Bangladesh grew. So, what could be the reasons? Or put it simply, how can we make the Make in India program successful? These are the following steps the government of the day can take in order to boost the Make in India program.

• Involve entrepreneurs

The Make in India policy can't be developed in isolation. Bureaucrats and economists with no manufacturing subject knowledge can't be entrusted with the task of making a policy framework for an important sector such as manufacturing. These professionals are certainly needed to implement and measure the policy, however, when it comes to the design and development of the Make in India policy, the entrepreneurs shall be brought on board. These entrepreneurs shall not be left only to give their opinions on an online forum. The entrepreneurs shall be involved in formal policy-making roles. The entrepreneurs have spent years working in the sector. They understand the nitty-gritty of a hard subject such as manufacturing. Machining Inserts They understand what's needed to revive the Make in India program. They understand what's missing from the current Make in India policy framework. Therefore, it's time, the government of the day reconstitutes the Make in India policymaking committee. Let the sector be left to its entrepreneurs.

• Build manufacturing infrastructure

Besides involving the entrepreneurs in the formal policymaking roles, the second step the government must do to succeed in the Make in India initiative is to realize that at present manufacturing infrastructure is missing in the country. Manufacturing infrastructure is different from physical infrastructure such as electricity, roads, ports, etc. Manufacturing infrastructure means the facilities or resources that can enable competitive manufacturing Cutting Inserts in the country. Therefore, having realized that at present manufacturing infrastructure is missing, the next logical step is to develop the same infrastructure. Again, the government of the day must involve entrepreneurs to understand what facilities and resources are needed that can enable the growth of Make in India program. Talk to any entrepreneurs, small or large, and they all would list down the facilities and resources that are needed to give a much-needed boost to our manufacturing. Why should a large country like India generate a manufacturing output of merely 400 billion US$ in 2019 in comparison to China's manufacturing output of 4 trillion US$ (which is almost 10 times the size of the output generated by Indian manufacturing)? Therefore, what's needed is the urgent push to develop the much-needed manufacturing infrastructure in the country to succeed in the Make in India program.

• Encourage startups

Now, the next critical step is to encourage startups. So far, the Make in India campaign has focused on only attracting global manufacturing companies to India. However, all these global companies would only come to India if there is growing market size and growing demand for their products. Moreover, all these global companies would leverage hi-tech machinery to produce goods. Therefore, the employment generation would be limited. Domestic startups shall be encouraged to produce common household goods that the global companies won't produce. The need of the hour is to create an ecosystem wherein startups are encouraged and over a period of 8-10 years, India is able to produce 8-10 million manufacturing startups of substantial size. All these startups would be producing common household goods not just for India but for the global marketplace. These domestic startups would be able to tap into the resources and facilities developed under the manufacturing infrastructure. Without these resources and facilities, the startups won't be able to take off. However, if these startups take off, then, India can certainly succeed in the Make in India program and at the same time generate millions of jobs.

Today almost every industry requires a type of plasma cutter for a successful cut. It usually involves having high-quality parts for cutting edge marks. Behind the scenes, it requires a quality plasma cutter, proper handling methods, timely maintenance, and other motion control tools.

Often neglected are the consumables, i.e., plasma cutter components that wear over time and usage. You often forget to replace them, unaware that a faulty part can disrupt other components' progress too. What should you do to avoid it?

Maintain the torch. It can ensure that Kaliburn plasma components are working correctly. But for that, you need to maintain all consumable parts in the plasma torch.

What are those main components of a plasma torch? What is its durability? How to increase their shelf life?

Let's find answers to these questions. But first, a layman introduction of Plasma cutter consumables.

What is Plasma Cutter Consumable?

In simple terms, plasma cutter consumables are the components of a plasma cutter. This machine uses an accelerated jet of hot plasma to cut electrically conductive materials like steel, aluminum, brass, and others.

Components of Kaliburn Plasma Consumables

The torch and consumable parts together yield the plasma cutting arc. The main components include swirl ring, electrode, nozzle, shield cap, and retaining cap.

They remain the same for all the consumables, including Hypertherm Powermax 45xp fine cut consumables and Kaliburn plasma consumables.

Swirl Ring

It is a small component in the torch. It channelizes the gas coming from the machine in different directions and temperatures. Additionally, it balances the flow of gas inward and outward.

Swirl Ring acts as a protective layer and prevents the nozzle from burning or degrading rapidly.

Electrode

The electrode is a slender, narrow piece of copper or silver and contains hafnium or tungsten. Its purpose is to carry current from the torch to the plate, which arcs the plate after passing through the stages.

Nozzle

The nozzle focuses the arc on the plate and cuts. As it remains in the middle of superheated gas, it may wear out sooner. Thus, the electrode's backend has a cooling device that helps in transferring the heat.

FYI, a large opening nozzle is used for gouging and a small one for fine detailed work.

Retaining Cap

The role of the retaining cap is to hold all the consumable parts of a torch together. It is a component that wears out soon because of the heat on the ends.

Shield Cap

As the name says, the shield protects the torch and other components from the molten metal or sparks. It takes over the brunt of fallout so that other components don't wear early.

Durability of Plasma Cutter Consumable

Now that we know about the different components let's see how long they can last.

The most affected are nozzle and electrode because of direct involvement with cuts and arcs. You should replace them simultaneously Carbide Milling Inserts in a defined time frame. The other components, such as a swirl ring and retaining cap, are vulnerable to dropping and breaking. Replace them when any cracks appear. You don't need to replace the shield cap as long as you can clean the slag and ensure consistent airflow. Once the slag build-up is too large to remove, remember it's time to replace it.

Tips to Prolong Life of Consumables

Replacing consumables at the right time is essential. However, here are the three ways you can extend your plasma consumables' life.

Cutting: Fine cutting requires a lot of focus work. A quick or slow cut from a wrong distance can not only make the work wrong; it can also wear your parts quickly.

Installing: Ensure that the installation of components is proper as it TNGG Insert would affect the functioning. See to it that tolerance matches the amperages and is well assembled.

Monitoring: Keep track of the components and their wearing. If a part wears, immediately replace it with a new one so that other parts are unaffected. Try to change the nozzle and electrode frequently so that they don't hamper the cut quality.

Conclusion

Keeping a check on plasma cutter consumables and torch is essential. Besides, you should also maintain and replace them routinely. If not, they may cause a catastrophic failure.

Springs are equipment that stores mechanical potential energy. Springs are extremely common and can be found in almost every industry. Springs come in several forms and materials. Every spring wire has its own unique characteristics, ss wire manufacturers make some best quality wires which are useful for specific situations. Spring wire materials are particularly chosen for some significant features like corrosion, strength, etc.

The choice of materials to use in the design and imitation of springs depends on a conception of Indexable Inserts the durability and yield strengths. These materials include stainless spring steels, high-carbon spring steels, and alloy spring steels, etc.

1.Stainless steel spring material:

This material is immune to attrition and has a low-stress relaxation. It has good stability at normal temperature. Stainless steel spring wire is generally used to make extension springs. The use of stainless steel in spring wires has increased and many compositions are useful. These all wires may be used for temperatures up to 550 °F. Stainless steel spring wire cannot conduct well in sub-zero temperatures. But only the stainless 18-8 compositions can be used at sub-zero temperatures. In India, many ss wire manufacturers produce every kind of stainless-steel wire with unique tensile and yield strength.

Characteristics of stainless-steel spring wire-

In India, stainless steel wire manufacturers supply best quality wires which have the highest durability or tensile strength and quite identical characteristics. It is cold drawn to attain its mechanical properties and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. This material is nonmagnetic only when completely tempered and becomes little magnetic due to the cold-drawn performance to develop spring properties.

Some kinds have better-bending properties, the percentage of tensile strength may vary for different compositions.

The substance best exhibits its preferable mechanical properties in diameters ranging from about 0.005 to 0.1874 inch, although some bigger diameters are obtainable.

2. High carbon steel spring material:

This material is the most commonly utilized of all spring wires because they are inexpensive, many stainless-steel wire suppliers in India also supply high carbon steel spring wires. These are easily functioned and are readily obtainable. However, they are not reasonable for springs operation at high or low temperatures or for impact loading.

Characteristics of high carbon spring material-

In music wire, spring operation temperatures are up to about 245 to 250°F. It is hard, has high tensile strength, and can resist high pressures under recited loading. This material is easily available in the round form in diameters ranging from 0.005 to 0.125 inch.

In oil tempered wire, the material should not be wielded under shock and effect loading situations, at temperatures above 350 °F, or at temperatures in the sub-zero span. The annealed stock also can be attained for tempering and strengthening after coiling. It is easily available in diameters ranging from 0.125 to 0.500 inches.

Some of the other kinds of wire manufactured by stainless steel wire suppliers in India, also available in different diameter ranges and have low tensile strength, the springs operating at temperatures range 0 to 250°F.

3. Alloy spring material:

This spring material is specially used for conditions of high stress, and shock loadings. Some of the stainless-steel wire manufacturers also supply alloy spring wires. These wires can resist both higher and lower temperatures than the high-carbon steels and are available in the annealed conditions.

Characteristics of alloy spring material-

The high-carbon spring steels and is also used where good exhaustion strength and persistence are required. It functions well under impact loading. The material is available in diameters ranging from 0.031 to 0.500 inches. These alloy wires are used mostly in aircraft-engine valve springs. It is used for BTA deep hole drilling inserts highly stressed springs which need for a long life.

This kind of material is also available in round, square, and rectangular sections in both annealed and pre-tempered conditions.

So, this is a basic outline of the unique characteristics of some common spring wire materials.

The RPA adoption in the manufacturing industry is growing.

Yes, RPA or Robotic Process Automation is being widely adopted by the manufacturing industry.

Using this emerging software technology that helps to build, deploy and manage software robots, the manufacturing industry can streamline its operations, reduce operational costs and emulate actions typically performed by humans.

Mostly implemented in the form of physical robots, RPA helps manufacturing companies CCMT Insert with performing tasks like testing, assembling, packaging, etc. but that's not all.

Apart from the manufacturing part, RPA can be used to perform a wide range of other tasks in the manufacturing industry. And today in this article, we are going to talk about those use cases.

So, let's get started!

Automation Of Administrative Tasks

The manufacturing industry has some laborious administrative tasks to complete.

But what if you can reduce the need to perform these arduous administrative tasks; so that employees can concentrate more on other critical tasks?

And guess what, like other industries, the administrative tasks can tremendously benefit from office automation, at least the RPA use cases in production suggest so.

Be it recording the meeting tungsten carbide inserts minutes or the action items, or keeping a track of attendance, responding to emails containing FAQs, ordering supplies, scheduling meetings, or predicting computer issues, all these administrative tasks can be easily automated with RPA.

Invoice Processing

Automation of invoice processing is one of the crucial parts of RPA use cases in manufacturing.

An invoice processing begins with receiving an invoice and ends with the completion and record of the payment. So yes, updating the received invoices and sending them for approvals manually is not only a time-consuming process but also a tedious task. Plus, performing the invoice processing manually comes with risks of human errors which RPA eliminates.

Thanks to robotic process automation in manufacturing, businesses no more need to manually update the invoices they receive which contain various steps like obtaining an invoice, assigning an invoice, and approving an invoice.

Inventory Management

Inventory management in the manufacturing industry requires a lot of paperwork.

When the inventory management is done manually, the employer or an employee needs to keep a check on the inventory's stock to be sure that there's enough when required. Yes, the person also must check the availability of each item in stock, making the ent5ire inventory management process time-consuming. And daunting.

But, as understood from a real-life RPA manufacturing case study of inventory management, RPA digitizes all the paperwork, automates emails, dispatch processes, etc.

Yes, in RPA-based automation, a bot logs into the portal, goes over all the items available;e in stock extracts their values, adds them to the excel sheet in such a way that if an item gets below the amount, the person responsible for checking the stock's insufficiency gets updated immediately.

In simpler words, automation in inventory management simply boosts operational efficiency, enhances communication, and reduces cost.

Customer Service Desk And Support

Handling customer requests manually often leads to delayed resolution or responses as well as errors in tracking the information which makes customer service management unreliable. And unreliable customer service results in customer dissatisfaction.

However, by implementing RPA in manufacturing, the time-consuming process of resolving customer issues through navigating multiple business systems can be performed quickly and more accurately.

In this customer experience-driven business era, what experience your customers have with business matters very much in determining the future and growth of the business.

Hence, when customer services are automated using RPA, the manufacturing industry gets a customer service management system that can offer unified solutions. For example, RPA allows the integration of a chatbot system with which the customers can easily interact.

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) System

An ERP system refers to a software system that helps businesses manage and run their processes in manufacturing, finance, supply chains, services, and more.

Now operating the ERP system manually means operating a huge amount of data in a single place, which can be pretty challenging.

However, with Manufacturing process automation, a bot performs all the actions required for ERP such as extracting data from pdf files, important the extracted data on the system, the VAT calculation, sending the file details to the finance team, and sharing it with the logistics team, for approval.

And apart from these, other instances of RPA use cases can also be observed in creating purchase or sales orders, managing IT operations more strategically, maintaining vendor communication, automation of logistics data, proactively managing business risks, etc.

Wrapping Up

To ensure manufacturing process automation and reduce human errors in those, more and more manufacturing enterprises are implementing RPA.

But, now it's time that the manufacturing industry applies RPA in their backend business operations as well.

Yes, reducing human resources in the manufacturing process boosts productivity. But using RPA in business applications, can not only automate the back-office department but can also promote savings in those operations.
