Difficult materials, complex shapes, precise specifications, higher production rates and tighter timelines are some of the many unique factors that make manufacturing aerospace components so challenging.
Sandvik Coromant has the expertise and resources to deliver comprehensive solutions including the tools and the critical process knowledge necessary for reducing non-cutting time and optimizing cutting performance.
Quality control along with achieving good security and productivity levels are the drivers in tool selection. Sandvik Coromant and Precorp diamond coated and PCD-vein technology drills have been developed as dedicated solutions to suit various material and set-up applications.
In this web cast we examine an innovative new threading concept, CoroThread 266, with applications in oil and gas, mechanical, and aerospace industries. Learn how this new threading approach inhibits movement in the insert and improves both accuracy and indexability.
In micromachining, the parts may be small, but the tooling and machining options are wide open. And with all of the challenges that come with micromachining — tight tolerances, stringent quality demands, hard-to-machine materials — choosing the right methods is critical.
Operations, such as straight boring, profiling, grooving or pocketing, are characterized by being the most challenging as regards applying the coolant optimally, achieving suitable chips and evacuating chips safely and efficiently. For high pressure coolant applications there are a number of CoroTurn HP solutions that provide the benefits for internal machining — whatever the depth of hole.
Sandvik Coromant serviced UAT through a team consisting of a central technical staff member, a machine investment specialist and a productivity improvement engineer. “The success in the project can be attributed to the fact that we managed to understand UAT’s objectives and got involved right from the start,” says Pulkit.
Carbon fiber-based composite materials are expected to play a key role in the search for lighter cars, despite huge challenges in production line manufacturing.
Paul Fabrications was already using CAD/CAM technology, but as it struggled to find a solution for a job on a titanium engine access plate, project engineer Dave Rolley turned to Sandvik Coromant area sales engineer Paul O’Brien for help.
The very nature of operations with handheld tools leaves them prone to instability and even inconsistency. The performance of the equipment being used and the operator’s experience directly affect the quality of holes and productivity.
The UK, the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre at the University of Sheffield and the manufacturing industry are working together in a mutually beneficial collaboration.
