Magna Machine had a contract from an oil and gas company to manufacture fluid end blocks from a solid block of steel the size of an office desk. The job involved boring holes in the steel that were 3.5 inches in diameter on the outside but expanded to five inches in diameter on the inside, which resulted in a lot of chatter. The tooling solution from Sandvik Coromant saved Magna an estimated 185 hours of machine time and $40,000 in expenses.
A new indexable carbide hob concept offers a cost-efficient alternative to solid HSS hobs. Replacing solid tools with indexable tooling significantly reduces the related maintenance effort. The ease of use and high cutting data capacity of the new hob offer tangible productivity benefits.
In the fast-paced, rapidly growing energy and transportation industries, gear components are front and center. In many applications, they’re the most important, expensive and time-consuming parts to machine; and with tightening technical specifications and increasing production demands, it’s crucial that gear manufacturers in all industries optimize their operations. The industry right now, fortunately, is booming.
Italian company Rössl&Duso has shifted into the business of providing power generation equipment – in particular the huge turbines that light up whole cities – to areas where power generation is lagging behind energy consumption.
A new polyurethane-based composite technology that will help create stronger and longer blades for wind turbines has been developed in the United States.
The Swedish company Minesto has developed a form of underwater kite that could provide a more environmentally friendly and efficient renewable energy source than wind power.
The U.S. government has approved a project to create the country’s first offshore wind farm. The farm, Cape Wind, will be located in Nantucket Sound, off Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
In response to growing demands for higher productivity, a team of experts found a way to add 800 hours of capacity to an existing machine with the help of Sandvik Coromant.
Sandvik Coromant has put considerable effort into developing application knowledge in machining solutions for turbine blades. Tooling strategies must take into account factors such as size, type and design of blades, quantities to be machined and process flows as well as economic and related factors.
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.
