Swiss Screw Machining

Mon, 19 June 2006 15:22:34 +0800

Swiss turning machines were first established in Switzerland for producing fine watch components for the Swiss watch industry. With the start of the watch making industry in Suwa, Japan, these Swiss turning machines were imported into Japan. The first automatic lathes imported into Japan were cam actuated lathes or swiss type automatic screw machines. With shortening product cycles and lead times, CNC swiss turning centers have gradually replaced the swiss type automatic screw machines in Suwa too.

Carbide Die Design Services

Mon, 19 June 2006 15:22:37 +0800

Our chief tool and die designer has been designing and manufacturing stamping tool and die in Singapore since 1987. Our CAD station uses ExcessPro which provides dxf and iges format files. Our die design advantages are that we cut cost through incorporating secondary processes into the die - example is in die tapping using gewinde former. In-die tapping increases productivity and improves tapping quality, as it avoids the need for time-consuming, labour intensive secondary operations such as tapping and setting welded or crimped nuts. Work with the product designer in product engineering of the part. Input this into the die design. Design tool for automation line - we have done many such jobs for the semiconductor industry.

Stamping resource and notes on blanking and blanking die design

Mon, 19 June 2006 15:22:40 +0800

Blanking is usually considered the easiest type of metal stamping as it only involves a cutting or shearing process of the stamping stock using shear deformation. The notes cover blanking force calculation.

Manufacturing resource on Tool steels and Tungsten Carbide information

Mon, 19 June 2006 15:22:43 +0800

Information on materials such as tool steels and tungsten carbide for making press toolings. Tool steels may be either carbon or alloy steels. Steels in the lower carbon content (0.7-0.9%) are used for tools subject to shock, and higher carbon content tool steels (1.1-1.3%) are used for making tools with keen cutting edges. Cemented carbide used for making dies has 12-20% cobalt.

Resource on Power Transfer in Motors using Gears and Spline Shafts

Mon, 19 June 2006 15:23:28 +0800

In those power transfer methods that require attaching one shaft to another, such as motor-mounted gearboxes driving a separate output shaft, shaft couplers and flexible drives are used to deal with misalignment and vibration. The solid shaft couplers must be strong enough to hold the shafts` end together as if they were one shaft. The flexible couplers allow for misalignment and are used where the two shafts might be slightly out of alignment.
