Sustainable Manufacturing: Reducing Scrap and Energy Use With Burnishing
Burnishing stands out as a highly effective finishing method offering significant advantages over traditional abrasive techniques like grinding, honing, and polishing, particularly when focusing on reducing scrap and energy use. This cold-working process utilizes mechanical pressure to displace and smooth a surface, leading to a more efficient, consistent, and sustainable manufacturing operation.
The Benefits of a Tube Bundle Cutter
For fabrication shops with large, recurring workloads, the time needed to retube a heat exchanger is a constant drag on productivity. Manual methods of tube removal are time-consuming and labor-intensive, often stretching projects out over multiple weeks. One way to reduce job time is by using a tube bundle cutter or bundle saw. This can dramatically speed up the retubing process, offering significant benefits in terms of time, safety, and ultimately, cost savings.
Designing IRU Cutter Blades for Precision and Performance
Internal Recessing Units (IRUs) are essential for performing precision cuts in deep bores, a common requirement in hydraulic valve manufacturing. Unlike other cutting tools that risk deflection due to a long reach, IRUs use a piloted cutter design that maintains position in the part, ensuring consistent and precise cuts. The design of these cutter blades is crucial to their performance, with key considerations including material, bore size, and the specifics of the machining process.
From Rough to Ready: A Look at Deburring in Manufacturing
Deburring is the process of removing burrs from a part. Burrs are small, unwanted pieces of material left behind after machining, drilling, milling, or cutting. These can be sharp, ragged, or thin slivers of material that stick out from the workpiece. While they may seem insignificant, ignoring them can lead to major issues.
