FUNDAMENTAL MANUFACTURING PROCESSES: THERMAL AND ABRASIVE WATERJET CUTTING PROCESSES

Thermal cutting processes use heat for cutting. The abrasive waterjet process uses no heat, but cuts by abrasive erosion. All these processes provide precision non-contact cuts in a wide variety of materials, and cut in single pass, rather than multiple passes.

To better understand the various cutting processes, this program, examines, explains, and compares oxy-fuel cutting, plasma cutting, laser cutting applications, and abrasive waterjet cutting.

The oxy-fuel cutting segment explores the cutting variables, torch tip types, depth of cut variables, and oxy-fuel cutting machine tools.

The plasma cutting segment defines plasma, and talks about plasma gas types, plasma arc system elements, kerf width, cutting jet shielding, and more.

The laser cutting segment features the advantages and limitations of laser cutting while examining the process, laser types and features, machine types and components, laser holemaking, and more.

The abrasive waterjet cutting segment outlines the process and system components, the pressures needed, kerf and workpiece surface conditions, production application variables, and waterjet safety.

MANUFACTURING INSIGHTS: LEAN AUTOMATION

This Program explores the motivations and practical implementation of automation in manufacturing, and how it might be more effective when used with lean principles.

While there is a school of thought that believes lean equals simple and therefore manual, looking through the lens of a lean mind-set can actually help optimize the use of automation. Using lean principles, depending on circumstances, helps guide automation improvements to secure gains in throughput, quality, consistency and cost as well as worker safety and health.

Three companies share their experiences with lean and automation:

Opthonix, a mass-manufacturer of customized eyeglass lenses saw the value in combining specialized CNC cutting machines tied together with automation. The design of its facility was influenced by several key lean concepts.

Vickers Engineering, a metal-cutting and fabrication manufacturer with a diverse customer base shares its experiences in jointly implementing lean and automation to meet its goals for improved efficiency in implementing a robotic work cell.

Aztec Manufacturing has extensive experience with its automated work cell that combines robots with a CNC metal-cutting machine. In this case study, Aztec managers and engineers share their experience in combining lean and automation.

MANUFACTURING INSIGHTS: DIRECT METAL MANUFACTURING

This Manufacturing Insights program explores advancements in Direct Metal Manufacturing and shows how these technologies affect the creation of parts and tooling in various metals.

The first example is at Morris Technologies (Cincinnati, OH) where an EOS direct-metal laser sintering machine is able to deliver metal prototype parts in four days to help clients show off a new key lock.

Next we talk with the Synergeering Group (Farmington Hills, MI) about their experience making titanium parts directly from CAD data using the Arcam Electron Beam Melting technology.

At DME (Madison Heights, MI) we highlight the Moldfusion process as it is used to develop metal tooling for the injection molding process.

The POM Group (Auburn Hills, MI) demonstrates their direct metal deposition equipment, which can blend various metals to tailor material properties to product requirements.

Written by industry expert Todd Grimm, this program demonstrates the current state of Direct Metal Manufacturing processes. It illustrates what happens when innovative companies capitalize on Direct Metal Manufacturing to make dramatic changes to the way parts and tooling are designed.

FUNDAMENTAL MANUFACTURING PROCESSES: PLASTIC BLOW MOLDING

Plastic blow molding processes are the most popular methods used to produce hollow products out of thermoplastic materials. Blow molding is performed using a wide variety of production methods, including: intermittent and continuous extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, single and two stage bi-axial stretch blow molding, and co-extrusion blow molding. Through the use of shop floor footage and animations this program provides a detailed discussion of each of these processes, presenting a clear understanding of the similarities and differences between each of them. In addition, information on parison and preform production, the reciprocal screw style blow molding machine, the accumulator style blow molding machine, and the head and die assembly is provided.

BUSINESS DYNAMICS - MANAGEMENT: ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION

Genesis Systems Group was contracted by American Axle & Manufacturing to engineer, design, and build a new robotic welding system to manufacture its axle assemblies. After verifying the capability to produce simple components, Genesis and American Axle decided to avoid a line-type of system and instead develop a system which would de-couple the assembly process. The end result was a system that performed above specifications, while achieving the optimum balance of speed and quality.
