“ANCA understands the constant challenges for tool designers for achieving longer tool life and the demands to cut newer materials. With this partnership, our customers can seamlessly design a tool and access cutting analyses even before the first test cut. When ANCA first introduced CIM3D, customers couldn’t believe the sophistication of the solution and this is now the next revolutionary step in reducing tool development time and cost,” said Santosh Plakkat, Product Manager, ANCA.

This strategic cooperation is a significant step forward for the development of cutting tools, offering considerable cost advantages for both standard and special tools. The reduction in time-consuming, manual work to prepare digital tool models for simulation also significantly shortens development times.

Untapping development potential to optimise tool design

Testing multiple tool prototypes is time-consuming and cost-intensive, ANCA and Tetralytix recognise that the time has come to leverage this potential with the help of a continuous interface from tool modelling to simulation.

The tool is designed using ANCA’s iGrind software and can then be used seamlessly in Toolyzer for analysis.

Within a brief time, performance conclusions can be drawn, and recommendations for improving the tool geometry can be derived. This enables users to determine whether a tool prototype meets the requirements even before it is produced for the first time.

Orient Tools is a reputed cutting tool manufacturer based out of Pune, India, and dedicated to providing efficient and precise cutting tools that enhance productivity and quality. One of the hallmarks of Orient Tools has been its consistent efforts to incorporate cutting-edge equipment into its shop floor.

By utilising ANCA machines, Orient Tools has increased its production capacity and raised the bar for the quality of its products, setting new standards in the industry.

Power Of Embracing Technology

Established in 2011 by Deepak Das, Orient Tools has established itself as a leading manufacturer and regrinder of Solid Carbide, Brazed Carbide, High-Speed Steel (HSS), and Lugged Carbide tools in India. Deepak Das took a brave step when multinationals dominated the Indian cutting tool market, and his belief proved successful. The success story of Orient Tools proves how embracing technology can help organisations elevate their performance.

Deepak divides his company’s journey into three parts – establishing its existence, expanding its manufacturing capability, and finally establishing Orient Tools as a high-quality global cutting tool manufacturer. In the first two years, he and his three colleagues worked hard to prove their value in the market. Then, they expanded by adding two more machines in 2013, and Orient Tools was encouraged to compete in the Indian market for cutting tools.

The company set its sights on producing top-notch products and received good responses from the market within the next couple of years. Deepak expanded the company’s manufacturing capability from here by adding a third machine, a CNC machine.

“It was a challenging journey for me and Orient Tools in the initial years. We were alone and received no support regarding expanding our capabilities, getting the finances for new machines, etc. However, we learned from our mistakes, responded to the market, and were able to make our name within a concise period as a trusted cutting tool manufacturer in India,” shared Deepak Das.

Mastering Precision: Deepak Das’ Journey With ANCA

Deepak Das’s next challenge was achieving complex geometries, specific cutting tool profiles, and mass production. This time, Deepak decided to go with the best machine available in the world, ANCA CNC Machines, with robotic functions.

“After a few years, we felt that we needed to improve the profile of the cutting tools to meet the customer specifications. So, we decided to purchase an ANCA CNC machine with a Nachi Robot. It was the first machine for a local cutting tool manufacturer in India to purchase an ANCA Robotic machine,” shares Deepak.

The post ANCA’s Reliability And Service Excellence For Orient Tools Success appeared first on Asia Pacific Metalworking Equipment News | Manufacturing | Automation | Quality Control.

Boasting unparalleled accuracy and exceptional quality, the FX7 ULTRA takes small tool manufacturing to new heights.

“The FX7 ULTRA introduces cutting-edge technologies that revolutionise precision grinding for small tools down to 0.1mm diameter. If you produce tools such as ballnose, corner radius endmills, and complex or intricate profile tools, then this machine is for you,” says Darren Fox, ANCA Product Manager.

FX7 ULTRA guarantees perfection for small tools down to 0.1mm

New software, hardware and design features significantly improve surface finish, accuracy, and controlled runout, ensuring batch consistency from the first ground tool to the last. These advancements ensure that the FX7 ULTRA is the go-to solution for precision grinding in industries that rely on small tools, including electronics, telecommunications, medical devices, aerospace, automotive, diemold, and general machining.

Features of the FX7 ULTRA:

• one nanometre control system,
• new servo control algorithm for smooth motion,
• system and mechanical upgrades enhance stiffness and rigidity,
• in-process measuring, balancing and runout compensation for consistent accuracy,
• Motor Temperature Control (MTC) – ANCA’s patented innovation, and
• specialist training support from our engineering experts on how to grind perfect cutting tools.

The FX7 ULTRA not only grinds tools faster than other machines, but also produces tools with both finer surface finishes and greater accuracy — which means superior tool performance and quality.

“The ULTRA technology has enabled production of high-quality small tools with the capability to grind down to a size as small as 0.1mm. The nanometer control enables micro-adjustments for smoother axis movement resulting in optimal tool geometry, ensuring superior cutting performance and surface finish. These advancements will have a significant impact across the entire tool range, enabling precise and efficient grinding operations for a variety of applications,” Darren concludes.

Pat Boland, ANCA Co-founder says: “Our customers who supply to industries where intricate and precise machining operations are paramount are always striving for the best quality tools, and now they can stay ahead of the game with the FX7 ULTRA. After years of dedicated research and development, the FX7 ULTRA is set to revolutionise the way we manufacture small tools.”

Showcasing The CPX Linear Blank Preparation Machine: Surface Finish Better Than 0.2Ra With Run Out Of Less Than Two Microns

Cutting tool blank preparation is now even more productive with new ANCA technology – an in-process OD measurement system for the CPX Linear machine. A quality control system monitors and controls the OD of ground blanks within a batch production on the CPX. The In-Process OD Measurement System meets a CpK of >1.33 on a 0.003mm tolerance.

To deliver even higher productivity, the CPX uses the pinch peel method of cylindrical grinding. In this method, the grind point and the support are at a fixed distance and the blank slides longitudinally while the blank is ground to a required shape. This technology achieves higher material removal rates and reduced grinding times.

The CPX Linear has a large working envelope and grinding spindles with Motor Temperature Control (MTC) to achieve the highest precision and productivity for blank preparation in the market. High material removal rates form as the primary function of the machine without compromising on dimensional accuracy and surface finish of <0.2Ra.

A Technical Look At The FX7 ULTRA’s Innovative Features

FX ULTRA ensures batch consistency from the first ground tool to the last

Greater Control For The Velocity And Acceleration Or Deceleration Along With Machine Jerk Limits: To increase the stiffness of the C-axis, the FX7 ULTRA combines developments to the nanometre or micro degree resolution in the linear and rotary axis, tuning parameters, several system enhancements, and major mechanical changes.

ULTRA-Fast Response To Internal Or External Disturbances: ANCA’s newly designed servo control algorithm allows silky smooth motion of an axis with the use of a unique algorithm and nanometre measurement in the control system. This will create finer cutting edges and eliminating micro-chips making it more efficient while used in actual machining of materials.

Better Cycle Time And Higher Productivity Of High-Quality Cutting Tools: The unique algorithm is key to the performance of the machine and ensures outstanding tracking performance. It also allows ULTRA-performance of the servo system without using a complex, complicated, or expensive mechanical system.

Reduces Setup Times And Scrap: Cutting-edge software has been developed by ANCA to ensure batch consistency in large volumes. LaserUltra will maintain consistency and accuracy of the grinding process which includes in-process measurement and compensation to accommodate wheel wear and other external variations during large batch grinding. Its analog capability can maintain less than +/- 0.002mm line form accuracy of any profile which includes ballnose and corner radius tools.

Increased Wheel Life And Better-Quality Tools: Tool and wheel performance can be further optimised by the iBalance software, which guides a user to the optimal grinding position and RPM for vibration monitoring and balancing the wheelpack inside the machine. Correctly balanced wheelpacks result in superior surface finish and reduced wheel wear due to the elimination of wheel vibration.

Consistency In Finished Tool Quality: The total tool runout measurement and compensation operation is available in the iGrind software. When an endmill is in rotation it is important that each tooth hits at the exact same spot along the workpiece for longer tool life and efficient cutting. Every tool in the batch can be measured and compensated for runout to make sure the entire batch is within a tolerance of 0.002mm. It is another piece of assurance that the first endmill will be as good as the last.

Consistent Spindle Thermal Stability: Motor Temperature Control (MTC) is a patent pending innovation built into the motor spindle drive firmware. Smart control algorithm actively manages and maintains the temperature of motorised spindles in the FX7 ULTRA. Dramatically reduced machine warmup time means production can start sooner, once the machine has reached thermal stability. This improves productivity and machine use. Consistent thermal stability of the spindle over time regardless of changes in load or speed, or coolant temperature, greatly improves the dimensional stability of grinding results.

Post Grinding Processes: The smoother, finer cutting edge and surface finish as a result of the combination of all the above including the nanometre control will assist in all post grinding applications like edge preparation and coating. A finer edge that has been properly prepared has greater stability, which reduces the likelihood of it chipping, while also decreasing surface roughness which can cause increased friction between the tool and the workpiece.

The post A New Era Of Automation: ANCA’S Integrated Manufacturing System appeared first on Asia Pacific Metalworking Equipment News | Manufacturing | Automation | Quality Control.

Article by ANCA.

The global impacts of COVID-19 are numerous and continue to affect people in ways that are unexpected. Stemming from this, the crisis response from the healthcare system in many countries was the necessary decision to stop all non-emergency procedures in order to direct resources towards tackling rising COVID cases. While the health system continues to face the challenges of the pandemic, many institutions are looking to ramp up elective surgery to address the backlog with careful planning. 

Growth of the Orthopaedics Implant Market

In the UK, it is estimated that nearly 10 million people are waiting for surgical procedures, including joint replacement surgeries* while one recent study in the US predicts that the post-pandemic backlog will exceed one million cases in orthopaedic surgery alone.* Compounding these backlogs is the steady growth in orthopaedic surgery due to an ageing population, with osteoarthritis being one of the most disabling diseases in developed countries.

The macro-economic challenges of the pandemic are also being experienced worldwide. For the tool grinding industry many traditional sectors are characterised by uncertainty. Now more than ever, diversification for tool and cutter grinding companies is a smart strategy. Diversification that follows opportunity is a proven method to protect and grow your business. 

The global orthopaedic devices market size was valued at US$53.44 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $68.51 billion by 2027 returning a CAGR of 6.6% between 2020 and 2027*, with joint reconstruction leading the market. For these reasons, the field of medical orthopaedic implant grinding is an attractive diversification strategy for the CNC tool cutting business. Joint reconstructive surgery is largely dominated by knee, hip and shoulder procedures, all of which involve orthopaedic implants and associated instruments that typically require grinding during the manufacturing process.
