The special impeller appearance of company of compressor manufacturer FS-Elliott puts the treatment issue with be in thorny all the time. Now, this kind of component also does not need to use turning of commonly used in the past olefin filled type to machine a method again. The manufacturing plant of the FS-Elliott company at Pittsburgh area produced the product counterpoint that China makes very big impact. As a result of the rapid growth of overseas production, the factory here produced very big change, the business of a lot of manufacturer is growing flourishingly in. The product that FS-Elliott company produces has 95% to be exported outwards about, among them 75% sell past China directly. This company is made industrial pneumatics machine, include to pass the system inside factory limits to carry airy to the workshop among them large compressor. As the new production of all sorts of types the factory is in the world of each district open, the compressor product of FS-Elliott company also begins by wide for witting. This kind of compressor has merchandise on hand to supply rarely. Provide a complex compressor system, mean need to be below specific electric power requirement, make sure how much the client can obtain to compress air. To achieve these commitment, FS-Elliott company need executes an user to change to the system transform, generally speaking, this means need carefully according to the special outline that has designed beforehand, will machine the impeller of compressor. Graph the scope magnitude of the impeller that 1 graphic representation should machine for place, what new grinding machine uses at the lamina inside this one limits is custom-built change abrade in the past, the outline of these special impeller needs to undertake machining through the method of turning. Use treatment of this kind of method, lathe tool can bump the lamina of impeller in succession, can imagine, this kind of cutting is like is most of the extreme interrupt type cutting treatment. Although such, but process designing moves and the greater distance of axis of X-Z of numerical control lathe or the external diameter appearance to obtain nicety provided a kind of effective means. Interrupt type cutting phenomenon to overcome, it is above all among impeller be full of olefin, what a sincere is just as when making it is machined in turning is cylindrical workpiece. After be over in treatment, fuse olefin from inside impeller again go out. This kind of craft looks not quite clean, but treatment is very effective. Why the factory used a kind of new technology recently, partial reason depends on olefin craft not quite clean. But olefin can produce an effect to the environment is the partial account that FS-Elliott company uses new technology only, FS-Elliott company basically is to want to be on the foundation of old method, create clean environment with more means. This is attributed to a when company of Max-Tek Superabrasive Machines offers to have the grinding machine of as similar as lathe route and process designing function even. This factory replaces turning craft to machine the outline that produces vane wheel through grinding craft now, use olefin fill craft to undertake machining no longer, the handling time that needs accordingly is less also. Now, the treatment rate of this one craft is very rapid, the factory already cannot make this new grinding machine holds busy working position. Although machine move to make to grinding treatment the making kind of core component produced the change of essential sex from turning, but the sense that FS-Elliott company uses a new student to produce technology surmounted this one change far. Even if the employee in the factory, now almost all is new face. 2004, this company lets his all manufacturing staff leave his post, the plant is new employ about 110 new employee. Nextpage realized employ of self-made production manager Mr William Turek a batch of new employee are caused as a result of the change of FS-Elliott company ownership. As a result of the relation of agreement of labour and capital, the employee of the factory still the boss before company of leech on to. The first year, below new ownership requirement, FS-Elliott company leased over there the boss from before this batch of existing workers. This kind of arrangement is cannot abiding, final, new boss also was determined to make a resolute decision in this respect. To Mr Turek, he kisses a major changes that saw a staff member, this is a times that is full of a challenge really. The experienced worker that he saw a lot of have experience walked out of the gate of this one company, but new beginning also means a tremendous opportunity. He can carry out brand-new craft and manufacturing process freely, also do not need to groom afresh again existing employee, also do not need to undertake progressively reform. Replacing turning with grinding is a very good example. Major change involves the new configuration of factory layout, still think afresh how to use all sorts of large machining center of this company. In addition, the factory begins to carry on former by outside assist the manufacturing task that the factory machines, namely from impeller " wool blank " begin to machine. Graph the 2 measure that adopt olefin fill and fixed lamina to differ in order to facilitate turning machines a basis before, impeller semifinished product can choose cast or the means of 5 axes treatment undertakes production. In the past, this kind of machine processes work by guest Xifaniya all round city Export area a few be engaged in 5 axes technically machining a supplier to assume. Now, major opportunity machines exercise to be assumed by this him factory. Here is newest the 5 axes that purchased machine tool wants to count Hemle company machining center. Mr Turek says, after our interior has this one process capability, make a factory more agile. It is easy to although the design should be changed in last minutes,also should compare the past much. Better is, the method that solves a problem through self-made, interior makes the factory resists the ability of exterior competition increases. He says: "If a competitor is stopped,buy the 5 axes that regard us as major servicing to process a product, how will we do? " but had at present so tremendous productivity, the situation is completely different, everybody cannot replace this kind of capacity. Without olefin treatment is in these spare partses, custom-built the appearance outline treatment that turn is the project of a treatment after leaning quite. Now, this one workpiece already used grinding treatment to replace the turning treatment previously, accordingly, a lot of problems that created because of olefin craft place in the past already not answer existed. Among them the influence that a problem is pair of environments, this also is a main problem. Lathe must week of every other 4~5 heavies repair, undertake be cleaninged in the round. And, the impeller that machines also must undertake be cleaninged thoroughly, because sheet relies on to fuse olefin still is insufficient, cannot keep clear of olefin in the round. If be on the spare parts bequeath a few olefin, also can cause the failure that impeller quality detects, affect its to glimmering irradiation shows a trial, because olefin can show a kind of break. Because need carefully cleanness, because craft of this olefin treatment already made a very time-consuming sophisticated technology. Graph the treatment means of 3 olefin fill makes lathe every other is about 45 weeks to undertake Nextpage used grinding craft to be solved be overhauled thoroughly and be cleaninged all these problems. Because the volume of emery wheel is larger, need not worry about the phenomenon that interrupts cutting, do not need to support with olefin fill between blade. But under certain circumstance, new machine tool also can produce a new issue, do not cross Mr Turek also already this problem translate into a new opportunity. This problem and examine about. The blade amount of every impeller is odd. This that is to say, impeller does not have entity on its appearance outline " diameter " . And after the following impeller is over in treatment, fill olefin is a smooth cylinder, because this workshop is OK very the spare parts external diameter after measuring treatment with a dial gauge conveniently. Now, serve as inserts without olefin, so how does the factory measure this kind of part? Everything what what do now to can continue to promote a plant works, mr Turek chose a kind of special means of settlement. He purchased coordinate of a movable type to measure machine, this machine contains Faro to measure an arm. This part that because it can be measured directly,just does not need any olefin to serve as filler (it is more some easier to had olefin to measure) , because he wants,add this kind of one measurement unit that the stage uses indoors for the company however. He knows very well appliance of this kind of measuring instrument has a lot of different functions, measure the effect wonderful, call in very easily cost. However, he should make this measuring instrument becomes a workshop to measure the standard craft of the spare parts above all, force employee people use this one instrument, and gradually they use nurturance the habit of this instrument. Now, the impeller majority detail that machines uses Faro to measure an arm to detect, is not use dial gauge and so on measure a tool. In addition, this one measurement unit also is applied at the outfit card of the spare parts to debug, also accelerated the rate of these 10 craft that hold card from this. It is OK now that operator applies this to measure an arm apace decides whether each workpiece has been on grinder proper take one's place. Prepare and await now, the treatment of impeller appearance outline already became a very fast unit process of cargo bandling. Of its speed fast because use olefin no longer,be not merely and reduced process, because primitive treatment is periodic,shorten however. Mr Turek says, the spare parts used turning to machine a likelihood to need to be as long as in the past the time of 7h or 8h, and use grinding treatment now, need the time of 25min only. Treatment speed is so apparent rise, brought about the busy circumstance that this one busy factory also cannot see past place is common again -- the machine tool is in the position that needs worker worker. Graph Mr 4 Matt Fulton is used measure an arm to detect workpiece, manufacturing manager Mr Turek still wants to will measure an arm to be used at the outfit card of the spare parts debug, once operate personnel to master adroitly to its, still can dig an a lot of other utility in fact, a lot of time are in grinder wait for labour to treat the condition of makings, be like it not to need service at all operator of a full-time. That operator Mr Matt Fulton that appears on article page photograph, its actually major while is spent was in on the management of horizontal machining center. Operate this one special grinding machine to resemble operating a lathe in that way enough, do not need the technical operator that groom and specializations. All cases are very good, new technology is OK apace machines impeller, without enough workload but fill is whole the job of the order. Accordingly, the working flow strategy that this factory used a kind to be used unlike place of other machine tool on this machine tool. On this machine tool, allow working accumulation. That that is to say, to use this grinding machine effectively, this factory should await 34 different impeller to be accumulated together at least. Operator is before this machine tool, process this batch of work immediately, leave this one machine tool next, farewell pursues other jobs to other machine tool. CNC Milling
