Thu 24 October 2024 11:12:00 +0100 http://irt3000.si/novice/2024102511504326/ Downstream inspection and rework accounts for about 50 per cent of the TIG welding cost on average. With stricter quality standards, the proportion of these work steps quickly increases to two thirds of the production process because tighter inspection cycles and more elaborate repair welding may be required. The effort can be considerably reduced through the selection of the inert gas parameters. However, these factors can usually be evaluated only based on their effects. A correction is possible at best for the next work piece and may necessitate changes to other process factors. Streak methods can help determine the inert gas parameters in a timely manner. However, precise imaging methods have been used exclusively in academic research to date. Their transfer to industrial practice was hardly feasible. Wolfram Industrie has built a bridge across this seemingly insurmountable chasm between industry and research. Through a combination of streak methods and sensor measurements, Wolfram Industrie in its Swiss welding laboratory offers development services and consulting to optimise the TIG welding process especially for industrial applications.

While the clothing industry has doubled production in the last 15 years, the time garments are worn has fallen by more than 30%. At the same time, the rising demand for low-cost fast fashion is driving a decline in the quality of the materials, which makes them more difficult to re-use or recycle. According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, it is estimated that 114 million tonnes of textile waste are generated every year. Of the clothing that is collected for recycling, 12% is downcycled into lower-value applications such as insulation material, and less than 1% is used to make new clothing in a closed-loop circular economy. The high content of polyester in fast fashion also means that an increasing quantity of discarded textiles are incinerated in waste-to-energy plants because of its high calorific value.

However, comprehensive measurement of these tiny tools with diameters of less than one millimetre is not possible. With current measurement methods - including attempts to measure the tools using microscopy – the human factor usually poses the greatest risk of error. In addition, some measurements require the destruction of the tool, for example when measuring the rake angle of tools with face geometry. \"Manufacturers must then hope that the other identical tools correspond to the one measured. There is no proof,\" explains Bernd Schwennig, who is responsible for product management metrology at WALTER.

Fri 15 January 2021 06:30:00 +0100 http://irt3000.si/novice/2021011311364251/ The way a twin-shaft shredding unit works is fairly simple: two tools moving in opposite directions draw in the collected waste material for shredding and crush it all together into smaller pieces. If it is purely about volume reduction, for example for easier transport, this can be achieved with conventionally designed shafts. Some applications, however, require specific particle sizes for their processes. Plants that recover energy from waste wood, for example, are usually designed with a standardised particle size in mind. Oversized particles in the material stream can block the conveyors or safety systems such as rotary valves. In addition, too many fines negatively affect combustion and very small particles might lead to lumps jamming the facility.
