Better service- From tool manufacturer

After a period of time, some are only responsible for purchasing the tool management project has been eliminated, because technology vendors can not provide tools, services, some reasons of failure is that they attempt to put the tool service with high technology is the use of standardized practices. These commercial operation based tool management did not reach the expected the effect, companies had to abandon such cooperation. Summarizes the lessons of failure, some high-tech manufacturing enterprises realize tool manufacturer is the right partner of tool management, the enterprise must choose the correct business tool management services according to their own needs.

Supplier can provide modular tool management services, through the service structure of the module, all can meet the different requirements of customers. In the tool management system framework, a tool for tool management, purchasing and warehousing, testing new development tools, application and engineering of each service module.

The application contains each process optimization technology process; project task is in accordance with the drawings of all parts of the machining process of cutting tool design, configuration; processing engineering including processing and process optimization of processing and developing new application.

The acceptance and implementation of tool management project, the key point is to serve is the production process of existing or completely new. For an existing production line implementation of tool management project, must overcome from the internal resistance, should be fully demonstrated, and before and after the implementation of the project cost management tool detailed comparison.

New type of service-Tool management

Tool management is suitable for their business? To answer this question, we must first find out the tool management meaning. Generally, the tool in whole or in part by another enterprise supply, the companies only bear the responsibility for the supply of modern tool. The tool management purpose is much broader, it include increased productivity reduce the tool, the total cost and the necessary funds, reduce the number of tool suppliers, reduce processing costs and other aspects.

Put forward the main purpose is to improve the tool outsourcing supply purchasing and inventory status, so there is a business tool management service business, but they lack the understanding of the importance of the tool, the tool like gloves as management. In fact, the parts processing process needs to continue to provide modern tools of proprietary technology.

After a period of time, some are only responsible for purchasing the tool management project has been eliminated, because technology vendors can not provide tools, services, some reasons of failure is that they attempt to put the tool service with high technology is the use of standardized practices.

Summarizes the lessons of failure, some high-tech manufacturing enterprises realize tool manufacturer is the right partner of tool management, the enterprise must choose the correct business tool management services according to their own needs.

Improving the tool life – selecting geometry parameters

The wear rate is slower, the tool life is higher, so the factors that influence the tool wear will affect the durability of cutting tools, and tool life is an important symbol to measure the cutting performance. So we need to analyze factors affecting the tool life, so as to effectively control the relationship between these factors, in order to get a reasonable tool life, the cutting tool has better performance.

Selection method

The first method is based on the principle of minimum single workpiece to develop durability, known as the highest productivity durability of Tp; the second method is based on the principle of minimum cost to make each workpiece durability, known as the lowest cost durability of Tc; the third method is based on the unit of time obtained the biggest profit to make durable is called the maximum profit durability of Tpr.

According to the analysis, the following relationships exist between the three durability factors, that is, the Tp selection factor.

For manufacturing and grinding tool is relatively simple, the cost is not high, such as turning, drilling, durability can be set low point; on the other hand, such as cutter, broach and gear cutting tool durability should be like, is a little higher.

For pocket knife, multi tool machine tool change and adjustable complex, modular machine tool and automatic machining tool, durability should be higher. Machine clip tool change time turning and ceramic cutting tools is short, can choose low durability.

The key to meet the production rhythm, in order to make the workshop production balance, the durability of the process should be low; when sharing one process per unit of time cost is larger, the durability of cutting tools should be low.

In order to avoid changing knives during the process of machining the same surface, the durability should be higher, and at least one knife should be completed

Production line tool durability should be stipulated as one or two classes, so as to be able to change the knife at the end of the shift.

Multi-Material drill bits

Calloy Tools introduced a full line of multi-material drill bits for drilling through brick, block, tile, metal, wood, laminate, plastic, and marble and more.

 

The bits will even drill through multiple materials at the same time, the company says. They have a unique diamond-ground, four-facet carbide tip with super-sharp cutting edges that guarantee centered starts with no walking, fast drilling, and excellent hole quality. The versatile bits have a double-milled flute that removes dust and debris quickly and efficiently, which not only increases drilling speed (with no clogging), but results in longer bit life as well. These bits are built tough for hammer drilling, but recommended for use in rotary mode.

 

“For more than 20 years, Calloy has been engineering and manufacturing all types of drill bits,” said Director of Marketing for Calloy Tools. “We literally talk to hundreds of professional tradesmen each year, simply to learn what’s most important to them on the jobsite. They repeatedly express frustration with having to carry around multiple types of drill bits, and switch out bits depending on a particular material they need to drill into at any given time. It’s time consuming and discouraging.”

 

With Calloy’s new multi-material bits, tradesmen can drill through all sorts of materials with a single bit. These bits even drill through multiple materials at the same time. For instance, when drilling through a tile floor, there’s more than just the tile. There’s also a backer board and a sub-floor or concrete slab. With a kitchen backsplash, there’s tile, backer board, drywall, and possibly a wood stud. These bits will drill right through every layer of building materials. There isn’t a skilled tradesman on the planet who won’t appreciate having these bits in his toolbox.

 

Calloytool Multi-Material drill bits are compatible with all standard 1/2″ and 3/8” chuck drills. They are available in 3- to 5-inch jobber lengths and 16-inch extended length, with diameters ranging from 1/8 to 1/2 inches. They can be found at home centers, hardware stores, and construction and industrial tool distributors throughout the U.S. and Canada. The suggested retail price ranges from $3.99 to $20.99, depending on length and diameter.
