Machine Work Study

Industrial Engineers - Study Machine and Its Related Elements First. Then only Improve the Human Effort to Minimize it in Handling the Machine Controls, Tools and Work Pieces.


Machine work study is an important task in industrial engineering for improving productivity and reducing costs. F.W. Taylor has done it, provided a research treatise and also indicated that productivity improvement has to focus on machine related issues first before moving attention to operator related issues.

Kennametal, Record for maximum metal removal

02 October, 2018

Kennametal´s newest helical milling cutter in a roughing cut  in a block of Ti-6Al-4V titanium  ripped away more than 1000 cubic cm (61 cubic inches) of material in just one minute. The milling cutter is  Kennametal´s new HARVITM Ultra 8X helical milling cutter.  Using a 95 mm (3.74 in.) axial depth of cut, 20 mm (0.78 in.) radially, and a feedrate of 423 mm/min (16.65 ipm), the 80 mm (3.15 in.) diameter HARVI Ultra 8X cut through this aerospace superalloy for nearly three minutes.

The cutter was tested on other materials like 15-5 PH to cast iron to Aermet 100 (high strength steel).

For regular use,   HARVI Ultra 8X was designed to  remove 20 cubic inches (328 cm3) of Ti-6Al-4V each minute while attaining 60 minutes of tool life per cutting edge.

More Shops Take the ‘Through-Way’ for Coolant Applications
May 30, 2018 by Ilene Wolff - Contributing Editor
 TSC tools cost at least 50% more to make due to additional machining to create threaded holes for fittings, nozzles, manifolds, and in some cases numerous ports for the coolant because customers may want them at different places.

Renishaw Primo™ twin probe system

Installation of a Renishaw Primo™ twin probe system with Radio Part Setter and Radio 3D Tool Setter which has helped the company (SuMax Enterprises) reduce part set-up time by 90% and eliminate scrap (previously 12%) caused by machining.

Application: The Primo system helps in setting the steering worm shaft accurately for slot milling on a vertical machining centre. The  setting used to take 15 to 20 minutes whereas the actual machining time was five minutes. Use of the  Primo system eliminated the complex manual setting operation and reduced setting time to just two minutes (90% saving).

Improve Productivity with Digital Tooling Data
This system seamlessly interfaces cloud-enabled digital tooling data and intelligence with production, inventory, and e-commerce to optimize shop productivity.

Kennametal’s Novo digital process planning application supplies complete tool data (milling, turning, holemaking, tools, toolholders, spare parts, speeds and feeds, and more), saving hours of catalog lookups and process guesswork for process planners, parts estimators and manufacturing engineers. Now, through an interface with Machining Cloud GmbH, that same intelligence brings additional part design efficiency in CAD/CAM, cutting simulations, presetting, inventory management and e-commerce. Novosphere has been developed to help feed these real and potential process improvements back into the shop based on actual data gathered from the shop’s equipment.

Built around the shop’s needs, from quotation to inspection, Novosphere implements specific stages to increase productivity.
