Innovative Machining of advanced materials

Innovation in manufacturing plays a key role in reducing the industry’s environmental impact. Recent advances in non-classical manufacturing technologies, such as ultrashort pulsed laser manufacturing, open doors to new opportunities, reconciling cost considerations and environmental impact. Sirris has acquired the know-how and infrastructure to create with this laser technology novel surface textures, that often surpass the performance of classical coatings. Check out our comparative overview!

The use of (real-time) data to adjust production processes - in machining the term is 'adaptive machining' - is the future of production. This is made possible by the increased availability of sensors. However, everything depends on having and understanding a standardised and structured model, in which the digital information is processed into a physical action. Such models are the key to successful digitalisation. In a series of blog posts, we highlight some basic models. In this third part, we look at a model for calculating the cutting force: the Kienzle formula.
