Mechanical Engineering Elements News 2020 - Monitor for Industrial Engineers

Industrial Engineers have to monitor engineering news every day to identify developments related to engineering elements that increase productivity and reduce cost. Many barriers to productivity will be solved by new developments in engineering. Industrial engineers have to identify the new engineering concepts as early as possible and incorporate them into engineering components, products, operations and processes for which they are the industrial engineers.

Industrial Engineers improve things for productivity by making engineering changes at element levels.

360º Revolution in Turning
High Dynamic Turning with FreeTurn standard range tooling makes it possible to carry out roughing, finishing, contour turning, face turning, longitudinal turning — all standard turning operations — with just one tool.

Instead of a static position of the insert in the holder, due to the rotation around its own tool axis, the cutting edge change can be done.  Additionally, the angle of approach is freely variable at any time, and can even be changed while cutting. This  enables flexible machining of almost every workpiece contour, optimal chip breaking, higher feed rates, and increased tool life.

Deburring  4140 alloy steel and other hard metals
For the most aggressive deburring or surface finishing the solution is a wheel brush that uses abrasive nylon filaments made of silicon carbide. Diamond grit can be used for the hardest metals and alloys in use today. The construction of  composite hub radial wheel brushes, provides a long-lasting wheel with less filament breakage, superior performance and cost reduction.

Component modeling productivity improvement with Altair SimLab
7 Feb 2020

The BMW Motorrad team was experiencing a typical turnaround time of between one and two weeks for outsourced engine component modeling. It acquired Altair SimLab solution and the work in-house on crankshaft modelling, and associated processes takes just 10 minutes. It previously took about an hour on a four-cylinder engine design. Thus company can now do more jobs inside in less time.

Basic Engineering Elements - Introduction

I liked a YouTube channel - Beginning Engineers.

There are interesting videos in it. One is on industrial engineering that starts with the statement that I promote. Industrial Engineering is System Efficiency Engineering.

I plan to give the links of the videos in this site in this blog. Industrial engineers have to understand the productivity implication of each engineering element and use that understanding to improve the productivity of resources and reduce the cost of products and processes.

Industrial Imager pinpoints compressed air leaks in minutes
30 July, 2019

Compressed air systems can lose a significant amount of air through leakage. - the average compressed air system loses 30% of its air through leaks. Locating those leaks has been a time-consuming and difficult process. Fluke says its ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager enables maintenance teams to quickly, and visually, pinpoint the location of compressed air, gas, and vacuum system leaks even during peak production periods. Leaks can be detected in a matter of minutes.

A metal sheet stamping simulation promises improved car part production
Kanazawa University  researchers came up with a novel way of reducing the twisting of metal sheets by optimizing the shape of the blank shape while also minimizing tearing and wrinkling of the metal sheet. They also simulated how much force to use to clamp the metal sheet in place in the so-called "blank holder" and how it should be varied during the punching process to achieve the best results.

Researchers Just 3D Printed The First-Ever Complete Heart Using Human Tissue

16 APR 2019


Scientists at Tel Aviv University have 3D printed a small rodent-sized  heart using human tissue that includes vessels, collagen, and biological molecules.  .

The technology is still many years out from developing a human working heart. The cells do not have  pumping ability. but  they can currently contract. The trial successfully engineered and printed an entire heart complete with cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers.  A  hydrogel from fatty tissues extracted from human test subjects was used to form bioinks used for 3D printing the heart.

The paper was published  in the journal Advanced Science.

Earlier, in 2017,   researchers at ETH Zurich created a 3D printed artificial heart. It was made using a flexible material.
