Top 5 Metal Cutting Machines


The ways in which metal can be cut, are largely classified into 3 types, laser method, by using machinery or by using hand tools. Depending on how the expected outcome and the size of the metal that has to be cut, the method of cutting is used. Laser technology and usage of hand tools are methods that are used in extreme points. So using machinery to cut iron is the most widely and commonly used method to cut machinery.
Metal Cutting Machines
Methods:
Different products require different levels of smoothness of the surface. So depending on that different techniques are employed to cut the metals using machinery. The methods are as follows
·         Grinder: This method is employed when the surface of the product needs to be extremely smooth. The surface of a rough iron mold is rough, so they choose to grind with an abrasive tool that will even out the surface and make it smooth
·         Lathe and Punch: Lathe and Punch both aim at cutting the material into the desired shape but the techniques employed are different. While in lathe employs a sharp tool to carry out the process, in the punch method an extreme amount of pressure is applied to get the iron to a proper shape.
·         Water jet: As the name self-suggests, plain water or water mixed with abrasive compound are gushed onto the surface of the iron at a pressure point that cut the metal into pieces.
·         Flame and Plasma: There is not much of a difference between Flame and Plasma and Waterjet. In waterjet, water is used whereas in Flame, and Plasma flammable gas is used to cut the metal.

The Best 5 Metal cutters are listed below:
Oxy-Fuel Cutting:
Oxy fuel is largely used in cases where the cutting process demands a high level of accuracy as in cutting metal pipes below the ground level. Under this method heat and gas is spewed at the right mixture to make the cutting process easier. Also the flame and as flow in cross-sections so that the gas and heat come out at the right flame
Plasma cutters:
Though they aren’t as accurate as laser cutting, they are to great extent reliable depending on the thickness of the material that has to be cut. The Plasma Cutters are accurate to the extent to which simple measurements are required however the laser takes over when in-depth measurements that demand a maximum level of accuracy are required.
Laser Cutters:
As stated earlier, if a job demands a high level of accuracy the only option that serves the purpose is laser cutting. Laser cutting is one among the advanced techniques that have proven to be highly useful as far as cutting metal are concerned. A beam of light that is no larger than a line is emitted out of these laser machines that cut the metal into pieces. The heat that accompanies the light is above the melting point of the metal.
Laser cutting is the major technology used in metal cutting. They are further classified into two:
CO2 Laser Cutters:
CO2 Laser Cutters include ‘Fastlacer’ technologies that increase the speed of cut, improved the plate capacity and cut quality range. The machine emits gas along with heat, and the light emitted matches the gas flow geometry.
Fibre Laser Cutters:
In Fibre Laser Cutters the cutters emit fiber optic rays, and these cutters are available in 12 different models. Also, the cutters come as single point laser cutters and multi-point laser cutters.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
