  When it comes to manufacturing, the tooling process is unquestionably important. However, there are a number of businesses that are unsure about the optimum method of manufacturing and what they should be paying for. This post will address some of the most often asked questions about tooling, Tool Making , such as the nature of the process, why it is necessary, and how much it costs.     Tooling for every purpose   However, the notion of tooling is straightforward. The process entails creating and developing the tools required to mold certain parts or modules during the course of manufacturing a product. Cutting tools for pulverizing and milling machines, work handling tools such as jolts and cogs, welding, and inspection gears are among the most prevalent forms of tooling.   Accuracy and characteristics of the tooling   When it comes to why tooling is important, everything is dependent on the accuracy and characteristics of the tooling....

Electrofusion welding is a type of resistance welding that is becoming increasingly popular. It is used a lot to join polyethylene pipes, pipe fittings, and polypropylene pipes. When you hear the word "electrofusion," you know that this type of welding uses electric current to join and strengthen lines. In particular, metal coils are put on both ends of the pipes. When an electric current is run through the waves, they heat up because of the resistance. When the part of the melting pipe fitting becomes solid, the two pipes are joined together well and firmly. Let's know about Electrofusion in detail! Where is electrofusion welding used? Electrofusion welding is used in many industries because it is often used to join pipes made of polymer materials. One of them is the gas industry. Since polyethylene pipes are also used in the oil and water industries, electrofusion welding is also used in those fields. Electrofusion welding is also used in mining, building infrastructur...

The goal of the product design approach known as “Design for Manufacturing" is to produce better designs at a lower cost by carefully choosing materials and manufacturing procedures. DFM aids in the analysis of various aspects of design and manufacturing processes in the context of numerous prudent principles. It offers fresh concepts and methods to change product design in a way that is advantageous to all parties concerned (designer, manufacturer, and customer). DFM Principles We will learn about the various areas in which the designer must concentrate when producing a DFM-friendly product in this section. By improving each of those components, you can make the product as a whole the best it can be. These five focus areas are Process, Design, Material, Environment, and Compliance/Testing. Let's learn about them in detail. 1. Process You want a manufacturing procedure that will do the job efficiently and affordably. The group will evaluate what will satisfy those two req...

Electrofusion is a method of joining two polyethene or plastic pipes with the help of electrical energy. It is one of the most popular and simple methods used by many plumbers. There are various methods for pipe joining, like butt fusion, but the easiest and most convenient way is electrofusion only. A special technique is used in this method to join the conduits. A proper process is followed for joining the pipes. Let us discuss more this. What is the procedure of electrofusion ? Before you get your hand in this procedure, you should have all the essential parts required. This process will only be successful when you have the materials in your hand. Here are some tools needed: Pipes you want to joint A clean cloth Electrofusion fitting/control unit Pipe clamps A marker pen A measuring tape Rotatory-scarper Procedure of electrofusion STEP NO. 1- You have to prepare everything before starting the work. The first step that comes is the cleaning of your particulars. Any dust or debris ca...

To get to the final product, plastic injection moldings are frequently machined or joined with additional components. There are a variety of methods for combining plastic parts, but sonic welding is a fast, clean, and effective way to join plastic pieces with a strong and lasting bond. Ultrasonic welding, vibration welding, and spin welding are all examples of friction welding processes. All of these ways work on the same basic premise: friction creates heat, which melts the plastic at the connection. The most common approach, ultrasonic welding, uses ultrasonic energy to create surface and intermolecular friction, which generates heat and, in turn, forms a weld. Most thermoplastics are suitable for ultrasonic welding. Amorphous polymers are good for ultrasonically welding; semi-crystalline polymers, on the other hand, are more difficult to weld. Brief About Sonic Weld Sonic Weld also known as Ultrasonic Welding (USW) is a welding technology that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrati...

Over the past decades, the use of lightweight alternatives has increased. People are more dependent on plastics these days, from the aerospace industry to the electronics and automotive industry. Plastics offer good mechanical properties, and mainly it is lighter in weight. Designers need to be certain while designing plastic as it is more sensitive than the other strong metals. Molding is the most commonly used manufacturing process. It is the best way to produce the parts quickly and cost-effectively. Various designs need to be careful of. Below are given some of the design details. Radius While doing injection molding, the radius is the most important thing to keep in mind. All parts should have generously rounded corners to ease the plastic flow. The radius you are choosing should be in the regard to part thickness and eliminates the high-stress concentration and result in breakage of the plastic part. Thickness of wall While you are molding the plastic, always keep in mind the wal...

It is a popular welding method used to join high and medium-density polyethene piping. It can also be found on various plastic-based pipes. Electrofusion welds parts together using special fittings with built-in electric heating components. The ends of the pipes that will be welded are cleansed to begin the operation. They're then inserted into the electrofusion fitting, and voltage is supplied to the connection to fuse it—the heating coils melt the pipe wall and the fitting on the outside. A strong homogenous joint is formed after the assembly cools. If done correctly, the connection will be as robust as the original pipe and will be able to sustain all of the loads required for standard installation. Equipment: Electrofusion welding necessitates the use of specific equipment. Before welding, these items should be prepared. The welding process will not be disrupted in this way. The electrofusion welding equipment includes a scraping tool, measuring instrument, mark pen, cutting t...
