solution speeds threading-in times by an order of magnitude, and increases machining accuracy to DIN class 3!
December 10, 2013 ---- Today, NUM has announced a high performance CNC solution for gear production machines that fully automates threaded wheel grinding. Incorporating unique high speed gear alignment technology that is believed to be an order of magnitude faster than comparable control schemes, the new CNC system dramatically reduces grinding machine threading-in times to accelerate throughput significantly. The comprehensive new solution is ideal for machine tool manufacturers seeking to improve the performance of their gear production machines, or to help companies expand their gear manufacturing range with threaded wheel grinders.
Based on NUM's new-generation Flexium+ CNC platform, the threaded wheel grinding solution joins the company's NUMgear suite of gear production software. Originally developed for gear hobbing applications, the capability of NUMgear has been continually extended and now includes solutions for a broad range of gear manufacturing processes, including shaping, grinding and honing, and is used by many of the world's foremost manufacturers of gear production machines.
NUM developed the latest addition to its NUMgear portfolio while helping an Asian gear manufacturing machine company to improve the performance of a prototype threaded wheel grinder. To improve grinding speed compared with current levels, NUM decided it needed to develop custom technology software. The principal aims were to reduce the time overhead of learning the teeth positions of the hardened gear prior to grinding, and improve the accuracy of the gear grinding process.
NUM's new product offers a comprehensive CNC solution for gear manufacturing machines. At the heart of the system is a high performance electronic gearbox that allows all master axes - such as the grinding, X, Y and Z axes - and the spindle (C axis) to be fully synchronized. As part of the development work on the new threaded wheel grinder, NUM has added a major new capability to the gearbox, which is now able to predict the acceleration of axes as well as their speed, in order to minimize synchronization time. Together with the Fast Gear Alignment, it forms part of the new NUMgear threaded wheel grinding application.
During gear production, 'threading-in' - the process of bringing the grinding wheel into contact with the gear blank - involves continuously adjusting the position of the grinding wheel relative to the work piece. A similar process is employed when bringing the machine's dressing wheel into contact with the grinding wheel. Using acoustic emission sensors to learn the sound signatures of a master gear and then using them to control positioning during production runs is a common technique for automating processes like this. However, the speed and accuracy of NUM's newly-developed Fast Gear Alignment Function eliminates the need for this entirely. As an example, aligning the grinding wheel with a 180 mm diameter gear with 71 helical teeth takes just 0.5 of a second - without any need to acquire acoustic signatures or make manual adjustments.
A second aim of NUM's development required that the gear grinder CNC control should generate gears as accurately as possible. The latest machine from NUM's Asian customer produced gears with a tooth profile quality of DIN class 7. During the development process, NUM found that the diamond plated dressing wheel did not come up to specification. To overcome this problem without incurring major tooling costs, NUM decided to support their customer by helping to modify the technology programs. The positive results of this action far exceeded expectations, and NUM's solution can help a machine to consistently grind gear teeth profiles to within 3.5 microns, comfortably achieving DIN class 3 - an improvement of four class levels.
The latest gear grinding development is an example of one of the major principles underpinning NUM's business philosophy: a willingness to customize its CNC technology for machine makers. NUM supports this with a decentralized R&D structure which locates engineering staff around the world to allow it to work closely with machine builders. In this case, the new gear grinding solution was jointly developed by NUM's HQ in Switzerland and the company's technology centre in Chanzhou, China, which is close to many major gear manufacturing machine builders and is currently undergoing major expansion.
"NUM is committed to helping its customers develop market-leading machines through close partnership", according to Peter von Rüti, CEO of NUM Group. "Our local presence and willingness to work directly with customers to resolve technical issues very quickly provides both parties with a key competitive advantage."
NUM is one of the longest established players in the CNC market, having brought out its first numerical controller in 1961. Expansion in Asia has become promising for NUM as Asian manufacturers have progressively improved the capabilities and quality of their machines. To support this development, NUM is currently making significant investments in its Asian infrastructure, including the recent opening of a new regional support centre in Seoul, South Korea, and the expansion of its technology centre in Chanzhou, China, which opened in 2010.
Peter von Rüti points out that the European market for NUM and its partners is also promising. "NUM's ability to create individual solutions for different machines provides medium-sized companies with a huge competitive advantage. The open and flexible nature of our products, and our decentralized development structure, combined with the know-how of our customers, provides unique market opportunities. We welcome the chance to become involved in new projects."
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
