Bearing techniques producer Eurobearings has deployed a Meltio Engine Robotic Integration inside its manufacturing workflow.
Putting in the Directed Power Deposition (DED) functionality at its Italian manufacturing facility, Eurobearings has paired the aptitude with a KUKA industrial robotic. Mounted on a cell walkway or gantry, the system is claimed to offer elevated mobility and a capability for big half sizes and geometries.
Per Meltio, Eurobearings has achieved a discount in lead occasions of between 30 to 50% for complicated elements by ‘printing direct to half and minimising subsequent machining levels.’ Meltio’s DED know-how permits near-net-shape printing, which helps to streamline the manufacturing workflow and cut back uncooked materials consumption. Practically each gram of fabric is used within the closing half, in response to Meltio, which helps to considerably decrease the general value per half.
In the meantime, Eurobearings can be deploying the DED functionality to restore worn elements, extending element lifecycles and delivering value financial savings.
Having deployed the Meltio Engine Robotic Integration, Eurobearings is claimed to have produced turbine elements that constantly meet the rigorous high quality requirements of the vitality sector, whereas delivering customised engineering options for high-performance equipment within the marine and defence industries. It has additionally leveraged the know-how for the manufacture and restoration of bearing sneakers that endure extraordinarily heavy masses, supporting prospects in cement and rolling mills.
