Machine shops can consider 3D printing technology a handy way to make custom fixturing and other components. A little while back, I visited 3D Platform (3DP), located in Roscoe, Illinois, to learn more about the company and its affordable Workbench line of open, large-format 3D printers. Born from PBC Linear, manufacturer of linear motion components actuators and motors, 3DP offer its Workbench 3D printer with a printing build volume of 1 × 1 × 0.5 meter. The machine’s SurePrint servo technology enables print layer resolution a low as 70 microns for a range of materials including ABS, Nylon and others. Plus, a folding gantry enables the machine to fit through a standard-sized door.
This machine can be used for a variety of applications for printing prototypes, production parts, artwork and sculptures, and personalized items commonly derived from 3D scans often used in the medical, fashion, education and entertainment industries. That said, machine shops can also use it to print jigs, fixtures and other components. In fact, 3DP has done that for its own in-house production needs. For example, the company printed the profile rail wiper shown to the right for one of its machine tools. Although that machine has built-in rail surface wipers that push big steel chips off the rail surfaces, the wiper failed to catch smaller pieces that can be caught in between the rail and the ball bearing system, causing the ball bearing system to fail prematurely. The printed rail wiper added to the machine keeps small chips off the rail while helping retain oil and lubrication in the rail bearings. In addition, 3DP printed a thread rolling machine die holder that stores the entire set of thread rolling instruments conveniently in one place, supporting the company’s 5S workplace organization efforts. In fact, our sister publication, Additive Manufacturing (a magazine about additive manufacturing of functional parts), has a collection of articles describing similar ideas for 3D printing of tooling, fixtures, jigs and related items for use in a machine shop.

The manufacturing processes are much more streamlined and the tolerances are much tighter, but for the most part cylinders are still the hard working push/pull tools they have always been. These things have literally shaped the world around us. Anything that gets lifted, pushed, hauled, dumped, dug, crushed, drilled or graded has gotten that way by some truck, crane, dozer or tractor using a hydraulic cylinder. But how do hydraulic cylinders work? The amazing amount of force a cylinder exerts is due to the simple mechanical principle of pressure exerted on the surface area of the piston. Simply put, the larger the diameter of the cylinder, the more it will lift. The formula for this is Area X PSI (Pounds per square inch) = Force. The PISTON is inside the cylinder, the diameter of which is known as the BORE. OK, Technically, the the bore is the inside diameter of the tubing but this difference is of minor significance. The piston needs a piston seal to keep the pressure from bypassing to the other side, which allows it to build the required pressure (If a cylinder isn’t lifting the force it should, the piston seal is probably worn). The piston is attached to the ROD (or shaft) of the cylinder, usually with the rod passing through the piston and attached with a large nut on the opposite end. To correctly calculate the pulling force of a cylinder, the surface area of the rod must be subtracted from the formula. The rod is probably the hardest worked component in the whole system. The rod is the largest single chunk of steel in the cylinder, unpainted and exposed to all the elements. It has to be extremely strong (to resist bending), exceptionally hard (to resist corrosion and pitting), and smooth as silk (to keep the rod seals intact to prevent leakage of fluid and pressure). The STROKE of the cylinder is the total travel possible from the fully retracted length and the fully extended length of the rod. The GLAND or “head” of the cylinder is the part that the cylinder rod extends and retracts through. It contains the rod seals & the wiper seal which keeps contamination out of the cylinder.
The BUTT is the base or “cap” end. This end usually can use a variety of attachment points. Speaking of attachments, how do cylinders attach to their implement? Usually by using a CLEVIS, CROSS TUBE, PIN-EYE or TANG. Most commercially available cylinders are double-acting which means they have ports on each end and they are used to push AND pull. These are easy to convert to single-acting (push or pull only) by using a simple breather device to allow the air on the unused side to be expelled. Source: HYDRAULICONLINE.COM Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., the world’s biggest maker of giant excavators, has offered 689 million Australian dollars ($529 million) to buy Australia’s Bradken Ltd. The purchase would be its biggest ever and is likely to boost profit by about 10 percent, Nomura Securities Co. said.
The Tokyo-based company said Monday it is offering AU$3.25 a share. The acquisition will enable Hitachi Construction to supplement its parts business for mining equipment and boost earnings, according to a statement. The announcement comes about two months after its larger domestic rival, Komatsu Ltd., agreed to buy U.S.-based Joy Global Inc. for $2.89 billion, signaling the company’s optimism that demand for diggers and loaders will rebound after years of declining commodity prices. Bradken “appears to have a degree of competitiveness and profitability, raising the possibility of relatively stable profits as and when sharp corrections in demand for mining machinery come to an end,” Katsushi Saito, managing director of Nomura Securities, said in a report dated Oct. 3. The No. 1 priority will be to successfully complete the restructuring process at Bradken, he added. Bradken, founded in 1922, produces excavator parts to mineral crushing equipment. It announced in August it would streamline units and consider divesting noncore businesses. Nomura calculates the deal will boost Hitachi Construction’s earnings per share by about 10 percent for the financial year through March 2018. The purchase will create synergies worth more than ¥20 billion in five to six years, Chief Executive Officer Yuichi Tsujimoto told a briefing. While the company does not expect a demand recovery for mining equipment this fiscal year, it sees mid- to long-term growth in the sector. Hitachi Construction plans to start a tender offer for Bradken for six weeks from mid- to late-October, according to its statement. The Australian company last year rejected a AU$428 million offer from Koch Industries Inc. and Pacific Equity Partners, saying it did not reflect its fair value. The Japanese company will use funds on hand as well as bank borrowing to finance the acquisition, which includes Bradken’s debt of AU$288 million. Hitachi Construction will also provide an interim AU$450 million credit facility if existing debt provisions are affected by the change in control, according to a statement from the Australian company. The deal is subject to regulatory approvals. Hitachi Construction, half owned by conglomerate Hitachi Ltd., is Japan’s second-biggest maker of construction and mining equipment and has the biggest global share of giant excavators used in mining.
