Maximice la capacidad de refrigeración de su línea de extrusión

Jim Frankland | Plastics Technology México

Cuando la carga térmica supera la capacidad disponible, la refrigeración limita la producción en extrusión. El rendimiento depende del calor específico del polímero, del caudal de agua y del flujo turbulento medido mediante el número de Reynolds. ¿La capacidad de refrigeración limita realmente su línea?

Por qué operaciones de torneado similares entregan resultados distintos

Ángela Andrea Castro | Modern Machine Shop México

La presión por mantener la estabilidad en el torneado continuo expone límites técnicos relacionados con la vibración, el calor, el control de la viruta y el desgaste de las herramientas. Las plataformas CNC, la automatización y la arquitectura de máquina inciden en estas variables, aunque con alcances condicionados por el diseño estructural y el control del proceso.
