Wong Hing Long Technologies Pte Ltd is a SME that specialises in sheet metal fabrication and precision engineering. One of the challenges that the company faced was the vibrations that occurred during the machining process. Productivity was adversely affected as the vibrations caused surface quality problems and failure to meet the surface tolerance level. The engineers were also unable to derive optimal cutting conditions to increase the productivity level, due to the complicated combination of the products' geometry, materials and tooling dynamics. Driven by the desire to improve production efficiency and product quality, the company worked with SIMTech on a Collaborative Industry Project (CIP). SIMTech solved the complex mechanism of milling dynamics by analysing tool run-out and the different dynamics of spindle systems. A quick milling vibration solver was developed and customised for engineers to prevent vibrationi issues and to optimise machining conditions. In addition, SIMTech also provided training and consultancy of the advanced machining technology to the company. By replacing the previous trial and error approach with the developed method, the company had seen significant improvements. Benefits
