The role of the lead screw

lead screw

The role of the lead screw, especially ball screws, is vital in mechanical systems. They convert rotary motion to linear motion with high efficiency, precision, and load capacity, making them essential in CNC machines, automation systems, and other industrial applications. Welleshaft specializes in manufacturing high-performance lead screws tailored to meet these demanding requirements. 1. Motion conversion: The main function of the lead screw is to achieve the conversion of the form of motion, which can convert the rotating motion into a linear motion, or vice versa. This property is very useful in mechanical design, especially where linear displacement is required. 2. High transmission efficiency: By introducing steel balls, the ball […]

Sand Printing:Processes,Materials,Benefits,Applications

Sand-Printing-additive-manufacturing

What is 3D Sand Printing and How Does it Work? 3D Sand Printing is an advanced additive manufacturing technique used to create sand molds and cores for casting metal components. Unlike traditional sand casting, which involves manually creating molds, 3D sand printing automates this process, significantly enhancing precision and reducing production times. How Does 3D Sand Printing Work? Design: The process begins with a 3D CAD model of the part to be cast. This digital model is created using CAD software, which allows for precise control over the design. Preparation: The 3D model is then converted into a format compatible with the 3D printer, typically an STL file. The design […]

Aluminum Machining: processes, benefits, methods,features

CNC Machining of Aluminium

What is the Aluminium CNC Machining Processes? You can perform aluminum machining using various CNC machining processes available today. Some of these processes include: CNC Turning: In CNC turning operations, the workpiece rotates, while the single-point cutting tool stays stationary along its axis. Depending on the machine, either the workpiece or the cutting tool carries out feed motion against the other in order to achieve material removal. CNC Milling: CNC Milling operations are the most commonly used in machining aluminium parts. These operations involve the rotation of a multi-point cutting along its axis, while the workpiece stays stationary along its own axis. The cutting tool, the workpiece, or both move to […]
