Commercial Gas Griddles Advantages & Things to Look Out For

A rectangular metal device that absorbs heat from burners or other materials under the plate is known as a commercial gas griddle. These are best for preparing delicacies that require a flat surface and even cooking. They develop a beautiful brown effect on the food item's upper layer, thus impressing your customers with your culinary skills.

Benefits of these Appliances

These grills provide the most vital benefit of evenly distributed heat circulation. While it is true that the thick plates get heated in significantly more time, they remain heated for a long time and thereby provides you multiple benefits for the product. Conversely, the thin ones require considerably less time to get heated for cooking. If you also have a similar requirement, visit Simco - the top commercial gas griddles supplier in Sydney & Perth, among others.

Benefits Other Than the One Mentioned Above

Takes Significantly Lesser Time Cooking

Suppose you have less time on your hand and wants to prepare multiple cuisines in a short period. In that case, The commercial gas griddles help you cook various dishes quickly by allowing you to cook the entire spread on a single piece of equipment. So whether it is the whole lunch/dinner menu or preparing various food items simultaneously, this equipment is the best.

Expert in Varied Cuisines

Though another name for these devices is flat-top grills, these appliances are so Surface Milling Inserts effective that you can try your hand in preparing almost any cuisine with the help of specific factors.

Takes Care of Your Health

If you care about your health, then these gas appliances are the most suitable for you. This kind of appliance does not need large amounts of oil for cooking. Therefore, it allows the natural fats from food to disburse and distribute into the grease traps. Simco provides the top grills in the market & is the best commercial gas griddles supplier in Brisbane & Melbourne.

Better Communal Experience

If you want to enjoy a gathering and partake in an incredible communal experience, buying a gas appliance is the best thing you can do. Assimilating all your guests for a great cooking session around a grill is a sure-shot CNC Inserts way to get everyone to take part in & enjoy the parties hosted in your courtyard. Having so many guests mean that you have to prepare a meal in higher quantities than usual, and Simco has your back in such situations.

Things to Lookout for While Buying Commercial Gas Griddles

Plate Thickness

The thickness of your plate is another essential component that can affect your buying of the equipment. A thicker plate would be suitable for you if you intend to use the commercial gas griddles regularly. But if you plan to use the grill mainly for preparing breakfast cuisine, you can easily choose a thinner plate. The main disparity between these two is that thick plates can withstand heavy use and store much more heat. Conversely, the thinner plates take a significantly longer time to get heated, resulting in extra cooking time. Therefore, you need to choose your desired plate very carefully.

Size of Griddle

One of the crucial things to consider is the appropriate size of your appliance. The size needed by your kitchen will be based on the food quantity and the total customer count. If you plan to determine the precise size of your kitchen grill, find out the cuisines you have to put on the equipment to serve your customers efficiently. You will not need a massive appliance if you intend to cook only a few food items, such as items catering only to breakfast. But you will need a more size-appropriate grill for more lavish spreads. Another essential thing to consider is the available space you have with you & whether your kitchen needs a light model or heavy usage.

Options of Control

The commercial gas griddles consist of two dominant controls. They are Manual controls and Thermostatic controls. While the manual controls consist of fundamental functions and have low, high and medium settings, you can choose thermostatic controls for selecting a particular temperature. The thermostatic controls are more expensive for obvious reasons, but if you cook those food items that require a specific temperature, you need to opt for this option.

Grill Surface Material

Once you decide on the size, you also need to consider its surface material. However, what you need to choose is obvious. Stainless steel plates are the best option, as these grills prevent and resist scratches & dents. Therefore most of the food preparation setups opt for stainless steel.

AMT, USCTI Unveil New Market Intelligence Tool

AMT—the Association For Manufacturing Technology and the U.S. Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI) are collaborating on a VBMT Insert new monthly data release that tracks an important index of manufacturing activity: cutting tool consumption. Given that cutting tools are the prime consumable in the manufacturing process, this analysis can provide a true measure of actual production and serve as a valuable leading indicator of future U.S. manufacturing activity, the organizations say.

Released August 14, the first iteration of the Cutting Tool Market Report (CTMR) shows that cutting tool consumption declined in June. Still, USCTI’s president expressed reason for optimism throughout the rest of the year.

The CTMR is only the latest resource for tracking industry performance. For its part, AMT also produces the United States Manufacturing Technology Orders (USMTO) report, which provides regional and national U.S. orders data of domestic and imported TCMT Insert machine tools and related equipment. Also, be sure to check out the wealth of economic data and research from MMS publisher Gardner Business Media, including the economics blog, the Capital Spending Survey, and the World Machine Tool Output and Consumption Survey.

Cutting Tools For High Speed Milling Of Aluminum

The faster you mill a pocket in a billet of any of the commonly machined aluminum alloys, the more important it is for the cutting tool to provide a wide and easy path for the chip to escape. Lathe Inserts In fact, tools that have fewer flutes tend to be more productive for this very reason—the wider flute spacing provides more clearance. High speed machining of aluminum is one application in which a one-flute end mill may actually be the most productive.

Netherlands-based Seco-Jabro Tools supplies a one-flute solid carbide end mill. Seco-Jabro’s U.S. agent, Seco-Tesco (Hayes, Virginia), has provided much of the tooling that performs well in Metlfab’s new-from-the-ground-up process for high speed machining of aluminum (detailed in the article under "Editor Picks" at right). Metlfab did not choose the one-flute tool; the asymmetrical cutter demands off-line balancing for use at high spindle speeds, and the shop didn’t want to implement this extra step. However, the design of a Seco-Jabro two-flute tool used at Metlfab illustrates some of the same features. Eric Gardner, Seco-Tesco’s product manager for milling, explains how the tool design assists in milling aluminum rapidly.

Chip flow is paramount, he says. In high speed machining of other materials—most notably the tool steels that figure into die/mold applications—a major challenge is the heat. In high speed machining of aluminum, by contrast, a major challenge is the tendency of the soft material to adhere to the cutting edge. The die/mold high speed machining end mill may use a coating that acts as a thermal barrier. However, if the end mill for aluminum uses a coating at all, it is likely to use one chosen more for its lubricity than for its thermal effect. More significantly, the geometry of the tool facilitates chip flow—essentially by keeping the tool out of the chip’s way.

For example, the flute design avoids sudden changes in the path of the chip. In this, the flute follows a principal similar to that of the tool path in high speed machining. While the tool path for high feed rates features rounded corners and gradual changes in direction to avoid shocking the tool, the tool that mills aluminum at high speeds features a smooth rake face and a somewhat slower helix for a similar reason—to avoid sharp transitions that might impede the movement of the chip.

The tool also features deep flutes that provide the chip with gullies that are more open. The value of this clearance for the chip is the reason why a one-flute tool may be successful. Having just one flute allows the gully corresponding to the flute to be ground past the tool’s centerline—a feature that can allow the 13-mm version of this tool to operate at a feed of 0.060 ipt, Mr. Gardner says. A two-flute tool obviously can’t permit so much flute clearance, but the two-flute end mill used in aluminum might have gullies so deep that the core of the tool accounts for only 20 percent of the tool’s diameter.

Such a tool may appear too delicate for high metal removal rates. Appearances can be deceiving, however. Mr. Gardner says a more conventional tool that appears more solid is likely to trap aluminum chips quickly, therefore performing bar peeling inserts much less effectively in the aluminum milling application.

Plus, Metlfab applies tooling such as this in a way that optimizes its rigidity. With machines having 145 tool magazine positions devoted to standard tooling, there is room within the shop’s standard kit to stock the same tool variety at different lengths. This gives the shop’s programmers freedom to select the shortest tool length that a particular cut will allow. Mr. Gardner sees this as an example of one more vital factor in any cutting tool’s success: having a process in place around the tool that is able to fully realize the tool’s potential.

Tool Grinders Equipped with Tubular Shaft Linear Motors

ANCA’s FX Linear series of cutting tool grinders are said to provide higher grinding accuracy while reducing maintenance within a smaller footprint. The machines are compact but offer large working envelopes with the grinding wheel positioned on the C-axis centerline to reduce the effects of temperature, the company says. Combined with the polymer-concrete base, the design results in a thermally stable and rigid machine. The rod peeling inserts FX grinders are equipped with a new generation of RN33 software was well as automation technology developed by subsidiary ANCA Motion. Added features include the new touchpad user interface, high-performance CNC, remote pendant, AMD5x servodrives and IO box, all with Ethercat technology.

The series machines are equipped with LinX tubular shaft linear motors coupled with linear scales for X- and Y-axis motion, while the vertical Z axis uses a preloaded ballscrew. The linear motors provide a rapid speed of 50 m/min. and are said to avoid issues associated with ballscrew wear and loss of preload or WNMG Insert rigidity while promoting smoother axis motion and eliminating backlash. The motor design isolates heating effects from the machine elements and enables the use of grinding coolant for temperature control. No separate coolant and chiller system is necessary.

Three models are offered: the FX3 Linear, FX5 Linear and FX7 Linear. The FX3 Linear is an entry-level machine without any automation. The FX5 Linear offers an automated two-wheel changer and optional automatic headstock clamping and compact loader for unattended operation. The FX7 Linear features a 19-kW wheel spindle, high-performance servodrives, an automatic headstock and a range of options including a robot loader, wheel changer and laser probe. The FX series covers applications ranging from light manufacturing to regrinding to full production. According to ANCA, its best performance is in tools ranging to 12 mm (1/2") in diameter. The machines offer grinding capabilities for tools ranging to 200 mm in diameter, and the maximum wheel diameter is 8".

Transitioning to CNC Swiss Type Machining? Here’s How One Shop Did It.

Without a natural successor for his business, Geno DeVandry faced the real possibility that he would be the last in his family to run Deking Screw Products, a machine shop started by his father outside of Burbank, California in 1962. Geno had been running the shop on his own since he was 19 years old in the mid-1970s. In 2015, 40 years later, he still relied on the half-dozen Acme brand multi-spindle screw machines that the shop used for production since it first opened.

When the Great Recession hit in 2008, Geno DeVandry had to let go of 40 of Deking’s 43 employees, some of whom had been with the company for decades. The Acme screw machines largely sat idle in the following years, with each passing week presenting a new slate of worries. “There were times when I thought, man, I’m not going to make it,” he recalls.

It was a conversation in late 2014 with a family friend about Swiss-type machining that began to turn things around. bar peeling inserts DeVandry was a girls’ youth-league soccer coach who often chatted after games with his players’ parents, including a man who happened to be one of the top Swiss-type machining experts on the West Coast. DeVandry remembers the day that Jouni Levanen, then an applications engineer for Marubeni Citizen-Cincom, visited Deking to see a complex part that DeVandry had recently machined.

“I came to visit Geno and he was holding up a really intricate titanium part that he made in six operations,” Levanen says. “And I said, ‘I can make that on the Swiss, done-in-one.’ He didn’t believe me. So, I did a time study and told him it would take 90 seconds to make the part.”

So impressed by what Jouni had told him about these machines, Geno and Jouni decided to team TCGT Insert up  in what would essentially be Deking Screw Products 2.0 — a precision parts manufacturer that offered CNC Swiss-type machining.

With the agreement in place, Geno abruptly canceled an order he had just placed for a new wire EDM machine — a machine Geno intended to make tooling for Deking’s Acme machines — and ordered Deking’s first Citizen-Cincom A20 Swiss-type machine instead.

Fast forward to today, and the company now owns 10 CNC Swiss-type machines. The introduction of this kind of machining at Deking Screw Products did more than offer a new and highly efficient production method to the business. It also convinced not only Jouni Levanen to join the company, but also Geno’s youngest son, David, who had studied engineering in college but switched his focus to work for an education startup company.

Since no one at Deking besides Levanen was experienced with programming and operating Swiss-type machines, it meant that Levanen, who today runs the business alongside David DeVandry, had a lot to teach to his new colleagues.

I recently talked to the DeVandrys about the ownership succession of Deking Screw Products from Geno to David — a conversation you can listen to on the “Made in the USA” podcast, or read about here. But I also asked Jouni Levanen about some of the nuances of Swiss-type machining that he has been teaching to the uninitiated at Deking — and about what makes these complex machines a superior method for producing the small, intricate aerospace and medical parts that the company primarily manufactures today. These nuances are technical, of course, but they also require a mindset change and a reprogramming of how even experienced machinists think about CNC machining.

When the first Cincom A20 arrived in 2015, Levanen and Geno DeVandry set it up and ran test cuts through the night. The next day, the decision was made to begin shifting production to the A20 for certain parts, mainly fasteners and fittings, that Deking had been manufacturing through multiple operations on the Acmes or traditional CNC lathes. Machining a threaded fastener with a slot on these machines used to involve hand-chamfering, tumbling operations, and then separate setups for slotting and thread milling. But with the A20’s five axes, four rotary tools and subspindle, and an X2 axis on the back spindle that allows for simultaneous front-and-back machining, Deking routinely produces these parts in one operation.

Time savings leading to increased throughput from producing parts in one operation is clearly the most immediate benefit of the Swiss-type machines — not only because of their “done in one” capabilities, but also because of technologies like direct C-axis indexing, which saves time by the capability of the spindle to decelerate to any chosen index position, thus eliminating the need to perform a zero return with each pass.

But a corollary benefit that the DeVandrys noticed immediately was increased cutting tool life. Swiss-type machines use a sliding headstock that moves along the Z-axis while feeding a rotating bar stock through a guide bushing. Since the headstock can slide behind the chuck, it allows X-axis cutting to take place close to the guide bushing. Not only does this enable the machining of long, thin parts, but the proximity between the cutter and the guide bushing drastically reduces deflection from cutting forces on the workpiece. Naturally, this extends the life of cutting tools.

Another reason for extended tool life? Most if not all Swiss-type machines use oil instead of coolant, which not only allows for better chip control, but also lubricates the guide bushing, bearings and cutting tools. “Tool life goes through the roof,” Levanen says. While cutting oils are not as effective as water-based coolants for temperature control — a fact that necessitates fire-suppression systems and the availability of gloves to handle tool changes — the cutting oil uniformly absorbs heat away from the cutting surface, which helps Swiss-types machines routinely achieve tolerances of ±0.0002 inch (sometimes even less) by reducing thermal expansion of the workpiece.

In addition to the six Citizen-Cincom A20s, Deking Screw Products also owns two Cincom L12s and two Cincom A32VIIs, with bar capacities that range from 0.5 to 1.25 inches. Today, more than 80% of Deking’s production happens on these machines, and that percentage is growing. As the company has grown, so has its profit, as well as its ability to rehire several of the machinists that were let go after the last recession. To get to that point, for everyone besides Jouni, the introduction of Swiss machining at Deking required a mindset change for its employees. The complexities of these machines present process control challenges that may seem counterintuitive to operators of other types of machine tools.

Jouni explains. Relative to other types of CNC equipment, the first (and according to him, the easiest) difference to understand relates to programming. A traditional CNC lathe’s turning tool feeds in both X and Z to engage with a part, and the face of the bar stock is considered Z zero. In a Swiss, the offset is reversed. It is the headstock that moves in the Z direction so the bar stock feeds into the cutting tool in Z. So, Z zero is still in the same place, but the moves associated with positive and negative are reversed.

“Once you remember that anything that you want to make bigger [that is, longer part, deeper hole], you go plus, and anything you want to make smaller, you go minus — once you get that through your noggin, it’s really just the same thing as typical CNC programming,” Jouni says. “You also have radiuses, and radius clockwise is a G2 (circular interpolation code), and radius counterclockwise is a G3. So now, when you switch from going minus, your Z axis is traveling in a different direction. Other than that, it’s the same thing.”

“He makes it sound a lot easier than it is,” adds David. (It should be noted that Jouni Levanen programs by hand and prefers not to use software. But that’s another story.)

Another critical difference in CNC programming and machining with Swiss-types is more tactical in nature. Because Swiss machines are typically used to produce parts with length-to-diameter ratios that require guide bushing support, workpieces are machined in segments.

This is necessary in order to keep the section of the workpiece being machined fully supported by the guide bushing. Rather than roughing then finishing the entire part, part segments are machined in full using as many spindles and tool changes as necessary before moving on to the next segment. This includes ID and OD threading, which remain seamless despite this segmentation.

“When you start with the Swiss-type screw machines, you always want to do any ID work first,” Levanen advises. “Then you can start doing the segment turning for shoulders and grooves, and then continue with the rest of the part.” These segments typically measure 0.750 inch in length to maintain the rigidity provided by guide bushing support.

Underscoring this is the importance of raw material quality, which Levanen says has improved drastically over the last 20 years. Deking requires its material providers to supply bar stock that maintains ±0.001 inch in diameter across the length, no matter if the material is aluminum, stainless or alloy steel, titanium, plastics, high-nickel alloys or tool steel — all of which the company machines. Deking no longer grinds its bars to achieve these tight tolerances, or the required straightness, which should be less than 0.001 inch per foot. Levanen typically prefers carbide-lined guide bushing because of their high rigidity and resistance to wear.

Combined, all of these changes have allowed Deking Screw Products to become a steady aerospace supplier, achieving AS9100 certification, as well as a grow its reach into the medical, defense, electronics and commercial industries. The shop also runs parts on traditional CNC lathes and uses its own EDM machine to produce tooling for them. But the nature of its work and its customer base is changing because of what Swiss-type machining brings to the table.

At this point in our interview, Geno DeVandry, who still occasionally works at the shop, chimes in from the back of the room. As you can hear for yourself, it was not easy for him to see the nature of Deking’s business change so drastically in such a short period of time. But it’s clear that he is thrilled with the success that Jouni and David have built upon his leadership for the past 45 years.

“The really important thing about this kind of business is that you have to keep trying new things, because things are changing constantly, faster and faster,” he says. “And even when I was running this place, one of the strengths that we had was that we were willing to try new things all the time. And that's continuing now, because things like carbide coatings for the bushings he's talking about — the materials are changing. Tooling is changing every day. You have to always keep trying new things.”
