SubCon 40th Anniversary
We at Extrude Hone are excited to participate in this year’s SubCon at NEC Birmingham, June 7-9. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, SubCon is the UK’s premier manufacturing supply chain show and is dedicated to outsourced engineering services and subcontracting.
SubCon’s British and international exhibitors cover all sectors of the manufacturing supply chain: automotive, aerospace, electronics, energy, rail, oil and gas, and defense and security, plus — new this year — dedicated zones for software and for materials and composites. Also new this year, the conference’s Buyer’s Programme lets you book appointments with the exhibitors you’re most interested in before the conference even begins. This can give you a personalized SubCon experience that makes the most efficient and effective use of your time.
Improving Crankshaft Manufacturing
Improving Crankshaft Manufacturing with Electrochemical Machining
Ensuring sufficient and permanent lubrication of crankshaft bearings in automobile engines is critical for avoiding engine failures. As the crankshaft becomes smaller, due to manufacturing trends and consumer expectations, the number of oil intersection holes increases. All burrs and debris left behind in the drilling process must be removed.
New Microflow Highflow
EXTRUDE HONE brings all new MICROFLOW HIGHFLOW solution to meet the high precision flow targeting system requirements of the heavy-duty market (Marine, trucks, off-highway, and diesel power generators).
The challenges:
With climate changes posing significant risk to the society, reducing the fuel consumption and emissions is one of the critical steps in slowing the negative effects of climate change. Medium and heavy-duty vehicles represent a significantly smaller fraction of the number of vehicles on the road but still contribute to more than one-fifth of emissions. Figure 1 represents the stringent emission standards OEMs in the heavy-duty vehicles market face leading to the following challenges: (more…)
Make in India Movement Promises New Future.
Drawing on the combined power, foresight, and expertise of politicians, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders, the Make in India movement hopes to turn the largest democracy in the world into a manufacturing and design hub, sparking new growth and international investment and inspiring confidence in India’s capabilities.
At the beginning of the 21st century, India showed great promise as an emerging market, but by 2013, its growth rate had fallen to the lowest in a decade. Recognizing that part of the problem was government bottlenecks, Prime Minister Nerendra Modi set out to overhaul government policies and procedures to allow businesses more room to thrive. The ultimate goal was a mindset of “minimum government, maximum governance.”

A Complete Solution for Chromatography Tube Inner Surface Finishing
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is one medical area where manufacturing accuracy and surface finishing are critical. The inner surface of chromatography tubes must be smooth or else false readings or inaccurate separation may occur. Tube manufacturers are limited in the inner surface finish they can offer and will only be interested in improving on it if extremely large orders are at stake. (more…)
