The picture show a graphic of an innovation wich enhances the quality
and shortens the working time when milling in metal.
Dot #1 All mechanical work
on metal (drilling, milling) brings vibrations to the work piece. These
vibrations makes it harder to achieve a high surface quality.
Also, the vibrations wear down the tool faster, which brings a need to
change the knives in the tool more frequently.
Dot #2 Vibration
Damped Palletisation (VDP) is based on a polymer in a thin layer
inside the bottom plate of the chuck holding the work piece. The vibrations
in the work piece are being transferred down to the thin polymer where
they are turned into thermo-energy which is easily cooled off via the
bottom plate.
Dot #3 Milling with a VDP-chuck
produces less vibrations and therefore provides a higher surface
quality. This is also extremely time efficient. Independent tests
of VDP have proven as much as 20-40% shorter work time per piece. VDP
also gives four times as long life to the tool's knives, as compared to
when working without VDP.


Material:
The client provided a number of photographs showing their different chuck models
and a lot of documentation on performed tests.
Tools: FreeHand 9 to define the contours of the main image.
After that, the work was moved to Photoshop for perspective, colouring,
surface and shadows.
