Inventor(s) include Dr. A. Mahamani; N. Sakthivelan; Dr. C. Uma Maheshwari; R Rajesh; Y. Rajesh; G. Dilip Kumar Reddy; G. Vinay Kumar Reddy; Y. Rohith Roy; P. Vikesh; and Y. Tarun Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses Triple-Motion 3D Ball Milling Attachment with Adaptive Control for Radial Drilling Machines, designed to achieve high-efficiency particle size reduction through an innovative combination of rotational, counterrotational, and linear reciprocating motions. The attachment integrates a clockwiserotating cylindrical chamber, a counterclockwise internal stirrer, and a variablestroke linear feed mechanism, generating intense multidirectional impact and shear forces. This triple-motion arrangement significantly enhances grinding uniformity, mixing efficiency, and milling speed compared to conventional single- or dual-motion systems. To enable intelligent and safe operation, the device incorporates a suite of embedded sensors that monitor temperature, vibration, milling load, and estimated particle size in real time. These data feed into an adaptive control system capable of automatically adjusting RPM, linear feed rate, and milling duration based on material behavior. loT connectivity provides remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, performance analytics, and cloud-based optimization. The compact attachment is fully retrofittable to standard radial drilling machines without structural modification, enabling cost-effective in-house micro ionization of metallic, ceramic, composite, and brittle materials. Experimental validation confirms substantial particle size reduction with 40-60% savings compared to industrial ball mills. The invention offers a scalable, intelligent, and economical solution for powder metallurgy, ceramics, additive manufacturing, and laboratory applications."
