Where workshop floor space and machine installation weight are considerations, producers of small and precise parts need look no further than GF AgieCharmilles’ new Mikron HSM 200 LP and HSM 200U LP Milling machines. The HSM 200 LP and HSM 200U LP perfectly meet high-speed Milling needs in production environments where location and available floor space limit machine installation weight and dimensions. Second-floor dental labs and watchmaking operations are two such examples. Moreover, (...)

New premises, new representation
Newemag has moved into its new headquarters in Eschenbach. The new exhibition hall is open and has already been presented to several interested customers. To complete its product range, the company now offers a new complete range of machining centers. "Our absolute priority was that our customers do not realize that we moved. We wanted them to continue to be delivered at the same speed and in the same quality as usual’, explains Pirmin Zehnder, CEO. In all areas of the company, this motto (...)

Cryogenic cooling reduces wear and tear
The boom in giant aircraft, particularly, is driving a radical transformation in the materials of choice: suddenly, titanium, nickel-based alloys, ultra-high-strength steels and carbon-fibre composites have to be machined on a large scale and at high levels of productivity. Metav 2014 will showcase prospects for new cooling strategies Conventional cooling lubricant concepts often come up against their physical limits here. The potential of cryogenic cooling compared to conventional (...)

When the machining process makes the difference
For many specialists working with machining companies in France and Europe, the name of Huron is a little part of the past. It is the brand of the machine on which they learned. It is always there and one may think about it with nostalgia, but seldom with a clear vision of what it is today: a dynamic manufacturer who offers extraordinary machines and machining processes. Meeting near Strasbourg with Ms. Labeauvie, Marketing Manager and MM. Echevard, CEO and Lutz, commercial Director. (...)

Dynamic turbine wheel on TiAl
SWSTech AG takes pride in solving ingenious technological challenges in the production of components. The example presented here is a new turbine wheel in titanium aluminide (TiAl) produced by the company. If most thermally exposed exhaust gas turbochargers’ turbine wheels were, until today, cast and finished by machining, they are nowadays more and more often realized by CNC milling in new lighter materials. Innovative project In the automotive, industry and more particularly in (...)

Micro-mold... and much more!
For years it seems that manufacturers have been developing tools that are ahead of the capacities of the means of production for which they are intended. With its 701S machine, Willemin-Macodel gives them room to think and innovate. Indeed, this micro-machining center unveiled at the EMO is able to push the capabilities of the tools to their limits, thus providing manufacturers of tools a new field of action. Meeting with Mr. Denis Jeannerat, Technical Director and Anne Hirtzlin, (...)

Even more productive
According to the parts to produce, working with an Escomatic machine allows very important gains in productivity and autonomy. In small diameters, the D5 CNC Ultra machine had become the reference since 2011, but to improve productivity further, the manufacturer has doubled the positions of counter-operations and has just presented the D5 CNC Twin. Meeting with M. Schouller, the director of this very dynamic SME. As reminder, the basic principle of the Escomatic lathes is to work from coil (...)

Very competitive proposal in midrange
With a long-standing presence on the market for parts with high added value, Tornos has been expanding its range for several years to cover fields requiring simpler solutions, and now caters for a wide variety of needs. In addition to the many novelties presented in Eurotec 389 the manufacturer has unveiled at EMO the new ST26. Originally introduced in non-EU version in 2012, the machine has been acclaimed by the market. Quite logically it arrives today in EU-version. Everything suggests (...)
