The Newemag | Schneider mc booth at Prodex is visible from the main entrance. As the fairground is undergoing vast transformations, the main entrance had to be moved at the end of hall 1.0. Thus the Newemag |Schneider mc booth is the first that you can visit in the morning. Mr. Habermacher, responsible for marketing says: "We will welcome you with pleasure with coffee and croissants and we look forward to your visit. In Basel, we will present, among other things, on stand A21 in hall 1.0 a (…)

The new version of Vericut (7.2) features many enhancements to improve speed, thereby reducing the time required for manufacturing engineers to develop, analyze, inspect and document the CNC programming and machining process. Along with proactively adding new features, CGTech developers and engineers are focusing on implementing hundreds of customer-driven enhancements. More possibilities “For Vericut 7.2 we continue to focus on the customer’s use of Vericut and how we can improve the (…)

For users planning to invest into a highly productive 4-axis machining centre, Heller’s H series has been first choice since its premiere at EMO 2007. Since then, 650 machines of the series have been sold including more than 360 machining centres model H 2000. At AMB 2012, Heller in co-operation with the Institute of Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW) of Darmstadt University impressively demonstrated the high productivity and quality of the machine. Under the motto (…)

In these ever changing times, a single solution is not always sufficient and engineers are repeatedly looking at different ways to improve products. Utilising a synergy of different coating technologies and a matching carbide substrate was the answer when developing the latest Mitsubishi high performance P20 turning grade, MC6025. . “2 in 1 technology” combines 2 types of CVD coatings that can deliver a machining performance to fully satisfy modern production requirements. The ultra (…)

Materials for components are constantly becoming harder, more wear resistant, more high-temperature resistant and thus more demanding during machining. The use of modern, highly-hard cutting grades is booming as these materials convince through substantial mechanical and thermal properties. At the occasion of the AMB 2012 in Stuttgart the Swedish tool manufacturer Seco Tools presented his comprehensive programme of highly wear-resistant inserts for hard turning. Numerous materials – (…)

With the new MS16C of the MultiLine series, the Esslingen multi-spindle specialists present for the first time an Index CNC multi-spindle lathe featuring six spindles for up to 16 mm diameter parts. The Index CNC multi-spindle lathe MS16C is custom-configurable in the number of grooving slides and cross-slides. The six-spindle machine, built from a multi-spindle modular component system, aims to replace the widely used but costly to set up fast cam-controlled multi-spindle lathes that (…)

The Tandem KSP plus clamping force block from Schunk, the specialist for clamping technology and gripping systems, is setting new standards in automated manufacturing. For the first time ever, a standardized clamping force block provides for flexible monitoring along the whole jaw stroke. Tandem KSP plus clamping force blocks with jaw monitoring increase flexibility and ensure process stability for automated machine loading. Whether using I.D. or O.D. clamping: With a few grips the (…)

With the new 5-axis MFP 100 grinding machine, Mägerle AG Maschinenfabrik is expanding its MFP series with an especially versatile and compact version. The machine was presented for the first time at the AMB trade fair and raised high interest. Mägerle has designed the powerful, robust and dynamic CD grinding and machining center with a spindle power of 50 kW for cost effective multiple machining in a minimum number of set ups. The new machine is suitable for the marching of – among other (…)

For especially complex machining on the four-spindle TZ15 W Magnum, Chiron presented at AMB for the first time a newly designed, space saving background magazine. The TZ15 W Magnum, as a compact machining center, features extremely high productivity within a small area, thanks to its four spindles and high dynamics. Assets 4 Spindles - third the Productivity - over 60% Energy Savings Shortest Chip-to-Chip Times from 2,4 s Highest Precision in Positioning Operation Compact Design for high (…)
