Tool manufacturers can now automatically create dimensioned engineering drawings of machine tools showing their precise geometry, by using a new facility for NUM’s renowned Numroto grinding software. By producing cross-sectional views of a tool – at any position along its length – the new Numroto Draw function can effectively automate production verification. The drawings can also incorporate images obtained directly from 3D simulation of a tool, enabling even complex grinding details to be (…)

With more than 20 different models of machines, Emissa offers a range of products beyond those of many builders. Simultaneously, the company is renowned for developing tailored solutions to its customers. How to combine these two aspects? A free discussion with Mr. Pierre Boschi, director of the company, can be read in our next issue. M. Boschi presenting the basis of a machine being built for an automotive customer. If offering a wide range may appear contradictory with the (…)

As is the case with a talented chef who intends to create a delicious menu, he will need, depending on the number of courses and size of the group, quite a lot of pots, pans, bain marie pans, serving plates, etc. Similarly, when it comes to the production of over 2500 different Motorex products more or less the same principle applies. With the increased number of storage tanks and the introduction of the most recent generation of pigging technology, Motorex is again expanding its innovative (…)

Nowadays, automatic turning machines are genuine machining centres which performing turning operations, naturally, but which also perform milling, burnishing, thread whirling, decoration and many other operations. To ensure efficient programming during complex operations, companies often have to use CAD/CAM. Meeting at atokalpa with Richard Steulet, Bar Turning Manager and Yannick Meyer, Technical Sales Representative at Productec, supplier of GibbsCAM software. The company specialises in (…)

When talking about machining, we often estimate that producing chips is paramount, but the evacuation out of the machines and treatment of chips remain operations for which little professionals are available. At the Siams, Rimann SA, the chip processing specialist will present Novaxess universal conveyors. I discussed with MM Eichler (Rimann) and Fouillot (Novaxess) at Simodec… the solutions I discovered are great. Customised and… Novaxess products approximately 300 conveyors per year. (…)

Delcam will demonstrate the 2012 release of its PowerINSPECT inspection software at the Control exhibition to be held in Stuttgart from 8th to 11th May. The new version includes a number of extra options to make inspection easier, plus the addition of basic reverse engineering functionality to the point-cloud module. The new mirror command in Delcam’s PowerINSPECT 2012 saves programming time for symmetrical components. PowerINSPECT is firmly established as the world’s leading (…)

At the end of its first day the Simodec lived a nice moment with its own “Oscars”. And guess what? It’s great; two of the winners were largely presented by Eurotec in our latest issue. This morning’s opening celebration at Simodec. The organisers received 32 files and the jury spent quite a lot of time to analyse them and discuss and debate and think… the categories were: High precision turning machines Other machines Tooling and cutting material Control and measuring devices Equipment (…)

Because of stricter requirements of precision, the manufacturers and users of machine tools need to be able to measure the linear axes quickly and in a reliable way. This is why Kunz precision AG presents a new unique system of measure to control all geometric deviations of a linear axis in a single operation at Control 2012. It sets new standards in terms of speed, reliability and ease of use. RAIL-check measurement system consists of a standard of straightness of high-precision, a (…)
