Hardware-in-the-loop - or HIL - has been a proven element of model-based development for many years. Machine models developed in simulation tools like Simulink® or MapleSim™ are transferred via automatic code generation to a real-time environment where they emulate the behavior of the system. The result is a secure development environment for critical testing of new functions. Hardware-in-the-loop on a B&R control platform is a secure development environment for the automotive industry. (…)

Real strategic elements of machine tools, spindles are very high precision instruments that are highly solicited. The overhaul of these is a classic and indispensable operation which can become a real puzzle for businesses. To be able to rely on a sharp specialist able to provide a "factory quality"service is therefore a dream comes true with Precise France SA.. We cannot become an overhaul specialist for spindles out of the blue in a wink. The levels of precision requested, particularly in (…)

Rimann SA is well known for evacuation, treatment and valorization of chips and waste oils, in watchmaking, medical and Microtechnology. Providing tailor-made solutions to its customers, the company offers today a new skill with the development, manufacture and supply of custom washing or treatment baskets. Meeting with Mr. Stefan Eichler, Director of the company. Rimann AG has a large stock of completed standard baskets and raw material to produce on demand. This new activity by Rimann (…)

The watchmaking gears and wheels are strategic parts in the good functioning of a watch. The machining of these parts, carried out on an automatic lathe or on a dedicated cutting machine, often uses gear hobbing technology and requires special precision hobs. In these small sizes, each module and number of teeth involves the use of a dedicated hob. Meeting with MM. Arnaud Maître and Pierre Falbriard respectively Director and technical manager at Louis Bélet in Vendlincourt (Switzerland). (…)

Eurometaux wishes to re-state the industry’s need for secondary raw materials in Europe and to respond to the press release issued by Eurometrec on 25 March in which it claims that the so called “metals consuming industry” lacks interest in buying metal scrap. Consumption should not be confused with pre-processing and recycling! The recycling value chain is composed of four main stages, namely collection, dismantling, pretreatment and refining/recycling. Recycling only takes place when the (…)

SolidWorks® will focus on Delcam’s Gold Partner CAM system, Delcam for SolidWorks, in a webinar on April 27th. During the webinar, SolidWorks will show how Delcam’s world-class CAM solution, which is fully integrated into SolidWorks, can help reduce product manufacturing costs, shorten lead times, increase throughput and yield. To be presented by Craig Therrien, Product Manager, Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp., and Glenn McMinn and Chris Cole from Delcam, the webinar will help companies (…)

Thanks to the simplicity of its design, use and maintenance, its robustness and low cost, the asynchronous process is at present used very widely for motors within a power range from a few hundred watts to thousands of kilowatts. Why opting for synchronous technology? Interview with Dr Markus Thurneysen, Head of Design at Tornos SA. “Synchronous technology has been used for many years on our multi-spindle lathes, but it is true that very few turning machines are equipped with this (…)

Presenting an automatic lathe destined to replace Deco 10 is no mean feat when it has made such a mark on its era. For over 10 years it held the top spot for flexibility, precision, speed and productivity. Over 2500 lathes of this type are in use today and although its kinematics remains the most efficient today, Tornos wanted to make some modifications to allow the new EvoDeco 10a machine to better meet the needs of customers. As with EvoDeco 16 a year ago, the key idea for EvoDeco 10 is (…)
