In addition to already well established trades fair including Motek, Control and Blechexpo, private trade fair promoter Paul Schall is now bringing a further event to the trade fair venue in Stuttgart. The 4th Microsys trade fair for micro and nano-technology will take place concurrent to the Motek international trade fair for assembly and handling technology at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre from September 13 to 16, 2010. Micro-technology makes ordinary things smaller, handier and more (…)

Now available from ITC (UK) is the new range of Hanita high feed milling cutters that has been engineered to machine steels at up to a hardness of 67HRc. Designed specifically for the mould & die and medical markets, the high feed range is ideal for rough and semi-finish machining of hardened materials from 37 to 67HRc. The Hanita high feed end mills permit high feed machining with its 6 flutes and innovative geometry that improve productivity and reduce manufacturing costs. With (…)

Working closely with its customer base, TaeguTec has evolved its AluMill milling series to improve performance and tool life. The new 2 and 3-flute AluPlusMill series for machining aluminum and aluminum alloys has a thicker core than its predecessor to improve speeds, feeds, rigidity and surface finishes. This new development maximizes chip evacuation even when undertaking high speed and high feed cutting. The strengthened core diameter improves rigidity of the cutting edge whilst the (…)

The perfect symbiosis between high-performance 5-axis machining centres and special software is opening up completely new opportunities for the manufacturers of gearwheels and gear-cutting components. Modern milling technology is conquering ever broader application areas. Optimised machines at Hermle The 5-axis technology allows the simultaneous precision machining of extremely complex 3D contours. The motor spindles allow torque-optimised and therefore efficient use of the particular (…)

At the Metav, Chiron will present the new DZ 12K S Magnum five axis double-spindle machining center with a two-axis tilt rotary table for the two-spindle milling and turning of complex workpieces in one set-up. At the Metav in Düsseldorf, Hall 16, Booth C 48, one can experience what Chiron considers to be efficiency in complete machining. A new double-spindle center will be introduced with 2 x 5 axes, which impresses with its performance with regard to productivity and surface finish. (…)

The Körber Schleifring GmbH group recently announced a world premiere to be seen at Grindtech in Augsburg. The new Ewag insert grinding machine will be proudly presented for the first time to the public on the show. There is no picture of the new machine available yet. We will publish more information as well as pictures as soon as we get more. According to the manufacturer, with its new grinding technology and huge grinding wheel diameters the Ewag Insert Line operates 50% faster than (…)

Next issue is being printed and you can also download the articles from the blog. As usual we’ve covered machining small and precise parts. For instance you will be able to discover that sometimes a NC machine can be faster than a cam driven one or that the famous Deco 13’s reign is about to end. The summary is as follow: EDITORIAL [As usual, me giving you some ideas and thinking.->http://eurotec-online.com/articles/... POINT OF VIEW [A very interesting interview with FSRM’s director, (…)
