Uniquely positioned to help companies achieve more

September 2009

More technology, more precision, more automation, more productivity and more satisfaction are at the heart of GF AgieCharmilles’ commitment to helping customers achieve more success.

A place not to miss at EMO The exhibition space at EMO Milan 2009 is the place to “Experience more” of the solutions the company has developed specifically to enable customer’s success today, tomorrow and beyond. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover the complete, actual range of technologies and services offered by GF AC.

A wide solution range Wire-cut EDM The new CUT 1000 OilTech, optimal for precision and materials better suited to oil dielectric than water-based dielectric, has built-in thermo stabilization and is sure to respond to highest expectations. The company is now introducing the new P version to increase price/performance advantage.

Die sinking EDM In response to the increased demand for small and micro applications in die sinking Agie Charmilles has created a new product: the FORM 1000, a machine which will set new standards in industrialized machining of smallest parts.

Milling technology Customer support has made the MIKRON XSM/HSM 400 and 400U a real success, and the company now present the new MIKRON XSM/HSM 400 LP and 400U LP offering the benefits of the existing products and many improved features. Five-axis machining of large and heavy work pieces is the domain of the MIKRON HPM 600U and 800U. The MIKRON HPM 600 HD makes sure users benefit from the strong machining and newest tools for large mold productions. Its tool magazines and automation solutions make it the modern answer for maximizing output without compromising precision or surface quality.

The modern HSM centers benefit from highly reactive motorspindles. Rotation speed between 10 000 and 60 000 rpm are usual!

Laser Technology GF AgieCharmilles has entered the fast-growing laser technology field with its many interesting advantages for machining. This technology will, over time, become strong pillar within GF AgieCharmilles.

The new Maier C6 - economical, accurate and fast

January 2014

Maier Werkzeugmaschinen, Wehingen, has just launched a new Swisstype range from its ML-series: the ML C6. These machines offer a wide range of processing possibilities and are thus equally suitable for simple and complex parts. To produce long parts such as bone nails or screw economically, the new ML C6 can work with up to three simultaneously engaged tools, two at the main spindle and one at the counter-spindle, thus shortening cycle times. The cutting forces acting transversely on the (…)

Aerospace and much more at Simodec

January 2014

Willemin-Macodel offers high-end tailor-made machining solutions to realise high value-added, complex and highly precise parts. At Simodec, the company will present two machines on its stand. The part realised on the 408S2 will be a blisk and the part machined on the 408MT will be a pinion realised by gear-hobbing. This machine will also present a 500 mm bar loading device. 408S2 - Simultaneous 5-axis machining centre The 408S2 machining centre is equipped with a high precision, rotating (…)

Studer announces a revolution in thread grinding

December 2013

Special grinding machines have previously been the first choice for technically complex external and internal threads with large pitches. This will now change with the introduction of an A-axis on the Studer S41 and S22 cylindrical grinding machines. Thanks to the new A-axis it will be possible to grind recirculating ball screws, thread gauges or thread rolls with large pitches perfectly in the future. Studer is revolutionizing thread grinding on cylindrical grinding machines with the new (…)

New milling solution for production of small, precise parts

December 2013

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, (…)

Cryogenic cooling reduces wear and tear

October 2013

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

October 2013

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. (…)
