The 2009 Kern precision days were celebrated recently. Whilst enjoying traditional Bavarian specialities visitors had the opportunity to talk shop about new machines and applications – of which Kern had plentiful to offer. Let’s come back on technical news.
Technical fireworks: The new Kern Triton combines the Kern typical accuracy and surface finish with high chip removal volumes.
Innovative force Company owner Ekkehard Alschweig says: "Despite the rough economy three new developments were brought to market: the new machining centre Kern Triton, the automated manufacturing cell ER6 and the micro tool inspector Kern µ-view". In joint venture with their cooperation partners Zeiss and Open Mind, Kern presented new developments and applications directly in their manufacturing plant.
Triton The Eschenlohe machine manufacturer displayed true fireworks this year with the unveiling of the new development Kern Triton. With the integration of hydrostatic guideways, the hydrodynamic drives and a sturdy milling spindle (40.000 RPM and 25 kW) this machine does not only shine in regard to obtainable precision and surface finishes but also achieves outstanding chip removal volumes. Highlight: the hydrostatic bedding isolated the guideways from the machine frame, thus eliminating vibrations.
Evo Robotic 6 On the robot cell Kern Evo Robotic 6, the company showed the large possibilities of work in hidden time. During the primary machining, parallel loading und unloading of stock and the cleaning and drying of finished parts, customers witnessed the integrated metrology of machined parts
Kern was able to present actual quality results on a Zeiss Duramax. This means offers transparent quality control in real time of the finished workpieces.
Open future "The feedback of our international guests was overwhelming and their interest in our products very concrete. The trend has been confirmed that investments are again being made since mid year", comments managing director Rudi Riedel.
