Experts at Fraunhofer IGD have developed software that uses artificial intelligence to optimise the assembly of components and also checks the quality. It verges on “sorcery”!

Heavy duty cutting places particular requirements on the machine and working processes. If this involves a material such as titanium, which is particularly hard to cut, specific know-how is necessary to deal with these requirements. Thanks to its expertise, WFL Millturn Technologies can offer a machining solution for aircraft landing gear.

Daniel Kaiser, former Managing Director of DMG Mori, and Benedikt Ruf, Co-Founder, form the top management of the Gindumac Group as Co-CEOs and Managing Partners.

Horn's Technology Days are back after four years. From 14th to 16th June 2023 at its Tübingen headquarters in Germany, cutting tool manufacturer Horn will offer insights into production using its products.

The French engineering company specialising in additive and digital manufacturing, Multistation, has signed a distribution agreement with Bigrep, an expert in Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) large-format Additive Manufacturing, during the Global Industrie 2023 in Lyon (March 7-10th).

When machining a component, tool wear and the metal removal rate are the decisive factors. Machine learning can provide a valuable contribution to the optimisation of production costs by supporting the decision-making process for tool changes.

The Japanese 30-taper machining centre manufacturer Brother has had a machine in its portfolio with a one-metre X-axis for nearly a decade. The third iteration of this model, launched in April 2023, has seen the specification uprated in several key areas to boost capacity and versatility.

Industry is seeking new ideas for that key step ahead in the international arena. For instance, the smart utilisation of production data augments machine efficiency and helps create all-new data-based business models. Under the new claim “Innovate Manufacturing.”, the German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW) will be inviting experts from all over the world to the EMO Hannover from September 18 to 23, 2023.

Software company Module Works has launched its Strategic Partner Program, which invites a selection of key partners licensing its technology to make a minority investment into Module Works equity and help accelerate digital transformation in manufacturing.

30-taper vertical machining centre (VMC) manufacturer Brother, Japan, has introduced a new 5-axis model with a swivelling rotary table, the Speedio U500Xd1. Despite having a nominal footprint of just 1.5 x 2 metres, it is capable of multi-face machining of components up to 500 mm diameter by 270 mm high and weighing up to 100 kg.
