A hydraulically-actuated, double-acting clamp with a long-travel, ideal for workholding in production systems having robotic or otherwise automated component load / unload, has been introduced by Roemheld. It will be shown for the first time on the German manufacturer's stand at AMB 2022

As the die & mould sector often involves one-offs and small series, standard tools are preferred here. In view of the almost infinite variety of geometry and design, users shy away from stocking a large and accordingly cost-intensive range of tool types. CAM programming is thus tasked with processing pending machining jobs using the stock of tools on hand. Compromises are often made at the expense of machine running times.

CAD/CAM innovator Cambrio announced the release of Gibbs CAM 2023. New developments continue the focus on core capabilities, while introducing new technology in collaboration with Sandvik Coromant.

Marketplaces like AMB 2022 always act as a barometer of industry sentiment and this is because technical details and commercial topics, such as faltering supply chains and delivery deadlines, will be discussed at the event in Stuttgart from 13 to 17 September 2022.

With the W1211/W1210 copy turning system, Walter is transferring to internal machining the features of its W1011/W1010 turning system for external machining that is already established in the market. The boring bars and indexable inserts with WL positive engagement solve a common problem.

This September PET Technologies brings its recent developments to Drinktec 2022 in Munich, Germany. Visitors will among others have the opportunity to see the newest generation of PET stretch blow moulders of the APF-Max series.

At AMB 2022, Haimer will present an advanced version of its Automation Cube, which allows automated shrinking and presetting of cutting tools. The handling tasks are performed by a cobot that supports the shrinking and unshrinking process as well as the measuring process of tools with highly accurate length repeatability.

For five days, a total of 64,298 visitors frequented the fully booked Stuttgart fair grounds during AMB. The 1,238 exhibitors from around the world — with around 25 percent hailing from outside Germany — presented a variety of innovations, products, services and concepts.

At AMB 2022, Open Mind Technologies will not only highlight the strategic partnership with the recently acquired MES provider Hummingbird Systems. The company will also address the role of CAM in networked production processes under the banner of “Create the Future of Manufacturing Together”.

Tool manufacturer Allied Machine and Engineering announced the launch of the T-A Pro M geometry insert. As the newest expansion of the T-A Pro high-penetration drilling system, this insert targets stainless steel and heat resistant super alloy (HRSA) materials.
