A new version of the OPC UA for Machine Tools Companion Specification has recently been released. The Joint Working Group of the OPC Foundation is supported by the VDW and has produced a supplement that now makes it possible to integrate existing inventory systems.

Researchers at the IWF of TU Berlin and specialists at Gezea GmbH can recycle environmentally harmful graphite dust. The electrodes can be finished in a matter of days! This is how they do it.

To produce workpieces as completely and economically as possible, 5-side machining in one single clamping process has great advantages. Non-productive times are substantially reduced, and reclamping errors are avoided. Erowa offers a compact and reliable solution to achieve these goals.

When the Subaru tuning specialist Subi-Performance needed a boring tool for a special application, the company’s owner went online searching for the right manufacturer — finding what he was looking for in Big Kaiser, the specialist in precision machining tools.

In order to be able to apply marking onto different metal materials and on different component geometries on its machine tools, Sunnen has invested in laser marking systems from Mobil-Mark.

From 21 to 22 September 2022, everything will revolve around the future of machining during the first Aachen Conference on Machining (ACM). In addition to the latest scientific findings in established fields of development, the event will also present new practical concepts for the design and control of machining production.

Simulation systems of CNC functionalities by means of control models are widely used. When they reach their limits, simulations based on the real CNC core can provide help. But how are the required application data implemented in the simulation scenario?

The highlight of Eppinger’s trade fair presence at AMB will be the Quicklock tool clamping system. It allows tool holders (BMT) to be clamped and released automatically in just a few seconds at the touch of a button.

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

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.
