Machine engineering company Mazak has responded to market demand for a high-specification entry-level machining centre with a large Y-axis stroke by launching the new VCE-600.

During IMTS 2022, Vomat’s display will be at Booth 237475, where the company will be presenting solutions for individually tailored filtration systems; great for cleaning and maintaining accurate temperature of metal coolants.

Under its joint sales cooperation with Austrian ISO tooling company Boehlerit, German cutting tool manufacturer Horn is offering customers the former's new Quattrotec tool system. Due to the special design, four machining operations can be performed with low vibration using just one tool — drilling into solid material (including off-centre), boring, facing and longitudinal turning.

To highlight the numerous solutions it offers for milling free-form surfaces, tooling manufacturer Horn, points to a recent application involving the machining of a plastic injection mould for mass producing the lens for a headlamp.

The Hypermill CAD/CAM suite from Open Mind is a highly regarded end-to-end complete solution in the mould and die industry, as it also covers aspects such as electrode manufacturing and wire EDM. It is now the introduction of the function — 5-axis radial machining — to take center stage.

The new home of grinding technology, Grinding Hub, celebrated its premiere in Stuttgart in May 2022. More than 370 well-known manufacturers from 23 countries presented numerous innovations across the entire grinding technology process chain — with a clear trend towards automation and digitalisation.

At the IFW, researchers are investigating how displacement compensation for mobile machine tools, which are used to repair heavy press tools, for instance, can be made feasible with the help of simulations and sensors.

Brush deburring is one of the most flexible and sometimes most economical methods of mechanical deburring technology. It offers manufacturers and processors of metal and polymer semi-finished products and components the opportunity to remove burrs, round off edges and remove flakes.

The specialist for motion control and positioning systems, Aerotech, will be exhibiting at Micronora 2022 in Besançon, France, from 27 to 30 September, in Hall C on stand 306. The Ifov function for expanding the field of view during laser scanning will be demonstrated on a demo system, as well as the latest features of the Automation1 control platform.

The core competence of RSD Polytec includes the machining of tools for lens systems. The company has recently been using new EPDBEH ball end mills for fine finishing. Now, only a single cutting tool is needed to mill even a large reflective surface with virtually no wear.
