US /Europe – US-based CNC machine tool manufacturer, Haas Automation, will use the upcoming AMB 2016 exhibition in Stuttgart to present an ‘advance sight’ of a new Y-axis CNC turning centre, as well as a prototype of a newly developed compact mill for micro-machining, and two new CNC rotary tables.

Canada - At K 2016, Husky globally debuts two new complete integrated closure systems, including the recently launched system for beverage closure moulding, as well as a new fully integrated solution for the manufacture of specialty closures.

Die-sinking systems from ONA serve for modification and repair of very large moulds and for fine-sparking of high-precision small moulds.

It is well-known that even the best theory is useless without practice. And the aim pursued by Simcon, the eminent manufacturer of simulation software, is for the simulation results it provides to reflect the practical reality of the injection moulding process in an optimum manner.

Numerous highlights that will be presented at the Moulding Expo Trade Fair and the latest innovations in die, tool and mould making.

Wire erosion is a very versatile method. As long as a material is conductive, it can be machined with EDM. The downside of the process, like its speed, are compensated by its accuracy, low running costs and minimal requirements for human intervention.

Cooling lubricants are often used to prevent stubborn graphite dust when milling electrodes. This means that it is not necessary to acquire an additional milling machine for graphite machining. Cooling lubricants help to extend tool life and to improve dimensional accuracy.

There are numerous problems that can be caused by improper venting: Short shots, carbonisations and cracks in the finished part are only a few. Alternative venting valves can help overcome standard mould venting limitations and improve mould performance.

For modern components for tool and mould making it is not enough to just do their job. Nowadays they have to fulfill a number of requirements. A co-operation between Hasco and a Danish customer was able to proof that two particular components from Hasco go this extra mile.

As a precision manufacturer at the high end of its sector, Eropräzisa makes no compromises with its milling tools. This is why, for the last few years, it has decided to commit to using the MMC Hitachi Tool range of tools for 'hard milling' operations, i.e., machining after the heat treatment process.
