Automation tasks are becoming ever more challenging. Using intelligent software in combination with the relevant automation solutions not only enables workpieces to be loaded and unloaded but also means that machine tools can be set up fully automatically through automatic replacement of tools and clamping devices.

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.

In recent years MS Feinmechanik has not only seen a dramatic increase in the volume of machined parts but also increasingly stricter requirements placed on precision and final product quality. To keep on top of these growing requirements, the company has taken the strategy of continuous investment in industry-leading machinery and tooling solutions.

Deep hole drilling is a special discipline within the field of machining, particularly as these kinds of machining steps usually require special equipment in terms of both tools and machines. As a machine manufacturer, WFL equips the machine in such a way that it has a number of decisive advantages.

Climate change, environmental protection, energy and material efficiency — sustainability is now an integral part of our daily lives. It will also feature prominently at EMO Hannover 2023. Experts will be presenting ambitious, long-term strategies — and every proposal which is implemented represents a step in the right direction.

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.

Once again in 2023, the trade fair year will start for Arburg with the Swiss Plastics Expo in Lucerne, Switzerland. From 17 to 19 January 2023, Arburg will be at stand C1061, hall 1, in both physical and digital. The main topics at the stand will be sustainability and digitalisation.

Oerlikon HRS Flow has developed special hot runner solutions for PCR compounds. Their application possibilities are demonstrated by two examples realised in practice — a fruit crate and a garbage can for composting organic household waste.

With the Adaptix Vice Jaws, Leader Chuck offers a new method of transforming the way any machinist holds and grips parts for milling. With sliding fingers, it can be adapted to any part geometry to provide the necessary clamping forces.

Cutting tool manufacturer Tungaloy has now expanded its Tungforce-Rec Series of square shoulder milling cutters to include size 12 inserts and associated tool bodies.
