The new pillar with centre collar SN4331 from Strack Norma, which is used in modular tool making, was specially developed for high-speed presses to increase tool life.

At K 2022, Emerson showcased automated solutions for plastics joining, highlighting Branson welding equipment and expertise. The new Branson GLX-1 laser welder was presented for the first time at the trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Highest-level toolmaking, plastics technology and assembly from a single source — that’ s what Werkzeugbau und Kunststofftechnik Mayweg offers. The company has three locations, 250 employees and 33 million euros in sales, and a fully automated milling and electrical-discharge-machining cell from Exeron that helps meet even the highest customer requirements for precision, speed and economy.

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 melting of thermoplastic materials requires temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius. In many cases, thermal separation of the injection-moulding machine from the mould mounted in it is essential, if only for safety reasons.

IMTS — the largest and longest-running industry trade show in the Western Hemisphere, will run September 12-17, 2022, in Chicago. WFL will be presenting the M50 Millturn complete machining centre as well as the latest digitalization and automation trends.

Gühring has expanded its grooving and parting-off to include a new grade with a blade width of 3 mm for parting-off stainless steel materials. The System 222 expansion adds to the existing indexable inserts for steel materials.

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.

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”.

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.
