The Swiss company Exxentis AG will present the advantages of porous aluminum at Hannover Messe 2019.

Precision tools are a speciality of the European market. Their quality allows manufacturers around the world to produce high-technology parts and components for sophisticated applications. The innovative spirit of the industry is the trump card for the emerging recovery after the Corona crisis. We present some of the highlights recently launched by international toolmakers.

The benefits of automation in the metal cutting industry are particularly welcome when it comes to implementing flexible production processes for small quantities. Here are some examples of the solutions to be presented at the International Exhibition for Metal Working (AMB) in Stuttgart from 13 to 17 September 2022.

Excitement is mounting in the run-up to the K 2022, the world’s leading trade fair for the plastics industry. Under the motto of “There is only a Plan A” the machine manufacturer wants to underline its committed to sustainability, the circular economy and carbon reduction.

The challenges of high-performance machining have become more complex and demanding. These include high-mix, low-volume production, dynamic machine concepts, materials and high-precision surfaces. Particularly high demands are placed on a stable tool system.

At AMB 2022 in Stuttgart, Open Mind will be exhibiting together with Hummingbird Systems in Hall 2, Booth B20. The partners will address the role of CAM in networked production processes under the banner of “Create the Future of Manufacturing Together.”

At AMB 2022, Kern will be presenting for the first time two machines that are characterised by high precision machining, but which are based on two completely different technologies: the latest generation of the Micro HD five-axis machining centre and the Femto E3 laser machining centre.

The WFL Technology Meeting took place in Linz, Austria, from 12th to 23rd June 2022. Live machining on all Millturn machine types and the latest automation and software solutions were shown. The program comprised expert discussions and presentations on the pioneering trends and developments in the industry.

From the 18th to the 22nd of July, the entire aviation industry will descend upon the Farnborough International Airshow to learn, network and do business. As an industry-leading CAD/CAM solution provider to the aerospace industry, Open Mind Technologies will return to the international event to introduce its latest innovations.

Germany — The plastics processing sector is one of the most energy-intensive industries. Plastic packaging manufacture particularly stands out in this respect with its high-speed machines and high production quantities. As the demand for high-quality plastic packaging will continue to rise, processors are focusing their efforts on increasing resource and energy efficiency. If we take the injection moulding process as an example, it is clear how numerous parameters need to be fine-tuned to advance these efforts.
