Switzerland — The manufacturer of high precision grinding machines Kellenberger, has developed a new solution for a tool manufacturer that simplifies the automation of grinding workpieces of different lengths.

Formenbau Niemann in Gemünden am Main, Germany chose DMG Mori’s DMU 75 monoblock with a PH 150 pallet changer to machine aluminium 4-cavity molds for the creation of a unique, soft, skin-friendly and reusable mouth-nose mask called ‘Covi-Mask’ in the background of the Covid-19 pandemic.

UK — To enable efficient machining of titanium, Walter launched its MD377 Supreme and MC377 Advance solid carbide milling cutters. Developed as high-end specialist tools for the aviation, motor sport and medical industries, the new arrivals are universal tools that are suitable for roughing, semi-finishing and finishing operations.

Germany — How can components — e.g. injection molds for filter housings — be machined with a precision of less than 1 µm and surfaces in the low single-digit nanometer range? At EMO 2021 in Milan, Hall 1 Booth C21, Kern Microtechnik will be demonstrating live how this is done.

Germany — Thermal insulating sheets prevent uncontrolled heat dissipation into the machine clamping plates from heated injection moulds and compression moulding tools. Through their high thermal compressive strength, they are particularly suitable for use in highly stressed moulding tools.

Germany — With a new series of multi-component injection moulding machines, Arburg wants to offer more space, modularity and ease of use to customers. The machines will be presented at Fakuma and can be ordered as of October 2021.

Germany — In the cutting tool industry, the trend is moving away from standard tools towards more complex geometries that are specially adapted to the specific application. In order for manufacturers to be able to produce these special tools economically, smart solutions are required. Anca will be presenting the technology, software and automation that enables tool manufacturers to design multiple tool types and grind them in one batch at EMO Milano 2021 on stand F10 G09 in Hall 2.

At this year’s EMO international machine tool exhibition, held in Milan on the 4 to 9 October 2021, on Stand F18 in Hall 3 Fial will launch a number of new ranges of steady rests, including Self-Centring steady rests; the Coolant Series with feed for the steady rest’s rollers; a Mini Series for multi axis lathes and mill-turn centres and a range of high accuracy steady rests for grinding applications.

Germany — Leonhard Kurz is a foil specialist, Arburg an expert in the injection moulding of plastics. In this article, the partners explain what a combination of know-how makes possible.

Germany — At EMO 2021 in Milano, the Haimer Group will be demonstrating how modern tool management works: with high-quality, process-reliable components, with continuous digitisation up to fully automated tool presetting and secure transmission of digital tool data to the machine.
