An extended flute tool is said to work both with high depth of cut and considerable overhang.

You don’t often hear of someone claiming to have been surrounded by wire-cut EDM systems as a child. But Andreas Hornung, the managing director of Hornung, fondly remembers the machines of his father’s firm. Today, the company is equipped with several machines from Mitsubishi Electric.

At the Moulding Expo, Roemheld demonstrates the potential of clamping and handling technology for more productivity and efficiency in fabrication. For their first participation in the trade fair, the Group focuses on clamping elements with anti-rotation pistons to compensate side loads and torques.

The remarkable strength-to-weight ratio and highly corrosion-resistant properties of titanium have resulted in the ever-growing use of this important engineering material in many demanding sectors. Current developments make the cutting of the material more effective.

With its Flexflow technology, Italian hot runner specialist HRS Flow has developed an innovative solution for the injection moulding of high-quality parts primarily for the automotive industry.

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.

It is the nightmare of every manufacturer: While working on a important and time-sensitive production project, a machining centre fails and stops working. The only possible rescue is a quick replacement of the machine. In case of FGP Systems, they were able to get a replacement in the course of two weeks.

From 27 – 29 June 2017, PSE Europe 2017 will be opening its doors at the MOC Munich. At PSE Europe 2017, leading manufacturers will showcase innovative PU applications and solutions. Part of the shows programme is the Feature Area. In this dedicated space, exhibiting companies display innovative PU products. The exhibits showcase how Polyurethane applications enable specific product innovations.

Switzerland - Excessive vibrations are the nemesis of surface quality and tool preservation. Not so for Liechti Engineering where toolmakers rely on a clever clamping system produced by their compatriots at Rego-Fix.
