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 — According to Schaeffler, there are currently two key trends affecting users and manufacturers of machine tools and metal machining centers: the growing use of ancillary automation solutions and the increasing integration of multiple production processes within machine tools themselves. Therefore, the company is constantly developing and refining its portfolio of products and services for machine tools to help customers keep up with these trends.

Italy — At EMO Milano 2021, Horn will be presenting its expanded portfolio of DS-type solid carbide end mills. Thanks to the new high-performance geometry, the tools are suitable for high-performance cutting of high strenght steels.

Utilising the full potential of data ensures not only higher productivity but also paves the way for increased user-friendliness, efficiency and flexibility in machine tool manufacturing. Siemens even goes as far as to promise “Infinite opportunities from infinite data”.

Italy — With its “Tool of the Year” competition 2021, Anca is giving cutting machine operators the chance to win large prize money and worldwide recognition. Together with tool manufacturers and other experts, the tool grinding machine manufacturer is celebrating the achievements of the entire machining industry.

Germany — Already in 2019, on the occasion of the EMO exhibition, Lach Diamant wrote „the trend in milling is towards Monoblock“ — or, in other words, to “renounce“ profitably the use of cartridge milling cutters. The PCD-Monoblock is, in direct comparison with cartridge milling cutters, immediately ready for use — without time-consuming adjustment of the cutting edges needed.

Germany — By optimising a roughing process when recessing 42CrMo4 steel (1.7225) hardened to 1,000 N/mm2, German subcontractor Jörg Bamann CNC Dreh- und Frästeile in Geretsried has been able to save just under 100 minutes per component thanks to the use of DAH high-feed milling cutters manufactured by Tübingen-based Paul Horn.

Germany — EMO 2019 in Hanover was the last time Lach Diamant could present their entire tool range for the automobile and accessories industry, aircraft and wind power industries, for tool and mould making, machine manufacturers, composite industry as well as for medical technology. The company had great plans — but then came the Corona pandemic paralyzing the economy.

Two years after the last trade fair for the metalworking industry took place, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. Metav 2022 is set to open its doors from 8 to 11 March in Düsseldorf.

Italy — The Italian Machine Tools, Robots and Automation Systems Manufacturers’ Association (Ucimu-Sistemi per Produrre), in cooperation with the Italian Trade Agency ICE, organized a press conference for the Chinese market.
