Cooling lubricants are essential in machining metals for reducing heat and to remove chips. To achieve efficient results during production, it is important to use the correct cooling lubricant dosing. This can be achieved with a proportional dosing device.

One colour, one sound, one legend! On 12th March 1947, Enzo Ferrari sat down in his Ferrari 125 S for the first time and turned on the V-12 engine with an engine displacement of 1.5 l. The "Red Goddess" was born. What many people do not know is that the Ferrari 125 S was not the first car produced by Ferrari. It is "only" the first one with his name. The reason for that can be found in the modern "Ferrari Myth".

Starrag UK has expanded the number of machines it has in-situ at the Advanced Manufacturing Park with a seven-axis Bumotec s191 linear CNC turn-mill centre being installed at the AMRC with Boeing Centre.

Manufacturing mould tools with a weight of 19 tons does not mean that the milling is less complex than with smaller tools. When German-based Pestel Pur Kunststofftechnik reached the limits of their CAM programming in difficult areas, they had to look for an alternative and turned to Solidcam.

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.
