In recent years, Porsche Werkzeugbau in Schwarzenberg, Germany, has taken its mechanical machining to the highest technical level. Two large Starrag HSC machining centres Droop+Rein Fogs play a major part in this. The machines are used to finish press tools for moulding skin parts of vehicle bodies with the utmost precision and produce surfaces with grinding quality.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024, Heller Machine Tools in Redditch stands as a testament to five decades of engineering excellence and innovation. Since its inception, the UK subsidiary of German-based Gebr. Heller Maschinenfabrik has grown into a vital global center for machining solutions, specializing in the production of advanced 4- and 5-axis horizontal machining centers.

IMTS 2024’s Software Sector is set to showcase over 120 exhibitors and introduce numerous technology innovations. Key exhibitors like Siemens, Hexagon, and others will present advancements aimed at optimising machine and business performance.

The IMTS will take place from September 9-14, 2024, in Chicago, showcasing global industry innovations in advanced and traditional manufacturing, robotics, automation, and digital transformation. WFL will present the M50 Millturn, known as the “WFL power pack,” at their booth.

Software company Open Mind will be exhibiting at AMB from 10 to 14 September 2024 in Stuttgart. The manufacturer of the HypermillI CAD/CAM suite will not only be presenting innovative extensions to its software, but also its range of services, from practical training to solution concepts for process optimisation.

Hypermill 2024 the latest version of Open Mind’s CAD/CAM suite delivers new turning features and improved algorithms. This makes the digital process chain even more efficient, from CAD data and CAM programming to optimized NC code. Simplified rest machining and interaction with machine are just a few examples of how the software has been further refined.

From September 10 to 14, 2024, the metalworking industry will converge at Messe Stuttgart for the AMB exhibition. WFL will amongst others showcase the M20-G Millturn, designed for compact and powerful machining, and the M50 Millturn, featuring live demonstrations of aviation and power generation part machining.

Productive Machines has launched its flagship technology as a fully automated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. This innovative offering, Sense NC Finesse, stands out as the first of its kind to automate the optimisation of milling operations comprehensively.

Using six modern milling centers, Ingmetal produces around 200 moulds annually. Facing challenges with machine collisions and inefficiencies, the company adopted Vericut CNC simulation, verification, and optimization software in 2021, through Axiom Tech, to enhance NC code accuracy and machine operation.

Software company Mastercam UK announced its first participation at the Mach 2024 show, Birmingham, UK, April 15-19, which is the UK’s national manufacturing event.
