Installation of a Roeders 5-axis machining centre at Circle in Weilmünster, Germany, has transformed the engineering service provider's ability to deliver machined prototypes and small batches of components in short lead times.

WFL Millturn Technologies will present two turning-boring-milling machines at EMO: the M50 Millturn / 3,000 mm and the M80X Millturn / 4,500 mm. Visitors can experience the M80X live with a demonstration of the machining of a gear shaft, including measurement of the gear teeth. Both machines feature a new design and are equipped with Sinumerik One.

The Silent Tools Plus boring bar from Sandvik Coromant is designed to enhance productivity and flexibility in machining processes through the use of integrated sensors that monitor temperature, deflection, surface quality, and load. This offers several advantages for operators and the product quality.

One of the key measures of sustainable manufacturing is the reduction or elimination, where possible, of waste. How can CNC simulation and optimisation software minimise or eliminate the various types of waste within a manufacturing business, with an underlying aim to reduce, re-use and recycle?

With a wealth of data generated from production processes of all kinds, shops need to understand how to use that data to their advantage. Now, progressive manufacturers can move toward even greater benefits with software that fulfills the promises of Industry 4.0.

At JEC World 2023, one of the largest global composites shows, held 25th to 27th April, at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, CG Tech will demonstrate how advanced programming strategies and simulation can lead to the production of better composite parts.

Numerical modelling experts for robust generative design, Rafinex, and digital manufacturing specialists, Module Works, have combined workpiece topology optimisation with intelligent toolpath planning in an efficient, sustainable solution for Powder-Bed-Fusion (PBF).

The CAM software Hypermill from Open Mind bears the ‘DMQP’ (DMG Mori Qualified Products) quality seal and is thus part of the DMG Mori product configurator.

Holistic digitalisation is only possible if the administration (top floor) is connected to manufacturing (shop floor). We show how the individual systems are connected both horizontally and vertically by means of IIoT and interoperability.

With its own press shop serving the production facility of a major automotive plant in Eastern Europe, Essex-based Alpine Tools recently entered the market for a new wire EDM machine. Faced with a requirement to manufacture tools for its in-house press operations and various subcontract customers, the company selected a Sodick VL600Q CNC.
