Machine tools like milling and turning centres must minimise processing time and maximise output, all while producing high-quality finished parts to tight tolerances. Bearings are central to this premise. Visitors to Booth C42 in Hall 7 at EMO Hannover 2023 (18-23 September) will find the perfect platform for exploring NSK’s latest bearing solutions.

The provider of measurement software, consulting and training, Digital Metrology Solutions, has introduced Trace Boss+ (Trace Boss Plus) software, integrating surface texture and crosshatch measurement in a single package.

A new addition to the Ifanger Microturn internal boring tool system addresses the challenge of stringy swarf seen when machining materials like unleaded brass. Such materials previously required manual intervention during machining cycles due to the 'birds nest' swarf effect. The newly introduced boring tools prevent lost production time, enhance surface finishes, and allow for longer unmanned machining.

The CAD/CAM software supplier Cimatron has released version 2024 with stronger core capabilities across all areas of the product, while incorporating new technology through collaboration with Sandvik Coromant. Cimatron 2024 simplifies and automates many tasks for tool designers for higher productivity and more options for digital connection.

At EMO Hannover, the Eppinger Group is presenting precise solutions around machine tools. New highlights from the three production sectors tool holders, rotary tables and gearboxes will be exhibited at Booth F41 in Hall 005. The latest version of the Quick-Lock BMT tool clamping system will also be on show for the first time.

The complex injection moulding tool for a car headlight's LED fiber optic cable proved to be a real challenge for the milling professionals at Color Metal in Heitersheim. They tackled this task with flying colors using the new roughing and finishing cutters from Moldino. And they did so in a significantly shorter time.

In the rapidly evolving field of manufacturing, the pursuit of efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness has led to groundbreaking research and technological advancements. One such area of innovation is the application of additive manufacturing processes in the design and production of cutting tools.

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.

CNC grinding technology pioneers Anca will showcase their latest products, and industry-specific grinding and automation solutions at EMO (Stand F52, Hall 6). Also, the winner of the renowned Tool of the Year competition will be announced live Wednesday 20 September at 4.30 pm (GMT).

The tool and cutter grinders from Anca can effectively manufacture a range of threadmilling cutters. Customers wanting to manufacture this cutter in large volume or for lights-out manufacturing can make use of our Laser Ultra technology for measurement and compensation inside the machine.
