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.

Germany — High metal removal rates, maximum process reliability and long tool life: The Multiedge T90 PRO8 tangential indexable insert milling system from LMT Tools offers high performance and economic efficiency. The system is ideally suited for roughing and semi-finishing operations in steel, cast iron and stainless steels.

Germany — The increasing quantities of e-motors are challenging production planners: In many application areas, they have to establish new solutions with which components, such as the e-motor drive shaft, can be manufactured faster and more efficiently — and with holistic production systems. A new example Emag realised for a supplier company producing components for e-mobility shows how a turnkey solution can look like.

Germany — In its new “VHM Tools 2021” catalog, the tool manufacturer Inovatools from Kinding-Haunstetten presents a comprehensive portfolio of innovative cutting solutions for a broad range of applications in a variety of industries.

Germany — A collaboration between CAM software component provider Module Works, machining solutions and tool manufacturer Sandvik Coromant, and HCL Technologies, manufacturer of CAM Works, has produced one of the first commercial implementations of the new Prime Turning methodology in a CAM system.

UK — One of East China’s premier engineering academies has placed an order for a British-built Zenith 400 helical profile grinding machine from Rochdale-based PTG Holroyd. Valued at approximately 1.5 million euros, the machine is scheduled to be shipped to China ready for installation in summer 2022.

Germany — Machining centre manufacturer Röders has introduced to its machining centre range an upgraded CNC system capable of programming and controlling a full range of metalcutting operations more efficiently, from roughing through high-speed milling to micron-accuracy jig grinding.

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.

UK — New CAM software from Hexagon provides manufacturers dedicated 6-axis CNC machine programming tools that reduce the need for expert intervention on the shop floor, improving the utilisation of advanced machinery, and avoiding the risk of costly damage.

Germany — In aircraft construction, thousands of bores have to be drilled into composite components and material assemblies for riveted connections. Solid carbide drills with a diamond coating are usually used for this. However, these are unsuitable for special applications. What's the alternative?
