German machining centre manufacturer Roeders has introduced a new production centre, the RXU 2000, for manufacturing large components requiring a high degree of precision.

Oerlikon HRS Flow has unveiled its innovative HRS Cool Evo system, which offers substantial energy savings and reduced maintenance time. The novel system eliminates the need for active water cooling of the hydraulic cylinder that positions the pin, potentially reducing energy consumption by up to ten percent.

Cutting tool specialist Walter has expanded its WL copy turning system with the introduction of the new WL17 indexable inserts for Swiss type automatic lathes and small diameter machining. Used on the W1011-S-P external turning toolholder, which is also a new arrival along with the W1210/W1211 boring bars, they bring the benefits of the existing WL25 inserts to smaller dimensions.

As part of its Onshape product development platform, PTC has made available a cloud-native simulation. Onshape simulation enables designers and engineers to perform finite element analysis (FEA) in a fast and simple way and to make informed design decisions with structural analysis throughout the product development process.

Digitalization in the steel and metal trade is far from being as widespread as it could be - at the same time, getting started has never been easier.

With a wire machine it is all about producing sharp radii and smooth surfaces, especially on the interior of ejector pin holes. For mould maker BM Injection, that is exactly what the U32j from Makino has produced right from the start due to a combination of rigid machine build, thermal stability and the Hyper-i control.

What does the future of the industry hold? What are the challenges to be overcome? What does the digital transformation already enable today and how will it progress? This guest article by Dale Tutt from Siemens Digital Industries Software provides answers.

As of February 1st, 2023, the Irish company PMT Premier Machine Tools (PMT), a supplier of machining solutions for the medical industry, will become part of the products and services offering from Seco. With this acquisition Seco will increase its presence in the medical segment offering integrated manufacturing solutions.

6K Additive and the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT announced a collaboration to create a complete life cycle assessment (LCA) for additive manufacturing. The study conducted at the labs of Fraunhofer ILT analyzes an additively manufactured industrial component that includes the environmental impact from powder, printing, and post-processing.

The NTX series of B-axis turning and milling centres built by DMG Mori has been expanded by a new model at the smaller capacity end of the range, which now comprises five machines.
