In Human Robot Collaboration, a collaborative robot, Cobot for short, encounters its human colleague without barriers. To do this, the robot has to meet various requirements. Read here which ones and much more.

Additive manufacturing is growing rapidly, as is its sub-section devoted to the printing of metal. Where are the companies pushing boundaries? What is the next technological leap?

GF Machining Solutions will participate in the Moulding Expo (13-16 June) (Hall 1, Stand G21). At the trade fair for tool and mould making, the company will present itself as a solution provider that offers everything from consulting to the successful implementation of production systems from a single source.

The German PLM systems company, Solidline, expands their CAM solution offerings to the USA through a partnership with HCL Technologie, makers of Camworks, and the release of Solidline Camculator.

The partnership between CRP USA and U-Vic Formula Racing has produced many functional parts over the years using carbon fibre filled composites and laser sintering as a manufacturing process. These components are characterised by their versatility, mechanical properties and durability.

At AMB 2022, Kern will be presenting for the first time two machines that are characterised by high precision machining, but which are based on two completely different technologies: the latest generation of the Micro HD five-axis machining centre and the Femto E3 laser machining centre.

With Vinkocide BB WM, Vink Chemicals has developed a biocide formulation that keeps metalworking fluids for machine tools free from fungal and bacterial attack over a long period of time. It is easy to handle and meets strict biocide regulations.

Inovatools has developed a new online tool configurator that streamlines the process of ordering, designing, and shipping custom-fit tools for manufacturing applications. This digital service allows users to easily identify and customize tools based on predefined standards and their specific needs.

Researchers are now making it possible to produce complex metallic structures in the nanometre range using 3D printing. And this is how it's done.

The melting of thermoplastic materials requires temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius. In many cases, thermal separation of the injection-moulding machine from the mould mounted in it is essential, if only for safety reasons.
