UK – Yamazaki Mazak is taking 12 machines to AMB 2016, exhibiting the full breath of its machine range and new Smooth Technology, the world’s fastest CNC, the company claims.

The production of die-casting, plastic mould injection tools and sheet metal working tools used mostly in the automotive industry requires extremely high precision, up to hundredths of a millimetre. The success of a part or a whole project can depend on these strict tolerances, hence, using the appropriate technology is key. Although they are not complete solutions in themselves, proper EDM machine tools are best suited to perform these tasks. This is exactly how Naton sees it, a Hungarian company that designs and manufactures precision tools exclusively for the die casting industry.

Germany –Skantek is the main supplier for coolant nozzles for CNC machines to large tooling distribution groups and CNC machines manufacturers in Germany.

Mapal has introduced a wide range of products especially for the die and mould sector. From milling with fixed and replacement blades and drilling to countersinking and reaming, the company provides it all.

With OPS-Ingersoll’s high-speed Eagle V9 milling machine 3D geometries or 3D surfaces can be produced efficiently and reliably for the die and mould industry due to its high dynamics and precision. In contrast, the Promech company in Abtwil, Switzerland moved into a completely new territory with this machine. Here, the focus was primarily on parts production for the medical industry. Accordingly, the requirements for a universal and at the same time high-precision machine were demanding.

Germany — With the Carb Loop, LMT Tools is expanding its tool portfolio with solid carbide cutters that have been specially developed for trochoidal milling.

Germany — The production of a glass container starts with the design of the mould. The more precisely the mould is designed and manufactured, the better its quality in terms of glass distribution, visual appearance, strength and weight. The weight in turn plays an important role in energy consumption and resource efficiency.

Germany – The Komet Group will be presenting a number of new developments and innovations under the banner of “Total Productivity Solutions”.

US /Europe – US-based CNC machine tool manufacturer, Haas Automation, will use the upcoming AMB 2016 exhibition in Stuttgart to present an ‘advance sight’ of a new Y-axis CNC turning centre, as well as a prototype of a newly developed compact mill for micro-machining, and two new CNC rotary tables.

Germany - Over the course of three years, Joke has further developed and redesigned its flagship surface technology product Eneska. Eneska micro now comes with more horsepower, improved ergonomics, and is downward compatible.
