To properly clean parts, it is very often necessary to use specific washing baskets. Rimann who took over the “washing basket” activity of UMC in 2011 shows a positive result of this operation and presents very interesting news... The Kögel PK-Clip modular system allows washing very different parts with the guarantee to not damage them. With the purchase of the UMC brand Rimann offered the possibility of development, production and supply of tailored washing or treatment baskets. A year (…)

Springmann just announced it will present many highlights from its broad range of solutions in terms of production means and peripherals on its A09 booth (Halle 1) at Prodex. Among other, visitors will be able to discover the Index MS 22C-8 as Swiss premiere. With the new INDEX MS16C of the MultiLine series, the Esslingen multi-spindle specialists just presented a CNC multi-spindle lathe featuring six spindles for up to 16 mm diameter parts. This new machine won’t be shown at Prodex but (…)

FSRM organizes a new course on laser micromachining on November 12 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The course is aimed at engineers, technical managers and those interested in gaining a wider understanding of laser micromachining systems, techniques and applications. This course is primarily aimed at introducing the basic concepts of laser micromachining and allowing participants to appreciate the practical elements involved in undertaking laser micromachining tasks. It is suitable for those (…)

The new SRINT 50 from DMG/Mori Seiki is offered with different modular expansion options, from the 2-turret version with Twin concept through to automatic lathes with 3 turrets and B-axis for production. Equipped with an additional B-axis with torque drive and Y-axis in the bottom turret, the Sprint 50 makes 6-sided complete machining with a negative angle possible. The Sprint brand name in the DMG / Mori Seiki portfolio will continue to be synonymous with premium-class high-speed (…)

The Newemag | Schneider mc booth at Prodex is visible from the main entrance. As the fairground is undergoing vast transformations, the main entrance had to be moved at the end of hall 1.0. Thus the Newemag |Schneider mc booth is the first that you can visit in the morning. Mr. Habermacher, responsible for marketing says: "We will welcome you with pleasure with coffee and croissants and we look forward to your visit. In Basel, we will present, among other things, on stand A21 in hall 1.0 a (…)

The new version of Vericut (7.2) features many enhancements to improve speed, thereby reducing the time required for manufacturing engineers to develop, analyze, inspect and document the CNC programming and machining process. Along with proactively adding new features, CGTech developers and engineers are focusing on implementing hundreds of customer-driven enhancements. More possibilities “For Vericut 7.2 we continue to focus on the customer’s use of Vericut and how we can improve the (…)

For users planning to invest into a highly productive 4-axis machining centre, Heller’s H series has been first choice since its premiere at EMO 2007. Since then, 650 machines of the series have been sold including more than 360 machining centres model H 2000. At AMB 2012, Heller in co-operation with the Institute of Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW) of Darmstadt University impressively demonstrated the high productivity and quality of the machine. Under the motto (…)

In these ever changing times, a single solution is not always sufficient and engineers are repeatedly looking at different ways to improve products. Utilising a synergy of different coating technologies and a matching carbide substrate was the answer when developing the latest Mitsubishi high performance P20 turning grade, MC6025. . “2 in 1 technology” combines 2 types of CVD coatings that can deliver a machining performance to fully satisfy modern production requirements. The ultra (…)

Materials for components are constantly becoming harder, more wear resistant, more high-temperature resistant and thus more demanding during machining. The use of modern, highly-hard cutting grades is booming as these materials convince through substantial mechanical and thermal properties. At the occasion of the AMB 2012 in Stuttgart the Swedish tool manufacturer Seco Tools presented his comprehensive programme of highly wear-resistant inserts for hard turning. Numerous materials – (…)

With the new MS16C of the MultiLine series, the Esslingen multi-spindle specialists present for the first time an Index CNC multi-spindle lathe featuring six spindles for up to 16 mm diameter parts. The Index CNC multi-spindle lathe MS16C is custom-configurable in the number of grooving slides and cross-slides. The six-spindle machine, built from a multi-spindle modular component system, aims to replace the widely used but costly to set up fast cam-controlled multi-spindle lathes that (…)
