Horn presents tools for pre-drilling, finish boring, axial reduction and reaming pre-machining. The machining benefits of the Supermini® tools when boring out holes measuring 0.2 mm and greater can now also be enjoyed using the DB05 digital fine-boring head. DB05 fine-boring head with digital display of the adjustment travel. Holes measuring 0.2 to 14 mm in diameter can be finish-bored in conjunction with the type 105 and 110 Supermini® toolholders and inserts. Use of carbide or steel (…)

The ability to turn and mill complex parts and perform multiple operations on one machine increases throughput, reduces handling, and improves accuracy. The New Generation ST-10Y CNC lathe from Haas Automation, Inc., provides an economical solution for small parts turning with reduced handling, in a compact package that is loaded with full-size features and includes live tooling with C-axis. The Haas ST-10Y turning centre was designed from the ground up to be extremely rigid, highly (…)

Micro technology is the name of the new area for which the Röhm experts – for the first time – offer clamping solutions for small and smallest workpieces. Power operated chuck KFG 90/8 with 8 jaws for even force distribution and deformation free centric clamping. By using intelligent clamping technology for the watch, jewellery and medical industry, the company specializes in an area where delicate solutions are required, which do not deform the workpiece. Röhm shows innovative technology (…)

Noise is vibration and vibrations can be detrimental to machining. Although vibrations are part of the machining process, it is when vibrations reach unsatisfactory levels that they become a problem. Milling, as an intermittent cutting process, is especially prone to vibrations and when milling is performed with cutters at a long overhang, productivity is all too often compromised. This does not have to be the case using a new-generation of dampened tool-adaptors dedicated to specific (…)

Hermle AG is presenting its new C 400 basic machining center at the AMB in Stuttgart. The new 5-axis machining center is showcased at Stand D 52 in Hall 7.0, and is sure to find a place on the market thanks to its strength and precision. With this machine the company offers the Hermle quality with less customizing possibilities and very attractive price. Hermle has drawn upon its proven core competence in 5-axis technology to develop the C 400 basic, which builds upon the (…)

To shorten the reaction time between specific requests of customers and delivery of machines, one of the areas of work is the implementation of products based on the combination of proven solutions; another is to dispose of stock of some of these components. At the occasion of the 75 years of Emissa, we met with Mr. Pierre Boschi director and owner to discuss on the history of the company, its forces, its products and its future. Emissa is known for providing special machines finely adapted (…)
