…it is possible! To reach such a level of performance, a different machining concept should be used. I visited the Swiss, located in Genevey-sur-Coffrane, machine manufacturer Esco. I discovered machines working from coil or with barloaders attaining that output of production. The tools are rotating around the material to be machined and the company offers a wide range of turnkey solutions. Meeting With Jean-Marc Schouler, CEO. A simple concept Located in the heart of the Swiss watchmaking (…)

The next METAV will soon take place. This time it’s being held very early in the year, from 23 to 27 February 2010 in Düsseldorf. It is thus the first international trade fair next year to offer an overview of the entire technology involved in metalworking. The trade visitors have a welcome opportunity to bring themselves comprehensively up to date on the advances being made in terms of production technology. This is of particular interest to those who were unable to travel to the EMO in (…)

With its innovative 1 MHz Ultrasonic Micro Cleaning (UMC) module generator, Weber Ultrasonics has created the ideal conditions for efficient and reproducible cleanliness in microtechnical and nanotechnical production. The 250 and 500 Watt power classes allow the new megasonic device to adapt to individual cleaning requirements. Innovative high-tech components make it possible to achieve maximum performance while demanding a minimum of space: up to six UMC modules can be integrated in a 19" (…)
