The 4th Exhibition for Metal Working & Forming, AMB China 2014, successfully closed its doors in the Nanjing International Expo Centre in October. AMB China 2014 covered an area of nearly 24,000 m2 in hall E and hall F in the Nanjing International Expo Centre, a significant increase compared with last year. The exhibition attracted 257 enterprises, representing a more than 40% increase to last year. Successful fourth edition The trade show registered over 11.000 professional visits (…)

The recently introduced CoroCut® QD concept for deep external grooving and parting off from Sandvik Coromant, now adds internal machining to the application range of these secure and reliable tools. The CoroCut QD system from October 1st will include CoroTurn® SL blades for deep grooves in internal machining. The modularity of the CoroTurn SL interface enables tool assemblies to be optimized for the specific application. High process security Internal grooving and parting off with long (…)

For a wide range of manufacturing process clamping parts with process reliability, just with the power of the atmosphere, requires the use of vacuum chucks. High accuracy of chucks can normally be achieved using self-stable but completely light-proof designs, which means use in laboratories or optical areas is often restricted. Application possibilities incorporating light transmittance, either via built-in lighting elements or via transparent structures, are increasingly in demand. The (…)

After the launch of the vibration-damped shell mill holders for milling applications, the Swedish tool manufacturer Seco Tools is presenting a new patented system for static turning operations. There is an ever-increasing demand within industry for tools with a long overhang for the cutting of large, complex work pieces with deep cavities. However, the negative side effect of these tools is often vibrations. Vibration-damped Steadyline boring bars will reduce these vibrations by means of a (…)

Mapal has developed a new generation of tangential indexable inserts for roughing and semi-finishing operations. The sintered CTMQ inserts with four cutting edges are particularly cost-effective in applications with larger admissible tolerances, as is generally the case for roughing. Tailored in the first step to the machining of steel and cast iron, the indexable inserts have innovative coatings developed on Mapal‘s in-house coating line. The tangential indexable inserts are classified in (…)

Delcam has partnered with Cranfield University, Airbus Group and the University of Bath in a major project looking at the use of Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM, more commonly known as 3-D printing) to revolutionise the production of titanium alloy aircraft components. The £995,000 project, which began at the Cranfield University Welding Engineering and Laser Processing Centre in January 2014, is looking at the industrial potential of RAWFEED, Rolling Assisted Wire Feed Direct Deposition (…)

Noris cold forming taps „Spanlos Neo HR“ allow a process-safe threading even in difficult to machine steels up to 1400 N/mm² tensile strength. For this, Reime Noris developed a cold forming tap which can withstand high mechanical stress. The powder metallurgical substrate HSS-PS (HSSE-PM) and the special asymmetrical design of the pressing lands are the reasons. Optimal grinding and coating technologies guarantee low torque and perfect thread surfaces. 3 versions to choose from The (…)

Multilaser technology, improved 3D process monitoring and segmented exposure strategy for the laser melting of metals. Concept Laser presents the new M2 (with multilaser technology) cusing (concept fusing) system featuring numerous innovations and a modern machine design. Doing so the pionner of laser melting bring fresh ideas for 2015. The new M2 cusing is being brought out with a new, modern appearance. However, in addition to its new look, the machine also has a fully integrated (…)

EuroMold, World Fair for Moldmaking and Tooling, Design and Application Development, is moving from Frankfurt to Düsseldorf. For the first time now the event running from 6 to 9 October 2015 will be held at the exhibition centre on the Rhine. December 2014 UPDATE: The dates of Euromold have been changed to September 22 to 25, 2015! This news was announced yesterday by Managing Directors of the organiser DEMAT GmbH, Diana Schnabel and Dr.-Ing. Eberhard Döring. Annually, the trade fair (…)
