That’s under the moto “Micro-mechatronics – from intelligent systems to the factory of the future” that Micronora opens its doors today in Besançon (till Friday). Medical, aerospace, consumer goods, automotive for instance are, technologically speaking, feeding each other; however keeping a common point: the incompressible need to find components increasingly miniaturised for their products whose sophistication continues to escalate. Focused on micro-mechatronics Micro-mechatronics meets (…)

The 40th International Conference on Micro and Nano Engineering, Lausanne, Switzerland – September 22 − 26, 2014, Venue: Swiss Tech Convention Center, EPFL Over 800 persons have registered for MNE 2014 and the short course and exhibition are now full. On-site registration is still possible. MNE 2014 Program Highlights At the heart of MNE is the scientific program, and the organisers have the pleasure to announce outstanding keynote speakers with the MNE 2014 fellowship recipient Prof. (…)

Still one day to take advantages of the Stuttgart exhibition park and discover targeted solutions in terms of machines, tools, peripherals or coolant (among others). The place has been well crowded the whole week and the organisers expect 90’000 visitors. (We at Eurotec have fetched a lot of valuable information we will forward to you here and on our paper issues). Today, a piece of news from Sandvik. Extended steel turning endurance Tooling and tooling system specialist Sandvik Coromant (…)

In grinding technology, the trend is still full-sequence machining. Especially with workpieces with complex geometries that need to be finished on grinding machines with high degrees of freedom, this reduces queue time and work-in-process inventory. At the same time, less re-chucking means more precision. High quality production parts and tools for milling, indexable inserts and step drills are all examples of this. At AMB, HAAS Schleifmaschinen GmbH in Trossingen, Germany is presenting (…)

The Swiss tooling manufacturer presents its new cooling concept on drills and mills. The coolant through the shank provides an efficient cooling to the point of the tool. The result is a reliable process and an increceased productivity. Cooling channels are integrated into the carbide shaft. Coolant ports are at the end of the shaft taper where they produce a steady and massive cooling effect of the cutting edges which facilitates in turn high cutting speeds. A targeted flushing of the (…)

The AMB Stuttgart started yesterday with the halls full of visitors. At the DMG MORI booth (quite crowded too), many novelties. Among them, the new Lasertec 65D hybrid machine. Let’s have a look at it. For the first time additive manufacturing is integrated into a high-tech 5-axis milling machine. This innovative hybrid-solution combines the flexibility of the laser metal deposition process with the precision of the cutting process and therewith allows additive manufacturing in milling (…)

AMB, International Exhibition for Metal Working, is regarded as the leading industry event in even years and ranks among the world’s top 5 exhibitions for this industry. The time has come: more than 1,300 exhibitors from almost thirty countries will present the latest developments in machine tools, precision tools and their associated products for metal cutting. AMB will be the industry highlight in 2014. Many news to be discovered We cannot describe all the innovative products to be (…)

Medical applications will be one of the highlights of the next Micronora 2014 trade show. Products with high added value and complex to manufacture, implants and other prosthesis, all require dedicated solutions that many exhibitors will offer. (Vous pouvez télécharger cet article en français ici). Attracted by a burgeoning market, manufacturers of equipment for the manufacture of implants, prostheses and other medical products offer solutions to an industry that leaves no room for (…)

The SSXA and SSXC tool systems from the Dieterle tool manufacturer’s range are technically perfected and tested. They are designed for use on automatic turning machines, in particular sliding headstock versions, and offer excellent day-to-day performance thanks to their wide range of applications and practicality. Two complementary systems The dual cutting edge inserts used on the SSXA system are fixed laterally in the perfectly-formed housing in the tool holder. The dual cutting edge (…)

The dates have now been finalised for the EMO Hannover 2017, the world’s premier trade fair for the metalworking sector. The VDW (German Machine Tool Builders’ Association) in Frankfurt am Main, which is responsible for organising the EMO Hannover, has announced the dates of next issue. . From September 18 to 23, 2017. “We are announcing the dates well in advance so that exhibitors and visitors can make their plans in good time”, says Dr. Wilfried Schäfer, Executive Director of the (…)
