Using complementary techniques for saving time, productivity and therefore money; this is what a company succeeds in each order thanks to a strong partnership with a French machine tool manufacturer. The Realmeca 5 axes high speed machining Center are known for their accuracy and to integrate the latest live measurement systems. On this machine, probing, tools laser measuring and camera control combine to achieve an optimal accuracy. When SFOB explains the many categories of fast and (…)

Each year a large number of new products are launched on the machine tool market, but real innovative breaks are rare. One of the reasons for this relative reluctance to innovate is the difficulty of getting off the beaten track and reinventing the trade. Moreover, it is extremely expensive to develop a new machine. A manufacturer who can rely on tried and tested modules to create new solutions has an undeniable advantage. We met Mr Pierre Boschi, Director of Emissa S.A. in Le Locle (…)

For the AMB in Stuttgart, DMG will present 25 high-tech machines in action, among these six world premieres as well as future-oriented power cell systems from the Energy Solutions division .At the AMB, DMG Microset GmbH takes tool presetting to the next level with its new matrix technology. The control unit of the MICROSET system uses an air cushion to move over a 100 % level glass pane with a DataMatrix code in the form of a chess pattern ("Matrix"). The camera holder freely moving on the (…)

At the "Technical Synergies" exhibition, I’ve met M. Michel Godel, head of the Hass Factory Outlet Switzerland, member of the management of Urma. The hole making specialists is one of the leading manufacturer in this field. The company manufactures tooling systems, modular boring systems and super finishing tools. Open House Urma. Urma has production plants in Switzerland, Germany, China and Brazil and exports 85% of its production on 35 countries. The product range in reaming is (…)

A few companies have reunited their skills in the "Technical Synergies" association. The aim of this group of companies (that are not linked by any means but member of the association) is to bring more know-how to their customers. An event was organized today in La Neuveville, Switzerland. Obviously we were there. Report! Before the start of the show this morning. Everything was prepared to welcome visitors (also with excellent local specialties for meals and beverages). It was a first (…)

Since Recomatic and Bula technologies merged a little more than one year ago, the companies went on well and developed some new products (see theeurotec’s news here - [www.recomatic.ch->http://www.recomatic.ch

Founded in 1998, the company Tectri based in Court, in the middle of the historical cradle of high precision turning, decided to use fixed headstock machines to produce highly precise parts up to 51mm or more (and by the way, they are working with oil*). . 12 years ago, Newemag was the company’s first machine tool provider with one, then two and three… till six Miyano BNE machines. 10 years later, Tectri has started the replacement of the old machines, not because no longer efficient (…)

The new ST-38 from Star Micronics further develops the series of complex KNC-32 and SV-32 machines. The triple turret design allows users to capitalize on the capability of simultaneous machining. A machine for highly complex parts which is nevertheless easily programmed with a standard FANUC control system to exploit the machining possibilities for parts up to a diameter of 38 mm. 3 turrets allow almost limitless flexibility. They enable the ST-38 to machine turned parts which require up (…)

Tornos offers a large range of automatic multispindle lathes with both 6 and 8 spindles and the company provides solutions which are perfectly suited to machining small diameters. Although machines with 6 spindles are perfect for machining diameters of 1 to 32 mm, producing complex parts at high output rates requiring more work stations has been limited to 24 mm - until now. With their new MultiAlpha and MultiSigma 8 x 28, Tornos is meeting this demand. Manufacturers, from the automotive (…)

To achieve high precision results, microtechology applications need to rely on powerful and reliable gears. This can be found in micromotors, aeronautics, medical devices or watch industry; these applications need gears or micro-gears of high precision and outstanding quality. There are several ways to cut such gears. We met Mr Graf, responsible for sales at Affolter (Malleray, Switzerland) which provides machines dedicated to the achievement of such gears. . Affolter benefits from an (…)
