Recently Chiron presented its new twin spindle machining center for precise 5-axis complete machining in one clamping. This is a true 5-axis center with 2-axis swivel rotary table for simultaneous milling and turning. . . More spindles brings more cutting edges and obviously more profit. By using Chiron multi-spindle machining centers with 2-axis NC tilt rotary table and high performance tools, users can achieve multiple performance increases. With the Chiron DZ-12KS Magnum (…)

Peripheral grinding machines for the manufacture of indexable inserts are not a new invention. The Insert Line offers considerable advantages compared with conventional machines. These range from variable grinding wheel diameters that also allow grinding concave shapes, to superior machine kinematics with hydrostatic guideways, to the quality of the cutting edges and reduced production time. . Production time reduced by up to 50% Grinding wheel diameters of up to 500 mm support the new (…)

This year again Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle AG is organizing an in-house exhibition at the site in Gosheim.

An introduction to the problems encountered in the field of chip treatment and filtration. When you talk to industrial people, you very quickly get onto the subject of their production means and they very often highlight the added value of the machines or facilities. Chip treatment and filtration is a field which is much more seldom taken up, but it is a subject of great ecological and economic importance. We met Mr Eichler, CEO of Rimann/Aryma AG, who offer a complete range of services (…)

At Siams Amada will present the new Mi8, simultaneous 5-axis turning/milling center. This machine concentrates 70 years of know how designed from the standpoint of customers. Size matters “Is it a new brand of turning center? Is it a serious one?” This are legitimate questions when we analyze products offers from different manufacturers. Not knowing a brand can come from the fact the company is small and unknown or that can be because a group has a new name and is building a strong brand (…)
