The machine tool manufacturer bavius technologie gmbh was able to achieve impressive material removal rates of over 20 litres per minute on its new high-end model HBZ AeroCell 160 with a new generation of aluminium high-volume milling cutters from the tool manufacturer MAPAL.

With its in-depth knowledge in the field of coating technology, MAPAL also develops extremely hard and wear-resistant diamond coatings for machining materials such as CFRP, ceramics, graphite and aluminium alloys.

The aircraft component structural supplier SME Aerospace approached MAPAL Malaysia with the request for an improved machining time for a titanium part. The latest generation of titanium tools and an improved machining strategy made it possible to achieve a time saving of over three hours per part.

MAPAL has commissioned a unique laser hardening system to replace tasks in the hardening workshop, ensuring quality and protecting employee health and the environment, as it gradually takes over tasks previously performed in a salt bath.

With the MEGA-Deep-Drill-Steel, MAPAL showcases the new standard for deep drilling at the EMO, which has been specially designed for machining steel and cast iron.

When a sports car manufacturer was running short on structural parts, it put its trust in the process expertise of the mechanical engineers at Wenzler. In order to meet ambitious deadlines set by the automobile manufacturer, Wenzler pooled its expertise with tool manufacturer MAPAL.

The aim is to make the operational processes at all the Group’s sites more sustainable. MAPAL has already proactively implemented a series of measures in recent years. By 2025, the company wants to reduce the energy-related CO2 emissions of its products by 40 percent compared to 2015.

The EMO in Hanover is on the international trade fair schedule in September. MAPAL will present itself on around 480 square metres in Hall 4, Stand A18.

MAPAL shows that this not only allows greater process reliability, but even shorter machining times, an alternative for long-chipping aluminium materials.

Improved workpiece clamping for large carbon-fibre parts enables the aerospace industry to machine more quickly. MAPAL supports this development with new tools.
