MAPAL extends the long-standing partnership with Edeco Tool.

MAPAL has developed a complex four-bladed actuating tool to round off its solution portfolio for stator drilling.

In the die & mould sector, it’s usually difficult to directly compare precision tools from different manufacturers because there are always different parts with different requirements to be produced.

When MAPAL was given the opportunity to take over the complete machining of a die at Umformtechnik Radebeul GmbH, the manufacturers were amazed at how much time could be saved.

Mass production of precise turning workpieces on multi-spindle automated lathes is subject to its own rules. The highest component quality only guarantees admission to the competition. In a hotly contested market, every tiny opportunity for cost reduction must be taken.

The international Gnutti Carlo Group, headquartered in Italy, is a global supplier in the automotive, e-mobility and heavy industry sectors with around 4,000 employees and 14 locations worldwide. For the digitalisation of tool management, the Gnutti Carlo Group relies on the collaborative c-Com software solutions.

MAPAL expects huge growth in machining solutions for electric vehicles. The tool manufacturer has focused on ambitious components that will be produced in large quantities in future. The new Basic, Performance and Expert classification describes customer-specific solutions for their machining.

Equipping young people for the world of industry – that’s Gewerbliche Schule Göppingen’s mission. The commercial school teaches vocational students, student technicians and the foremen and women of the future. Their curriculums are adapted to current challenges – with digitalisation and industry 4.0 among the key themes.

An interview with Matthias Winter, Global Head of Segment Management Automotive, in his view, success requires an in-depth understanding of how parts function and the knowledge of where the components are made.

To successfully implement MQL, all parts must be coordinated in the production process. The machine, MQL system, medium, workpiece material, clamping fixture, process sequence, extractor system, tool and clamping technology form one unit. MAPAL offers almost all its tools in versions for MQL.
