The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland and MAPAL bundle their skills and develop a generic component together, which is putting MAPAL’s tool expertise in the area of CFRP machining to the test.

If a milling cutter is guided by a robot, the machining is fundamentally more unstable than on a machining centre. To reliably ensure the shortest cycle times in industrial production in this instance, KADIA is using MAPAL’s FlyCutter with three cutting edges in a newly developed system with three robots for deburring battery trays for electric vehicles.

If tools must be safely clamped while also providing good radial run-out, then there’s no getting around shrinking or hydraulic chucks for the clamping devices. When choosing between the methods, technical aspects and personal preferences most often play a role.

Optimum surface finish for every quantity with an extensive and diversified range of tools for reaming, drilling and milling and many years of process experience, MAPAL places a huge focus on aluminium machining.

Simple, fast, safe and reliable – how the Swiss lathe manufacturer TORNOS is optimising the application performance of its multi-spindle lathe with the help of MAPAL hydraulic chucks.

The majority of machines built by NILES-SIMMONS in Chemnitz are used for the machining of rotationally symmetrical workpieces. While turning plays a key role here, MAPAL as a tool manufacturer focuses primarily on cubic parts which are drilled, reamed and milled.

AMB will open its doors in Stuttgart from 13 to 17 September 2022 and is eagerly awaited. On a 390 square metre stand in Hall 1, Stand D10, MAPAL's trade fair presentation is clearly divided into the four focus sectors of automotive, aerospace, die and mould making and fluid power technology.

CAM programming is thus tasked with processing pending machining jobs using the stock of tools on hand. Compromises are often made at the expense of machine running times. In a joint project, MAPAL and the milling machine manufacturer Röders GmbH optimised the interplay between machine, tool and CAM strategy on a generic component.

The transformation of mobility is in full swing. However, it’s clear that motors with turbocharger will continue to be built for some time. Therefore, the machining business continues to strive for tool solutions with higher cutting values, longer tool life and thus lower costs per part. MAPAL has expanded its portfolio for turbocharger housing in order to make the entire machining process even more productive.

Compared to conventional metal designs, parts made of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) are considerably lighter with the same load capacity. This offers great advantages – and not just in the aerospace industry. Low weight, high strength and low mass forces are also important in numerous other fields of application.
