Customers can now achieve faster processing times thanks to the hybrid Milling/Grinding capabilities available on the Milling machine series Mikron MILL S/X (U). The machines in these series are now able to combine milling and jig grinding on the same machine without any impact on its footprint or its performance.
Individual items and small batches in the field of sophisticated precision mechanics for customers in the electronics, aviation and medical sectors as well as in mechanical and systems engineering are the core expertise of HS-ferinnotec GmbH from Zeilarn. The team, which now consists of 17 staff, has been providing top quality at competitive prices since 1992.
The recent discovery of a large number of counterfeit NSK bearings in Johannesburg, South Africa, highlights the need to remain vigilant in the face of criminals who look to put the safety and integrity of industrial machinery and humans at risk. Towards the end of April 2022, a Police search and seizure operation (initiated by NSK) led to the confiscation of thousands of replica bearings (98% industrial types) worth an estimated R5 million. Criminal and civil proceedings are now underway against the perpetrators, who will shortly receive a court summons.
The Studio System now offers a total of eight materials, delivering more material flexibility than any other metal extrusion 3D printing system on the market.
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.
At the RAPID+TCT Conference, Materialise, a global leader in 3D printing solutions, introduces Magics 26, the latest version of its industry-leading data and build preparation software. Magics 26 combines support for native CAD workflows with its existing mesh capabilities. This provides users with the best of both worlds, enabling them to boost productivity while maintaining quality by choosing the optimal workflow for each 3D printing project.
The who's who of the industry will meet at AMB from September 13 to 17, 2022 at Messe Stuttgart. SCHUNK is also part of the community that is burning with passion and commitment for metalworking. After a long hiatus, this community is finally coming together again in person. The technology leader will be showcasing automation and digitalization options for machining as well as new developments in the field of sustainable, resource-efficient clamping devices.
The pandemic has undoubtedly changed the way we work, but for OPEN MIND Technologies, undergoing an extensive online tendering and prove-out process against its competitors was an exciting new challenge. RE Thompson has ambitious plans for its manufacturing facility and implementing the correct CAM system was seen as a critical decision requiring due diligence for the subcontract manufacturer.
Global engineering technologies company, Renishaw, has installed a RenAM 500Q Flex Additive manufacturing (AM) system at aerospace manufacturer GKN Aerospace's state-of-the-art Global Technology Centre in Bristol, UK. Taking its place alongside the latest technologies and manufacturing processes for the next generation of aircraft, the RenAM 500Q Flex will provide valuable feedback on how to optimise AM for aerospace applications.
