At this year’s EuroBLECH, TRUMPF is showcasing a new and versatile multigripper that delivers greater productivity for automated bending processes. The innovative vacuum gripper is fitted to the TRUMPF BendMaster robotic arm. Up to 12 grippers can be positioned in this way.
In the metalworking industry, ensuring a high-grade surface finish has always been one of the main directions in cutting tool development. This is also true for indexable face milling cutters. Despite significant improvement in the high surface quality of milled surfaces, tool designers still believe that available resources have not yet exhausted and that intelligent applications of the last generations of advanced milling cutters can substantially improve surface texture.
OPEN MIND Supports Research Project. Leibniz University Hannover’s Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools has researched whether it is possible to save energy when conducting machining work by adjusting coolant lubricant pressure (CL pressure).
Milling challenging materials like tough steels, stainless steels, superalloys and titanium cause built-up or notched edges and broken inserts that increase tooling costs and cause unexpected downtime.
The new machine-level service ensures laser and bending systems are even better protected against cyber-events. It will be available as an option with in bystronic’s well-established service offerings and delivers on bystronic’s strategy to further expand its service business.
Until the turn of the millennium, the innovation potential of machining was considered to be largely exhausted. Notable improvements usually resulted primarily from the use of new tools and materials, faster and “more intelligent” parameter optimizations or their targeted adjustment to individual problems and process variables with the aid of modern control generations.
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.
Palmary Machinery Co., Ltd, the Taiwan-based manufacturer of high performance CNC grinding machines, is migrating control of its advanced CAM series of cylindrical grinders to NUM’s Flexium+ CNC technology.
In June 2022, Sandvik Coromant hosted a four-day ISO standards development meeting at its Sandvik Coromant Center in Sandviken, Sweden. Focusing on how several digital standards, of which Sandvik Coromant helped to form, could enable a collaborative environment across digital machining platforms and unleash the full potential of digital manufacturing, the event welcomed an audience from disciplines across the metal cutting industry.
The world novelty "Q-buddy" developed by Ypsotec AG will be distributed exclusively by IAR Group AG with immediate effect. The IAR Group is thus expanding its product portfolio with an intelligent quality inspection system for the manufacturing industry.
