Speed up your tube laser business with the new ByTube Star 130, the high-end tube laser cutter from Bystronic with the most functions. Precision, user-friendliness, and a fully automatic setup with open profiles and ellipses lead to greater flexibility and quality in production.
The Swabian sharpening specialist VOLLMER is celebrating a global premiere at EMO 2021 in Milan: The machine manufacturer is presenting its new VGrind 360S grinding machine for the first time, which can be used to automate the efficient machining of carbide tools such as drills, milling cutters or reamers. The machine is a further development of the VGrind 340S with a higher torque and more flexible automation options. Thanks to optimised linear induction motors, a plate heat exchanger and, for the first time ever, spindle indexing, the VGrind 360S will be especially beneficial for tool manufacturers developing and producing cutting tools for the automotive, toolmaking, medical engineering or aerospace sectors, to name just a few.
Outstanding design that combines aesthetics and function has been confirmed three times for the SM6020 flow sensor: After the product already received the German Design Award in February 2021, ifm is now also pleased to have received the Red Dot Award and the iF Design Award.
A Spanish manufacturer of high-quality stainless steel pressfittings has automated the forming and the in-line quality control of bent tubes made from stainless steel. Laser vision-based bin-picking, automated inspection and clever co-operation of two different types of Stäubli robots (six-axis and scara) are among the technologies used.
Innovative partnership between Kif Parechoc and AddUp. Kif Parechoc, an expert in watch movement components, has signed a highly innovative partnership agreement with AddUp, a French specialist in industrial metal 3D printing, to use metal additive manufacturing for very high precision watchmaking purposes.
With increasing numbers of electric vehicles, not only very precisely manufactured parts are required, but also the most efficient production possible. One part that is particularly demanding in terms of machining is the motor housing for the electric motor. MAPAL has already established a three-stage solution for machining the stator bore. The precision tool manufacturer now presents a large tool for external machining.
Nexter inaugurated its new high-speed machining cell in Roanne (France), in the presence of Sylvain Rousseau, Director of Operations, and around one hundred people, including representatives from Fives Machining, the President of the High Precision Machines Division, Raphaël Constantin, and the Deputy General Director of Fives Group, Denis Mercier.
Metal processing with lasers and plasma releases many different pollutants into the ambient air. The Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS, together with partners, has developed a filter system that efficiently removes these substances from the air. The filter can be adapted to the various materials and substances released in each case. In the future, the technology will be used in other applications, such as additive manufacturing.
