Tool manufacturers must remain agile, improve quality and grow capacity
The world of CNC machining thrives on innovation. Grinding machines, cutting tools and software are constantly evolving to be more efficient, flexible, accurate and automated. Deciding what technology to invest in should be driven by business goals, working with existing objectives, processes, data and ideas. As a machine tool builder, designing the best technology requires a multi-pronged approach. They must pursue customer requirements to identify the next challenge to solve — constantly iterating and refining its technology.

Automated punch, die maintenance significantly boost productivity
Many fabricators have numerous high-volume, active punches and dies that must be properly maintained to keep them in peak condition. Regular maintenance improves the tooling’s ability to deliver clean sheared, straight-cut edges and ensures the tooling will hold very tight dimensional part tolerances, which minimizes potential quality issues. By performing this type of maintenance correctly and consistently, fabricators can save a considerable amount of time and money. More...

Hydrostatic grinding spindles for faster and more precise wafer production
Specially designed hydrostatic grinding spindles machine wafers with the highest precision requirements in the micrometer range. Due to their exceptionally high concentricity, damping and stiffness, the wafer grinding spindles developed by Hyprostatik Schönfeld achieve a significantly higher grinding quality than comparable spindles with air bearings. This makes it easier to machine harder brittle materials in particular. More...

PTG Holroyd EX series rotor milling machine for premier air compressor maker
EX machines cut a full-depth groove by traversing the cutting tool through the material at the relevant helix angle, whilst at the same time rotating the component in the ‘C’ axis. Accurate synchronisation between the axes is maintained via CNC, with digital drive technology controlling all axis movements. The cutting head is able to remove so much material in one step because the majority of heat generated is transferred to the swarf chips. More...
