18.10.2007 Turning centres have longer machine beds To satisfy a growing demand to provide CNC turning centres with longer beds, two long bed versions of existing machines were introduced at EMO 2007 Haas Automation said that many turning shops are seeing a trend toward longer parts that require secondary machining operations. The ability to machine these parts on a single CNC lathe in one setup reduces the cost per part and eliminates secondary operations. To satisfy such demands, Haas has introduced long bed versions of its existing SL 20 and SL 30 CNC turning centres.

18.10.2007 Vertical machining centre speeds machining by two. A Brother 4-axis, twin-pallet, vertical machining centre supplied by Whitehouse Machine Tools is helping Hydraulic Projects machine control valve and marine steering system components Control valve and marine steering system components are being machined at least twice as quickly in fewer operations at Hydraulic Projects (Hy-Pro), Dawlish, on a Brother 4-axis, twin-pallet, vertical machining centre (VMC) supplied by Whitehouse Machine Tools. Installed in July 2007, the machine matches the output of two older 3-axis VMCs which have been sold.

18.10.2007 Mill-turn centre machines small parts To machine small, complex components in as few operations as possible, a multi-tasking mill-turn centre has advanced work-handling system Introduced at the recent EMO 2007, Yamazaki Mazak showed Manufacturingtalk its Integrex i-150, which has been designed to machine small, complex components in as few operations as possible. The Integrex i-150 is designed to eliminate the problems normally found on this class of machine - such as short axis strokes and a restricted machining area.

18.10.2007 Affordable wire-EDM has flexibility An affordable wire-EDM machine delivers reliable spark performance, flexibility, simplicity in programming, ease of work preparation and an aesthetic design, all at an attractive price At EMO 2007 exhibition, GF AgieCharmilles' CUT 20 range of wire-cutting EDM machines was designed to help customers 'Achieve more', said the company. The CUT 20 range puts machine speed and affordability at the forefront, providing a standard level of accuracy and surface finish where production costs often are more critical than extreme accuracy,, said AgieCharmilles in a repoirt to Manufacturingtalk The CUT 20 range represents a convergence of EDM know-how by GF AgieCharmilles Research and Development and the company's Swiss values to meet the market's demand for affordable wire-cutting EDM solutions for a wide variety of applications, from the production of mechanical components and electrodes to a large pallet of stamping dies.

18.10.2007 Linear drive EDM machines 10t dies A die-sinking EDM, equipped with linear motor powered axes drives, is designed for producing large dies up to 10 tonnes Sodick introduced a die-sinking EDM at EMO for machining large dies. The AQ15L has linear motor driven axes in X, Y and Z for high-speed, high-precision machining dies of up to 10,000kg. linear motors provide high-acceleration for high-precision transfer machining without dielectric fluid flushing.

27.09.2007 GILDEMEISTER with high order intake at the EMO Metal working trade fair meets the expectations Bielefeld. With an order intake of EUR 162.6 million and a total of 526 machines sold, GILDEMEISTER takes positive stock of the EMO 2007 in Hanover that ended Saturday evening. At this most important trade fair worldwide for metal working GILDEMEISTER has achieved the highest trade fair order intake in the history of the company. Equally important are the 9,108 follow-up offers triggered at the EMO for business transactions after the fair and for the financial year 2008. GILDEMEISTER as the largest exhibitor with 4,000 square metres presented 70 exhibits, 14 of which were world premieres. The technical innovations and especially the new machine design attracted high attention with the international trade visitors.

27.09.2007 Die-sinking EDMs offer high speed/acceleration Integrated into the mechanical architecture of die-sinking EDMs are capacities for very high speed and accelerations with optimization algorithms for each type of cavity to be machined Shown at EMO 2007, the GF AgieCharmilles' Form 2000/3000 product range was claimed by the company to take die-sinking to 'new heights of precision and performance'. Developed on a foundation of more than 100 years of EDM expertise, the FORM 2000/3000 range is specially engineered to the needs of discerning producers of pieces, said Agie Charmilles to Manufacturingtalk.

27.09.2007 Ultrasonics aids hard machining in a VMC Using ultrasonics frequencies up to 48kHz to vibrate a cutting tool in a VMC enables hard machining and high speed machining as well as machining conventionally in the same machine DMG is using ultrasonics to provide high frequency tool oscillation at a frequency of up to 48,000/s to enable hard machining, as well as high speed and conventional milling processes in the same spindle of a vertical machining centre. When this capability is integrated with the added flexibility of 5-axis, five-face component machining and the higher productivity achieved by using linear axis drive technology, said DMG to manufacturingtalk, the latest DMG HSC Linear vertical machining centre offers a self-contained system for optimising production process in difficult materials.

27.09.2007 VMC offers thermal stability for precision A high-performance vertical machining centre provides the accuracy, rigidity and thermal stability required for high-precision work, using massive cast-iron construction Following the success of its VM-2 and VM-3 models, Haas Automation has further expanded its line of vertical machining centres (VMC) for the mold making and tool and die industries. In a report sent to Manufacturingtalk, Haas said that the large-frame VM-6 is a high-performance VMC that provides the accuracy, rigidity and thermal stability required for high-precision work.

27.09.2007 Dual spindle CNC lathes offer high production Latest high production CNC lathes include a dual-spindle, dual-turret lathe with swing type robot automated part handling and a five-face machining cell Three recent additions to the Fuji range of high production CNC lathes were demonstrated at EMO 2007 by one of the largest suppliers of automated lathes to the automotive industry. The machines are as follows. * A Fuji ANW 35 dual-spindle, dual-turret lathe with swing type robot automated part handling.
