World’s leading trade

World’s leading trade fair for grinding technology GrindTec 2022 15 - 18 March | Messe Augsburg | Germany | www.grindtec.de EMO MILANO report More flexibility and productivity through automated manufacturing solutions From electric cars to medical implants: catchup effects after the pandemic have left many companies facing the challenge of quickly ramping up their production capacities. Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH (SW) presented solutions designed for high productive manufacturing solutions, for rapid scaling of quantities with low space and energy requirements at EMO 2021. Many standard medical procedures were postponed during the pandemic and they must now be made up. This has given rise to an enormous need for implants made of titanium alloys and other alloys. Manufacturers can quickly increase their quantities with the BA W02-22i two-spindle machining center with linear and torque motors and inte - grated automation. On just four m 2 of installation area they can manufacture complex workpieces with maximum pre - cision. The direct drives in the feed axes ensure position ing accuracy even at the highest possible machining speeds with a guaranteed deviation of less than 0.006 mm. Fully automated independent manufacturing cell The loading module with integrated 6-axis robot and pallet storage is mounted on the machine when delivered. “With the independent cell, manufacturers can shorten startup times and increase their quantities by a factor of two immediately,” underscores Andreas Kienzle, key account manager for Medical Technology. Together with the Mobile- Rob (MR), SW also offers an Autonomated Guided Vehicle (AGV) that changes the pallet storage cassettes without manual intervention. It fills up storage with new raw parts and moves the machined, finished workpieces automatically to the station in manufacturing designated for them. new components for e-mobility Demand for electric and hybrid cars in the automotive industry has risen dramatically. Suppliers have to boost their capacities for manufacturing new components. With independent manufacturing cells based on the BA W06-22 with integrated automation, SW demonstrated a high productive solution at EMO 2021. It allows users to machine workpieces made of non-magnetic materials such as aluminum or titanium alloys in a working area of 600 x 630 x 510 mm for single-spindle and two-spindle machining. SW offers manufacturers a feed rate of up to 120 m/min and therefore the shortest possible cycle times. The SW TopRob loads and unloads the BA W06-22 from above. The loading unit is modularly expandable. The AGV MobileRob automatically fills up the storage tower with raw parts without the use of personnel and moves the machined, finished parts to freely definable locations in the plant. An important advantage for users is the significant better energy efficiency of multi-spindle machines in comparison to single-spindle machines. Metal cutting of large structural parts such as battery cases represents a special challenge for suppliers. Until now, manufacturers have produced these components made of non-magnetic materials on existing machines, which are not optimally suited for this purpose. With the new BA W08 series single-station machine, SW now offers an expanded range for machining large workpieces for 4- and 5-axis machining. Direct drives in all axes shorten cycle times and boost productivity. Structurally, a monoblock and box-in-box design ensure maximum precision. SW offers custom-made and modularly expandable automation solutions for quickly increasing capacity for this series as well. further information: www.sw-machines.de 16 no. 4, November 2021

World’s leading trade fair for grinding technology GrindTec 2022 15 - 18 March | Messe Augsburg | Germany | www.grindtec.de EMO MILANO report looking back at 100 years of experience and ahead to the future The basis for excellent products and services A century of experience is not only a reason for the Luxembourg-based CERATIZIT Group to reflect on the past. It is also an opportunity for the cutting tools and hard materials specialist to use its 100 years of in-depth experience as the basis to talk at EMO in Milan about new solutions and services for cutting tools today and in the future. The CERATIZIT Group has given the go-ahead for a look back at 100 years of company history and experience at this year’s EMO in Milan. When Dr. Paul Schwarzkopf founded Metallwerk Plansee GmbH June 24, 1921, he not only paved the way for the industrial manufacture of tungsten and molybdenum products – and thus for many product developments of modern life – he also laid the foundations for the CERATIZIT Group resulting from the 2002 merger of Plansee Tizit and Luxembourg-based CERAMETAL. Tooling the past, present & future “We are proud of our 100 years of expertise, adding up in the end to a fruitful combination of pioneering, thinking and innovative creativity,” explains Thierry Wolter, member of the executive board. This experience forms the basis for the development of technologically ground-breaking and intelligent products, which ensure that CERATIZIT’s customers can always face the challenges of the future with confidence. Process optimisation as a basis for sustainable production Efficiency and productivity are the cornerstones that connect economy and ecology. They are thus decisive for the promotion of sustainability in industrial production. Therefore, the CERATIZIT Group actively supports its customers when it comes to the optimisation of cutting processes, as states Andreas Kordwig, director of product management for the cutting tools division of the company: “Today already our solutions are helping customers to save energy and raw materials in production and consequently reduce the ecological footprint of their products.” Since the beginning of the year, CERATIZIT has been offering a service for process optimisation under the motto “We optimise your process – challenge us!” This service has also been available for customers in Italy since September. new possibilities of support thanks to digital solutions Comprehensive service is a result of CERATIZIT’s company approach. But how does this work when on-site support is limited because of restricted access due to the pande mic, or when the customer needs help in next to no time? This is where the new “LiveTechpro” app comes in. The app allows the customer to contact the competent application engineer directly when support is needed. And it enables the engineer to provide support as if they were on site: using videos from the smartphone or tablet, details can be marked and discussed, and problems can be solved very quickly. It is even possible to connect with virtual reality (VR) systems. The possibilities for support even go further if the customer uses the monitoring and control system ToolScope from CERATIZIT. With the new software edition 12, customers can allow the application engineer to access Tool- Scope remotely to adapt the parameters. “Thanks to innovative digital solutions, we do not have to be physically present at the customer’s production site to see what is going on. We can see what is happening in the machine, analyse the problem and optimise the machine settings remotely,” says Andreas Kordwig. in 2022 programming of FreeTurn will become even easier Over the past months, the ecosystem around High Dynamic Turning with FreeTurn is almost complete thanks to the broad support of the industry in terms of machines, control and software. With a new, easier programming tool that generates machining trajectories for dynamic roughing and finishing, which will be published in 2022, FreeTurn will work in every mill-turn center – independently of the CAM software used. further information: www.ceratizit.com no. 4, November 2021 17
