It is said the PFC 8 provides simple automation of milling machines in a smaller footprint, offering improved space efficiency and better ergonomics for operators working on either the hardware or software side.
Practical Use Of IoT In Machine-Shops
Electric shavers and machine tools have one thing in common —- their cutters need replacing once in a while.
No Shortcuts With HAIMER’S Tooling Technology, Only Process-Reliable Machining
Schweiger GmbH & Co. KG from Uffing at Staffelsee in Bavaria specialises in one of the most demanding industries, the automotive industry. For Managing Director Anton Schweiger and his approximately 75 employees, this means having to meet the highest standards of precision and quality with every injection mould produced.
Additionally, they are competing in a global market, which, among other things, is subject to enormous cost pressure. However, facing the strain of global competition, the qualified toolmaker and his team have adjusted and positioned themselves accordingly. They rely on an automated process chain that ensures absolute security and ends with injection moulds that meet all requirements.
In 2016, for example, the company built a new production hall and invested in two DMC 210U and 270U 5-axis DMG Mori machining centres, which are capable of processing even XXL components in one clamping operation. Equipped with an appropriate pallet automation, the machines run around the clock seven days a week, and all with just one-person shifts. On the weekends they run completely unmanned. This requires highest process reliability across all relevant components and functions.
In this respect, Anton Schweiger focuses on tool clamping technology, the often overlooked interface between spindle and tool. It bears great responsibility for the quality of the machining, the service life of the spindle and the tool life. The milling specialists at Schweiger swear by the support and counsel of HAIMER GmbH, Igenhausen. Haimer GmbH, in 40 years, has become the market leader for tool clamping technology in Europe and is considered to be the world leader in tool shrinking and balancing technology.

How polymer knife-edge rollers are making maintenance-free conveyor belts and packaging systems possible, enhancing performance.
Article by igus.
Krones AG produces systems and machines for making, filling, and packaging beverages and liquid food. The industry never sleeps. So it is hardly surprising that Krones systems have to break their own speed records again and again. This becomes a problem when a part cannot withstand the pressure and there is no alternative that can perform better. That is why igus GmbH developed knife-edge rollers made of tribo-polymers for Krones, helping them achieve new records. In 2005, Krones faced a challenge with the Variopac Pro, a fully automatic all-round packaging system: the system’s performance had to be increased by 20 packs per minute. There was therefore an urgent need to change the conveyor belt deflection. Originally, metal rollers with needle roller bearings were used here, but they couldn’t meet the higher performance requirements and were cost-intensive. Looking for an alternative, Krones Design Engineer Jürgen Werner came upon igus GmbH products.

Sandvik Aims To Lead In Premium Solid Round Tools With New Acquisition
Sandvik has signed an agreement to acquire 67 per cent of Chuzhou Yongpu Carbide Tools Co., Ltd, a China based premium solid round tools company, with a call option to buy the remaining part in three years’ time. Chuzhou Yongpu Carbide Tools Co., Ltd is mainly focused on global and local OEMs and connected suppliers operating in China. Its capabilities include the full solid round tools manufacturing value chain with an offer covering blanks, cutting tools, reconditioning and coating services. The company will be reported in Sandvik Coromant, a division within Sandvik Manufacturing and Machining Solutions.
Stefan Widing, President and CEO of Sandvik, says, “The acquisition of Chuzhou Yongpu Carbide Tools Co., Ltd is part of our strategy for our machining solutions business to increase our market share and take a leading position in solid round tools, and at the same time expand further in the Asian market. We are looking forward to welcoming Chuzhou Yongpu Carbide Tools Co., Ltd to the Sandvik Group.”
Chuzhou Yongpu Carbide Tools Co., Ltd will continue to operate under its own brand and focus on developing its offer and market share with the ambition to become a leading premium provider of solid round tools in China. The combined expertise and footprint of Sandvik Coromant and Chuzhou Yongpu Carbide Tools Co., Ltd will drive further geographical expansion in the region, particularly for cutting tools.
“We have long-term strategic commitment to strengthen and develop our business. China is a fast-growing market for solid round tools, and the acquisition of Chuzhou Yongpu Carbide Tools Co., Ltd will further strengthen our presence and enhance our offer to customers in this important region. With its premium position and strong customer focus, Chuzhou Yongpu Carbide Tools Co., Ltd is a great fit for Sandvik Machining Solutions“, says Nadine Crauwels, President of Sandvik Machining Solutions.
Chuzhou Yongpu Carbide Tools Co., Ltd is headquartered in Chuzhou, China, and has around 500 employees. It had revenues of approximately SEK 400 million for the twelve month period Q2 2020 to Q1 2021, an EBIT margin slightly dilutive to Sandvik Manufacturing and Machining Solutions. Impact on earnings per share will initially be neutral.
The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2021.
