How can demanding automotive components be manufactured even more efficiently, and what role does the digitalization of production play? The EMAG Group will be answering these questions, and more September 18 – 22 at this year’s AMB exhibition in Stuttgart. View inside the machining area: The two pick-up working spindles double the output quantities. The…
Selecting the right type of pneumatic cylinder helps machine designers meet space and function requirements. Pneumatic cylinders are used to generate force and power linear motion on OEM equipment of all types. They can move product directly or move the components inside a machine that act on the product. They do this by pushing or…
Cutting tools with vibration control technology can substantially increase machining productivity on almost any machine tool or workpiece. Uncontrolled vibration creates multiple problems in metalcutting operations. Varying forces in the cutting process cause vibration and tool chatter that degrade part surface quality, quickly wear or break cutting tools and damage machine tool components. Passive/dynamic vibration…
