SUPPLY SIDE DMG MORI ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE
Partnering up
The DMG Mori Quali ed Products
(DMQP) programme draws on over
2,700 peripherals and accessories to
complement its manufacturing
technology.
New partners take in
AR Filtrazioni – an expert in ef cient
air cleaning that provides sustainable
ltration of up to 99.995% of particles
with a volume of > 0.1 micron and
whose systems require maintenance
once a year for machines that produce
around the clock, seven days a week;
Schlenker Spanntechnik, a supplier of
innovative bar clamping tools; and
FCS System, which supplies modular
and standardised clamping systems,
with a strength in mould tool
applications and offering zero-point
workholding systems.
and machines via a ‘drag & drop’ approach.
The results can be displayed on a separate
screen at the workstation or directly (via
Application Connector from CELOS) on a
machine’s control screen.
Complementing the ‘my DMG Mori’
customer portal introduced at last year’s
EMO show, service-side processes/requests
are digital, offering a track-and-trace
function, users can upgrade from this to
WERKBLiQ, an integrated maintenance and
servicing platform, and so connect thirdparty
products and make use of further
premium functions. This means that users
can bene t from an internal ticket system,
a freely con gurable machine diary and a
maintenance calendar with a reminder
function, including interactive task lists.
All master data, such as machines, users or
service reports, are transferred over to
WERKBLiQ automatically.

PH Cell – Flexible automation solution for up to 40 pallets. Modular design.
Different sizes of pallets – 500 by 500 mm, 400 by 400 mm, 320 by 320 mm. Up to
300 kg transfer weight. A footprint of only 10.7 m². Option of subsequent integration
with existing automation interface
and digital, is not made wholly clear by
these latest development snapshots here,
for sure. Machinery detailed much of it
following last year’s EMO show (See:
https://is.gd/parabu). Sadly, with MACH
2020 now postponed till January 2020, the
opportunity for a UK audience to discuss all
this has been delayed. A nal statement
from Thoenes drives home the point about
its whole, integrated hardware and software
offer. “We are both a leading provider for our
customers and a key leading user of our
own digital solutions for integrated
manufacturing in all business areas. This is
our strength and we are going from strength
to strength. We test everything inside and
out in our own production plants and thus
ensure the high quality and scalability of our
solutions – from the market launch of a
CELOS app to the implementation of the
digital factory. A structure like this is unique
within the machine tool industry. It can’t be
copied, let alone imitated.” (More, p18)
