Technology splash
Last month (p15) we focused on the growing Industry 4.0 element of the biennial EMO exhibition, but
here we return to the established heart of the show, the manufacturing hardware on display (alpha order
by exhibiting company; UK agent – where applicable – plus weblink in brackets)
#Industry_4.0 #grinding ANCA (https://
is.gd/okiwoq) Hall 6 Stand J35 New
ToolRoom RN34 is a specially designed
software package for the aerospace, die
and mould, general machining and power
generation industries. Of cially launched at
EMO, improved productivity or minimised
chatter are achieved through the intuitive
design of high performance, complex endmills.
ToolRoom RN34 is aimed at
providing differentiation for end-mill
manufactures by supporting the design of
complex geometries that will deliver
increased tool life, productivity, cutting
volume and increased quality and precision
at the workpiece ANCA Finance sees its
launch in Europe, offering exible, easy
and competitive nancing. The new service
will also offer leasing and rental options
CPX Linear blank preparation machine.
To be launched in Europe, this 4-axis
grinder is capable of achieving a surface
nish of better than 0.2 micron Ra, with
run-out of less than 2 microns. It uses the
pinch-peel method of grinding.
A showcase of technology will help
toolmakers understand how they can build
their Factory of the Future – reduce wasted
materials and time through 3D simulation;
increase grinding ef ciencies through
informed, data-led decisions; reap the
bene ts of lights-out manufacturing with
affordable, easy-to-use robots; achieve
100% tool accuracy through automated inprocess
measurement Other machines
on show will include: FX5 Linear with
AR300 loader, iView, auto pop-up steady,
RoboTeach and LaserPlus; MX7 Linear with
RoboMate loader featuring integrated laser
etching system for tool ID marking – a new
capability being shown for the rst time at
EMO – Premierplus collet adaptor, auto
pop-up steady, AutoStick, LaserPlus and
Ceratizit will
have news
about the fi rst
standard tooling
range for its
innovative High
Dynamic Turning
process
auto wheel quali cation; TapXmIcro with
compensating chuck, tool steady for
supporting the grinding of small gun-point
taps, pitch diameter digitising system,
RoboMate loader and secondary dresser.
#surface_fi nishing Autopulit (Ellesco,
https://is.gd/tixoka) Hall 11 Stand G11
CRHU-150 robotic cell speci cally
developed for the automation of weld
dressing of shaped sheet metal. The
system overcomes geometric variations
found in this type of component,
guaranteeing consist surface nish. Prior to
weld dressing, each component is subject
to automated measurement to con rm
exact dimensions and shape. The
workholding system can automatically
recognise which component is being
‘picked’, allowing a variety of different parts
to be processed randomly.
#inspection Bruker Alicona (https://
is.gd/ugivem) Hall 6 Stand E39
Supported by a 6-axis collaborative robot,
an optical coordinate measuring machine
will automatically load, measure and sort
OK/not-OK parts. Together with German
stamping supplier Stepper, the automated
measurement of stamped inserts will be
presented. The measurement veri es
position, shape and roughness with a
single optical sensor. Stepper produces up
to 2,550 contacts per minute.

(https://is.gd/tovaso) Hall 5, Stand B70
(main) & Hall 4 Stand D68 The recently
created Team Cutting Tools brings together
four brands – Ceratizit (indexable insert
tools), Komet (hole production), WNT (solid
carbide and HSS rotating tools, tool/
workholding) and Klenk (aerospace
