EXHIBITION PREVIEW EMO 2019 HANOVER, GERMANY, 16-21 SEPTEMBER – WWW.EMO-HANNOVER.DES
Exhibitor Industry 4.0 news in brief
Next month’s show issue will carry full exhibitor news available to
us, but here we focus on the Industry 4.0 element of several
companies’ exhibition presence
Castrol SmartControl is an automated, real-time condition
monitoring solution. It is designed to improve metalworking fluid
(MWF) management, minimise errors and maintain fluids
and their performance by integrating Castrol’s XBB
MWFs with Industry 4.0 technology. SmartControl
measures concentration, pH level, conductivity,
temperature and volume flow. Hall 6 H51
Chiron (Engineering Technology Group) is
extending its SmartLine programme with
ConditionLine and ProtectLine. ConditionLine
allows precise planning of maintenance work and
repairs, detecting abnormal operating behaviour and wear in a
timely manner. ProtectLine has a preventative function in
protecting physical machining centers from collisions by employing
a digital twin. The virtual machining centre always runs ahead of
the real one and shuts it down in good time, if there are any
collision risks. Hall 12, C06
DMG Mori will present: integrated digitisation comprising
intelligent services and applications with integral connectivity for
networked production (all new machines will, in their standard
versions and at no extra cost, have an IIoT interface compliant with
MQTT, MTconnect and umati); over 30 digital innovations, including
new CELOS APPs, extensive DMG Mori monitoring, efficient
production planning and control, as well as web-based
maintenance optimisation; ‘my DMG MORI’, a customer portal for
more transparency, quality and speed in all service processes;
additive manufacturing, an open process chain from simulation and
build, through to service and consulting. Hall 2
Gefertec’s 3DMP (3D Metal Print – MT Squared) arc-weldingbased
additive manufacturing process is now available in a new
version: the arc405. Also, a new process head, ARC QM Head,
with integrated melt bath control for quality monitoring will be
presented. Hall 9, Stand K03
In the Industry 4.0 area, Heidenhain will join OPS-Ingersoll and
Haimer in showing intelligent data management in an automated
manufacturing environment. This will include predictive job
planning, with the Heidenhain TNC 640 featuring Batch Process
Manager and StateMonitor software. Hall 9, Stand I32/F32
Mazak’s stand will feature demonstrations of Industry 4.0
solutions, including Mazak iSMART factory and its Smooth CNC
Technology. Hall 27, Stand B52
MachineMetrics (Seco Tools) will unveil a new application,
MachineMetrics Service. The company claims that it is the
industry’s first AI-driven remote machine monitoring solution.
It offers a predictive analytics application on the MachineMetrics
Industrial IoT platform that allows service teams to remotely
monitor and manage machine assets in the field and at customer
sites, in real-time. Benefits are: faster service when customers
have problems; on-site service visits cut by 10-20%; optimisation
of preventative maintenance plans; validation of warranty
claims; and identification of new service opportunities
through predictive maintenance pre- and
post-warranty period. Hall 9, Stand G15
Okuma (NCMT) will highlight 3D Virtual
Monitor, which allows manufacturers to
simulate and test an entire machining
process in advance, and Connect Plan,
which offers real-time data capture, even
from third-party units. Okuma will connect all
its machine tools at EMO via Connect Plan. Hall 27, Stand D6
On a dedicated AM stand (I23) in Hall 9, Renishaw will
demonstrate its range of products for high quality, productive metal
additive manufacturing technologies, including its latest system;
the four-laser RenAM 500Q.
Sandvik Coromant’s presence will have a strong Industry 4.0
focus, with new digital solutions for machining processes and
efficient connected manufacturing. A new solution enables sensorequipped
tools, such as the Silent Tools Plus solution, to send
data directly to machines, allowing monitoring and control in real
time. Hall 5, Stand B06
Siemens will unveil its Sinumerik ONE CNC, which has powerful
hardware and software to create a digital twin. For machine tool
builders it accelerates machine development and introduction,
while maintaining quality. Users benefit from faster commissioning
times, plus they can also set up more quickly, run parts in the
virtual environment and improve performance during production.
Training can also be carried out separately from the real machine.
A new Edge app, ‘AnalyzeMyWorkpiece /Monitor’, continuously
monitors production, capturing a wide range of measured values
that are compared continuously to a reference model, optimising
quality during production. Hall 9, Stand H50; Hall 25, Stand A01
Soraluce (TW Ward CNC Machinery) will showcase: DAS+ (chatter
elimination during machining); intelligent damping solutions that
maximise chip removal capacity during machining; VSET, a
simplified clamping system able to provide time savings for
alignment of up to 70%; and Smart HMI, an intuitive, ergonomic
and easy-to-use intelligent interface. Hall 13, Stand B38
TDM Systems GmbH will present its TDM WebCatalog for the first
time. This cloud application will be available to customers with
TDM Global Line 2019 and TDM 2019 as of August. Current tool
data from leading firms such as ARNO, Hoffman Tools, Sandvik
Coromant and Walter are included. Hall 9, Stand F24.
