TN Vaerktoejsslibning, Denmark’s second-largest precision tooling company, is deploying Numroto, the programming system for tool grinding from NUM across its entire production floor. The company cites highly successful long-term experience of the software, together with excellent technical support from NUM, as the key reasons for choosing to standardize on Numroto.

At the CIMT 2023, which takes place from April 10^th–15^th, WFL will present its technology and software solutions, such as WFL iControl, scanning technologies, or the new operational data acquisition system myWFL. But that is not the end of the story. The actual highlight of the show is the presentation of the M30 Millturn and a machining demonstration of a roots rotor.

Market changes and mutual dependencies between value creation stages require both new technical and economical solutions. How can companies face these challenges with greater resilience? How can we exploit the benefits of increased cost-effectiveness? These questions are being posed by the transnational "EuProGigant" project. The aim is to ensure smart, sovereign use of data for production and bring this to Europe.

Ceratizit presented an ambitious sustainability strategy during AMB—The International Exhibition for Metalworking 2022 in Stuttgart, Germany. During the same event, Ceratizit also won the MM Award for its SilverLine milling cutter made from the company’s CT-GS20Y “GreenCarbide.”

Why is the industry considering changing from well-established gear manufacturing processes to something that is much more complex at first glance? Gear manufacturing has been its own “world” in metal cutting, dominated by companies with very specific expertise around gear technology. Production output has been high, but flexibility is limited. The technicians running these machines are highly skilled, but recruiting new staff with these skill sets has become more and more difficult.

For maximum productivity and machining application versatility, CERATIZIT offers a wide range of tooling systems within its expansive Indexable Milling line of products that includes the company’s new MaxiMill 491. With eight usable cutting edges per newly expanded 9-mm insert size, a precise 90°profile and a durable nickel-coated tool body, the MaxiMill 491 system is extremely well suited for all shoulder and full-slot milling applications.

A recently developed dual-purpose CNC rotor milling machine from PTG Holroyd aims to increase the manufacturing capabilities of a leading German maker of compressed air, gas and vacuum technologies. In doing so, it will equip the German manufacturer with exceptional levels of speed, flexibility and efficiency.
