As one of the leading MRO providers, MTU Maintenance Hannover masters the continuous growth in orders with consistent modernisation in machining. A DMC 210 FD from DMG Mori has improved the firm’s efficiency by around 60 %.

By using tools from Horn, the mechanics department of Team Raceyard at Kiel Technical University could solve even tricky machining tasks. As participants in Formula Student, they have built a high performance electric racing car.

Ever-smaller batch sizes, combined with shorter product cycles and increasing component complexity, today necessitate continuous tightening-up of the production process. For this reason, numerous firms have now decided on complete processing in one clamping.

It was in the Japanese city of Nagoya that Eichii Okuma founded his company in 1898. Unlike their modern counterparts, the early Okuma machines were not built to meet the requirements of the aviation or automotive industries. Instead, the first Okuma products were machines for making udon noodles.

Setting up tools Alupress produces aluminium workpieces in large volumes with µm precision. For this, high-precision tools are needed. When these tools have to be set up, the specialist for complex processing of cast components relies on Mapal.

French industrial firms include numerous high-tech groups of world rank, such as Airbus, Alstom or Renault. These in turn require suppliers of high-quality mechanical parts and components. At the end of 2017, one of these suppliers chose a turning / milling centre from Index.

To go bigger and stronger into the next round is apparently an unwritten law of the AMB. The AMB 2018 is set to outperform its predecessor in terms of floor space, visitor and exhibitor numbers. Topics such as digitisation are also reaching new dimensions.

With mobile, collaborating robot applications from Universal Robots, Müller Maschinentechnik presents flexible automation solutions for metal processing.
