Multifaceted product range

At the Intec 2017, the machine tool sector is represented with a series of technical innovations and optimizations. For instance, HEDELIUS is bringing its new, compact and precise 5-axis machining center line ACURA for die and mold construction to Leipzig. INDEX-Werke are presenting the second generation of the INDEX G200, which features improvements in machine setup with extended turning length and an additional tool holder through to the performance of milling spindle. With the optimized turn/mill center, a simultaneous machining is possible at the same time with up to four tools. Even the newest CNC machining center from Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle, C 250, will attract the attention of trade visitors.

Production automation under aspects of Industry 4.0 is also reflected in the offerings of Intec exhibitors. SCHUNK will present the electrically controlled linear axis SCHUNK ELP of Industry-4.0 quality, which is an ultra-compact linear module characterized by a low maintenance 24V linear direct drive and low start-up costs. CytroPac from Bosch Rexroth proves what modern hydraulic solutions can do with little space. The new compact unit decreases energy consumption by up to 80% thanks to regulating its speed to suit requirements, monitors all operating states and fits in well in Industry 4.0 concepts. Festo will also be present with an entire range of Industry 4.0-capable applications – for instance, its adaptive gripper units, software tools for assembly and handling processes or intuitive control systems.
