capacity during machining, signi cantly
improving machine uptime and ensuring
continuous production VSET offers
simpli ed clamping and provides time
savings for alignment of up to 70%
Soraluce’s Smart HMI, an intuitive,
ergonomic and easy to use intelligent
interface, will feature, too Supporting
precision machining are: Ram Balance, a
system that improves ram geometrical
accuracy, straightness and parallelism
when vertical and cross axes are moved;
DHC, Dynamic Head Calibration, a selfcalibration
system that improves the
accuracy of the compensation parameters
associated with the head; Accura Heads,
an extension of the DHC package that
allows compensation for one particular
position of the head that ensures maximum
accuracy of the machine, as the
measurement cycle is executed just before
the milling process.

Starrag NB 151 machining centre,
designed speci cally for machining aircraft
impellers and blisks up to 600 mm in
diameter. It features a number of worldclass
developments for the effective and
ef cient machining of blisks. In particular,
an innovative rotary (A and B) axes spindle
allows the tool/cutting angle to be
positioned relatively closer to the
workpiece, resulting in not only a more
stable machining process but also an
effective route to minimal cycle times
Heckert T45 5-axis horizontal machining
centre, offering X, Y and Z axes travels of
700 by 750 by 750 mm, respectively, and
rapid traverse rates of 80 m/min. One of a
range of Heckert T Series 5-axis horizontal
machining centres, with a 900 rpm trunnion
table, the machine is ideal for the complete
production – including turning routines – of
complex workpieces in a single clamping
position A Bumotec s181 5-axis turn-mill
machining centre will be machining a
titanium steel spine surgical hook from
25 mm diameter bar – applying a total of
17 tools (including ve live tools) to
complete the part in under 14 minutes,
compared to almost 20 minutes on a
single-station machine. The machine –
which has a 30,000 rpm HSK 40 spindle
(optionally 40,000 rpm) and 90-tool
magazine – will also feature ESPI’s
Scan ash technology for in-line production
monitoring/transfer of correction values
directly to the machine tool, if necessary,
automatically make instant adjustments to
production parameters Sprint Z3 parallel
kinematic machining head, as employed on
Starrag machine tools, delivers
synchronised motion of its three Z axes
that allow the spindle to follow any path
within a spherical cone of ±40° at a
maximum of 80°/sec. If the three axes
move differentially, the spindle platform is
tilted in A/B Information about other
Starrag brands, Berthiez, Bumotec, Dörries,
Droop+Rein, Ecospeed, Heckert,
Scharmann, SIP, Starrag and TTL, will be
available Appropriate cell and software
control, embracing a host of
functionalities for the integration of
Industry 4.0 strategies can also be a
discussion point.

TDM WebCatalog will
debut. Users can retrieve
current tool data from
companies such as Arno,
Hoffman Tools, Sandvik
Coromant and Walter. Other
solutions are currently being
prepared, says TDM. The
cloud catalogues can be used
Tool data can be imported using TDM
Systems’ WebCatalog
to set up new tool databases within a
company, as well as update and
supplement existing ones. TDM WebCatalog
means that the time-consuming process of
creating a tool database is a thing of the
past; a major hurdle for businesses. TDM
interfaces to around 20 CAM systems.

programming with digital twins – the real
manufacturing world is simulated, taking in
all machines with their geometric and
kinematic properties, as well as clamping
devices and tools Template-based
programming with Tebis Automill technology
– Tebis automatically evaluates CAD part
models, eliminating manual effort. It uses a
stored structure of digital representations
of the manufacturing environment in the
company to calculate the NC programs.
Tebis will be talking automation
within a CADCAM context
