AUTOMATION SOLUTION ENABLES INTEGRATION OF MILLING AND EDM
Automation found its way to the level of machine tools long ago. The range of options stretches from the simple tool changer to linking machine tools to complex assembly lines. At the same time, a clear trend towards the integration of various production processes can be seen.
AUTOMATION FOR EFFICIENCY AND SUCCESS
Automation@GF AgieCharmilles. Every environment requires detailed and appropriate examination. Every investment in the future must take into account demands of the market and company objectives and, at the same time, be realistic. Automation@GF AgieCharmilles describes an integrated portfolio of products and services with the aim of making our customers more efficient
and more successful.
EVERY DENTAL IMPLANT IS UNIQUELY MACHINED
Lund in Sweden is the head office of the recently founded Produktionsteknik i Lund AB company, which has specialized in the production of dental implant bridges using GF AgieCharmilles high-speed milling machines. New developments in the dental industry make the use of five-axis machining essential.
AN INTELLIGENT COMBINATION OF EDM AND HSC
Weidmüller is the leading provider of solutions for current linkage, transmission and conditioning of power, signals and data in the industrial environment. Its tool shop in Detmold is exclusively responsible for preparing the tools for the production of these components. Weidmüller advocates the combination of high-speed milling, die sinking and wire EDM as precision production methods.
NEW MIKRON HPM – WHEN PERFORMANCE COUNTS
MIKRON HPM 600 HD. Whether for prototype construction, mold making or fully automated small series production, or for output intensive HPC (High Performance Cutting) milling roughing operations or for dynamic surface finishing, the MIKRON HPM 600 HD takes care of almost every requirement.
WIRE EDM: THE GROWING SOLUTION FOR GENERAL ENGINEERING
EDM technology offers to the general engineering sector a large range of advantages, in comparison with other conventional production processes, particularly milling or grinding.
MIRROR FINISH SURFACES WITH HSC MILLING
To produce the spout of an espresso machine, the Schaub company built the injection mold in only 6 weeks from acceptance of the order to the specification test. To do this the Swiss tool making company used GF AgieCharmilles high-speed and high-performance milling machines as well as EDM machines.
DIE SINKING EDM TECHNOLOGY PUSHES FORWARD INJECTION MOLD TECHNOLOGY
Injection molding of thin walls, ribs and bridges on sophisticated synthetic parts, which is called «thin wall technology», requires high technology mold making. The AC Hyperspark HS die sinking EDM machine provides the opportunity to produce correspondingly efficient injection molds, which reduce plastic consumption and synchronize with the assembly cycle.
ECONOMICALLY LOW-TECH PRODUCTION WITH HIGH-TECHNOLOGY
With four GF AgieCharmilles milling centers, the FräsTech company sets store by the most modern production technologies in the HPM (High Performance Milling) and HSM (High Speed Milling) field. «Milling innovation» is also the motto of the company based at the foot of the Jura mountains in Switzerland, which meets the continuously growing requirements of its customers with unconventional solutions and high precision production results.
ORIENTATION MADE EASY WITH CLEAR PRODUCT LABELLING AND INDIVIDUAL ONLINE HELP
Homologated wires by GF AgieCharmilles guarantee constant production quality and optimised production costs. Having consumables perfectly adapted to the machinery naturally means more reliable installations. To ensure that the right wire for every application can be found quickly and easily, GF AgieCharmilles has introduced a new labelling system. Service and easy orientation are clearly also a priority for the Privilege Club’s new Internet presence.
