Direct robot loading increases the productivity of vertical turning machines

by Oliver Hagenlocher 15. April 2025

Vertical pick-up turning machines are indispensable in modern manufacturing. These machines often produce in three-shift operation and are already highly optimized for specific production requirements. But how can additional increases in performance be achieved with such highly developed manufacturing systems? Jürgen Maier, Head of the Turning Business Unit at EMAG, deals with this question. In the following interview, you will learn how productivity can be further increased by direct loading into the work spindle of a vertical turning machine using a robot.

Retrofit makes aging grinding machines fit for the future

by Oliver Hagenlocher 8. April 2025

Modern production systems are a key factor for the competitiveness of manufacturing companies. For high-quality cylindrical grinding machines, a comprehensive modernization of existing systems can be an economically interesting alternative to purchasing new equipment. CNC-Technik Weiss GmbH, part of the EMAG Group since 2019, specializes in retrofitting Karstens cylindrical grinding machines. The Neckartailfingen–based company has decades of experience in overhauling and modernizing these precision machines. In an interview with Andreas Holstein, Plant Manager at EMAG Weiss, we were able to talk about the technical possibilities and economic aspects of retrofitting.

High-performance ECM rifling for perfect rifle and pistol barrels – PI machines from EMAG

by Oliver Hagenlocher 1. April 2025

Precision plays a decisive role in the manufacture of weapons. One technique that contributes significantly to the precision of firearms is rifling – the insertion of helical flutes  into the barrel of a weapon. The rifling ensures that the bullet rotates when fired and hits its target with precision. Traditionally, rifling used to be produced by mechanical processes such as hammering. Or button broaching. However, with the further development of technology, electrochemical machining (ECM) is establishing itself as a superior alternative that enables much greater precision.

Cylindrical grinding rethought: W 11-EVO combines manual expertise with digital precision

by Oliver Hagenlocher 13. March 2025

“The combination of manual operation and automated functions allows operators to make the most of their experience while benefiting from the precision of the control system,” explains Andreas Hessling, Technical Sales Manager at EMAG Weiss, in an interview. The hydraulic-free W 11-EVO cylindrical grinding machine addresses key customer requirements: minimized energy costs thanks to servo-electric axes, highest precision thanks to scraped V-flat guides and an intuitive touch control for quick machine settings. The sophisticated operating concept shows its strengths particularly in the economical production of prototypes and individual parts. The operator retains direct control over the sanding process thanks to handwheels, while the servo-controlled axes ensure precision positioning and reproducible results.

How does a wind turbine work? Five questions – Five answers

by Oliver Hagenlocher 11. March 2025

Wind turbines are a key pillar for the sustainable energy supply of the future – as a relatively reliable source of base load for the electricity grid because the wind blows constantly on the high seas, for example. But how exactly do wind turbines work, why do so-called azimuth gearboxes play an important role and what characterizes their production? We provide some initial answers here.
