Alexander Morhard, Technical Sales Support Manager at EMAG SU, talks in an interview about the G 160 gear generating grinding machine, the fastest machine of its kind for gear production. He provides insights into the innovative axis concept, the high gear quality and the wide range of possible applications in gear manufacturing and electromobility.
With the new VST 50 machine, EMAG is for the first time tackling a task that is as special as it is demanding: the machining of ball pins and ball sleeves. In the steering or suspension of cars, for example, these components are indispensable. What are the details of the VST 50 and how can extreme chip-to-chip times of less than two seconds be achieved in this field? Read more about this challenge in our conversation with Dr. Mathias Klein, CSO of the EMAG Group.
In the world of high precision drives, Zoerkler is a name synonymous with innovation, quality and technical excellence. In its almost 120-year history, the company has developed from a modest mechanical engineers’ workshop into a leading supplier of drive systems for the automotive and aviation industries. In this interview, Managing Director Bernhard Wagner provides insights into the fascinating world of precision manufacturing, innovative production technologies and the future visions of Zoerkler Gears GmbH & Co KG.
In the world of machine tools, the optimal design of processes is crucial to achieving the highest precision and efficiency. In today’s blog article, we spoke to Jörg Lohmann, Head of Technology and Product Management and Member of the Management Board at EMAG KOEPFER, to find out more about how hobbing processes are designed, using planetary gears as an example. Jörg Lohmann brings almost 20 years of experience in the design and application of gear hobbing machines and gear cutting processes and gives us a deeper insight into the decision-making behind these processes.
In our latest interview, we take an in-depth look at the W 11 CNC cylindrical grinding machine from EMAG Weiss, a state-of-the-art solution designed specifically to meet the demanding requirements of today’s manufacturing industry. Known for its exceptional flexibility and precision, the machine maximizes the efficiency and accuracy of machining processes. With functions ranging from quick and easy retooling to intuitive dialog programming, the W 11 CNC sets new standards in the world of cylindrical grinding. Andreas Hessling, Technical Sales Manager at EMAG, gives an insight into the technical advantages and range of applications of the machine.
Precise, compact and cost-effective – these are the criteria that have made the WPG 7 external cylindrical grinding machine from EMAG WEISS a great success on the market. It requires minimal floor space and can also be installed quickly, but at the same time features a whole range of high-tech components for flexibility and productivity. What characterizes the machine in detail? Our grinding expert Andreas Holstein provides the answers in this interview.
The gear skiving process, also known as power skiving, is becoming increasingly popular with many users in the manufacture of gear components. This is no coincidence: compared to the shaping process, it is significantly faster and also offers more flexibility than hobbing and broaching. However, for a long time it was considered relatively complex. In this context, the VSC 400 PS represents a turning point – the application of power skiving is significantly simplified, as only minimal data is required from the operator, eliminating the need for extensive expertise in gear cutting. To take a closer look at the technology behind the VSC 400 PS and its impact on the industry, we interviewed Daniel Nille, Head of Technology Development for EMAG Power Skiving.
For the past several years, EMAG has offered a turning machine for high-productivity turned parts production, the VL 3 DUO. We spoke to Björn Svatek, Director Global Sales, about the advantages and special features of this machine concept.
The EMAG ELC 6 laser welding machine plays a key role in the production of drive components for electric motors. In our interview with Konrad Eibl, you will gain a deeper insight into how the ELC 6 works, the technical aspects and the wide range of possible applications. You will learn how this innovative machine contributes to increasing efficiency in production and what role it will play in the future of manufacturing technology. Particular attention will be paid to the production of rotor shafts, a critical element in the rapidly growing electromobility industry, where precision and process reliability are highly important.
Find out more about the design and development of the VLC 350 GT turning/grinding center in our interview with Manfred Winkler, Head of Technical Sales, Business Unit Grinding. The VLC GT series from EMAG is one of the most successful new developments in recent years. The combination of proven pick-up automation, vertical machining and the ability to use various hard machining technologies in the spacious work area has made some great manufacturing solutions possible. We spoke to Manfred Winkler about the machine and the ideas behind the new development.
