EMAG Pick-Up Lathe vs. Sub-Spindle Lathe

by abakun 18. August 2017

The EMAG Inverted Spindle Pick-Up Lathe process provides for a significant improvement in accuracy versus that of a sub-spindle lathe.

Lathes with sub-spindles pass a part from one rigid work holding system to another. This does not allow for any misalignment of the two spindles. The first spindle cannot release a part until the second spindle has a secure grip on it. Allowing for mismatches on a split turned dimension such as a bore. The accuracy and quality of the workpieces that are produced from this system are compromised because of this process.

Machining brake discs efficiently – with EMAG

VL and VSC machines: Efficient Machining of brake discs

by abakun 19. April 2017

Increasing cost pressure, high demands on part quality and frequent change of batches – the manufacturing of car brake discs is a difficult field. Particularly in the spare parts market, where users must request individual machining solutions that can be retooled for new workpieces without long downtimes.

VLC 200 GT: Machining of Automotive Gears

by Markus Isgro 27. February 2017

The VLC 200 GT is loaded at by the integrated pick-up spindle. The process starts with hard pre-turning of the shoulder and the bore hole in quick succession. Only a few micrometers of material are then left to be removed from the automotive gear by the subsequent grinding process, using either aluminum oxide or CBN grinding wheels.

VLC 200 GT: High-precision, efficient hard machining of passenger-car gearwheels

by Markus Isgro 20. February 2017

Transmission manufacturing is among the most innovative areas of passenger vehicle production: This central component has to ensure a high level of driving dynamics, while keeping fuel consumption low at the same time. Transmissions are therefore becoming smaller and lighter, and provide a higher number of speeds. The individual gearwheels are a main focus of the developers. Their production in extremely high volumes requires a high level of efficiency—at high precision, high speed, and highly controlled.

EMAG at AMB: Vertical Turning Machine VT 2

by Markus Isgro 1. December 2016

Maximum Efficiency in Shaft Production. Short cycle times, high precision and safe processing are among the outstanding attributes of shaft machining on the turning machines of the VT series. These lathes literally turn the classical horizontal machining process on its head.
