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.

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.

Interview with Jannik Röttger: Grinding coated brake discs with the VLC 450 DG

by Oliver Hagenlocher 24. February 2025

The automotive industry is facing a major challenge: the Euro 7 standard stipulates strict limits for particulate matter emissions. Cars will then only be allowed to emit around three milligrams of particulate matter per kilometer – a drastic reduction compared to today’s values of up to 40 milligrams. To achieve these ambitious targets, car manufacturers are increasingly relying on innovative technologies such as coated brake discs.
Laser cladding is a promising process for manufacturing these ultra-modern brake discs. In this application, a special material powder made of stainless steel and hard carbide is welded onto the surface of the brake disc using a laser. The result is brake systems that not only drastically reduce particulate emissions, but also minimize wear and prevent corrosion.
However, the design and development of this new coating technology also creates new challenges in post-processing. With the VLC 450 DG grinding machine, EMAG offers a specialized solution for the machining of these high-tech brake discs. 
We spoke with Jannik Röttger, Head of Grinding Technology at EMAG, about this innovative technology and EMAG’s response to the challenges of the Euro 7 standard.

Choosing the Right Cylindrical Grinder: What to Look For

by Oliver Hagenlocher 10. February 2025

At its core, cylindrical grinding is all about precision. This process involves machining the external or internal surface of a cylindrical workpiece using grinding machines equipped with rotating wheels. These machines remove material through abrasion, delivering exact dimensions and smooth finishes. Whether it’s external or internal grinding – or even a mix of both – this technique plays a pivotal role in producing high-quality parts for industries like automotive, aerospace and more.

Meet the EURO 7 standard with the hard coating of brake discs

by Oliver Hagenlocher 14. January 2025

With the introduction of the EURO 7 standard, braking systems in cars will have to undergo massive changes, as this is the first time that particulate emissions have been regulated and many current models do not meet these requirements with their brakes. What does this mean in concrete terms for automotive production, what role does the hard coating of brake discs play and why is EMAG’s new laser metal deposition technology the ideal solution? An interview with Dominic Grimminger, brake disc coating expert at EMAG.
