“We have a lot of experience and knowledge involving tooth flank grinding”

by Oliver Hagenlocher 9. June 2021

Particular precision is essential for the e-drive market: Many components require perfect surfaces – this ensures smooth running at the high torques of the electric motor. The example of “tooth flank grinding” with machines from EMAG SU shows how suppliers, general transmission manufacturers and OEMs can implement this requirement: The grinding specialists have, for example, a special axis concept in the G 160 machine that guarantees microscopically perfect surfaces. A conversation with Alexander Morhard from EMAG SU about EMAG SU’s mechanical engineering solutions for tooth flank grinding.

Does it always have to be chipping? Breaking new ground in manufacturing with ECM

by Oliver Hagenlocher 6. May 2021

ECM (Electrochemical Machining) is being used for a growing range of industrial applications. To date, deburring is customary, but ECM could replace traditional chip-removal manufacturing processes as a better alternative. In the interview, our two ECM experts Fazli Yilmaz and Franz Gross from EMAG ECM explain what ECM is all about.

Automatic Torque Converter: Reasons for Success in the Automotive Industry

Transmission Manufacturing: Five Facts about Automatic Torque Converters

by Markus Isgro 16. March 2021

1. Name

In a traditional automatic transmission, a torque converter is installed between the engine and transmission. This core component contains an impeller, turbine wheel and a guide wheel. Driven by the engine, the impeller blade catch oil in the housing which creates a flow that will delayed drive the turbine wheel. This principle ensures a smooth startup and separates the drive train from the engine’s vibrations (referred to as engine irregularities).

Success Story Technologies

“The Red Dot Award is a huge success and validates our work.”

by Oliver Hagenlocher 12. October 2020

With the introduction of EDNA, EMAG has developed a complete ecosystem for digitizing industrial production. This required strengthening bonds between teams across company boarders – in addition to the EMAG subsidiaries, diverse external digitization specialists were involved. For this reason, we knew that we had to invite several different people to join this conversation: Peter Strohm, Business Development Manager IoT at EMAG, as well as Ricarda Schuhmann and Lukas Siegele from our partner intuit to tell us about the development process, the possibilities offered by EDNA and why they are so happy about receiving this very special award.

Video Scroll-Free Turning of Thin Walled Components

by Oliver Hagenlocher 7. May 2020

The scroll-free turning of rotor shaft sheet metal housings has a number of advantages over the traditional turning process. For one, scroll-free turning provides significantly higher feed rates per revolution, leading to a reduction in overall cycle time. Machine time is also reduced by using the entire cutting edge of the tool – providing the additional benefit of improving tool life. This technology has also proven to achieve significantly better surface qualities.

How light will future commercial vehicles be?

by Markus Isgro 8. April 2020

Lightweight design in the commercial vehicle industry? For years, this question was unimportant to truck developers. They were more focused on the stability of the vehicle as it was expected to provide reliable service for decades. However, with a new focus on CO₂ emissions, this view is changing and the industry is looking for a way to keep the vehicles stability, but while also incorporating a lightweight design.

VL 1 TWIN Dual-Spindle Turning Center with Loading Robot

by Markus Isgro 15. November 2019

The VL 1 TWIN has set the new standard for the high-output, simultaneous machining of workpieces with a maximum dimaeter of 75 mm (3 in). This turning center has two main spindles in one machining area that are able to simultaneously machine two identical workpieces – resulting in substantially increased output quantities, and lower unit costs.
