“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.

“Our hobbing processes are now five times faster than before”

by Oliver Hagenlocher 30. October 2019

Whenever containers are lifted by trucks, large excavator shovels are swiveled or heavy containers are tilted at production plants, powerful rotary drives are to thank! The number of application examples for this technology is almost unlimited. As market leader in this sector, HKS Dreh-Antriebe GmbH with headquarters in Wächtersbach, Hesse relies on vertical hobbing machines from EMAG Richardon – major gearing is created with their help. These specialists have recently acquired a new machine of this type for their production site in Neukirch, Saxony. In the following interview, HKS Production Manager Mario Vogt explains why they made this investment decision and what technological challenges stand out in this process.
