Trends at EMO 2013
:: Rotary transfer technology was not
left behind in the machine tool design
category as can be seen with this
machine from Gnutti. Called piccolo,
this new 32-mm maximum diameter,
24-station machine is designed to be
quickly reconfgurable to refect low
volume, high mix production realities.
It is an integral package and has new
operational software. For more information, visit gnutti.com.
:: DMG Mori Seiki has been at
industrial machine tool design perhaps
as long as any company. That is refected
in its new DMC 650 V, a new VMC series
introduced at EMO. It uses a fxed table
design that allows for workpiece weights
up to 800 kg. It also features the
company's new CNC called the Celos,
which puts many monitoring functions
in the control for instant process and
machine process data analysis. For more
information, visit dmgmori-usa.com.
:: Not new, but still novel, this is the multi-Swiss from
Tornos, frst shown at EMO 2011. The form is obvious.
The function, however, six-sliding headstock spindles, is
unique. The integrated package including bar feeder, still is
able to turn heads. For more information, visit tornos.us.
