AMB | International trade fair for metalworking
Our Fair Special to the biennial event in even years AMB, International Exhibition for Metalworking, shows you the highlights of the event taking place at the Stuttgart Trade Fair. Exhibition areas are Spanende Machine Tools, Robot, Workpiece and tool handling technology, Workholding, abrasive machine tools, industrial software + engineering, Precision tools, components, assemblies and accessories, Measurement Technology and quality assurance and services.
AMB 2024 – Now the machines communicate
The meaning of Industry 4.0 in the metal industry has increased significantly. Visitors to AMB, the International Exhibition for Metalworking, can learn about intelligent networks, automation solutions, CAD/CAM applications, collaborative Robotic and KI inform.
The special exhibition Umati at the leading trade fair for metalworking shows the spread and use of open interface standards based on OPC UAThis demonstration makes the heart of automation engineers beat faster and shows how machines and systems can communicate with each other and be integrated into customer-specific IT ecosystems. In addition, the Smart Factory in the east entrance area presents a fully automated process chain in which several manufacturers demonstrate their know-how in the form of the interaction of their products and systems via interfaces.
Tools Digital real-time monitoring, equipping clamping devices with intelligent measuring technology, digital twins and other topics in the field of digitalization will dominate the picture at the trade fair. Technologies, machines and precision tools are increasingly being automated, not least to alleviate the shortage on the skilled labor market. AMB 2024 opens its doors from 10. to 14. September 2024 at the Stuttgart Trade Fair, Baden-Württemberg.
Main topics of the AMB world:
- Machine Tools
- Precision tools
- Measurement technology and quality assurance
- Automation and Industry 4.0
- Digitalization
- additive manufacturing
- Surface Technology
- Sustainability and resource efficiency
- Services and software solutions
Product innovations 2024
Exhibitors, trade visitors and those who don't have time to come to the exhibition center can find information before and after the event in our exhibition special new products the exhibitor in the form of product reports, user reports or specialist articles.
Drive technology for the AMB
Linear motor with best dynamics + energy efficiency
Up to 50% lower power loss and up to 40% more nominal force: this is what the new L7 linear motors (pictured above) from Schaeffler offer users. Combined with particularly low operating costs, significantly shorter machining cycles can be achieved. Greater machine precision is also achieved due to the lower heating of the motor and machine frame.
BLDC motor spindle for brushing and deburring
With the BLDC motor spindle, MD Drucklufttechnik is introducing an electric drive for use in a compressed air technology domain for the first time. The first users are likely to include manufacturers who previously had no compressors or no suitable compressors for brushing and deburring. Starting with the new electric drives also makes economic sense for smaller brushing and deburring applications.
Automation to AMB
NC software optimizes tool use based on AI
Mitsubishi Electric presents the software solution NC Machining AID. It is the first AI-based solution in Europe that significantly improves machining processes. While its application leads to greater efficiency, it only causes lower costs. The NC Machining AID focuses on optimizing tool use.
TNC control with context-sensitive support
Heidenhain is presenting a variety of new solutions aimed at increasing productivity, quality and process reliability. One highlight is the new hardware variants of the TNC7 control, which expand the application possibilities with three screen sizes (24", 19" and 16") and two different keyboard units. A particular focus: the new 16" variant TNC7 basic.
Robot arms in the age of digital transformation
Mitsubishi Electric is introducing its new Melfa series articulated robot for digital transformation in automation. The robot arm combines advanced hardware, intelligent software and seamless integration into the digital manufacturing environment. It offers a higher payload, greater reach, a larger portfolio across all price segments and all this while maintaining the same industry standards.
Modular Ethernet APL terminals
05.06.2024 | Ethernet-APL is not just about pure process data, but especially about status information from field devices for diagnostics and predictive maintenance. Beckhoff is therefore integrating this technology into its modular terminal portfolio. The compact Ethercat terminal ELX6233 is now available for the modular integration of Ethernet-APL-capable field devices.
Fluid technology for the AMB
Lifting cylinder unit for synchronous pallet changers
16.08.2024/XNUMX/XNUMX | The synchronous movement of all lifting cylinders is crucial for the precise lifting and lowering of pallet changers in laser cutting systems. With the decentralized Liftax solution, Hawe Hydraulik offers a highly precise and compact plug-and-play unit that is mounted at each lifting point of the pallet changer.
Machine elements for the AMB
Calculate, configure and order plain bearings
25.07.2024/XNUMX/XNUMX | With the Igus online shop for polymer plain bearings, users can now enter dimensions, determine application parameters and immediately find suitable plain bearings. The shop offers a transparent overview of all suitable products, regardless of whether they are standard or special bearings. Practical filters such as price, delivery time and service life make the selection easier. Technical drawings and CAD data are available free of charge.
Patented bayonet connection for interchangeable head milling cutters
26.07.2024/90/XNUMX | Mapal will present an innovative, patented bayonet connection point for replaceable head milling cutters. This new technology offers users user-friendly handling, a rigid connection and improved cooling. The principle is simple: the replaceable head is inserted, rotated XNUMX degrees and locked.
High-precision RTB bearings for machine tools
With the bidirectional rotary table bearing or RTB bearing, Rodriguez presents moving highlights for the construction of machine tools in high-performance applications. The RTB axial-radial bearings offer high strength, tilting stiffness and rolling accuracy. Among other things, the RTB-ABS bearing type with integrated absolute encoder has been further optimized.
Jaw chuck + quick change reduce set-up time
16.07.2024/XNUMX/XNUMX | Reducing set-up times is crucial for increasing efficiency in production. Hainbuch's Centrotex quick-change system enables clamping devices to be changed in less than a minute while offering consistently high precision. The company is now introducing the "B-Tex" jaw chuck.
High performance drill for precise titanium machining
Mikron Tool presents the new generation of titanium drills, perfectly tailored to the different requirements of titanium types. Pure titanium and alloyed titanium types have different machining properties, which makes the use of universal tools ineffective. The new drills can machine both pure titanium and alloyed titanium types reliably and efficiently.
Material-friendly thread milling cutter for clean threads
Thread quality is often the decisive factor for success or failure. Since threads are usually created at the end of the machining process, the highest precision and process reliability are required. Ceratizit's Performance Line shank thread milling cutters offer a performance increase of up to 20% compared to previous models.
Product development for AMB
Interpolation turning for combined turning/milling
Since 4.1 Release 8, Tebis has supported interpolation turning in addition to turn-milling and mill-turning. This means that rotationally symmetrical areas can be produced easily and cost-effectively even on many milling machines. With combined turning/milling, turning and milling processes can be carried out consistently on one machine without reclamping.
Materials and processes for AMB
Sustainable slewing ring bearing made of wood and plastic
Igus slewing ring and rotary table bearings are characterized by their maintenance-free polymer components. The latest development is a slewing ring bearing made of a wood-plastic mixture. The integrated Isense sensor system enables precise monitoring and early detection of wear. This means preventive measures can be taken in advance and machine downtime can be avoided.
