Innovative Manufacturing Products
August 1, 2018
GF Machining Solutions will demonstrate a range of innovative high-speed milling, EDM, laser texturing, additive manufacturing (AM) and micro machining technologies, along with automation, tooling and connectivity solutions that address many of today's toughest manufacturing challenges.
Headlining the event will be the North American debut of the new Mikron MILL P 500 U high-performance milling solution. "With its powerful and dynamic material removal capabilities and high stiffness, the Mikron MILL P 500 U takes precision and part surface finish to a new level. It also enables continuous machining of complex forms and tough materials while shortening process time," said a company spokesperson.
Manufacturers in the automotive, aerospace, medical, information and communications technology (ICT), electrical components (EC) and mold and die industries will also experience many other advanced solutions in GF Machining Solutions' booth. These include:
- The AgieCharmilles CUT P 350 wire-cutting EDM machine for accuracy, repeatability and finer surface finishes.
- The Liechti go-Mill 350 5-axis machining center is designed to provide the aerospace industry with the precision needed for blade and blisk applications.
- The AgieCharmilles LASER P 400 U all-in-one 5-axis machine incorporates both a fiber nanosecond laser and a femtosecond pulsed laser to allow texturing, marking and engraving of a surface with a single set-up.
- The Microlution ML-5, a compact, ultra-fast, ultra-precise 5-axis laser micro machining platform designed to make micron-scale machining economically and technically feasible.
- Productivity-boosting tooling, automation and software solutions from GF Machining Solutions' System 3R brand, including the System 3R WPT1+ compact part changing robot and the System 3R TRANSFORMER scalable automation system with a 6-axis FANUC robot.
- Step-Tec's new HVC 140 CoolCore Spindle HSK-E40 targeted to mold and die production and high-end parts production as well as its new HPC290 spindle for heavy-duty milling of structural parts, blisks, fir-tree disks and blades for aerospace.
- rConnect, the central communications platform for the company's milling, EDM and laser texturing machines that offers in-depth remote machine tool analysis for smart factories.
Visitors to GF Machining Solutions' booth will see the #78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota Camry driven by 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Champion Martin Truex Jr. Also on display will be the TRD cutaway engine/powertrain display showing the complex movements of the championship winning engine produced by Toyota Racing Development and produced in a fully automated Mikron MILL line.
