Die and mould competence across the board

April 13, 2016 5:51 pm

DMG MORI will be presenting four high-tech machines and innovative production solutions for the die and mould industry live in operation during this year’s Die & Mould exhibition in Bengaluru
That advanced production solutions ensure competitive ability in the manufacturing industry is an undisputed fact. DMG MORI supports its customers in this respect with its many years of experience and holistic process competence. A key feature in the range of products and services of the leader of innovation is also its specific branch orientation. Thanks to innumerable projects in the die and mould making branch, DMG MORI has been able to build up a wealth of application-specific expertise from which its customers today benefit. Because experts from DMG MORI concentrate on developing future-orientated manufacturing solutions for branch-specific applications in dedicated competence centres.
HSC Center and Mould Laboratory – die and mould competence built on years of experienceDie and mould applications have ranked high at DMG MORI for many years and this has resulted in an enormous wealth of experience in this sector on the one hand and the development and continued development of path-breaking manufacturing technologies on the other. The HSC Centre in Geretsried and the Mould Laboratory in Japanese Nara impressively underscore this competence with specialised application technicians who always develop optimum manufacturing solutions for the tool and mould making sector. Trials are carried out here, customers are given technological support and training courses are offered.
The demands on precision, long-term accuracy and surface qualities are met by stable DMG MORI machining centres that are convincing with their thermo-symmetric design and innovative cooling systems. While spindles with shaft, flange and sleeve cooling ensure best surfaces, dynamic linear drives enable the required precision and at the same time shorter machining times.
At the Die & Mould trade fair, DMG MORI will be presenting its branch competence with the powerful entry-level vertical machining centre ecoMill 600 V as well as the high-tech vertical machining centres DMC 650 V and NVX 5080 and the universal milling machine DMU 65 monoBLOCK.
CELOS is on board, as it is in all high-tech machines from DMG MORI. This uniform, app-based user interface enables consistent management, documentation and visualisation of order, process and machine data. In die and mold applications in particular, users benefit here from a seamless process chain.
CELOS from DMG MORI for Industry 4.0The topic “Industry 4.0” is dominating the discussion of the future like no other, even in the sector of machine tool construction. As the leading manufacturer of metal removing machine tools worldwide, DMG MORI supports its customers on their way to digital transformation of manufacturing process chains with the app-based CELOS system, which the machine tool manufacturer first presented around three years ago and which it has consistently continued to develop in a targeted manner ever since. Using this uniform user interface for machine and office PC, employees in shop floor and job scheduling can manage, document and visualise job order, process and machine data.
Thanks to its open architecture, CELOS allows the exchange of information with higher-level structures in addition to its effects in the shop floor area. So CELOS offers customers complete integration of their machines in the company organisation while simultaneously creating today the interface of metal cutting production in the cyber-physical production system of the future. The benefits in day-to-day operation are convincing: a 30 per cent time saving in tooling times and 50 percent lower time and effort for the calculation of technology values or the search for important information are just a few of the effects that can be achieved with CELOS.
ecoMill V series – New revolutionary vertical machining centres in the new design with the new DMG MORI Multi-Touch SLIMline controlWith the ecoMill 600 V at the Die & Mould trade fair, DMG MORI is presenting the new generation of the ecoMill V series.DMG MORI has defined a new standard of performance in the sector of entry-level machines with the ECOLINE product line. Even at the very first glance, the vertical machining centre impresses with its new design that ensures further improved work ergonomics and a higher level of value retention. The ecoMillV series is based on a C-frame cast iron bed for the best stiffness and vibration characteristics ensuring highest precision. Ball screws of the highest quality and a powerful 12,000 rpm spindle were combined to meet the highest standards in production. The performance of the ecoMill V machines even in the smallest size is outstanding already in the standard version. The highest precision (without direct scales) can be realized, due to direct coupling in X / Y, no belt drive for no backlash.
An optimised machine structure also increases stability during machining, and a high degree of manufacturing flexibility is provided in the standard version by having 30 tool pockets in the tool magazine. The absolute highlight is the new 19 – inches DMG MORI multi-touch SLIMline multi-touch control with Operate on SIEMENS (19” / Operate on SIEMENS / 400 V) with top screen resolution and touch function represents the next advanced step for a modern user interface. The practical and ergonomically optimised 19-inch multi-touch display with its maximised resolution and 45-degree swivel range offers decisive user benefits. The new ecoMill V series is also available with DMG MORI SLIMline Panel (15” / MAPPS IV on FANUC).
