314 exhibitors, including the leading companies from the field of Grinding Technology, have already booked their stands for the GrindTec 2014. This is already a good 40 more than at the same point in time before the previous GrindTec, which itself was the biggest event so far. .

Indeed it’s my writing to say so and I hope you will share this feeling about next issue of Eurotec. Again we’ve worked hard to fetch some valuable information for you. All the novelties we discovered this autumn go well in this same direction, each company wishing to provide a better and more precise answer to the wishes of its customers and potential customers, isn’t it great? In Eurotec 390 you will be able to discover: Other ways to manufacture Tailor-made transfer machine with (…)

Discovered at EMO, the DMG MORI SEIKI Ultrasonic 30 linear with its highly accurate, long-term stable gantry design with integral temperature control concept opens up new possibilities in 5-axis precision machining of advanced materials for all precision-relevant machine components. The application focus here is on highest dimensional accuracy, contour accuracy as well as surface qualities Ra < 0.1 μm for Ultrasonic grinding of complex geometries in high performance materials for the (…)

It has happened to everyone to stumble on a machining process. We change a few parameters in the hope the results will be better... but sometimes it is not enough and the number of tests quickly grows too large without any appreciable visible improvement. In this case, one possibility is to use the method of design of experiments (D.O.E.) that allows finding the optimum in carrying out a minimum amount of tests. But the method must be known and requires also the mastery of mathematical (…)

Until recently, Renaud, the Swiss manufacturer of high precision spindles, was limited in its development by cramped premises. What a pity for a growing company not to be able to hire staff because of lack of space! Meeting with M. Jean-Jacques Ceccaldi, an entrepreneur looking for excellence which has moved a little closer to it this summer. After 10 months of study, 10 months of work and more than 40 displaced machines in 15 days of moving, the company is operational in Boudry in its new (…)
