EMAG to Highlight New Technology at EMO Hannover

August 8, 2011
The EMAG Group is spreading its products over three booths, demonstrating their whole range of multifunctional, future-orientated machining solutions for cubic, shaft-type and chucked workpieces at EMO Hannover 2011 from September 19-24. At Booth #C33, EMAG will present a vertical pick-up turning machine that was developed especially for the machining of small chucked and shaft-type components. The VT 2 is available in two different designs: equipped with pendulum technology for the highly productive machining of chucked components with a maximum workpiece diameter of 100 mm or equipped with a tailstock for the machining of shaft-type components with a maximum length of 400 mm. Booth #B54 will feature synchronous support-grinding that radically changes the machining concept for balancer shafts, gear shafts, camshafts and crankshafts. From the complete-machining of crankshafts in a single setup to the high-productivity manufacture of thin workpieces synchronous support-grinding offers a variety of machining possibilities.

Booth #G19 will have the VLC 250 WF turning, hobbing and deburring machine  designed for wheel-shaped workpieces with a maximum diameter of 230 mm and Module 4. The machine offers its user flexibility, because it can be used as a hobbing machine or a single-spindle turning machine, or as a combination of both. Its main application is the precision machining of medium and large batches of geared components.
