For the production of homokinetic joints of hardened steel, numerous automotive manufacturers and suppliers rely on ballnose milling cutters from the MAPAL CPMill program.

The right filtration system in a tool grinding operation is an important part of the value chain and a prerequisite for high quality and uninterrupted production. Fine filtration systems developed by Vomat Inc., distributed by oelheld U.S. Inc., grow thanks to the availability of a variety of add-on modules to individually configure and tailor systems.

Mass production components always present challenges: planning the machine installation site, linking machines and coordinating cycle times all to achieve the perfect combination of quality and cost efficiency. The larger the workpiece the more demanding the planning process for the manufacturing set-up. However, optimizing the production of such parts, for example by reducing expensive automation components or reducing the process chain to just a few machines, can drastically cut costs. EMAG's VLC 800 vertical turning center for chucked parts up to 800mm is a production system that combines all these benefits in a single machine thanks to its integrated automation systems.
