Okuma's GI-10NII is equipped with extremely rigid, high-speed grinding wheel spindles that produce high-performance production in automated environments.

The HACO-FLEX regenerator is not a new product," says Peter Haefeli, coowner of long-established grinding tools manufacturer Haefeli, when asked how long the product has been on the market. "Although this exceptionally practical tool has been part of our range for almost 50 years, it looks a bit different these days and is now even more effective."

International competition in the automotive industry continues to increase, as do the technological demands on vehicles, and with them the costs.

United Grinding introduced the new Studer S141 universal I.D. cylindrical grinding machine that offers the ability to internally grind longer workpieces common to the machine tool, drive element, aerospace and toolmaking industries.

International competition in the automotive industry continues to increase, as do the technological demands on vehicles, and with them the costs. But increasing prices in the face of stiff competition in the market is no longer easily defensible. According to a McKinsey study, the costs incurred in the manufacture of passenger cars must be reduced three to four percent per year to retain current profitability levels. This is a staggering percentage, yet many manufacturers remain unclear how to achieve these numbers. EMAG offers precision solutions, for example with crankshafts, where a lot is dependent on the grinding process carried out on this core engine component. In the future, the process must be of greater precision and subject to an even higher degree of efficiency. The grinding experts at EMAG offer an interesting alternative in their PMD 2 crankshaft grinder.
