Smart factory focus

Electromobility and Industry 4.0 will feature prominently on the EMAG Group stand at EMO.

Electromobility and Industry 4.0 will feature prominently on the EMAG Group stand at EMO Hannover 2017.

Throughout the show, EMAG machine manufacturers will demonstrate their role as facilitators of technological change – an example being offering complete solutions for the efficient production of central components for electric drive systems.

Exhibition visitors will see several high-performance machines in operation – including world-firsts in the areas of turning, laser welding/joining and gear cutting. At the same time, the EMAG Group is also accelerating the digitalisation of its production technology to establish intelligent factories.

The manufacturing data from the machines offers options for perfecting central processes with custom-fit software tools: ‘MultiMachineMonitor’, for example, enables the control of different machines from a central location via tablet or PC, and fine-tuning of the production process. The ‘EC Data’ software guarantees traceability of the production process on any workpiece at any time and ‘MachineStatus’ provides a detailed analysis of the machine and the tools during operation.

An additional focus at EMO also looks to the future because EMAG solutions allow for the efficient production of components for hybrid and electric drive systems – from rotors and complex differentials to new types of transmission shafts.

This process spans raw parts through to final precision machining – and the wide range of technology within the Emag Group makes this all possible. On show at EMO will be the enhanced dual-spindle VL 3 Duo vertical turning centre – a highly productive solution for gear and engine components up to 150mm in diameter.

Of similar interest is the world premiere of the VLC 50 Twin turning centre for gear components with a diameter of up to 75mm. It has two main spindles in the machining area that are able to process two identical workpieces simultaneously resulting in higher productivity and lower unit costs. Diameter and length of the two workpieces can be adjusted independently by the two spindles.

Another world first is the introduction of the ELC 160 HP production solution. This machine is used for processing the control gear and clutch body, and combines several process steps into a synchronous system: joining (press fitting) of the clutch body; induction pre-heating (if required by the material); and connecting the components with a laser beam.
