Laser scanning cutting machine

Bodor Laser (Hall 18, Stand 530), a specialist in laser cutting and the constant evolution of this advanced process, will showcase a new category of machine at MACH 2022. Available from UK representative, World Machinery, the Bodor laser scanning cutting machine is said to disrupt the profiling market. According to the company, its new fibre-based laser scanning cutting machine can cut much faster and much thicker materials in comparison with a traditional laser cutter. The new Bodor machine is also free of beam reflection to suit the processing of highly reflective materials. During the exhibition, visitors to the Bodor stand will experience the P3 model featuring a 12 kW laser source and T230 with a 3 kW resonator. Bodor says that these high-performance machines will provide an able demonstration of the company’s development, technologies and the new trend in laser cutting.

Faster saw blade production

Vollmer (Hall 20, Stand 55) will be demonstrating its circular saw blade production expertise with the CHX/HS CNC grinding machine and the Loroch Powerstar 850. The Vollmer CHX/HS automated CNC machine is capable of sharpening the tooth face and top of circular saw blades in a single set-up with continuous unmanned running. Loroch’s Powerstar 850 has a host of features that enable it to undertake sharpening, re-toothing and chamfering of saw blades. The machine can process blades from 130 to 850 mm with blade thickness up to 8 mm.

Advances in finishing

Fintek (Hall 19, Stand 26) will showcase the automated surface finishing of larger components, as well as a new electro-chemical processes for the removal of support structures and the finishing of internal and external surfaces of additively manufactured parts. The Otec Präzisionsfinish SF-HP brings high-energy stream finishing to workpieces up to 650 mm in diameter and 650 mm long, and weighing up to 200 kg. From Rena Technologies, Fintek can offer the Hirtisation process that resolves one of additive manufacturing’s major obstacles: the cost effective and efficient removal of support structures and residues, and the smoothing of hard-to-reach internal surfaces and deep cavities.

Measuring progress

In addition to mobile measuring systems such as the Surfcom Touch 50 and Handysurf+, technical staff from Accretech SBS (Hall 19, Stand 514) will be demonstrating the recently launched NEX series of roundness, form and surface roughness measuring instruments. For instance, the new Rondcom NEX series is said to offer the best concentricity and straightness precision levels in its class: (0.02+3.2H/10000) µm and 0.15 µm (Z300) respectively. These figures are made possible by the use of air-bearing rotary tables and extremely high rotational accuracy.

Tooling for every machining application

With its four competence brands of Ceratizit, WNT, Komet and Klenk, there is never a shortage of new developments from Ceratizit UK & Ireland (Hall 18, Stand 210). For instance, if turning inserts can be described as intelligent then the new CTCP115 CTCP125-P and CTCP115-P grades for the machining of ISO-P grade steel are certainly that, while Silverline is a range of solid-carbide end mills in a variety of styles, including Torus-style cutters. Ceratizit will also present the latest threading and drilling innovations, alongside new clamping products like the SBF-3 stationary three-jaw chuck.
