Pemamek has delivered a PEMA Assembly station to Spain-based Lointek, which specialises in structures for the process and energy industries, such as pressure vessels, reactors and columns.

The delivery includes PEMA Assembly line TW5000-100, PEMA A100 Roller beds, and PEMA HD 6×5 Column & Boom. The latter comes equipped with a PEMA WeldControl 500, which has laser-tracking and a special welding head designed for semi-narrow grooves. By investing in the PEMA Assembly station, Lointek increases its welding capacity for thick materials and automates the
SAW welding process.

Haco-Kingsland ensures that all FAT TUR series lathes are comprehensively tested before shipment. A case in point is a TUR 1550 MN that was recently despatched to a customer in Norway. The machine had been made to order with specially requested features that enhance its capabilities even further, including a tool turret with driven tools and full C-axis contouring. As with all TUR series models, the machine was put through its paces during testing to ensure compliance with customer needs and meet stringent internal quality standards.

The FAT TUR 1550 MN is a lathe designed for heavy workpieces. Able to process components measuring up to 1550 mm in diameter, the TUR MN series has proven its worth around the globe and is active in many different industries requiring precision workpieces.
Special care is taken in every single detail of the manufacturing process to guarantee failure-free operation. A linear measuring system eliminates positional deviations due to expansion of the ball screw because of temperature fluctuations, or play between the nut and screw.

The headstock is of a modern compact design, with shafts and gears made of heat-treated alloy steel. Due to the application of closely supported shafts and ground gears, the headstock runs smoothly at all speeds.

A heavy-duty tailstock is deployed to allow bigger workpiece loads and reduce vibration during heavy rough cutting. The extra-large 200 mm diameter quill is hardened and has a built-in live centre with MT 6 taper. In addition, the tailstock rides on an air cushion for easy movement as standard. The tailstock can be easily positioned by carriage using a quick-released coupling, while a hydraulically operated tailstock is offered as an option.

Continental AG’s Additive Design and Manufacturing (ADaM) Competence Centre is now home to an industrial-grade FDM-based Stratasys Fortus 450mc 3D printer.

The Fortus 450mc manufactures final production parts, prototypes and – most notably – jigs and fixtures for the company’s own production line machinery.

Stefan Kammann, head of samples and mechanical solutions, Continental Engineering Services, says: “The Fortus 450mc is a great addition to our portfolio, as it enables the team to access highly specialised materials that allow us to meet the requirements of demanding production applications on the factory floor. In fact, it’s the only 3D printer we have that is capable of creating ESD-compliant production parts in very little time.”
