EDITORIAL This includes direct and indirect emissions from our own value creation and indirect emissions from upstream processes along the supply chain. Among other things, we also ask our suppliers to become active themselves and, for example, to reduce their CO2 emissions. Christian Thönes: All machines delivered anywhere in the world after January 2021 are manufactured in a completely climate-neutral way. DMG MORI thus assumes a pioneering role in the industry worldwide. Out of more than 1,000 applicants, we are among the TOP 17 companies nominated for Europe’s largest sustainability award in the field of climate protection. Since September 2021, DMG MORI has also been a certified member of the “Science Based Targets” initiative, whose goal is to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5 °C. In 2021, we also committed to imple- menting the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), thus following the recommendations for voluntary and consistent disclosure of climate-related information. Speaking of the supply chain, recent studies In particular, many small and mid-size predict that disruptions in the global companies face enormous challenges economy could continue until the middle when it comes to digitization. What is your of the year. An easing of the situation is assessment of the digital situation in the man- currently not in sight, they say. How tense is the situation at DMG MORI? Dr. Masahiko Mori: Shortages of material and high costs for raw material and transport put a strain on the whole economy. Added to this are the general restrictions due to Corona and increasing inflation. This is something we as a machine tool manufacturer also expe- rience. Nevertheless, thanks to our stable, excellent network of partners and suppliers, we were able to avoid serious interruptions in production and even reduce price adjust- ments in sales to a minimum. We owe that to our customers. Christian Thönes: Today we are, on the whole, more innovative, more digital and more resil- ient in terms of sustainability, from raw mate- rials to recycling, and with a unique future architecture for networked solutions consist- ing of machines, automation and digitization. This means: DMG MORI is on course. ufacturing industry? Dr. Masahiko Mori: The present shouldn’t be measured against a backdrop of exag- gerated visions. After around ten years of “Industry 4.0”, the entire industry is still in the early stages of what was a scientifically proclaimed industrial revolution with undeni- ably fascinating possibilities and perspectives that are now gradually becoming concrete and possible to realize. Christian Thönes: In this respect, DMG MORI is regarded as an “enabler”, as a digital pioneer in machine tool manufacturing and produc- tion technology. We take responsibility and implement digitization internally in our own production plants as well as externally at our customers. To this end, we offer a com- prehensive portfolio of digital products and services for the entire process chain: from planning and work preparation to production, monitoring and service. DMG MORI has committed itself to comply with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This goes hand in hand with joining the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which validates our specific CO2 reduction targets for meeting the 1.5 degree objective. 04 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

Dr. Masahiko Mori: I am also particularly proud of the new LPS 4 Cell Controller, with which we have integrated the digital automation of products and processes as well as the digi- tal networking of entire process chains and production networks into manufacturing. As a central component on the shop floor, the new master computer can now manage var- ious pallet and workpiece handling systems, including the control of driverless transport systems (AGVs) for internal logistics. Moreover, thanks to an open DMG MORI API (Applica- tion Programming Interface), the LPS 4 Cell Controller can be integrated quickly, easily and, above all, individually into a customer’s system or IT infrastructure. This clearly points the way to digital twins. How has DMG MORI defined this topic for itself? Christian Thönes: The yardstick for us is prac- tical implementation and a consistent focus on added value for the customer. For us at DMG MORI, “digital twin” always stands for a digital image of machines, automation sys- tems, processes and sequences. As early as in the development phase, we use the “digital twin” e.g. to simulate all production pro- cesses including work area, automation and all components. This speeds up the process enormously and provides a time advantage of 80% later on during commissioning. In addition, employees can be trained on the “digital twin” of the machine or system prior to installation and NC programs can be pre- pared perfectly. Dr. Masahiko Mori: At the moment, we are already preparing the next step. Specifically, the aim is to transfer the level of intelligent virtuality achieved in digital engineering to the practical application at the customer’s site. This perspective creates a transparent digital image of the machine and process life cycle. From this, countless possibilities for opti- mization of the value-added processes in machine tool manufacturing and pro- duction engineering can be derived using human experience and AI tools. Among other things, this bridges the gap to our

DMG MORI TECHNOLOGY CYCLES UTILIZE YOUR MACHINE’S FULL POTENTIAL Conversational programming is 60 % faster Complex NC programs are calculated auto- matically after entering the gear parame- ters using menu guidance. This delivers a time saving of up to 60 % compared with conventional programming. With gear- BROACHING, gearSKIVING and gearMILL, DMG MORI offers three innovative technol- ogy cycles that enable high-accuracy gears to be machined efficiently. « Consider this scenario. You get an enquiry for a range of components that, at first sight, are ideal for your machines. But the devil is in the detail. Special operations are needed, e. g. internal teeth which you are unable to reproduce. You now have to choose whether to turn down the order or buy-in the service from outside. However, this can be avoided by using our exclusive DMG MORI technology cycles. On the following pages, you will find out how to overcome these challenges as well, and increase your own added value with a simple software upgrade. Gear cutting for all The manufacture of high-quality precision gears has for decades been the preserve of the absolute specialist, applying to the machine builder as well as to those “indoc- trinated” in the application. However, the picture has changed fundamentally with pioneering innovations such as 5-axis simul- taneous machining and the integration of technologies for turning, milling and (more recently) grinding. 55 DMG MORI technology cycles – complex machining implemented with ease As a pioneer and market leader in these cut- ting-edge fields of machine tool manufacture, DMG MORI has continuously pushed the boundaries to the point where they become standard. Along with mechanical innovations, increasingly progressive and powerful con- trol systems have characterized the face of machine tool evolution. The practical appli- cation of mechanics and electronics have ultimately been completely revolutionized by DMG MORI technology cycles, which pres- ently number 55. Unique DMG MORI gear-cutting cycles These digital masterpieces enable a wide range of gears, even those of high com- plexity and precision, to be programmed directly at the machine. Special gear-cutting machines have therefore simply become unnecessary for a wide variety of tasks. This also applies retrospectively, as many of the DMG MORI technology cycles, particu- larly the gear-cutting cycles, are available as retrofit options for existing DMG MORI machines. 55 DMG MORI TECHNOLOGY CYCLES – COMPLEX MACHINING IMPLEMENTED WITH EASE + 23 MACHINING CYCLES e. g. new machining processes and enhanced machine capability such as gear machining + 15 HANDLING CYCLES e. g. simplification of machine operation and automated sequences + 9 MEASURING CYCLES CONVERSATIONAL PROGRAMMING IS 60 % FASTER The exclusive DMG MORI technology cycles are genuine assistive systems for shopfloor programming that boost productivity and safety as well as enhancing machine capability. + Clear programming structure + Up to 60 % faster programming + Error reduction thanks to conversational programming e. g. increased machining accuracy and transparency of QA processes + New technologies (gear-cutting, grinding) + 8 MONITORING CYCLES e. g. increased machine safety and process reliability + Technology know-how saved in the program 08 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

CUSTOMER STORY – MASCHINENFABRIK MÖNNINGHOFF GMBH & CO. KG After Mönninghoff had outsourced special gear manufacturing to another firm – Chem- nitzer Zahnradfabrik – in 1992, the company was free to concentrate on its core exper- tise: The design and manufacture of sophis- ticated and complex coupling and braking systems. “These are almost exclusively special solutions, which we often develop in cooperation with our customers,” explains Charlotte Finger. Mönninghoff is well known throughout industry for this expertise and is generally involved in project developments at an early stage. For a long time now, the company has not considered itself simply a supplier but rather a technology partner for its customers. Robo2Go: Multi-machine operation and consistent quality in 3-shift operation While Mönninghoff is preserving this spe- cialist expertise for future generations by in-house training, with currently six junior trainees employed, the focus is also on contin- uous modernization of production. The proof lies in regular investment in CNC technology from DMG MORI – the latest being a CTX beta 800 TC with Robo2Go. Timon Lubek, head of production, explains the reason behind the acquisition: “Our goal is to achieve the highest possible machine utilization across all three shifts. Supported by the Robo2Go, our team is even able to operate several machines at the same time.” It offers easy handling and is the ideal automation for medium-size batches. Timon Lubek considers quality to be another argument in favor of automated manufac- turing: “As manual reclamping is no longer necessary, it is easier to achieve accuracies down to tens of microns.” Components made of different materials including steel, alumi- num and bronze are part of the daily work. Automation and Technology Cycles from DMG MORI Maschinenfabrik Mönninghoff is taking new initiatives in its manufacturing together with those who ultimately work with the modern technology. Timon Lubek says: “It is impor- tant to include in purchasing decisions the employee who is to be responsible for oper- ation, as the person can contribute their experience and are in a position to recognize the added value quickly.” This was the case with the Robo2Go and applies equally to the subject of technology integration. Mönninghoff makes use of a range of DMG MORI Technology Cycles, which ena- ble special processes such as gear cut- ting to be carried out on conventional CNC machine tools. AUTOMATION SOLUTION AND TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION ARE THE IDEAL WAY FOR US TO SUSTAINABLY INCREASE OUR CAPACITY. Optimal machine utilization thanks to gear cutting cycles from DMG MORI “Our coupling components all have different gear teeth, which used to be manufactured using special gear cutting machines,” explains Timon Lubek. “The Technology Cycles from DMG MORI allow us to machine the same products, switching rings for example, on conventional turn-mill centers like the CTX beta 800 TC to the same quality on the same machine and sometimes even faster. The experience of the Mönninghoff specialists has repeatedly been incorporated into the continued development of the Technology Cycles. Manufacture of gear components now only requires a maximum of two clampings. » The Robo2Go stacking magazine offers sufficient capacity to enable around-the-clock production with the CTX beta 800 TC. 14 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

With gearMILL, technology integration on the DMC 125 FD duoBLOCK goes one step further. gearMILL enables soft and hard machining on one machine and offers qual- ity inspection during the process. In this way, different gears can be produced, and in qual- ities up to DIN 5 for bevel gears and DIN 6 for cylindrical gears. gearMILL is machine- independent, as it is stand-alone software that can generate NC programs for almost all lathes and milling machines. The program is created on the basis of drawings or gear data. “The solution is extremely economical for us because we can work with standard tools and at the same time have maximum flexibility because we don’t need any special machines for the prototypes or special solu- tions,” judges Bernard Vukovic. “We just enter the gear parameters and the software throws up the appropriate NC program.” Even con- tact pattern adaptations are possible without any problems, he adds. 22 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE Thanks to the high precision of the DMG MORI machines, reworking is already reduced to a minimum.

INTERVIEW – AUTOMATION Linear Pallet Pool ECONOMICAL AND FLEXIBLE AROUND THE CLOCK To remain competitive in the globalized world, American customers are increasingly investing in automated manufacturing solu- tions. As a holistically oriented solution pro- vider, DMG MORI supports its customers in this step with innovative products across the entire machine portfolio. Dr. Keiichi Ota, Pres- ident DMG MORI USA, and John McDonald, Executive Vice President & Automation expert DMG MORI Manufacturing USA, talk about the challenges involved and provide an assessment of future market development. Dr. Ota, Mr. McDonald, automation of production is a global trend DMG MORI is shaping intensively in machine tool manufacturing. How is this development visible in the USA? Dr. Ota: The need for automation solutions is growing rapidly in the U.S., because the market is presenting manufacturing companies with significant challenges. Most customers report that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find well-trained skilled workers. With autono- mous manufacturing, they can compensate for this shortage. In addition, there is fierce competition – both domestically and globally. The most effective response to this is to max- imize machine utilization through automation systems that ensure operation even during unmanned shifts at night or on weekends. This includes process integration, as well, such as substituting conventional 3-axis milling or simple turning with 5-axis tech- nology or turn & mill machining centers that allow complete machining. McDonald: This process integration is nec- essary to achieve efficient automation pro- cesses because you only need one machine tool for operations that had required two or more before. At the same time, demands for flexible manufacturing are increasing. This means that automated manufacturing sys- tems must produce according to demand. This is exactly what our linear pallet pools (LPP) are designed for. Operators set up the pallets according to the current order status and bring them into the system. From there, the LPS4 master computer coordinates the rest of the process. Depending on prioritiza- tion, the pallets are loaded into the machines and unloaded again after completion of the components. So the comparatively high investment in a manufacturing automation solution pays off in terms of high productivity and low-manpower production? McDonald: Yes, the interaction of these two fac- tors is decisive. On the one hand, production capacities increase, on the other hand, per- sonnel costs remain constant, because no additional employees are required for simple tasks. Meanwhile, the well-trained skilled workers gain time for more productive and demanding tasks such as programming new orders or quality control. Our area sales man- agers use an app called Business Benefits Optimizer (BBO) that is able to calculate var- ious scenarios for manufacturing solutions with or without automation. By showing con- crete costs the BBO helps customers “do the math” when it comes to the ROI of an investment into an automation. Dr. Ota: The automation of simple tasks also has an impact on employee motivation. Those who studied machining and practiced it for many years are happy when they can apply this knowledge to new challenges. In addition, the modern manufacturing solutions are very attractive for young and tech-savvy employees. Any production can come to a standstill due to raw material shortages or unforeseen disruptions. How do you prevent such risks? McDonald: With consistent monitoring of the processes. On the one hand, the DMG MORI Messenger allows monitoring in real time. It permanently supplies data on the produc- tivity of the plant and analyzes it to detect a potential bottleneck as early as possible. The CONDITION ANALYZER also allows a compo- nent-based analysis of the machine condition. Additionally, sensors record forces, vibrations and temperature – information on the basis of which preventive maintenance can be carried out. On the one hand, this ensures reliable production; on the other, it benefits compo- nent quality. Dr. Ota: These two examples show how important digitization is in connection with automation. The LPS4 master computer is connected to the respective ERP system so that the users work with an end-to-end digitized process chain from order entry to production.

CUSTOMER STORY – GRONINGER USA L.L.C Transportation star wheel LOCAL PRODUCTION FOR INCREASED RESILIENCE Since 1980, groninger has stood for innova- tion, quality and service in special machine construction for the pharmaceutical, cos- metics and consumer healthcare industries. In 1997, the company opened a subsidiary in the USA, which moved in 2012 to a new location in Charlotte, North Carolina. From there, nearly 70 employees provide cus- tomers in the North American region with best-in-class local services: remote ser- vice support, field service, in-house made parts and warehousing for spare parts sourced locally and in Germany. With a new DMU 75 monoBLOCK, groninger USA is able to double their in-house production. This latest acquisition is the result of good experiences with DMG MORI, especially at their headquarters in Germany. groninger has become a technology leader in building customized machines, and dec- ades of experience ensures high quality production processes and excellent results for their customers. “To remain successful, we must not only know our customers and their industries, but we must also understand all plant interfaces of our machines,” says Heiner Dornburg, CEO of groninger USA. “The competence and enthusiasm of our employees is the basis of the extremely successful development of our company.” As the only authorized service provider for GRONINGER: A TECHNOLOGY LEADER IN PRIMARY PACKAGING groninger machines in North America, groninger USA makes sure that customers are given the functionality, quality, agility and short lead-time that they need to meet and exceed their goals. Doubling in-house production with the DMU 75 monoBLOCK At a time when local production has become critical for resiliency and stability, groninger USA has strengthened local capabilities by expanding their own manufacturing. “As we already knew from our headquarters in Germany, DMG MORI is a strong support in finding an optimal manufacturing solu- tion,” explains Heiner Dornburg. “Adding the DMU 75 monoBLOCK is a great opportunity for groninger USA to supply our customers even faster and increase service agility.” By manufacturing lots of parts in-house on the 5-axis machining center, the company can react quicker to customer needs and achieve shorter lead times compared to overseas and U.S. third party parts vendors. “This ensures a faster spare part and format set availability for our customers.” The 5-axis capability of the DMU 75 monoBLOCK is an essential factor, as it is used for the production of increasingly com- plex workpieces that groninger machines require.

CUSTOMER STORY – MANUFACTURAS Y ALEACIONES DE COBRE SA DE CV The seven models installed have included a DMF 180|7 linear and an HSC 30 linear for the past two years, giving the company an additional boost in 5-axis simultaneous machining. Turnover doubled in 10 years. EXPANSION THANKS TO 5-AXIS SIMULTANEOUS MACHINING Manufacturas y Aleaciones de Cobre SA de CV (Macosa) was founded in 2000 in Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico. As a supplier to the automotive, power engineering and con- struction machinery industries, the company manufactures electrodes, resistance weld- ing components and impellers, among other products. More than 100 employees ensure smooth processes from consulting to produc- tion and service. In manufacturing, Macosa has relied on innovative machine tool tech- nology from DMG MORI since 2012. The seven models installed have included a DMF 180|7 linear and an HSC 30 linear for the past two years, giving the company an addi- tional boost in 5-axis simultaneous machining. Turnover doubled in 10 years IMACOSA’S SUCCESS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COMPANY IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW WAYS TO MANUFACTURE In the past ten years alone, Macosa has prac- tically doubled its sales. Managing Director Arturo Trejo sees the reason for this in the good economic development of the automo- 30 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE tive industry in Mexico: “With high-quality products, especially made of copper alloys, we were able to establish ourselves in the industry as a reliable contract manufacturer. However, for this we also needed good and reliable machines.” This was the basis for the consistent further development of the com- pany. “Today, we see ourselves as a technology partner in automotive production. In close coordination with our customers, we design and build automated welding systems.” In addition, Macosa also manufactures impel- lers made of Inconel for energy technology. Macosa’s success is due to the fact that the company is always looking for new ways to manufacture. The best example is the focus on 5-axis technologies from DMG MORI – initially in 2016 with a DMU 50, and more recently with a DMF 180|7 linear and an HSC 30 linear. “Previously, we had already had good experience with a DuraVertical 635 eco and a DMC 1035 V eco,” Arturo Trejo recalls of the first models. “Since DMG MORI had pushed 5-axis machining early on, we were sure to find optimal solutions there.” Larger component spectrum and minimized throughput times The investment in 5-axis machines meant that Macosa was able to make its processes more efficient. “We were already very pro- ductive with the vertical machining centers, and two NLX turning centers have expanded our range of capabilities, but the 5-axis technology has opened up a completely new field for us,” says Arturo Trejo, assessing the benefits – favored by the broad-based machine park. While the dynamic DMU 50 processes smaller components with absolute reliability, the DMF 180|7 linear impresses with its large work envelope. 1,800 mm in the X axis pro- vide sufficient clearance. The versatility of 5-axis technology also allows significantly more complex geometries in just one setup, says Arturo Trejo. “In other words: We have significantly increased our range of compo- nents and at the same time have been able to drastically reduce throughput times.” The best example is the focus on 5-axis technologies from DMG MORI – initially in 2016 with a DMU 50, and more recently with a DMF 180|7 linear and an HSC 30 linear.

This is where integrated technology solutions are developed together with customers, effective automation processes for max- imum quality and autonomy are defined, and digitized processes are ensured. Rel- evant peripheral and technology accesso- ries from the DMG MORI Qualified Product Program (DMQP) are used in a targeted way. As a DMQP partner in the area of precision tools for micromachining, Mikron Tool makes repeated contributions to groundbreaking innovations. DMG MORI Medical Excellence Center and Mikron Tool Technology Center The application-specific technology solu- tions developed by the DMG MORI Medical Excellence Center primarily involve the realization of the most efficient production processes for the customer. This is why the Medical Excellence Center has been collab- orating with experts from the R&D depart- ment at the Mikron Tool Technology Center regarding tooling issues for more than six years. Production of the handle for biopsy forceps shows the importance of choosing the correct tool. The cycle time for machin- ing this stainless steel component (in this case 1.4021 / X20Cr13) was reduced by more than 40 percent using Mikron Tool tools on a DMP 70 – while adhering to all drawing toler- ances and providing excellent surface quality (Ra = 0.2 μm / Rz < 0.7 μm). Various milling cutters from the CrazyMill Cool series are responsible for saving time when producing this component. The special CrazyMill Cool Plunge & Slot high-perfor- mance cutter deserves special mention, as it combines drilling and milling and is char- acterized by having five times higher cutting 14 TIMES GREATER METAL REMOVAL RATE data and service life that is five times longer. The “Crazy” result: a metal removal rate that is up to 14 times higher than that of the mill- ing cutter previously used. 50 times more coolant – thanks to the unique cooling system A CrazyDrill SST-Inox IK with integrated cooling is used for drilling the hole in the lower area of the handle. Its geometry is Perfect Fit: Experts from the Mikron Tool Technology Center and the DMG MORI Medical Excellence Center. We implement integrated manufacturing strategies for our mutual customers.

In conjunction with the efficient chip evacuation, they are ideal for automated and reliable production, 24 / 7. Bernhard Lehr (left) and Andreas Müller Managing Director MS Powertrain Technologie GmbH DMG MORI supplied the DMU 65 H monoBLOCK with special workholding from a single source. MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY IN MASS PRODUCTION MS Powertrain Technologie GmbH has been a reliable manufacturer of precision components for vehicles, engines, trans- missions and machinery since 1965. Cus- tomers from Germany, Europe, Brazil and the USA, including those from the off-road and commercial vehicle industries, put their trust in the quality components. About 350 skilled staff currently ensure efficient pro- duction of small and large batches in a plant in Trossingen-Schura, which was opened in 2016. The new facility also has plenty of space for shop floor modernization, as demonstrated by the acquisition of a total of 24 DMU 65 H monoBLOCKs from DMG MORI, which machine rocker arms for engines fully automatically to high precision and cost-effectively, around the clock. with Andreas Müller. He points out the high degree of vertical integration: “Since we com- bine almost every stage of production under one roof, we can react with considerable flex- ibility at any time.” In addition to milling, the company’s manufacturing skills include deep hole drilling, thermal deburring, grinding and hardening. AUTOMATED SERIES PRODUCTION ON 24 DMU 65 H monoBLOCKs Holistic customer focus MS Powertrain regards itself as an all-round partner to its clients. “We support our cus- tomers with our know-how during the devel- opment phase if required,” explains Bernhard Lehr, who manages the company together 5-axis simultaneous machining for prototyping and small batch production The investment in DMG MORI machine tools took place in 2014. At that time, MS Powertrain shared a location in Spaichin- gen with its sister company MS Ultraschall Technologie GmbH. “Numerous machining centers and lathes from DMG MORI were already installed there, meaning that we knew about their reliability and perfor- mance,” reminisces Bernhard Lehr. The company purchased the first of its own machines specifically for producing proto- types and small batches. These included a DMU 95 monoBLOCK and a DMU 80 eVo for 5-axis simultaneous machining. DMG MORI: Wide range of products and future-oriented technology After good experience with the initial machines and with a view to winning a major new order from the commercial vehicle industry, MS Powertrain invested in machine tools from the technology leader again in 2020. “Due to the wide range of products and the focus on future topics such as digitiza- tion, DMG MORI can put together bespoke and, above all, innovative manufacturing solutions,” says Andreas Müller. 40 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

CUSTOMER STORY – CNC GRIESSHABER GROWTH THROUGH AUTOMATION MODERNIZATION INSTEAD OF EXPANSION For almost 30 years, CNC Grießhaber has proven to be a reliable manufacturing ser- vice provider for customers in the automo- tive, mechanical engineering and medical industries. One key focus of the three-mem- ber team is high-precision machining of components from aluminum pressure die and sand castings. To remain competitive in the long term in spite of the limited pro- duction space in the former garage, CNC Grießhaber regularly invests in the mod- ernization of their machinery – since 2018 in machine tools from DMG MORI. After the purchase of a CMX 70 U for 5-axis machining, a 4-axis DMP 70 with WH 3 CELL was added in 2021 and marked the start of around-the- clock automated manufacturing. Sand and pressure die cast aluminum workpieces from a batch size of 50 The daily challenge for CNC Grießhaber lies in winning orders that on one hand fill their production capacity and on the other are a right fit for their niche. “Over time, we have tended to specialize in machining aluminum pressure die castings and sand castings,” explains Florian Grießhaber, grandson of the company founder and managing director since 2014. Workpieces made of cast alumi- num are often quite unstable, making them difficult to machine. Another strength of CNC Grießhaber is the wide range of batch sizes. “We cover everything from small batch runs of 50 parts up to large series pro- duction involving 250,000 parts per year,” says Florian Grießhaber. DMP 70 with WH 3 Cell: Compact automation for economical series production One such large order involved manufacturing headlight components out of aluminum pres- sure die castings. It was a Europe-wide tender that CNC Grießhaber was able to win. “We needed a manufacturing solution to enable us to deliver 4,000 parts per week economically,” Florian Grießhaber remembers. “There was practically no way we could do this without an automated system.” As it was not possible to expand the production space, the automated machine needed to be as compact as possi- ble. In this case, the DMP 70 with WH 3 Cell with a footprint of just 8.8 m2 was the optimal solution. TURNKEY SOLUTION FOR 3-SHIFT OPERATION DMG MORI tailored the manufacturing solu- tion to the requirements of CNC Grießhaber and delivered everything from a single source. The result is a customized solution, as Florian Grießhaber explains: “The robot has a triple gripper so that we can clamp four parts at the same time. An alignment station pre- cisely positions the part and special work- holding has been installed in the machine.” The capacity of the parts storage in the WH 3 Cell was also maximized. “This means we can leave the machine to run unattended for up to 15 hours.” It also means that 3-shift operation is possible with practically no additional staff. Short cycle times with 2 g acceleration and 1.5 seconds tool change The DMP 70 is an extremely powerful, com- pact machining center in DMG MORI’s product range. The inline spindle is rated at 10,000 rpm and 78 Nm torque; 24,000 rpm and 52 Nm are optionally available. DMG MORI also offers a 5-axis version with swiveling rotary table in its product range. With the high volumes that CNC Grießhaber produces on Having to reliably pro- duce over 4,000 parts per week around the clock was one thing, but we had hardly any space. The DMP 70 with WH 3 Cell, which was specially adapted for us, was exactly the right solution as its footprint is less than 9 m2.

Flexible automation solutions for the future Heppler will continue to practice its mod- ernization philosophy when making future investments. “Growth of up to 15 percent in recent years has confirmed our decisions,” sums up Dieter Heppler. That is also why future purchases will be made with the same considerations in mind: “Innovative manufac- turing technology and flexible automation solutions play a central role in this.” A fourth NHX 5000, also with RPS 14, will be installed early in 2022. « Automated entry to 6-sided complete machining thanks to the B-axis and Robo2Go With the CLX 450 TC, DMG MORI has devel- oped a turn-mill center that offers its users affordable entry into 6-sided complete machining. “This favorably-priced machine concept was a convincing reason for the acquisition,” reflects Dieter Heppler. Since then, the CLX 450 TC has been responsible in particular for complex workpieces made of aluminum and stainless steel. “We also installed a Robo2Go from DMG MORI so that we could use the machine for unmanned third shifts overnight and at the weekend,” explains Dieter Heppler. In particular, smaller batch sizes can be processed completely autono- mously in this way. For larger series, work is limited to simply loading the Robo2Go. Heppler also found an efficient manufac- turing solution from DMG MORI’s product range for producing its wide range of hydrau- lic valve manifolds from stainless steel. The 50 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE team produces components in small and medium-sized batch on three NHX 5000 horizontal machining centers with RPS 14. “The setup of towers in parallel with pro- duction provides a real boost to productiv- NHX 5000 AND RPS 14: 14 PALLETS WITH TOWER LOADING ity,” says Dieter Heppler. With 14 positions for 500 × 500 mm pallets on two levels, it is possible to load numerous orders while the powerful machine continues to mill. Up to 60 m/min rapid traverse and 1.2 g acceleration speaks for itself. The compact design was another reason in favor of the automation solution with RPS 14: “The ratio of capacity to footprint is perfect for us.”

CUSTOMER STORY – MAYER PRÄZISION GMBH AUTOMATION AS A QUALITY FACTOR Mayer Präzision manufactures a wide range of jig and fixture components – from a single part to medium-sized batch runs. Training and reliable manufacturing processes as a success factor The fact that Mayer Präzision completes orders in such a solution-oriented and effi- cient manner is due, on one hand, to its experienced employees and well-trained junior staff. “We try to employ two appren- tices per year to cover our need for special- ist staff,” says Christoph Glier. On the other hand, the modern machines contribute to productivity – and to the quality of the jigs and fixtures. Ferdinand Urlbauer, plant man- ager at Mayer Präzision, adds: “Modern and flexible machine tools allow us to produce our wide range of parts and to always guar- antee the often high precision requirements.” DMG MORI has made a decisive contribution to this with stable machine tools and automa- tion solutions that ensure reliable processing. DMU 50 INCLUDING PH CELL WITH 40 PALLETS IN A FOOTPRINT LESS THAN 26 m2 Mayer Präzision installed one such automa- tion solution at the start of 2021 in the form of a DMU 50 3rd Generation and a PH Cell. “The combination unites machining flexibility and efficiency in one very compact footprint,” says Christoph Glier. This not only allows them to produce a very wide spectrum of compo- nents but also to fully utilize the capacity of the machine. The PH Cell has a modular At the beginning of 2021, Mayer Präzision invested in a DMU 50 3rd Generation and two CMX 600 Vs. Mayer Präzision GmbH has been regarded as a reliable manufacturing partner for jigs and fixtures for assembly work in the automotive industry for over 30 years. It is a subsidiary of ASD Maschinenbau GmbH since 2016 with a staff of 30 specialists who work at the com- pany headquarters on design and machining. Mayer Präzision has been relying on CNC technology from DMG MORI for its produc- tion for several years, as its latest acquisi- tions show. For the manufacturing service provider, two CMX 600 Vs, one with robotic automation and a DMU 50 3rd Generation with PH CELL are the entry into automated and thus more productive manufacturing. Complex jigs and fixtures within just a few weeks “As a service provider, we get involved in new projects for jigs and fixtures at a very early stage,” Christoph Glier, managing director of Mayer Präzision, explains the day-to-day business. As soon as an automobile manu- facturer produces a new model or even just a facelift to existing models, they need the cor- responding jigs and fixtures for the assem- bly process. The experienced team at Mayer Präzision provides support with the required expertise and manufactures the correspond- ing components. “We can deliver in just a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the jigs and fixtures.” 58 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

CUSTOMER STORY – TRÜTZSCHLER TEXTILE MACHINERY CO., LTD. FLEXIBLE AND ENERGY- EFFICIENT PRODUCTION OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE TEXTILE MACHINES Since 1888, the name Trützschler has stood for expertise in the preparation of textiles. The globally active group of companies founded Trützschler Textile Machinery (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in China in 2001. At the site, around 500 employees produce and assemble blow rooms, carding machines and draw frames, among other things. There has been close cooperation with DMG MORI from the start, resulting in the installation of ten machine tools from the technology leader, including two NHX 8000s, one with a CPP linear storage system for seven pallets. The latest acquisitions were an NHX 6300 and an NHX 5500, each equipped with a rotary pallet storage system for 12 and 21 pallets respectively. Increase in market share from 5 to 30 % Continuous growth of the textile industry is driving demand for high-performance, automated, intelligent textile machines. Trützschler knows the requirements of the local markets extremely well and aligns its development accordingly. The company is ensuring its own competitiveness and that of its customers by continuing to expand its range of products. Since 2001, Trützschler has been able to increase its market share from five to 30 percent in China, one of the largest textile markets worldwide. “In view of the continuous growth of Trützschler in the Chinese market and the positive outlook there, we need ever-increasing production capacity,” explains Yi Wu, head of production at Trützschler in Shanghai. Partnership and over 100 years of experience Due to the small batch sizes and diverse variations, textile machines cannot be manu- factured in standardized, large-scale produc- tion. That is precisely why Trützschler values flexible manufacturing processes. Harald Schoepp, managing director of Trützschler in China, considers DMG MORI to be the per- fect partner: “Their experts have fulfilled all our expectations and reliably supported us in the optimization of our production processes.” The cooperation benefits from over 100 years of experience and the similar business philosophies of both companies. Trützschler uses an NHX with a 7-station carrier pallet pool (CPP) for automated manufacturing of large components. 62 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

Since a U-axis is use- ful for certain turning operations on the valve housing, actuating tool specialist KOMET was involved in the planning at an early stage. During the production phase, DMG MORI was able to prepare the machine hardware for subsequent integration of the KOMET actu- ating tool . Sven Donner states: “For me, that was a prime example of how machine build- ers, tool manufacturers and end customers have to work together.” VETEC manufactured the first valve housing of nominal size DN500 from stainless steel (1.4408) on the NHX 8000 at the end of February 2020, i. e. from start to finish in a single clamping. « VETEC VENTILTECHNIK FACTS + Established in Speyer in 1900, the company has been a subsidiary of SAMSON AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT since 1988 + 130 employees + Development and production of rotary plug valves, pneumatic actuators and customized valves for industrial applications VETEC Ventiltechnik GmbH Siemensstraße 12 67346 Speyer, Germany vetec.samsongroup.com Among other things, VETEC manufactures rotary plug valves in nominal sizes of up to DN700 (ø 700 mm internal pipe diameter) for use in process or plant engineering, for example. With a maximum torque of 1,413 Nm, the powerMASTER spindle of the NHX 8000 is perfect for heavy-duty machining. 74 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE Integrated noise attenuator that minimizes control valve noise emission, which is normally caused by the free jet flowing through the vena contracta.

CUSTOMER STORY – KARL GEORG STAHLHERSTELLUNGS- UND VERARBEITUNGS GMBH “We benefit from the stability of the NLX mod- els for heavy-duty machining,” adds Andreas Löhmann. The compact design in relation to the 600 mm turning diameter in the larger model was also an argument in favor of using these machines. DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK – mill-turn complete machining Since 2021, Karl Georg has been using a DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK with a special chuck from Schunk for machining even bigger wheels up to ø 700 mm. “The technology inte- gration on the milling / turning center is a leap in innovation that allows us to completely machine large wheels,” explains Andreas Löhmann. The DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK also increases productivity because of its pallet changer: “Being able to set up while produc- tion is in progress increases the utilization of the machine considerably.” CTX beta 1250 TC with Robo2Go: Automated turn-mill machining of medium-size batches Karl Georg also achieves a high degree of machine utilization with an automated CTX beta 1250 TC. The turning-milling center was purchased for complete machining of series production parts. In this case, batch size is up to 20 parts. “An optimal volume for the Robo2Go,” thinks Philipp Hüsch. As the CTX beta 1250 TC operates autonomously for long periods, the operator can work in paral- lel on one of the NLX 4000 machines. Andreas Löhmann sees great potential in the auto- mation of manufacturing processes and in multi-machine operation: “We are increasing our capacity and working much more effi- ciently with this approach.” 78 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE Karl Georg uses WERKBLiQ and has networked the machines with the Digital Manufacturing Package in order to minimize downtime. DMG MORI technology cycles: Complete machining including turning, milling and gear cutting For complete machining, Karl Georg relies on turning and milling in a single clamping as well as on exclusive DMG MORI technology cycles for gear cutting. “We carry out hobbing on the CTX beta 1250 TC,” says Philipp Hüsch, quoting an example. gearSKIVING 2.0 is used on the DMC 80 FD duoBLOCK. “ We are cur- rently machining module 10 spur gears.” According to Andreas Löhmann, the com- pany wishes to continue developing the use of DMG MORI technology cycles. “The more process steps we implement on a machine, the more effective we become.” INTO THE FUTURE WITH INNOVATION Digital Manufacturing Package with NETservice: Short downtimes thanks to remote service A basic requirement for high utilization of production capacity is highly reliable machine tools on the shop floor. “We use the DMG MORI NETservice so we can transmit technical problems live to the DMG MORI Service which helps us to keep machine downtime as short as possible,” says Philipp Hüsch. Many of the downtimes that occur can be discussed and rectified over the phone using this remote solution, which DMG MORI provides as part of the Digital Manufacturing Package. Technology integration, automation solutions and digital processes – Karl Georg has found a way of making its production sustainable. Andreas Löhmann regards DMG MORI as an important partner: “The wide range of products, the automation solutions from a single source and the focus on further digital developments make us optimistic that we can continue to implement innovative man- ufacturing processes.” «
