EDITORIAL But these arguments are not new … Dr. Masahiko Mori: New is that we have democratized automation so to speak, with massive investments and innovations over the last few years. Flexible manufacturing cells and manufacturing systems have now become economically viable for companies of all sizes. Today a unique range of modular equipment puts DMG MORI in a position to perfectly map the entire spectrum of flexible automated production from a single source – from simple to complex, for work- pieces, pallets and tools as well as from large series to single part production. Christian Thönes: Our innovative automation portfolio comprises in total 57 automation solutions in 13 production lines for machine- specific, universal and scalable solutions – including the entire hardware and software. We thereby can already equip or upgrade more than 150 different machine models for our customers, often even as a retrofit option. The levels of our automation offer range from machines with tool and pallet change, through flexible manufacturing cells to automatic tool provision and from driverless transport vehicles to different turnkey expansion stages of flexible manu- facturing systems. Dr. Masahiko Mori: Another basic topic is the extensive central control computer techno- logy. The new CELL CONTROLLER LPS 4 is not only able to integrate all single machines, but also manufacturing cells and manufacturing systems on the shopfloor to a flexible manufacturing network. Moreover, the intelligent new development can, where necessary, also control the automatic pro- vision of material, tools and operating resources. Integration to ERP, MES or APS systems and tool management is also reliably solved by means of adequate interfaces. Customers thus receive their entire tailor- made system consisting of high-tech machines, automation plus control intelli- gence and central control computer techno- logy from a single source and under a single responsibility. This gains in importance the higher the degree of automation, a fact reflected in our sales success. In the past few months we managed to place dozens of systems with a Linear Pallet Pool (LPP) and systems from the MATRIS building blocks successfully on the market. In addition, there are several hundred Robo2Go and PH Cell solutions – plus the standard auto- mation solutions. What innovative highlights can visitors at the international DMG MORI fall trade fairs expect? Dr. Masahiko Mori: We are currently expanding the successful series of Robo2Go models for turning and milling to include the Robo2Go Max as a solution for workpieces up to 115 kg and small until medium batch sizes. This model can also be prepared for its tasks quickly and simply directly from the CELOS control without any programming knowledge. In addition we are expanding the Matris family for modular entry into the world of manufacturing automation with the highly flexible and compact MATRIS Light for workpieces up to 5 kg. The handling system can be connected to the machine in less than 5 minutes, operated intuitively and, as a collaborating robot solution, needs no safety fence. For entry into automatic pallet handling, DMG MORI will also present the PH 50, an entry model that is both compact and economical. In the medium range, the PH Cell 300 offers space for up to 40 pallets of varying sizes of 320 × 320, 400 × 400 and 500 × 500 mm for transfer weights up to 300 kg on a footprint of just 10.7 m2. And finally, the PH Cell 2000 expands the port- folio with the flexible handling of work- pieces up to 2,000 kg on 21 pallets. The democratization of manufacturing has been DMG MORI's focus for years, so today automation is accessible and economical for companies of all sizes. Dr. Eng.

EDITORIAL DIGITIZATION DIGITAL TWIN 1. PLANNING 2. PREPARATION 3. PRODUCTION 4. MONITORING 5. SERVICE 62 Technology Cycles 27 CELOS APPs DMG MORI's connectivity solutions open up a holistic portfolio of digital tools and applications for the immediate workshop environment. This portfolio of digital end-to-end solutions supports our customers from planning with ISTOS, through work preparation and production, to the optimization of maintenance and service processes, for example with my DMG MORI. … which according to the studies comes at the expense of digitization! Dr. Masahiko Mori: The value of digital products and services is not measured on the basis of visions but by predictable customer benefits. Wherever this is the case, digitization will take place. This is proven by the enormous acceptance of our customer portal my DMG MORI, where al- ready today more than 30,000 customers with over 140,000 machines are connected to our service organization. As a result, we already receive 67 percent of all service ueries via the customer portal. To what do you ascribe the success of the customer portal? Christian Thönes: my DMG MORI quite simply makes digitization worthwhile. We use it to offer our customers direct access to all relevant production and service information. In addition we open up a direct digital communication channel for them in our worldwide service organization, which we are currently expanding to include another 100 service technicians. All these digital and real measures accelerate the processes holistically and convincingly enhance the service quality. Meanwhile, the term “triad” referred to at the beginning can also be found in the sustainability offensive from DMG MORI. What elements interact here? Dr. Masahiko Mori: In this case the triad reflects the holistic nature of our climate measures. By avoiding, reducing and com- pensating, DMG MORI has achieved both a CO2-neutral “Company Carbon Footprint” and a climate-neutral “Product Carbon Footprint”. This includes direct and indirect emissions from our own value creation as well as indirect emissions from upstream processes along the supply chain. Energy experts refer here to scope 1, 2 and 3 upstream. Christian Thönes: More specifically, all machines delivered since January 2021 have been produced completely climate-neutral. For this, DMG MORI was recently awarded the Platinum Medal in the Sustainability Rating by the internationally renowned institute EcoVadis. This means that we are among the TOP 1 % of over 35,000 companies evaluated worldwide. 6 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

KG was founded in 2014 in Rahden as an engineering company. In it has established itself as a reliable service provider for manufacturing blow molds, casting molds and extrusion tools as well as for assembly and measuring devices, prototype construction and small special- purpose machines. International customers, particularly from the automotive industry, chemical industry and heating engineering put their trust in the expertise of the almost 30-strong team. A high-performance array of machines is a part of the total range of services and includes new machining centers and from DMG MORI. The machine tool manufacturer had already provided considerable support during the founding of the company by offering attractive financing solutions from DMG MORI Finance. The latest investment was a DMU 60 eVo linear, which was retrofitted with a PH Cell 300 to ensure that Hintersdorf can continue to produce even more efficiently – around the clock. turning machines Integral range of services “After founding the engineering company, it quickly became clear to us that an on-site manufacturing facility would be the perfect complement to these services,” says Holger Hintersdorf looking back at his company’s first year. As a toolmaker with specialist training as a mechanical engineering technician, the experienced designer reco- gnized that an integral range of services would be more flexible and would also deliver the best quality at all times. “Existing colleagues were won over by the idea and put all their support behind my team.” Skilled specialists as the backbone of success Holger Hintersdorf still considers skilled engineers to be the backbone of the company: “We have toolmakers that are not responsible for machining but instead understand every detail of the complicated design and who also assemble the tools themselves.” The team is thus able to work extremely independently and over and again contribute ideas for optimization. Holger Hintersdorf maintains the high level of manufacturing with an in-house training program, but has also noticed that skilled staff and trainees are getting harder to find: “This is the reason we need to continuously optimize our manufacturing strategies to remain competitive.” This begins with the development and design of new tools. “Our customers ask us to get involved very early on in the process to ensure we can find the best possible solutions,” according to Holger Hintersdorf. Sophisticated jigs are used to make machining more efficient during the manufacturing process. Hintersdorf has already invested in nine machining centers and turning machines from DMG MORI with the support of DMG MORI Finance.

CUSTOMER STORY – FR. AUSSIEKER METALLVERARBEITUNG GMBH & CO. KG CAPACITY PLUS THANKS TO AUTOMATION The company Aussieker Metallverarbeitung GmbH & Co. KG from Preußisch Oldendorf was founded in 1969 as a classic subcontract manufacturer. Right up to the present day, customers in the general machine and plant engineering sector and the medical industry place their trust in the competence of the 30-strong team. For producing its high quality workpieces, Aussieker uses modern machine tool among which since 2019 are four models from DMG MORI – including two automated machines: a DMU 50 with PH 150 and a DMU 95 monoBLOCK with PH Cell 300. Combating the skills shortage with automation “The challenge we face has always been to produce complex and high-precision work- pieces as economically as possible”, explains Frank Aussieker. He has led the company of the same name as the second generation Managing Director since 2003. Production requires both modern CNC technology and well-trained engineers. Although Aussieker trains its own future employees in-house, it nevertheless recognises how it is becoming ever more difficult to find good staff. “This makes it difficult to fulfil a healthy order book over the long term – in particular when we sometimes have to work three shifts.” In view of the growing lack of skilled staff, the company decided to invest in an Prototypes and small series are part of our daily business.

The entire system of 18 machines manufactures reliably and safely to an accuracy of ± 0.01 mm. Mike Latwesen, Plant Manager (left) Chris Pegelow , Engineering Manager (middle) Dan Woyak, Project Manager (right) at Grede in Menomonee Falls FULLY AUTOMATIC, SAFE AND PRECISE Grede Holdings LLC has its origins in a foundry established in 1920 in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Today, with 3,000 employees at ten locations in North America, the company is one of the leading experts in the field of metal casting. As a first-tier supplier to the automotive and commercial vehicle industry, Grede manufactures safety-critical compo- nents for the powertrain or chassis, among others. For this purpose, the team has more than 40 machining centers and lathes from DMG MORI at its disposal. 24 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE At its machining and assembly facility in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, the machine tool manufacturer optimized the production of steering knuckles in 2019. The result is impressive: Over 650,000 steering knuckles are produced per year in a fully automated production line comprising 18 NHX 5500s. Holistic manufacturing from casting to ready-to-install component “As a full-service provider, we cover the entire process chain from design and cast- ing to final machining and quality control,” explains Mike Latwesen, General Manager at Grede in Menomonee Falls.

Ten robots load and unload the machines with heavy knuckle parts. This removes the risk of injury to the operators, while ensuring the machines are always supplied with raw parts. The operator loads the raw parts at one loca- tion and the intelligent parts conveyor trans- ports them to all 18 machines. The DMG MORI Messenger monitoring software allows status monitoring of the machines, which enables the operators to address issues such as tool change in a timely manner. “After the steering knuckles have passed through the production line, only final quality control follows,” adds Mike Latwesen. The fully automated process naturally requires absolute reliability – one reason for acquisition of horizontal machin- ing centers: “Efficient chip evacuation makes the NHX 5500 an ideal machine tool for such The same applies to the powerMASTER spin- dles, on which DMG MORI offers a 36-month warranty with no hourly limit, thanks to their robust design.

CUSTOMER STORY – SPECK PUMPEN WALTER SPECK GMBH & CO. KG INVESTMENT & INNOVATION – AUTOMATION & COMPLETE MACHINING The history of SPECK Pumpen Walter Speck GmbH & Co. KG from Roth goes back to the year 1909. At that time – still located in Nuremberg, Daniel Speck started man- ufacturing piston pumps. With over 600 employees worldwide, the SPECK Group is an internationally successful company that produces its extensive and highly individual range of pumps for customers in every conceivable sector. SPECK has been work- ing with CNC technology from DMG MORI for decades. There are around 75 machines in operation alone in Roth, with twelve more used in its Chinese facility. What all models have in common: They are among the most modern machines that DMG MORI has on offer – as are the most recently acquired DMC 65 H monoBLOCKs – one with an RPS 12 pallet changer, the other with amill-turn table. Solutions and further developments tailored to customer needs A strong customer focus, high levels of expertise and the development of cus- tomized solutions have always set SPECK apart. Orders come from a diverse range of industries and from a multitude of customers. “Our specialized products are principally used in the medical, chemical and pharma- ceutical industries, in cooling and tempering appliances and in the plastics industry”, says Dr. Thomas Krüger, Member of the Manage- ment Board, giving us an impression of the product portfolio. Its customized orientation has resulted in the consistent expansion of a wide range of variants, which continue to gain in importance. 1 2 1.

NEW: PALLET HANDLING BY MATRIS With MATRIS, we offer our customers easy-to-use automation, including secondary processes such as measuring and labeling. What is completely new is that MATRIS can now also be used for pallet handling. Mr. Satoru Kashiwagi General Manager of Technical Sales Department DMG MORI CO., LTD. MATRIS Flexible modular robot system for ≥ 1 machine With innovative developments, DMG MORI has been a pioneer in the automation of machine tools for many years. Its products include highly flexible automation solu- tions such as the modular MATRIS. Satoru Kashiwagi, General Manager of Technical Sales Department at DMG MORI CO., LTD. talks about the versatile robot system in an interview. Mr. Kashiwagi, what prompted you to develop MATRIS*? As the demand for simple robotic automa- tion grew stronger, we needed to create an offering that would allow us to meet our customers' needs quickly and with the high quality they have come to expect. That's why we started standardizing our robot systems in 2016. This has resulted in MATRIS. It is an automated handling system consisting of standardized units and devices. What are the components of MATRIS? The core of MATRIS is a robot, which brings the workpieces into the working area of the machine tool. It is installed on the side of the machine. Peripheral devices can be placed around it to enable further functions – from tool storage and a turnover station to cleaning and tactile or visual measurement. Here, we use only carefully selected products certified by DMG MORI that work reliably. What are the features of the system? Each unit of MATRIS is modular and avail- able in a standardized size of 710 × 710 mm per module. » HIGHLIGHTS + Modular concept with standardized peripheral devices, e. g. washing, measuring or marking + 80 % shorter setup time due to modular, standardized peripherals and robot programs + Flexible adaptation to system changes after installation + Simple and easy operation via the MATRIS controller *MATRIS = MODULAR AUTOMATION TRANSFER ROBOT INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM 36 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE Up to 2 machines in one system

The layout is also completely reconfigurable, allowing flexible response to changes in the range of com- ponents. In addition, the communication format of each unit is standardized, sup- porting Ethernet IP and PROFIBUS. This allows MATRIS to significantly increase setup speed. What about the software? We have developed our own control system to standardize the operation of each robot. The MATRIS controller is connected to the machine tool, the robot and the peripheral devices. In this way, we realize complete control of the entire MATRIS system. The user interface is adapted to that of CELOS, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. In addition, the robot programs and motion sequences (teaching) are already predefined. Whereas previously it was necessary to read and understand complex robot programs, the MATRIS controller uses an intuitive and interactive processing method. What benefits does MATRIS offer you? Typical system packages are available in advance. This means that we can quickly cre- ate layouts based on these packages. Con- sequently, we achieve fast implementation in a short turnaround time. Another advantage of MATRIS is the reduced installation time. Whereas it used to take ten days to install a system, today we only need one to two days. System changes after delivery are also

Today, Nabeya continues this tradition, employs around 200 people and dedicates itself to technological innovation. The company uses cutting-edge technology from DMG MORI to manufacture vibration isolators for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and surface plates for precision testing under the widely distributed ERON brand. The design, machining, assembly and inspection of these industrial components are carried out in-house. The combination of Nabeya fixtures and 5-axis machining on the DMU 50 3rd Generation enables different workpieces to be clamped and machined on one pallet or clamping fixture. 40 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

Use of their own clamping materials What makes this automation system so unique is the use of Nabeya's own fixtures, base elements, pallets and robot grippers. Their fixtures make it possible to clamp more than eight workpieces on one base plate, which can be automatically machined and measured on all sides in the 5-axis machine without retooling. The introduction of this automation solution in combination with in-house products enabled Nabeya to automate its varied production of small batch sizes and achieve highly precise, unmanned production during the night. Increased productivity thanks to unmanned night shifts “The work that used to take four people can today be done by just one operator. We only need to set up the workpieces during the day and the system automatically takes care of the rest during the night. All the workpieces are finished by the time we arrive at the factory in the morning. This means that our productivity has been considerably increased and it is much easier to plan our manufacturing,” says Factory Director Tomoaki Masuda.

CUSTOMER STORY – SANDVIK COROMANT HOLISTIC AUTOMATION Founded in Sandviken, Sweden, in 1942, Sandvik Coromant has become a global industry leader in tool manufacturing with over 8,000 employees worldwide. Customers from a wide range of industries – including aerospace, Automotive and oil & gas – rely on Sandvik Coromant solutions. The tool experts have a long-standing strategic partnership with DMG MORI, from which innovative machining solutions continue to emerge. Sandvik Coromant also benefits from these in its own production. For exam- ple, two NTX 2000s were installed at the Gimo plant in 2021, each of which operates fully automatically with a MATRIS. The robot handles both the loading of workpieces and the exchange of fixtures and tools. DEVELOPMENT OF 2,500 NEW PRODUCTS PER YEAR “As a market leader, we are required to meet the extremely high expectations of our customers in terms of innovation and quality,” says Philip Eriksson, project manager at Sandvik Coromant, explaining the company’s dependence on development and production. “Gimo is part of our Production Technology Center and is responsible for industrializing 2,500 new products per year.” He says this is done in close cooperation with the R & D departments in Sandviken and Stockholm. » 44 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE 2 1 At the Gimo plant, DMG MORI 2021 has installed two NTX 2000s, each fully automated with a MATRIS. 1.

This is nec- essary due to the large number of different bodies produced. Competitive thanks to automated manufacturing The realization of new products also includes their manufacture. “We need highly efficient technology in order to be able to offer our tools competitively,” explains Peter Andersén, responsible for Global Manufacturing Equip- ment at Sandvik Coromant. For this reason, he says, the company has been using auto- mated manufacturing processes in end-to- end digitalized production for decades. “Even our NC programs for the production of tool bodies are created automatically in Gimo and are new for each order.” The factory received 'lighthouse' recognition by the World Eco- nomic Forums in 2019, he said.

INTERVIEW – AGV / AMR PH-AGV PALLET AUTOMATION → more on page 52 WH-AMR WORKPIECE AUTOMATION → more on page 54 TH-AGV TOOL HANDLING → more on page 58 50 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE HOLISTIC AUTOMATION ON THE SHOP FLOOR Within the context of manufacturing pro- cesses, which are becoming increasingly automated, more and more driverless transport systems, so-called Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), are taking over the shop floor. DMG MORI supports its customers in this area with products in its AGV portfolio. The vehicles collaborate with people in one working environment to transport workpieces, pallets or tools from external storage loca-tions to the machines. The layout of this modular concept can be freely designed and quickly adapted to changing production environments if necessary. Michael Trenkle, Head of Special Construction at DMG MORI and Hideki Nagasue in the AMR Development Office at DMG MORI discuss how WH-AMR, PH-AGV and TH-AGV contribute to process automation and digitization of production. Mr. Trenkle, Mr. Nagasue, DMG MORI is regarded as a pioneer in automated production. You have also been concentrating on processes outside the machine tool since last year with the introduction of automated guided vehicle systems. What was the reason for this? Michael Trenkle: DMG MORI takes a holistic view of the subject of automation. Autono- mous production on machines is only a part of the overall picture. The demand for flexible processes is increasing at the same time. This means that a wide range of workpieces, pallets and tools have to be stocked in large quantities. Many machines do not have the necessary capacity, meaning that external storage has to be installed. We provide economical decoupling of the machine from the workpiece, pallet or tool storage with our automated guided vehicle systems. Hideki Nagasue: The AGVs from DMG MORI drastically reduce the use of manual pallet trucks and forklifts. This gives engineers time to concentrate on demanding tasks such as planning and programming. DMG MORI started with the PH-AGV. When is it advisable to use autonomous pallet handling systems? Michael Trenkle: The modular concept of the PH-AGV makes it possible to have a flexible layout design, which is an advantage in situations where there is not enough room for a system consisting of a machine and a pallet store, for example. The pallet rack of the PH-AGV is also to extend at a later date. and additional machines may be integrated. The machine also remains completely accessible to operators. Pallet sizes up to 1,600 × 1,250 mm and with a total weight of up to 5,000 kg also guarantee that a wide range of components can be handled. Material pallets can also be transported. However, the speed must be taken into consideration. Classic linear pallet storage (LPP) has clear advantages in this case. With the LPP, cycle times should be more than 5 minutes. With the PH-AGV it is at least 20 minutes. Hideki Nagasue: Production is similarly made more flexible when the TH-AGV assists in tool management. The TH-AGV can transport up to 16 tools, each with a maximum weight of 30 kg. It has an interface to the tool loading station of the DMG MORI wheel magazine and is supplied with tools via a central tool store (CTS, see page 58). The WH-AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) differs from these two AGVs in that it has a robot which clamps workpieces in a machine. This process is significantly more complex than simply loading pallets or tools. Hideki Nagasue: That is correct. Workpiece clamping in particular requires technologies which are significantly more precise. For workpiece handling we have combined the principle of the AGV with a collaborative robot, which transports the workpieces into and out of the machine. The robot of the WH-AMR has an optical system with a positioning accuracy of ± 1 mm, which permits loading with sufficient precision into any fixture. We have standardized the WH-AMR to such an extent that it can interact with any machine on the shop floor. AMR is able to travel autonomously and reroute itself when an obstacle blocks its path. It is so flexible that deployment in production environments

PALLET HANDLING – PH-AGV 5000 PH-AGV AUTONOMOUS PALLET HANDLING UP TO 5,000 kg DMG MORI has already presented the first AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) solution for pallet handling (PH) at EMO in Hanover in 2019. The PH-AGV automated guided vehicles move autonomously and collaboratively with people on the shopfloor and transport pal- lets from external storage facilities to the machines. They ensure even more flexible production processes with unrestricted machine accessibility at the same time. Thanks to its free layout design and simple expandability, the AGV system can also be effortlessly integrated into existing produc- tion areas and quickly adapted to a changed production environment if required. NEW is the PH-AGV 5000 for pallet sizes up to 1,600 × 1,400 mm and 5,000 kg handling weight. “The automation solution enables maximum flexibility through free accessi- bility to the machines and freely program- mable travel paths for the handling unit”, says Cornelius Nöß, Managing Director at DECKEL MAHO in Pfronten. The configura- tion of the pallet rack and the set-up stations is modular. “The number and positioning can thus be completely adapted to suit the specific requirements of the customers.” The control and the management of the system is taken on by the DMG MORI CELL CONTROLLER LPS 4, which optimizes all processes in production. « PH-AGV 5000 for pallet sizes up to 1,600 × 1,400 mm and 5,000 kg handling weight. 52 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

CUSTOMER STORY – KIGUCHI TECHNICS INC. Metal inspection specialists – more demanding tasks through automation Since then, KIGUCHI TECHNICS has consist- ently refined its expertise in metal inspection. Today, the company has an integrated sys- tem to perform everything from making test specimens to testing and evaluating them in-house – primarily in the aerospace, auto- motive, energy and medical sectors. As part of its 60th anniversary celebration, KIGUCHI TECHNICS has been working for two years to automate test specimen machining. Tat- suya Kanou, head of the production depart- ment responsible for this anniversary project, recalls, “We aimed to eliminate human error and increase productivity. At the same time, we wanted to use automation to reform our work processes so that our employees could concentrate on more demanding tasks.” HIGH-MIX, LOW-VOLUME PRODUCTION KIGUCHI TECHNICS' testing business is characterized by high-mix, low-volume pro- duction. The company cuts the materials received from customers, machines them into the optimum shape for testing and performs strength and fatigue tests. Finally, KIGUCHI TECHNICS provides the test data. The iron, stainless steel, aluminum or tita- nium test specimens each have to be molded into dozens of shapes. “Sometimes engines that have broken down due to metal fatigue are brought to us as they are,” Tatsuya Kanou said. “Our job then is to process such ‘irre- placeable specimens’ flawlessly and with the highest precision.” DMG MORI excels with autonomous and collaborative automation concept After evaluating several suppliers for the plan- ned automation solution, KIGUCHI TECHNICS opted for the concept from DMG MORI. The innovation leader combined two NTX 1000 2nd Generation – compact turn & mill centers – with an autonomous transport system, the WH-AGV 5*, enabling linkage to the pallet warehouse. The WH-AGV 5* takes the work- piece from the warehouse and trans-ports it to the two NTX 1000 2nd Generation.

RELIABLE GRINDING THANKS TO INTEGRATED MEASUREMENTS The internal measurements are the reason why the grinding process is so reliable. “The machine analyses the measurement data and calibrates the tools automatically,” Matthias Müller explains. In addition, there is always a sister tool in the tool magazine, which has 123 positions. Another feature is setup in parallel with production by means of a pallet changer. To all intents and purposes, idle times are a thing of the past.”

CUSTOMER STORY – NEHER GROUP PCD TOOLS FOR E-MOBILITY APPLICATIONS At the NEHER GROUP in Ostrach, which was established in 1990, 110 experienced engineers develop and manufacture high- quality special tools for metalworking and woodworking, as well as molds, gages and other devices. The company's customers come mainly from the automotive industry, the aerospace industry and general mechanical and plant engineering. A special focus is currently on electromobility applications, which repeatedly present the team with new challenges. The NEHER GROUP has been implementing its production for many years using innovative manufacturing technolo- gies from DMG MORI – from demanding machining and additive manufacturing on LASERTEC SLM machines to cutting blanks on a LASERTEC 20 FineCutting machine to automated processing on machines from the LASERTEC PrecisionTool series. Customized PCD and CVD tools for e-mobility “Our core competence lies in the complete development of sophisticated PCD or CVD special tools,” explains Gerd Neher, who is the second generation to manage the NEHER GROUP. Polycrystalline diamond is a very hard cutting material which gives tools a long service life. “If a customer wants to manufacture a specific component, we implement the optimum tool for precisely that application.” A sector which is rapidly expanding is special tools for electromobility applications. The precision machining of a stator housing, i. e. the housing in which the rotor of the electric motor rotates, requires comparatively long and therefore heavy tools. “The weight is too much to ensure low-vibration and precise machining for numerous existing machines in the way that the cutters are normally used,” says Tobias Niess, who is responsible for developing the tools, describing the challenge. The weight can be reduced in two ways: “By using lighter materials such as titanium and new production methods, but above all with the aid of innovative manufacturing technologies from DMG MORI.” E-MOBILITY: GREEN TECHNOLOGY WITH NEW CHALLENGES FOR TOOL DESIGN LASERTEC SLM: bionic structures using powder bed AM One such technology is additive manufac- turing.

LASERTEC Precision Tool: Precision cutting edge machining The cutting segments of the tools are first cut out of PCD or CVD blanks and are then brazed on. The NEHER GROUP uses a LASERTEC 20 FineCutting from DMG MORI for cutting. “The laser penetrates through blanks up to 3.8 mm thick,” says Tobias Niess. The diamond tools get their final “finishing touch” in the form of laser finish-ing. A LASERTEC 20 PrecisionTool and a LASERTEC 50 PrecisionTool from DMG MORI are used in this case. The two 5-axis pre-cision laser machines can economically produce 1 µm sharp cutting edges, defined cutting edge 1 µm SHARP CUTTING EDGES radii of 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15 µm and also negative chamfers.

High-quality repairs using laser deposition welding and 5-axis machining in one clamping With products for the powder bed process and laser deposition welding, DMG MORI is considered to be a comprehensive provider of additive manufacturing machines. “We were able to integrate both technologies into our processes perfectly,” says Dr. Hartmut Frerichs. W. Doose now uses both a LASERTEC 125 DED hybrid as well as two LASERTEC 30 DUAL SLMs Thanks to its hybrid functionality, the former really shows its strengths especially when it comes to the repair of tool components, says Jens Retzlaff, plant manager at W. Doose: “Worn areas can be built up with the powder nozzle, which can be combined with 5-axis milling in the same setup, so that the original condition can be restored.” This process is considerably less expensive and more precise than manual welding with subsequent machining. The service life of the repaired mold is also increased 3-fold by the new process.
