Digital Transformation (DX) – Generate competitive advantages

With "Machining Transformation (MX)", DMG MORI supports its customers in meeting the challenges associated with increasingly efficient and sustainable production. The three important pillars of Machining Transformation – process integration, automation, and digital transformation (DX) – have a significant influence on the green transformation (GX) as the fourth pillar.

The aim of digital transformation is to increase productivity in manufacturing companies and reduce energy consumption.

CELOS X – THE FUTURE-PROOF SOLUTION

Digital transformation (DX) uses intelligent technologies to optimize processes and thus acts as an "enabler" for the transformation of manufacturing. DMG MORI's digital ecosystem creates data transparency across the entire manufacturing process for knowledge-based decisions. The aim of digital transformation is to increase productivity in manufacturing companies and reduce energy consumption.

DX thus enables with the benefits of CELOS Xperience Easy Operation in process integration, ensures Extended Spindle Hours in automation and increases Energy Efficiency for the green transformation.

Easy Operation

5-axis simultaneous machining is commonplace in many manufacturing companies today. And necessary to survive in global competition. Machine operation is therefore becoming increasingly complex – and that with a high shortage of skilled workers.

CELOS Xperience offers a variety of workflows that make machine operation easier. These include effective operation through guided app-based workflows, an intuitive user interface and the highest ergonomic standards thanks to innovative operating elements.

For example, the operator can quickly and easily perform material and process-dependent calculations of speed, feed rate and spindle load. Predefined dimensions for fits and threads are already considered. This halves the time and effort required for technology calculations.

Inexperienced machine operators can be guided through complex clamping situations. These document-based operator guidance to reduce the susceptibility to errors when working on the machine increases the efficiency of work processes.

Fast & effective operation through guided workflows
Intuitive user interfaces, structured menus & comprehensible symbols
Ergonomics through innovative operating elements & new hardware design

Added Value

Faster programming
Reduction of errors
Increase in efficiency

Extended Spindle Hours

The shortage of skilled workers in manufacturing is also a noticeable obstacle in attempts to increase production. Investing in automation solutions can help to multiply spindle running time.

This requires high reliability and early detection of faults, which CELOS Xperience supports. This ensures the optimization and improvement of production and handling processes as well as the effective use of machine capacities.

Applications monitor vibrations during machining and visualize process values, warnings or limit value violations to protect the spindle and machine from damage caused by overload or collision.

Another example is the simple tool management on the machine with predictive tool provision based on the remaining tool life. This optimizes tool changes and reduces changeover times.

Furthermore, monitoring solutions enable a centralized view of the shop floor and rapid intervention in the event of unplanned downtimes.

Optimization of production & handling processes
More effective use of machine capacities
Increased machine productivity

Added Value

Optimized set-up processes
Shorter processing times
Increased machine availability

Energy Efficiency

Industrial emissions have remained largely constant at a high level for 15 years and account for around 25% of total German emissions. CO2 certificates provide a financial incentive to produce in a climate-friendly way. At the same time, the cost of industrial electricity has risen significantly in 2022.

Thanks to intelligent controls and sensors as well as adaptive machine kinematics through innovative software components, CELOS Xperience supports energy monitoring reduction. For example, it is possible to automatically switch off components of machines during idle times.

Real-time monitoring enables the automatic adjustment of energy requirements to machining processes.

The optimized air and coolant supply can also be regulated.

At the same time, the application ensures that a machine has gone through a warm-up phase at a defined time and is ready for immediate use.

Sustainable production thanks to intelligent controls & sensors
Adaptive machine kinematics through innovative software
Use of energy-efficient components

Added Value

Energy consumption monitoring
Automatic energy demand adjustment
Needs-based air, coolant & lubricant supply

ERGOline X

ERGOline X – Innovative control panels for every control type

ERGOline X is introduced with the launch of CELOS X. The successor to the ERGOline IV control panel offers the machine operator an even more intuitive user experience, with optimized ergonomics and functionality. The ERGOline X control panel gives the user access to CELOS Xperience and the native NC control.

When developing the new ERGOline X panels with a 24″ display, the focus was on the user experience and the ergonomic arrangement of operating elements.

Innovative operating elements, such as the SMARTkey and SMARTride, enable the highest safety standards and facilitate an easier handling of complex machine tools. The new SMARTride makes machine operation even safer, more efficient and ergonomic. Instead of the two rotary knobs, employees now control feed and rapid traverse using a single button with haptic feedback. This gives the operator a better ergonomic position in relation to the machine and allows them to focus on the workpiece or the infeed process.

The revised arrangement of the operating elements and the use of the latest touch technology make operation a real experience.
