Dies milled dry at high speeds
The new DMC 65 V vertical machining centre applies high-speed cutting, dry machining and universal application in die making and series production with high dynamics and precision.
CNC miller-drillers cut 20% off machining times
With the highly productive DMU 50 / 70 eVolution, DMG has added a new dimension to universal milling and drilling machines designed to save up to 20% on machining times.
The introductions include a 3D turning programmer and several service products to simplify communication and minimise downtime.
* DMG 3D Turning Programmer - up to 50% reduction on tool costs - developed specifically for DMG's automatic lathes, turning centres and multi-spindle autos, this Windows-based product allows the user to plan every production step in detail and, virtually at the touch of a button, generate the CNC programme and simulate the whole cycle in 3D.
Every machine and production detail is simulated including workpiece and tooling.

Gildemeister lathe programme covers all
The lathe programme run by the GILDEMEISTER group has now become so extensive that there really is no machining job any more that these machines cannot do.
Conventional lathe has digital drives
The world innovation - the NEF 320 K - a conventional lathe with navigator system rounds off successful NEF product line.
Bar feeder has high capacity
SACO's new bar feeder reduces idle times and offers high precision and flexibility. Idle time for bar feeding to the collet is considerably reduced.
When the programmer is satisfied with the outcome, the programme is then transferred for production.
This dry run eliminates possible collisions and costly programming errors and can reduce tooling costs by up to 50%.
DMG 3D Turning Programmer can be installed on an external PC or directly on the machine control.
* DMG Messenger - ensures optimum production 24 hours a day - this comprehensive monitoring and communication package provides SMS or e-mail notification of changes in the machine's operating status to ensure any malfunctions receive speedy attention.
DMG Messenger can be programmed to suit any machine set-up or range of operating sequences, providing permanent monitoring and a comprehensive log of all production data.
Long and 'lights-out' production benefits greatly from this technology, ensuring safe operation and minimised downtime.
* DMG Netservice - immediate analysis and support for technical problems - since its introduction, DMG Netservice has been instrumental in substantially reducing production losses and the latest generation of this software builds on this success.
Maximum data security is assured via ISDN or VPN Internet access.
Users can then interrogate the machine's controller to solve a wide range of problems online with the corresponding specialists in the DMG Service Team, just as though they were on site.
Application errors can be diagnosed or incorrect configurations analysed and the causes eliminated.
Also maintenance work can be scheduled or software updated.
The result is reduced service, personnel and travelling costs and high machine availability.
* DMG Service Agent - an intelligent early warning system - this new high-tech service tool for online and controller-based maintenance support is easy to operate and provides timely information on necessary maintenance tasks.
In this way problems can be fixed and wearing parts replaced during scheduled maintenance.
This saves the time, cost and capacity bottlenecks associated with unnecessary machine failures.
The system automatically generates job lists for the maintenance team and can, if required, e-mail requisitions for new parts.
The software can be installed either as a single user licence directly on the CNC controller or as a central network solution for up to 32 DMG machines.
