EMO Hannover 2011 fuels new business prospects

In the ongoing cyclical boom phase of the world's metalworking industry, the exhibitors at the EMO Hannover 2011 from 19 to 24 September showcased field-proven machinery concepts and innovative new products. International Metalworking News for Asia was fortunate to witness the newest developments from around the world. It clearly showed that the market is picking up and sales are
increasing worldwide. People from every nation were gathered, a lot of German visitors, but also delegations from Russia, India and other countries.

"This EMO was a winner in every respect and has earned top marks from visitors and exhibitors alike. EMO Hannover has further expanded its reputation as the flagship fair for the international metalworking industry," remarked EMO Hannover General Commissioner Dr. Detlev Elsinghorst at the end of the fair."The machine tool industry continues in full swing. In the course of the past six days, the order volume reached a minimum of EUR 4.5 billion," added Dr. Wilfried Sch?fer, Executive Director of the German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW), the organizer of the event. "Against the backdrop of an upswing in orders over the past few months, EMO's positive outcome means an even stronger market footing for exhibitors," concluded Sch?fer.

Staged under the motto of "Machine Tools & More", the sixday event in Hannover featured the latest machinery, solutions and services for every conceivable aspect of metalworking - a veritable tour de force by some 2,037 exhibitors from 41 different nations."EMO has confirmed its international reputation as an unparalleled showcase for innovations.

Technologies at a glance

Walter AG presented its XD70 technology - extremely precise in one operation up to 70 x Dc. Deep holes in one drilling operation in machining like this, the XD drills from the Walter Titex brand
are unbeatable. XD stands for "extremely deep" - without the need for pecking. This characteristic is more appropriate than ever, because this tool type can now reach a drilling depth of 70 x Dc.
That is a world record. Despite reaching some truly impressive depths, the drill does not need a special cooling unit, with a standard cooling system such as those used by many a machining center all that is required. Initially, XD70 technology is being offered in the form of special tools with diameters of five to twelve millimeters. Depending on the material being machined, the tools can be supplied with TTP tip coating for steels or XPL tip coating for cast iron materials.

Two new Duratomic-coated turning grades are the TK1001 and TK2001. These are the latest additions to Seco's well established and extremely popular Duratomic family of turning and milling insert grades. Additionally, there will be a large offering of geometries and chipbreakers designed for the ISO K10-K20 range of cast materials, such as grey and ductile irons. Extremely reliable
and versatile, these grades offer better wear resistance, allowing for higher cutting speeds and improved productivity.
