DMG MORI’s Open House, that is held annually in Pfronten, Germany, was this year dedicated to the latest technologies for future-oriented production. The Open House, held for the 29th time, demonstrated solutions in the field of machine tool construction, with more than 45 high-tech machines and over 15 automation and technological solutions on display presenting the latest and most modern developments for sustainable process optimisation.
Highlights of the exhibition included the world premiere of DMF 400|11 as an example of process integration and the PH Cell 500 as an innovation in the field of modular pallet handling. Another highlight is CELOS X. The holistic digital and data-based ecosystem creates additional potential in the optimisation of manufacturing processes. The Lasertec Showroom completed the technological range of services with efficient products for additive manufacturing, while the Academy Area offered insights into DMG MORI’s extensive training and further education programme.
MX – Machining Transformation: Sustainable process optimisation for future-proof manufacturing
“The Home of Innovation is based on the four pillars of Process Integration, Automation, Digital Transformation (DX) and Green Transformation (GX),” said Irene Bader, a Member of the Board of DMG MORI Company Limited.
“These pillars form the foundation for Machining Transformation (MX), with which we support our customers on their way to future-oriented production. The overarching goal is to make manufacturing processes more efficient and sustainable, to ensure customers remain globally competitive and successful in the long term.”
“Process integration reduces cycle times and set-ups by combining more and more technologies in one workspace. In Pfronten, DMG MORI demonstrated how turning, milling, grinding and gear cutting can be carried out in a single set-up, as well as in-process measuring for consistent quality control. Productivity-enhancing and flexible automation solutions, both for series production and machining of small batch sizes, were on display as well.”
“DMG MORI also demonstrated solutions for Digital Transformation (DX). They provide additional support for process optimisation – from order planning and programming to quality control and documentation. Against the backdrop of resource scarcity and climate protection targets, these three pillars contribute to the fourth, Green Transformation (GX).”
“Energy-saving measures of more than 30 per cent, the retrofitting of automation solutions and machine overhauls create new potential for increasing productivity while conserving resources.”
