18 world premieres – name change to DMG MORI
At EMO 2013 in Hall 2, North Entrance, DMG Mori Seiki unveiled a new uniform design that demonstrates the company‘s consistently high quality standards. Visitors experienced the advantages of the new design on their high-tech machines, which excel through improved functionality, user-friendliness and value retention, the company notes.
The design features improved functionality for maximum view into the work area for greater control of the machining process and dismantling of the safety glass from the outside; value retention/long-life surfaces in a premium range for fine structure, resulting in greater scratch resistance and protection against damage.
18 world premieres
CELOS control interface, new machine livery and design, 18 world premieres and 95 high-tech exhibits across 10,237 m² underpinned DMG/Mori Seiki’s leading role in metalcutting machine tool manufacturing innovation.
All this was accompanied by the company’s comprehensive Life Cycle Services, including a number of efficient automation solutions, shown in action. In addition, there were focus areas for different industry sectors, including automotive, aerospace, medical and power engineering.
The CELOS control interface is said to simplify and accelerate the production process from idea to finished product. CELOS APPs enable integrated management, documentation and visualisation of job, process and machine data, and are compatible with production scheduling and enterprise resource planning systems, can be linked to CADCAM software and are open to future CELOS APP expansion.
There are also 12 CELOS APPs available. For example ‘Job Manager’ or ‘Job Assistance’ support the user with network-integrated planning, management preparation and systematic processing of jobs (including workpiece, equipment and NC program). CELOS is available with Siemens and Mitsubishi CNC, via the 21.5 inch ERGOline interface.
CELOS is, in fact, one element of the new DMG/Mori Seiki livery/machine design that was on show on 15 high-tech machines, which “excel through improved functionality, user-friendliness and value retention”. This also sees expression in improved functionality, such as maximum view into the work area for greater control of the machining process and the ability to dismantle safety glass from the outside.
User friendliness is enhanced by CELOS, an adjustable display and keyboard for an ergonomic work position and SMARTkey for personalised operator authorisation and customised access privileges for machine control. Promoting value retention are long-life surfaces with the premium range boasting greater scratch resistance and protection against damage.
New machine livery and design
And in addition to all of the technical features, in the future users will also be able to select DMG and Mori Seiki machines in black or white, at no additional cost.
