By OEM Update Editorial September 11, 2017 12:55 pm IST

Plans digitisation, automation, additive manufacturing, technology excellence and 8 world premieres

DMG MORI will present itself as the leading competence partner for metal cutting production and digitisation on around 10,000 square metres in Hall 2 at the EMO 2017 in Hannover. Taking the “Path of Digitization” as its guiding principal, the company points the way to the future of the “Digital Factory” with numerous software and data-based products and services.

Continued priority is also given to the automation of the machine tools and turnkey solutions. The same applies to Additive Manufacturing, where DMG MORI offers continuous process chains with powder nozzle and powder bed technology. In its dedicated DMG MORI Technology Excellence Centers DMG MORI demonstrates its EMO branch solutions. By integrating customers in the joint process development at a very early stage DMG MORI offers customised complete technical solutions in the aerospace, automotive, die & mould and medical sectors.

The eight world premieres include the CTX 2500/700 as the prelude to the fifth generation of this successful series and the NTX 2500 as another new turn-mill centre. The CLX 550 expands the range of European universal turning centres. The third generation CTV 250 rounds off the program in vertical turning, while a new concept for the multi-spindle automatic turning centre is presented with the MULTISPRINT 25 and the MULTISPRINT 36.Where milling is concerned DMG MORI has expanded its portfolio with the two large machines DMU 200 Gantry and DMU 340 Gantry and the second generation of the NHX 6300 horizontal machining centre.

DMG MORI brings digital factory to the EMO
The digital change is also taking place in machine tool construction with increasing momentum. With CELOS and the “Path of Digitization” DMG MORI pursues a consistent strategy – starting with the CELOS Machine and on to CELOS manufacturing right through to the digital factory. The new CELOS versions and products allow targeted realisation of the continuity required in production. With the latest version of CELOS the new APPs, such as “CELOS Condition Analyser” or “CELOS Performance Monitor” have laid the foundation for the optimisation of workflows and processes directly in the machine environment. A greater focus will be given to solutions for digital workflows on a shopfloor level at the EMO. Dr. Holger Rudzio, Managing Director of DMG MORI Software Solutions, promises:“We will be presenting an extensive portfolio of data-based digitisation modules within the framework of the “Path of Digitization” – including among others for production planning and tool management. These either complement or build upon each other. With these connective solutions for the CELOS digital factory we enable in particular SMEs gradual, and above all, practical entry into the future of digitalised industry.”

CELOS is developing into an extensive ecosystem for digital added value in production
DMG MORI will be presenting integral data-based production workflows for the first time at the EMO. An adaptive CELOS planning tool for decentralised production control will be presented in Hannover for the first time. An integral workflow for tool management from the cloud to CAM and simulation and on through to CNC control will be presented by the DMG MORI with CELOS Digital Tooling. A new mobile user interface will be presented in the form of the new CELOS proTAB, which opens up the CELOS world for the first time for both competitor products and machines from other fields of technology as well as for manual workplaces within the process chain. The new CELOS netBOX opens up the seamless integration of the machines in the higher-level network structures – through to secure data interaction via cloud platforms and the Internet of Things. In other words CELOS is developing from the APP-based control and operation interface to become a data-based, high-performance planning and control platform for the digital production of the future. In combination with digital software and service solutions it is gradually being configured to become a comprehensive ecosystem, with which customers can shape their futures both individually and holistically.

Core competence complemented with the new
Despite the fascinating possibilities of digitisation, engineering and manufacturing competence remains the core business of DMG MORI. That it is why it is important to strengthen both the new and the proven. Digitisation, automation, additive manufacturing and technology excellence as well as “traditional” high-tech machines are therefore equally the focus of the innovation offensive.

Automation – perfectly coordinated automation solutions

Additive Manufacturing – complex 3D components with powder nozzle or in a powder bed
DMG MORI is successful on the market in ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING with laser deposition welding using a powder nozzle. Selective laser melting in a powder bed now expands the product portfolio. In other words DMG MORI demonstrates its integral competence by bringing together the key generative manufacturing processes under one roof and ranks as a full-line provider in both the additive manufacturing of metallic components and in post processing.

The LASERTEC 3D and LASERTEC SLM series are the cornerstones of DMG MORI’s strategic orientation in this future technology. While the LASERTEC 3Dhybrid successfully combines laser deposition welding by means of powder nozzle and 5-axis milling, the LASERTEC SLM series stands for selective laser melting in a powder bed.“Both technologies complement each other ideally in our product range. We are present globally for our customers with our Additive Manufacturing Excellence Centers in Bielefeld, Pfronten, Tokyo, Shanghai und Chicago,” explains Patrick Diederich, responsible for the Advanced Technologies division. “Great importance is attached in particular to the powder bed process: This technology has a market share of 80 percent where the additive manufacturing of metallic components is concerned.” The latest innovation stages of the two processes will be presented at the EMO integrated in continuous process chains.

DMG MORI Technology Excellence Center
Low unit costs, automated processes and a high degree of flexibility are the key factors in an efficient production. As one of the leaders of technology in the metal cutting sector, DMG MORI is called upon to create ever more economical CNC solutions that will ensure its customers a competitive edge. To achieve this, the machine tool manufacturer develops and realises holistic, application-specific turnkey solutions for the aerospace, automotive, die & mould and medical sectors in its DMG MORI Technology Centers. Experts from DMG MORI are involved in the development of customer projects at a very early stage. Together with its customers DMG MORI gains important experience and extensive knowledge. Both are used equally in the development of new machines and components right through to turnkey production solutions.
