The highly anticipated EMO trade show, scheduled for September 16-21 in Hannover, Germany, is poised to become a pivotal event for the metalworking sector. Ceratizit, a prominent player in the industry, is gearing up to showcase its latest products and innovations at Hall 5, Stand C69. The exhibition will serve as a platform for engaging technical discussions, exploring emerging trends, and delving into the realm of sustainability.
As the manufacturing landscape continues its transition towards greater intelligence, Ceratizit has firmly established itself at the forefront of digital machining innovations. A notable highlight is the CERAsmart ToolScope, a monitoring and control system that records cutting machine signals in real-time, offering vital insights for process control, machine protection, and documentation.
Andreas Kordwig, Director of Global Product Management at Ceratizit, emphasizes the value of data when harnessed effectively, noting, “This kind of data can be extremely valuable for the machinist… We already meet this challenge very successfully with our CERAsmart Cockpit.”
In line with the drive towards a Smart Factory, Ceratizit is also unveiling sophisticated automation solutions. Their R-C2 workpiece automation module demonstrates a seamless link between pallet automation and robot direct loading. By gripping workpieces directly with a vice, this module eliminates the need for a separate gripper, reducing the risk of damage and minimizing setup efforts.
Ceratizit’s commitment to innovation extends to their FreeTurn tools, a revolutionary solution that has redefined turning technology efficiency. Dr. Uwe Schleinkofer, Director of Research and Development at Ceratizit, highlights their focus on simplifying the High Dynamic Turning (HDT) process programming, making efficient turning more accessible.
The company also reinforces its dedication to sustainability through its Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) initiative. By calculating and classifying the amount of greenhouse gases emitted during product production, Ceratizit provides buyers with transparent information to guide their choices towards environmentally friendly options.
Ceratizit is also actively contributing to sustainable mobility solutions, collaborating with projects like the Green Team of the University of Stuttgart and the “Sonnenwagen” solar car initiative. Visitors can explore the Covestro Adelie solar car at their stand, gaining insights into its energy generation and the challenges faced during its construction.
Live demonstrations on a DMG machine, showcasing High Dynamic Turning and other tooling highlights, promise to captivate attendees. Additionally, an exciting raffle offers visitors the chance to win various intriguing prizes.
Ceratizit’s participation at EMO 2023 underscores its commitment to advancing the industry through innovative products and a sustainable mindset.
