The manufacturer of material and process-specific cutting tools and the CNC machine manufacturer aim to fundamentally improve the machining strategies for advanced materials together. With the expertise and resources of both companies, comprehensive process engineering solutions are being developed to meet the current needs of customers. The cooperation includes the expansion of existing customer projects, joint trade fair appearances, and the development of new machining concepts. In Europe, a wide audience will be specifically convinced of the advantages of integrated machining solutions through workshops, webinars, and open house days.
The partnership focuses on the development of advanced machining strategies for high-performance materials such as composites and engineering plastics. By bundling their strengths, Hufschmied and CMS can offer integrated solutions that combine machine design, cutting tool technology, and customized machining strategies. With the CMS ARES machine, specifically tailored to Hufschmied's specifications and available at the Bobingen site, the companies create a platform for optimizing machining parameters and strategies. This state-of-the-art machine allows for conducting trials, refining processes, and gaining valuable insights into the ongoing developments of digital manufacturing solutions. These insights not only flow into the design of tools and machines but also into customized solutions for customers.
Innovative process optimizations
A central aspect of the collaboration is the mutual commitment to process optimization. The tool manufacturer's experience in analyzing cutting processes impacts the partnership by maximizing precision, reducing cycle times, extending tool life, and thus developing cost-effective solutions for customers. Thanks to the extensive experience on the shop floor of both partners, every phase of the value chain, from material preparation to final machining, is seamlessly integrated. The result: more efficient processes, reduced scrap rates, and superior machining quality. 'This partnership represents a significant advancement in cutting technology. By combining Hufschmied's state-of-the-art tool technology with CMS's expertise in CNC machines, the collaboration opens up new opportunities for efficiency, quality, and sustainability in machining advanced materials,' agree Christel Hufschmied, Managing Director of Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme GmbH, and Matteo Radicioni, CEO of CMS S.p.A.
