HAINBUCH UK Ltd

Imagine a mandrel with a hexagonal pyramid shape instead of a round taper, which is also well designed with stringent manufacturing requirements and process reliability in mind. Well Hainbuch has provided the answer and acted in response to demand from the market that has been steadily growing. Users are requesting mandrels that deliver higher performance as well as process reliability and he result is Maxxos.

From automatic loading, to unattended machining of a range of different parts and even process controlPaving the way for Industry 4.0, Hainbuch has gone digital. Hainbuch has recently proven how two networking production solutions have propelled its own manufacturing into the digital age. 

Sometimes small things turn out to be a big success. And that´s true for the mini chucks. But one thing they haven´t had until now was compatibility with the Hainbuch modular system. That´s no longer the case, and of course this includes both series of chucks: the round Spanntop and the hexagonal profile Toplus. Because of its reduced interference contour, to be able to use the modular system the Spanntop mini chuck comes with an adapter ring. The existing Mando Adapt mandrel and jaw module work perfectly with the new Spanntop mini. The Toplus version does not use an adapter ring, instead it has ring of attachment holes for fixing the jaw module, and next year it will get its own Mando Adapt series of adapters. And finally, as another piece of good news, Spanntop and Toplus minis both have full through-bore and are available in three standard lengths to suit all machines and drawtubes

The Siemens Sinumerik CNC controllers have been getting the maximum productivity out of each machine for over 50 years. Now they have another partner on their side: the Hainbuch Testit software. It is available on a data carrier for installation on Siemens CNC controllers [Sinumerik 840 D sl plus PCU50]. This means that a separate laptop is not needed anymore and manufacturing with "theoretical clamping forces" is also a thing of the past. Thanks to Testit, the operator always knows which clamping forces exist and where, and the actual maintenance status of the clamping device. And given the safety standard DIN EN 1550, it is a "must have". This means: The Testit clamping force gauge together with the Siemens CNC controller executes a target-actual comparison of the maintenance status of a clamping device. If the limit values are underranged, a warning message is output. Perfect, don’t you think?
