EMO 2023: Digitalization & Sustainability
umati returns!
At EMO Hannover 2023 : umati is back! And bigger and more comprehensive than ever before. In Hannover, the community of now more than 300 umati partners will demonstrate decentralized communication between machines, components and software works - and well beyond the machine tool. umati (universal machine technology interface) is the global initiative for open
communication interfaces for the machine building industries and their customers. Machine builders, software manufacturers, component suppliers and users are uniting to form a strong community to promote the use of open, standardized interfaces based on OPC UA companion specifications. n
More than 1,750 exhibitors from 42 countries are currently expected at EMO Hannover 2023 (which takes place between 18-23rd September 2023). They will present the entire spectrum of production technology. Major points of interest include CNC machining centers and lathes, cutting tools and clamping devices, measuring equipment and control systems. “The breadth of the technical offerings is unparalleled at
the international trade fair for production technology,” emphasized Markus Heering. The event highlights the challenges that exist in production: greater efficiency, more flexibility, better quality, increased accuracy, the integration of AI, comprehensive factory-wide networking, and much more. n

Horn to launch boring bar with adjustable damping
https://emo-hannover.com/
Cutting tool and insert manufacturer Paul Horn, will unveil new products and range expansions on its 580 square metre stand, A54, in Hall 5 at EMO 2023. One innovation will be a boring bar with adjustable damping, which will be shown carrying a grooving insert.

A long overhang can cause a turning tool to oscillate when boring internal geometries. In addition to causing
conditions. To address this problem, Horn has developed a boring bar that can be set to match the oscillation amplitude during machining. Precise adjustment enables vibration-free turning, resulting in better surface quality and a significant increase in insert life. The damping element, a carbide rod supported in O-rings, is adjusted from the outside by turning a screw to fine-tune the pre- tension of the rings. This allows the boring bar to be set accurately to minimise the vibration. n
