Newly released Landis 18 Ω for precision shafts including electric vehicle drive solutions
In response to customers’ needs for continuing ICE production while simultaneously developing products and manufacturing capability for EVs, Fives has developed the Landis 18 Omega for precision shafts including electric vehicle drive solutions. This cylindrical grinding machine combines many benefits: higher output with lower energy consumption; industry-leading power to size ratio; all with reduced floor space and man-power requirements; plus the lowest Total Cost of Ownership.
Newly developed Landis TTG 3000 for turning, grinding or polishing
The Landis TTG is a twin-turret, multi-spindle solution to grind ODs, IDs, faces, tapers, concentric and eccentric diameters to sub-micron tolerances in a single clamping. A three-part solution to issues faced in the modern manufacturing process—flexible processing, flexible machine, flexible layouts, it allows for a highly flexible process in which multiple operations may be combined into one machining platform, while maintaining or improving the accuracy and precision of a traditional single spindle machine.
Full digital MMS
Dufieux Mirror Milling Star is the digital machining solution for high-speed milling, drilling and trimming of 3D aluminum or composite fuselage panels. Thanks to its surface scanning system, the machining adapts to the real shape of the panel and the dual 6-axis heads arranged in a mirror guarantee an unequaled level of precision by controlling the symmetry and the thickness of the pocket depth bottoms, whatever their complexity and diversity.
New Liné Machines Robotics solution
