WFL TECtalks

With the graphical interactive programming editor Millturn PRO, NC programs can be created efficiently and effortlessly. This makes your MILLTURN a universal programming system for demanding workpieces. Millturn PRO is available in controlpanel-version and additionally for PC. The benefits are also the easy creation of tool requirements lists, the improved user interface in NC programs with text folding as well as gradually checking of the machining operation with integrated simulation. Oguzhan Baser will tell us why the software is so user-friendly and uncomplicated and will emphasize the advantages in more detail.
 

WFL attaches great importance to the precision, safety and quality of all its machining processes, from deep hole drilling and internal turning to chamber boring. In this TECtalk, we shine a light on internal machining in detail. The most basic form of internal machining is drilling. Deep hole drilling is something of a special case. It is one of the special disciplines within the field of metal cutting, particularly as these kinds of machining steps usually require special equipment in terms of both tools and machines. Project engineer Stefan Voglhuber explains what needs to be considered and what challenges are involved in internal machining. He will be on hand at TECtalk with his expertise to answer questions.

In our 14. TECtalk Episode we talk about Automation. Human and machine – this partnership is not only important today, but is also set to shape the future. Robotics and AI have become integral components of production and industry. All the more reason to ensure that this symbiosis between human and machine is a harmonious one. With its wide range of automation solutions, FRAI Robotic Solutions offers the perfect tools for the path to autonomous production. The various automation solutions, whether articulated robots, gantry robots, integrated loading systems or even mobile robot automations, enable the development of optimum processes. Franz Plasonig, CEO of FRAI, and Reinhard Koll, Head of Application Engineering at WFL, were in front of the camera to answer your questions.

 

The WFL Health Check focuses on safety and reliability, which above all makes the overall condition of a MILLTURN visible. The WFL Health check ensures optimal performance through preventive maintenance and checking the machine geometry. With automatic measurement and measurement data logging, this software or hardware offers an efficient solution that can be used on all MILLTURNs.

The geometry of workpieces and the materials used are becoming increasingly more complex. In addition, the market expects quick responsiveness and a high degree of flexibility, turning greater productivity from a mere topic for discussion into a firm customer requirement. These challenges have to be mastered and the customer's wishes fulfilled. The Silent ToolsTM Plus boring bar from Sandvik Coromant – the world market leader for tools and machining solutions – is equipped with sensors to provide data on utilisation, temperature, deflection and the surface quality achieved, and intervenes adaptively in the machining process if the limit parameters are exceeded. The process transparency gained allows the machining process to be significantly optimised.

High quality requirements, profile accuracy and both reliable and flexible machining solutions are key features of gear manufacturing. Gear cutting on the MILLTURN offers perfect conditions for your manufacturing tasks. Gearing Solutions by WFL entail enormous advantages due to years of development and experiences.

 

WFL is presenting subsidiary FRAI - an automation company that designs and integrates highly complex robot solutions. Today we will show you how FRAI works, and we will talk about the advantages for FRAI customers with the man pulling the strings behind the scenes: CEO Franz Plasonig.

WFL is presenting a new, interesting software solution for operational data acquisition and predictive servicing. The new software tool, myWFL, consists of the operational data acquisition software myWFL Cockpit, the multifunctional energy optimisation tool myWFL Energy and the myWFL Condition Monitoring System.

FRAI strives to be an innovative automation partner and therefore develops highly flexible robotic systems to respond to this trend. Concepts such as the mobileCELL are an absolute premiere and enable a wide range of expansion stages to make them as future-proof and competitive as possible.

Small batch sizes of complex workpieces made of high-temperature-resistant metals are standard in the aerospace industry. Maximum precision and reliable processing of complex geometries are particularly important here.

Higher, faster, further - as the saying goes, but now there's "longer, wider, heavier". Industrial requirements are constantly being pushed upwards. All of this means that WFL is entering exciting territory: heavy-duty machining.

The 4th episode of the WFL TECtalks is about measuring in a complete machining center. There are three different methods of measuring a workpiece in a machine. Mr. Aschauer, our head of programmer training, gives an overview of this complex topic and explains the differences. Learn more...

We speak to managing director Norbert Jungreithmayr and Reinhard Koll, head of application technology. They tell us all about the new M20 MILLTURN and why you should get into intelligent machining with WFL.

The first episode was published just weeks ago and we already have the second one ready for you!! We will talk to Christoph Schinerl, Head of WFLs' software engineering. He is going to tell us about the advantages of iControl and why it makes sense to use the WFL process control software.

This is our first season of WFL "TECtalks". In each of the 4 episodes we are going to talk about a specific technology related topic focusing on easing manufacturing processes, minimizing down time and increasing production efficiency. In the first episode we are talking to Andreas Bitzyk from FRAI Robotic Technologies. He is talking about the advantages of an automated production and FRAI’s customized automation solutions for complete machining centers.
