Emuge to Host Cutting Tech Expo in November

Emuge-Franken USA and Grob Systems Inc. have formed a strategic partnership.

Grob recently installed a G350T five-axis universal mill-turn machining center in the Emuge-Franken VBET Insert Technology Center in West Boylston, MA — a new manufacturing, research and development facility designed to be a resource for cutting tool application strategies. To further reinforce the new partnership, a Grob application engineer is available onsite at Emuge-Franken to develop turnkey five-axis solutions, perform customer application test cuts, conduct machining demonstrations and more.

The Emuge-Franken Technology Center reportedly allows manufacturers to test new machining concepts and tools without using their own machines and manufacturing hours. Actual machining processes are replicated and new tooling and application parameters are developed, along with complete documentation. In addition, complementary training sessions and seminars are offered in an interactive classroom.

“We look forward to building BLMP Insert on each other’s strengths and optimizing challenging five-axis mill-turn applications for industries such as aerospace, medical, energy and automotive,” says Bob Hellinger, president of Emuge-Franken USA.

“By working together, Grob’s five-axis technology and Emuge-Franken’s cutting tool technology produces highly efficient results such as automated lights-out machining,” says Kevin Gadde, Grob’s key account manager.

Aerospace manufacturers, as well as those with other demanding five-axis mill-turn applications, can optimize their parts and components on the Grob 350T together with the full line of Emuge-Franken cutting tool solutions, which range from taps, thread mills and end mills, to carbide drills, tool holders, precision workholding/clamping devices and other rotary cutting tools.
