In cooperation with Conoptica we can now offer inline and automated optical insert measurement. To make very accurate profiles (< 1 µm) not only the machine accuracy is important, but also the position and degree of wear of the insert. Guessing of the condition and position of the insert creates scrap and repeated measurement of [...]

Significant time savings in the production of bearing rollers with high feed tooling and the combination of hard turning and peel grinding. Thanks to this new tooling, our machines can fully realize their strengths and become faster and more productive. As a first application example, we have used the latest high feed tools for the [...]

As we mentioned in our previous news article, Hembrug had already sold more than 20,000 precision machines before 1969 with conventional bearings. These worked in a range of just 1/100 mm and met the accuracy requirements of the time perfectly. IBM's application for memory drives in 1968, with a surface requirement of 0.025 µm, forced [...]

50 years of hydrostatics In 1969, exactly 50 years ago, Hembrug introduced it's first machine with a hydrostatic main spindle. Until then, Hembrug had sold more than 20,000 conventional turning machines, such as the DR1, the DR133 and the DR133-NC. However, these precision lathes, with conventional bearing systems, worked in the 1/100 mm range and [...]

Hard turning of tungsten carbide impossible? In this video, made in cooperation with our tooling supplier Diamond Tooling Systems GmbH, we show what is possible with hard turning when machining tungsten carbide. With the right hard turning machine and the right tooling, hard-turning offers an economical and cost-saving alternative to conventional machining techniques such as [...]
