GrindingHub, the new leading trade fair for grinding technology in Stuttgart, has passed a further milestone. "Barely two months after the registration documents were sent out, numerous market leaders have already signed up for GrindingHub. This means that Stuttgart is already set to become the heart of the grinding technology sector," said a delighted Dr Wilfried Schäfer, Executive Director of the organiser VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association), Frankfurt am Main.
In the last few days the VDW has sent out registration forms to potential GrindingHub exhibitors all over the world. “We first presented our trade fair concept just four weeks ago, and since then we have succeeded in creating the registration forms for the new GrindingHub and distributing them within record time,” reports VDW Executive Director Dr. Wilfried Schäfer.
GrindingHub, the first edition of the new leading trade fair and the center for grinding technology, will be held from 17 to 20 May 2022 in Stuttgart. It is scheduled to be run every two years by the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders’ Association), Frankfurt am Main, in cooperation with Messe Stuttgart and the “Machine Tools and Manufacturing Technology” industry sector of Swissmem (Association of the Swiss Mechanical, Electrical and Metal Industries) as promotional supporter.
E-Mobilität, Digitalisierung und Automatisation - dies sind nur einige der Trends, die den Bereich der Schleiftechnik zurzeit bewegen. Ausstellende Unternehmen der neuen Fachmesse GrindingHub und die Experten aus der Forschung geben Einblicke in aktuelle Technologien und Prozesse dieser besonders anspruchsvollen Branche.
e-mobility, digitalization and automation: these are just some of the key trends in the grinding technology sector at present. Research experts and the companies exhibiting at the new GrindingHub trade show will be providing insights into the latest technologies and processes in this rapidly developing industry.
Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm: Auf Prof. Dirk Biermann, den Leiter des Instituts für Spanende Fertigung (ISF) an der Technischen Universität Dortmund, trifft diese Volksweisheit zu. Obwohl die neue Messe GrindingHub von Messe Stuttgart, Swissmem und VDW erst im Mai 2022 stattfindet, sagte der bekannte Schleifexperte und WGP-Wissenschaftler (Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Produktionstechnik) sofort seine Unterstützung zu. Details nannte der ISF-Chef im Interview.
The early bird gets the worm. This certainly applies to Prof. Dirk Biermann, Head of the Institute of Machining Technology (ISF) at the Technical University of Dortmund. Although the new GrindingHub trade fair – organised by Messe Stuttgart, Swissmem and VDW – is not scheduled to take place until May 2022, the well-known grinding expert and SSPT (German Academic Association for Production Technology) scientist was quick to support the event. The leading ISF figure agreed to give an in-depth interview.
Simon Kimme entwickelt mit seiner Dissertation ein Simulationsmodell, das Hartfeinbearbeitung von Zahnrädern durch kontinuierliches Wälzschleifen abbildet. Dadurch wird eine innovative Voraussetzung für Beurteilung, Behebung und Prävention von geräuschkritischen Fertigungseinflüssen, Abweichungen und Produktionsprozesse geschaffen.
Im ersten Quartal 2021 stieg der Auftragseingang der deutschen Schleiftechnik im Vergleich zum Vorjahreszeitraum um 13 Prozent. Dabei sanken die Bestellungen aus dem Inland um 8 Prozent. Die Auslandsorders notierten 20 Prozent über Vorjahr.
Orders received by the German grinding technology industry in the first quarter of 2021 were 13 per cent up on the same period last year. Orders from Germany fell by 8 per cent. Foreign orders, however, were 20 per cent higher than in the previous year.
In his dissertation, Simon Kimme develops a simulation model that describes the hard-fine machining of gears through continuous generating grinding. This creates an innovative basis for the assessment, elimination and prevention of noise-critical manufacturing influences, deviations and production processes.
Auf Basis der Dissertation von Dr.-Ing. Mirko Theuer des IFW (Institut für Fertigungstechnik und Werkzeugmaschinen, Leibniz Universität Hannover) wird derzeit ein neues Werkzeugschleiftechnik-Verfahren entwickelt, das hohe Nebenzeiten reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Produktivität bei der Werkzeugfertigung erhöhen soll. Der dadurch neu entwickelte Wälzschleifprozess erzeugt ein immenses wirtschaftliches und wissenschaftliches Potential.
A new tool grinding technology process is currently being developed to reduce excessive non-productive times and increase productivity in tool production. It is based on work carried out by Dr.-Ing. Mirko Theuer of the IFW (Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools, Leibniz University of Hannover) for his dissertation. The resulting new generating grinding process holds enormous business and scientific potential.
