With seven interface options, it ensures reliable clamping for all common…
The CNC machines and robot cells of the Berger Group grind and sharpen (almost) everything that needs to be permanently sharp. Solenoid interlocks, control panels and safety controllers from Schmersal are used for position monitoring and interlocking of the safety doors on the robot cells. In the kitchen, in the field, in food production and also in the operating theatre: wherever sharp cuts are made, the knives have often been ground, sharpened or serrated by machines from the Berger Group. The company is literally a “hidden champion” because it is based in a small town on the banks of the…

Both models set new standards in the machining of sophisticated components – for example in medical technology, precision engineering and other industries where dynamics and ultimate accuracy are essential. Key characteristic…
The world of Metal cutting is quite complex and Turning is relatively a simpler process to understand compared with Milling and Drilling as its just a single cutting edge in action. Even so many parameters influence the success of the Turning process. Selection of the right tool plays an important part of this process. This selection is influenced by the following parameters: 1. Workpiece material- its condition- whether forged, bar stock, the hardness, with or without interruptions, symmetric or asymmetric etc. 2. The type of machine, Tool holder shank size, Coolant flow and pressure, type of workpiece clamping – Hydraulic…
