EMO Hannover 2013 Exhibition Announcement / Schütte Multi-Spindle Automatic Lathe and Universal Tool Grinding Machine

F Series – Established Reputation and Tradition

Schutte Company was founded in 1880, starting as a company that handled high-quality steel from the UK and machine tools from the USA. Since then, it has supplied machines worldwide as a manufacturer of multi-axis automatic lathes and universal tool grinding machines for over 125 years. Today, it is well-regarded by users around the world as a long-established manufacturer of multi-axis automatic lathes. The F series includes traditional 6-axis and 8-axis cam-type automatic lathes, accommodating diameters from 26 to 51 mm. This well-established machine, used for many applications over the years, has a variety of additional attachments, including those for contour machining at individual positions using CNC composite processing slides.

6-axis / 8-axis flexible high-output CNC multi-axis automatic lathe, compatible with material diameters up to 51 mm.

Schütte offers a wide range of products for multi-spindle automatic lathes. Multi-spindle automatic lathes are highly productive manufacturing machines where the necessary manufacturing steps and processes for producing workpieces are carried out in parallel at a high level. During this process, multiple machining spindles periodically switch to various machining stations, where the workpieces are gradually machined. All machining stations operate in parallel, and multiple tools can be combined. The productivity of multi-spindle automatic lathes varies depending on the number of spindles and usage cases, but it is approximately 5 to 7 times higher than that of single-spindle automatic lathes. Scheduled exhibition in 2013: EMO (Hannover, Germany)

The 335 series high-precision 5-axis CNC universal tool grinding machine is very flexible and versatile! It is a CNC universal tool grinding machine eligible for green investment tax reductions.

This CNC universal tool grinding machine is used in almost all industrial fields today and is suitable for the manufacturing and regrinding of cutting tools, as well as for rough and finish grinding of workpieces with complex contour shapes. After clamping round bar materials or blank materials, various grinding wheels and attachments are automatically exchanged, allowing for finishing processes to be carried out. It boasts a high delivery record to Western manufacturers as a machining tool for surgical instruments such as artificial knee joints, hip joints, rasps, and medullary reamers.

SCX Series - New Generation

Schütte introduces the SCX-32 as the first product of the new generation of multi-axis automatic lathes. The SCX series fully realizes the vision of a "multi-functional lathe" for the first time. This means that many machining methods of a highly productive machine concept are possible due to easy equipment changes and simple operation. To avoid the need for movable cables during drum indexing, continuous indexing of the spindle drum is made possible, minimizing the number of slip ring contacts. The water cooling of the spindle ensures the best thermal stability within the spindle drum, which is the heart of the multi-axis automatic lathe.

G Series - Fast and Compact

The G Series, a minimum multi-axis automatic lathe from Schütte, is a high-productivity, unparalleled high-speed cam-type machine that accommodates material diameters up to 20 mm. The G Series machines feature 6 or 8 main spindles and are often used as 2x3 or 2x4 axis machines. Simple workpieces can be produced at speeds significantly below one second. In terms of machining capabilities, the G Series far surpasses traditional cam-type machines. Additional features such as CNC compound machining slides, CNC pick-off spindles, or spindle standstill allow for the production of complex and extremely precise turned parts.

Automatic grinding wheel exchange system with a modular design that allows for additional functions based on individual specifications.

In the 335 linear, all CNC 5-axis machines are equipped with direct drives, making them suitable not only for conventional tool grinding but also for oscillation grinding. The adoption of linear motor technology enables this machine to achieve excellent dynamic performance and very high speeds on linear axes. This, in turn, increases the productivity of multi-axis linear CNC grinding. The benefits are clear. When machining high-demand profile shapes, there is no need to use expensive profile grinding wheels. This is particularly true for small batches, where the high cost of grinding wheels makes the process uneconomical. Using simple-shaped grinding wheels on the 335 linear for multi-axis linear CNC grinding is more advantageous and flexible. It allows for complete and economical processing of demanding tasks. Especially when using a grinding wheel changer equipped with five holders, high flexibility is achieved.

**Seminar Overview** The construction industry faces many challenges, including a shortage of personnel, regulations on maximum working hours, and the need for efficiency improvements. Additionally, the transmission of skills due to an aging workforce has become a significant issue, with a high turnover rate among younger employees who are supposed to carry on these skills. In this seminar, we will discuss the causes of turnover based on case studies and explain key points on how to reduce turnover rates by advancing IT integration.

**Seminar Overview** "Generative AI," which is gaining attention as a method for improving business efficiency and utilizing internal digital transformation (DX), can be influenced by the literacy of the employees using it, potentially increasing the burden of work instead. In this seminar, we will discuss the current challenges of generative AI while providing examples of how it can be used to enhance business efficiency. We will also explain how to utilize generative AI in a way that achieves efficiency without being dependent on the user's skills. We hope this will serve as a reference for considering the use of generative AI.

**Seminar Overview** The reality that young members leave their jobs due to miscommunication with their superiors occurs in every industry. This is also true in the construction industry. The long-standing issues of labor shortages, regulations on working hours, and the challenges of passing on skills due to an aging workforce are significant problems. However, the misalignment in communication with young employees, who are supposed to be receiving this knowledge, may actually worsen the situation. In this seminar, we will discuss the causes of communication gaps as seen through case studies, and talk about methods for skill transfer, knowledge accumulation, and smooth internal communication using IT tools.
