Machine beds for the third generation of DMG machine tools:
Siempelkamp cast components:
an intergenerational contract
In the Allgäu region of Germany, Siempelkamp cast components are already going into a third generation of machinery:
Deckel Maho Gildemeister (DMG) consistently relies on foundry technology from Krefeld for its machine beds.
the complex component is created on the basis of more than
ten years of successful cooperation between the machine
tools manufacturer from Pfronten/Germany and siempelkamp
Giesserei. DMG has been relying on quality products from Krefeld
since 2001. “After we supplied the second generation of machine
beds for the large DMC 340 U 5-axis portal machine, this great
cooperation with DMG opened up a new and ambitious casting
concept. A cast iron part is currently being worked on for the
third generation of machine tools,” says Dirk Howe, Head of
sales at siempelkamp Giesserei. It is easy to draw parallels to
other gigantic archetypes. “When you see the finished, futuristiclooking
cast iron part for the DMU 125 machine support, you
could almost think you were looking at the starship enterprise.”
DMG ordered not just one, but five prototypes from Krefeld,
weighing 11 t each. size does not exclude the possibility of
speed. the new machines, complete with their new cast iron
parts, should be ready for use quickly. At the AMB in stuttgart in
september 2012, the new display piece was already part of the
standard equipment.
siempelkamp keeps pace. “Under enormous time pressure, the
first prototype left our plant on time, after twelve weeks.
this was only possible thanks to the combined effort of all
participants, both at our plant in Krefeld and at DMG in Allgäu
– starting from the model planning and design, the model-
makers, our mold-makers and fettlers, the quality control centers at
both companies, and the order-processing staff,” says Dirk Howe.
