For six days, the city of Hannover will be the center of attraction and meeting place for production specialists from across the globe. Around 2,000 companies from 38 countries will be presenting their performance capabilities and innovative strength to top-qualified specialists at the show. This year‘s EMO Hannover has the motto „More than Machine Tools“. That applies both to the products and to the event as a whole. „EMO Hannover 2011 is the most important date this year for the precision tool industry,“ confirms Dr. Wolfgang Sengebusch, Managing Director of the specialist association Precision Tools within the German Engineering Federation VDMA at the EMO press forum in Varel. He added: „Industry is currently in good health, but the delight experienced over the economic upturn is not completely untarnished.“ This is the case because manufacturers of precision tools are once again being increasingly confronted by exorbitant rises in raw material costs on a broad front. A particularly steep rise has occurred in the costs for APT, a raw material for tungsten carbide: due to artificial shortage and high demand, the costs for this material have more than doubled within a year according to Metal Bulletin. Alloyed steels and electric current are also becoming more and more expensive and are putting a burden on companies at least in the short term. Currently and in the medium term, the industry is seeking one response to this situation in the development of new, innovative solutions. As a result, the industry‘s presentation at EMO 2011 will be marked by new tool deve- The world as guest at EMO: from 19th to 24th Sep- tember 2011, the metal machining professionals are meeting again in Hannover.

Sengebusch: „The orders received during the first six months of this year show that the German tool manufacturers have been able to follow up seamlessly on the successful year 2010. For the current year, we expect a rise in production of 17 percent and we anticipate a very lively EMO in Hannover.“ Hall 4, Stand E66 19th – 24th September, daily from 9am – 6pm N E W S L E T T E R 01
N E W S L L E T T E RR 02 KROMI Editorial Information topics views Dear Readers … Since the middle of 2009 things have been moving upwards again in precision tools. With a production plus of 14 percent to eight and a half billion euros, the precision tool industry has already been able to recover from the crisis during the course of last year. This trend has also continued during the first six months of this year. With around 35 percent, the manufacturers of cutting tools, in particular, achieved a considerable upturn, which has persisted during the first half of 2011. The German mechanical and plant engineering sector, too, has been able to record a rise in orders of 23 percent during the first half of 2011 according to the VDMA. The figures for machine tools recently provided by the German Machine Tool Builders‘ Association VDW are even higher: orders received have more than doubled during the first six months over the same period last year. However, instead of being able to enjoy the upturn, we find ourselves again in the midst of a cost spiral as regards the raw materials. Whether it‘s electricity or steels, there‘s only one direction the costs are moving in – upwards, with a steeper and steeper gradient. The interplay between strongly rising demand and artificial scarcity is resulting in disproportionately high price increases. Especially in the case of tools, the key issue is no longer technology, but maximum customer benefit in the form of minimum costs per part. This can only be achieved by taking into account all production aspects. This includes advice about the choice of the „right“ tool just as much as services in the logistics field or the development of individually customized complete machining solutions. Increasing efficiency is now the industry‘s motto. An essential basis for that is provided by new materials that serve as the foundation for electromobility, for instance, and that combine high strength and stability with low weight. Similar demands are also made by the aerospace industry. The materials are frequently built up from various diffe- 5. Tool conditioning 4. Tool dispensing 6. Cost Controlling TOOL MANAGEMENT 3.
