DBF: Scharmann-Heckert symbiosis<br />
Scharmann and Heckert pursued similarly ambitious<br />
product development goals in the past. The<br />
engineers of both companies operated according<br />
to the same principles and applied the same<br />
technological standards to strength calculation for<br />
new machinery.<br />
An initial outcome of collaboration – and a typical<br />
example – is the DBF series, which cleverly combines<br />
the strengths of the two companies. The<br />
core machining unit originated from Scharmann<br />
and achieves high productivity through turning,<br />
drilling and milling (in German: Drehen, Bohren<br />
and Fräsen = DBF), coupled with high-precision<br />
machining because only one clamping operation is<br />
involved. Machine design for the new series is a<br />
Heckert achievement that draws upon longstanding<br />
experience in large-scale production.<br />
A cut above the rest<br />
Under this motto we presented innovative and<br />
energy-efficient new machinery at the EMO <strong>2011</strong><br />
in Hannover, which also marked the debut of<br />
Starrag Group’s new corporate identity. In congruence<br />
with the company’s corporate development<br />
strategy, the new machines offer customers<br />
substantial productivity gains.<br />
Visitor feedback at our stand was very positive.<br />
Two of the company’s latest products, the HEC<br />
800 MT, a machining center for efficient milling,<br />
turning and boring, and the LX 451, a machining<br />
center for turbine blades capable of handling<br />
workpiece lengths of up to 2.4 meters, attracted<br />
considerable interest. EMO is the leading biannual<br />
international trade fair for the machine tool<br />
industry.
