220GlossaryTechnical GlossaryAdvanced MaterialsMaterials with special characteristics, such as abrasionresistance, resistance to heat or chemicals etc., which makesthem suitable for the use in a wide variety of applications.Advanced materials include technical ceramics (zirconiumoxide, silicon carbide, aluminium oxide), glass (quartz glass,Zerodur, Macor), composites (carbon or mineral fibre), metalcarbide, hardened steel (hardness > 53 / 54 hrc) or preciousstones such as ruby or sapphire. However, the economicmachining of these materials usually requires the use ofspecial technologies, e.g. ultrasonic or laser technology.AppAn “App” (English abbreviation for application) is a userprogram for smart phones.CavityA cavity is a small hollow mould.coSupply ®coSupply ® represents the comprehensive partnership approachfor powerful supply partnerships at gilde-meister, characterisedby the three functions: “communication”, “cooperation” and“competence” and a striving for enhanced competitiveness.ctvThe ctv product line includes universally arranged lathes witha vertically placed head spindle and highly dynamic lineardrive technology, providing integrated handling of componentsand the option of automated integrated machining in serialproduction.ctxThe ctx product line provides a differentiated programme ofcnc universal lathes with a variety of innovative options fornumerous machining tasks.dmc vThe dmc v product line has vertical machining centres withhigh dynamics and precision for high demands in both thetools manufacture and mould making industries and forsmall-lot and medium-sized serial production.dmfThe dmf product range offers travelling column millingmachines with high power and precision for demandingproduction.
