HAIMER at AMB 2024 (Hall 1, Booth E50): this is how tool management works in 2024!
The new HAIMER Automation Cube One with Siemens Sinumerik One control system is a massive robotic cell that operates 24/7. It is capable of reducing and resizing a tool in just 120 seconds, measuring and transferring the data to the machine and databases.

HAIMER at AMB 2024 (hall 1, booth E50): this is how tool management works in 2024!

At AMB 2024 in Stuttgart (Hall 1, Booth E50), HAIMER will demonstrate how modern tool management works: with high-quality, process-reliable components, with end-to-end digitization to fully automated tool presetting and secure transfer of digital tool data to the machine. Notable highlights of the HAIMER booth include the 30 m2 fully digitized Tool Room and the market-ready version of the fully automated tool preparation system HAIMER Automation Cube One, which was first presented a year ago.

B01 HAIMER Tool Room Management
Starting with the HAIMER toolholders and tools and Toolbase output devices, the 3D data are digitally managed by the WinTool software until they are sent to the machine control system. For the analog setup process, the networked HAIMER Power Clamp, Tool Dynamic and Microset devices are available.

Tool management should be made as easy as possible for manufacturing companies - whether they are small or large. End-to-end digitization and automation play a decisive role here. HAIMER, a leading system provider for complete tool management, has designed its complete product range, which ranges from tool holders, crimping and balancing technology, tool presetters to carbide tools and probes, accordingly. It no longer "just scores" with the highest quality, but is also suitable for Industry 4.0.

At AMB 2024, HAIMER will show what modern, future-proof tool management can look like, offering advantages for both large and small companies. For this purpose, a complete "Tool Room of the Future"  furnished. "We offer our customers the analog and digital tool setting process from a single source," emphasizes Andreas Haimer, president of the HAIMER Group. "Starting with our toolholders and tools and Toolbase output devices, the data are digitally managed by the WinTool software until they are sent to the machine control system. For the analog setting process, our HAIMER Power Clamp, Tool Dynamic and Microset devices are available. That's unique!"

The WinTool data hub plays central role in overall process and enables the management of tools, equipment, machine programs, processes and master data. "In order to offer our customers a proven, powerful digital offering, we acquired a 25 percent stake in WinTool AG at the beginning of the year and agreed on a strategic partnership with the TCM Group. Since then, their product lines WinTool and Toolbase have also been part of the HAIMER program," explains Andreas Haimer.

To ensure that digital processes in tool management function reliably, tools or their chucks should be marked as clearly as possible. HAIMER therefore supplies all tool holders with a unique ID - in the form of a lasered, unique data matrix code that prevents confusion. In addition, a wide variety of (setup) information for each tool can be stored in the HAIMER Tool Room Manager (TRM) database and recalled as needed.

B03 Neuheiten Werkzeugaufnahmen
At AMB 2024, HAIMER will present a wide range of innovations in tool clamping technology: from the Micro Collet Chuck to the High Performance Chuck to Hybrid Chuck technology. The PSC polygon shaft cones in sizes 32 to 63 are new to the HAIMER range.

Innovations in the range of tool holders

In addition to all future-oriented "digital" developments, the world market leader in tool crimping and balancing technology will also present numerous innovations and improvements in basic components, including the HAIMER Hybrid Chuck with patented hybrid chuck technology, available starting in the fourth quarter of 2024. This toolholder combines the advantages of two clamping worlds: the vibration damping properties of a hydraulic expansion chuck with those of a high-precision high-performance crimp chuck. Long-term tests yielded promising results: compared to milling head fixtures with insert milling cutters, machining time could be reduced by 30 percent with the hybrid chuck with solid carbide milling cutter. In addition, tool life was more than five times longer, allowing significantly more components to be produced with one tool set.

New to the range is a large assortment tool holders with polygon shank cone PSC (ISO 26623) in the best quality usual for HAIMER. This spindle interface is particularly suitable for turning milling centers because fixed axial positioning and high torsional rigidity are achieved by torque transfer and centering through the polygonal taper with plane system. A wide variety of designs are available in sizes PSC 32 to 63 (cladding system diameter), from crimp and collet holders to Weldon and milling head holders.

In addition, HAIMER is expanding its range of toolholders with so-called Micro Collet Chucks, i.e. high-precision collet chucks for micro-machining with small machine interfaces (BT30 with plane system, HSK-E25, HSK-E40, HSK-E50).

B02 HAIMER Hybrid Chuck
The new HAIMER Hybrid Chuck is based on a patented technology that combines the advantages of two clamping worlds: the vibration damping properties of a hydraulic expansion chuck with those of a high-precision high-performance crimp chuck.

Future concept for tool presetting

Last but not least, one of the highlights at the HAIMER AMB booth is the Automation Cube One, the automated all-in-one tool center for 24/7 tool supply. While the innovations mentioned so far facilitate the production process for every machinist, i.e. they can also be used by small and medium-sized companies to increase efficiency, the Automation Cube One is aimed more at companies with the highest level of automation and a large number of tool changes per day. The HAIMER Automation Cube One is a robotic cell as massive as a machine tool and is controlled by the latest Siemens CNC Sinumerik One. The Cube performs automatic crimping, shrinking and measuring of complete tools and can manage up to three different tool interfaces simultaneously. Up to 11 axes are available for part handling. "Our Automation Cube One succeeds in shrinking and reducing a tool, measuring it and transferring the data to the machine and databases within minutes," Andreas Haimer emphasizes. Compared to the prototype presented last year, the Automation Cube is also equipped with measurement technology and sensors, allowing it to perform additional measurement tasks.
