For one, the unique combination of laser metal deposition via powder nozzle and milling accelerates the production process. The set-up has a couple of advantage. The Lasertec 65 is a combination additive manufacturing and milling machine, all housed in one 5-axis work envelope.

At first glance, it provides the user with a uniform operator interface with multi-touch functionality. CELOS simplifies and accelerates the production process from the idea to the finished product. CELOS APPs provide the user with integrated and digitised management, documentation and visualisation of order, process and machine data. A second draw for attendees was CELOS, which offers a common interface for all new high-tech machines from DMG MORI. Thanks to these characteristics, additive manufacturing using this system opens up new perspectives in the machining of large workpieces as required by the aerospace or other industries. Secondly, unique machining operations are possible - for instance, the realisation of geometric features with negative angles.

Only then is the go-ahead given to start machining. Appropriate queries and necessary confirmations ensure that the machine operator makes no mistakes. The operator is then guided through the setup process and preparation of the machining job by a dialog. In this process, the availability of all NC programs and equipment (tooling, fixtures, etc.) required for machining is checked. For example, the data can be quickly accessed during later processing or obtained from a repeat order.With JOB ASSISTANT, digitally prepared orders can be systematically processed at a later stage.

A total of 24 world premieres will be presented by DMG MORI in 2014 вЂ“ seven of them were exhibited during the open house event in Pfronten. The machine operator is then instructed and guided in detail by the JOB ASSISTANT. This is because a skilled worker can first single-handedly prepare all orders in the JOB MANAGER. On the other hand, already widely networked large companies can optimally organise and use the different competencies of their employees by means of these two CELOS production applications. Small companies with a high level of personal operator responsibility particularly benefit from the option of paperless production.

The company actually outlined four levels of automation on the showroom floor, with examples of each for visitors to consider. Other highlights included XXL-Machining and DMG MORI Automation. This yearвЂ™s open house also focused on new technologies in die & mould, high-speed-cutting and aerospace applications.
