INTERVIEW – GLOBAL ONE COMPANY 1. Highly secure connectivity using the IoTconnector for open interaction within the company’s own network and with decentral- ized production networks. 2. Maximum transparency regarding the status of the machines on the shop floor with our Messenger. 3. A direct line to the DMG MORI service department to optimize your service processes – with our NETservice and free access from machines to our customer portal my DMG MORI. 4. We offer the CELOS update for more than 20,000 installed CELOS machines – and thus access to our numerous further devel- oped APPs, as well as to external software systems with the Application Connector. But you do provide more than this entry-level offering? Thönes: That’s right, our digitization offer covers the entire shop floor – something that could be thought of as our customer’s living room. One example is the new cloud-based PLANNING BOARD, which allows planning processes to be optimized directly from the shop floor, finally making Excel redundant. One other example is the TULIP system for optimizing process flows in the workshop and assembly. As I understand it, the system is already being used in-house? Thönes: What’s more important is that more than 100 customers use the system success- fully for process documentation, quality data acquisition, process data analysis, assem- bly instructions, staff training or machine monitoring. What I personally find the most fascinating is the simplicity of the TULIP platform. Apps can be programed on the shop floor for the shop floor without any IT skills – “Build your own APP” by people for people. Of course, that's the reason why DMG MORI already uses TULIP at over 300 machining and assembly stations; for example in spindle assembly in Pfronten or now also in our new 4,000 m2 monoBLOCK Excellence Factory! What is special about the monoBLOCK Excellence Factory? Dr. Mori: The core of the highly modern flowline assembly is an automated guided vehicle (AGV) transport system. These AGVs move the machines autonomously through the assembly process at a continuous Investments in innovations are the only way out of the crisis. This is why automation and digitization are given top priority at DMG MORI. Christian Thönes Chairman of the Executive Board DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT We differentiate between on the one hand machine-specific solutions with integrated robots or gantry loaders, such as the Robo2Go or the PH Cell pallet handling system with its universal applications, and on the other hand highly scalable solutions with linear pallet systems or freely configurable automation modules from our WH Flex and Matris mod- ular building blocks – always paired with our own computer technology and new central tool management. Dr. Mori: No other supplier offers a compa- rable machine portfolio with such a compre- hensive automation program. The diversity and wide range of services is important to be able to tailor each and every automation project individually to the actual application. It is equally important to our customers that all our automation solutions come directly from DMG MORI and are thus supplied from a single source, from brainstorming and project development through setup and commission- ing to service and availability of spare parts. 04 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE Digitization is the second field of the future that every production company has to grapple with. This trend has also accelerated in recent months, hasn’t it? Thönes: That’s very true. Investments in innovations are the only way out of the cri- sis. That’s why automation and digitization are given top priority at DMG MORI. Above all, we see it as our duty to ensure our cus- tomers can make a systematic transition into the age of digitization; one that does not place too much burden on the company but never- theless moves every company a decisive step forward. We have achieved exactly that with our Digital Manufacturing Package. What does that mean? Thönes: Imagine that you desperately want to attend an event but you are not allowed to enter or you no longer have a ticket. Do you know that feeling? At DMG MORI we make sure that every door is open to customers when they begin their entry into digitization. To this end, the Digital Manufacturing Package offers all the essen- tial features that a user requires for success- ful entry into the digital future.

CUSTOMER STORY – JÖRG LINTZEN GMBH HEAD START IN PRODUCTION DIGITAL PLANNING BOARD ON EVERY TERMINAL High-precision rotors and filter inserts for the automotive industry are manufactured at Jörg Lintzen GmbH on DMU 40 eVo or NLX machines, among others. Jörg Lintzen GmbH has been a competent partner in the machining of complex precision components for customers from the automo- tive industry and other demanding sectors since 1966. 14 experienced staff underpin this success. They use modern machine tools from DMG MORI mainly for the production of prototypes and small batches. End-to-end digitization of the processes boosts efficiency. The latest example is the PLANNING BOARD, part of the cloud-based DMG MORI PLAN- NING & CONTROL – SME EDITION, developed by the DMG MORI subsidiary ISTOS. The man- ual planning software with assist functions to visualize utilization and capacity is easy to operate and replaces conventional planning boards or Excel spreadsheets. Prototype production within 48 hours With its well-equipped shop floor, Jörg Lintzen GmbH has for many years been able to respond flexibly and at short notice to changing order situations. Machines from the DMG MORI portfolio installed on the shop floor include DMU 40 eVo linear and DMU 65 monoBLOCK 5-axis simultaneous machining centers plus high-precision turning centers in the NLX series. “With these machines we produce a wide range of components and can realize complex geometries to the required tolerances reliably”, says Stefan Hempel, Managing Director of Jörg Lintzen GmbH. And Joshua Hempel, his son, adds: “We produce prototypes within 48 hours.” Reliable PRODUCTION PLANNING despite daily changing requirements Jörg Lintzen GmbH has experienced strong growth in recent years thanks to its custom- er-oriented corporate philosophy and has often received large orders from suppliers to automobile manufacturers. “We were con- fronted with the challenge of meeting their delivery schedules”, recalls Stefan Hempel. The demand changed weekly and even daily while meeting schedules remained the top priority. Joshua Hempel recalls: “It became increasingly difficult to plan the utilization of our capacity reliably with job cards and a planning board.” Digitized production is the future Joshua Hempel takes an all-embrac- ing view of the regular investments in its machine tools, but also says: “The market shows more and more clearly that modern CNC technology, well qualified staff and CAD / CAM alone are no longer enough to counter the price pressure of the global competition.” He wants to address this development with digitization. “We see great potential for sustainably optimizing With the PLANNING BOARD we can visualize machine utilization realistically and avoid bottlenecks.

CUSTOMER STORY – EBEL WERKZEUGBAU GMBH DIGITAL PROCESS SUPPORT POWERED BY TULIP 1 2 1. TULIP provides EBEL with the possibility of building individual apps by drag & drop that support all processes of an order digitally. 2. The latest models on the EBEL shop floor are equipped with the CELOS control and operating system, from which it will be possible to call up TULIP apps directly in future. Since 2001 Ebel Werkzeugbau GmbH from Arnsberg has specialized in the design and production of progression and punching tools, mainly for the automotive sector. The 30-strong team in production use ten machine tools from DMG MORI, including 3-axis DMC V vertical machining centers in various sizes plus a 5-axis DMU 3rd Generation with PH 150 pallet storage system. Recently EBEL has enhanced its modern production – the DMG MORI models are five years old at most – with TULIP apps that can be adapted individ- ually to all operations and that enable digital process support. “Our work begins with customer consultation”, is how Frank Ebel describes the approach of the company. The company from Arns- berg built and delivered 56 tools in 2019 alone. EBEL’s strength lies in the small size of the company, says the managing direc- tor: “Our flat management structure means we can respond flexibly and meet the high expectations of our customers.” The expertize in design and production is incorporated into new projects very early on. “Wherever neces- sary our developers can support customers with regard to feasibility and can optimize production processes.” Progression tools up to three meters in length and weighing up to six tons, which EBEL inspects completely, are created in this way. Uniform control for all machines The reason EBEL has worked with machine tools from DMG MORI from the very begin- ning, claims Frank Ebel, is the wide diversity of models and the option of using controls from HEIDENHAIN. “This means we can deploy personnel flexibly.” Frank Ebel has the goal of designing processes in the company sustainably in parallel with the consistent modernization of the shop floor – the latest models are equipped with the CELOS control and operating system. This is where TULIP from DMG MORI comes into play. With TULIP we can now support our processes integrally and measurably.

monoBLOCK – EXCELLENCE FACTORY PRICE SAVING € 30,000 € 10,000 productivity bonus € 20,000 accuracy package now as standard machine equipment The new monoBLOCK Excellence Factory has revolutionized manufacturing of the successful monoBLOCK series and enabled a 30 % increase in productivity. Mr. Horn, Mr. Musch, the Excellence Factory is considered to be the most modern assembly line for machine tools. What are the most important advantages com- pared to previous monoBLOCK production? Michael Horn: Our team has designed a flow assembly line based on a driverless AGV (automated guided vehicle) transport system, which is perfectly integrated into the digital value chain of our production site. Compared to rail systems, AGVs are a much more flexi- ble solution, which enables the optimization of the manufacturing infrastructure. Reinhard Musch: Our goal was to increase the efficiency of the space and enable the complete model mix of the monoBLOCK series to be manufactured in a highly flexible and even more productive way. The result is that we have been able to reduce throughput times of the machines by 30 percent, irre- spective of the model. How has working with the monoBLOCK changed manufacturing? Reinhard Musch: Because we got our specialists involved in the design of the Excellence Factory right from the start, we have been able to improve all the processes in terms of ergonomics and create an opti- mal working environment. The low height of the AGV at 400 mm and corresponding plat- forms, tools and aids enable easy access and assembly. Michael Horn: A custom-developed TULIP APP supports each assembly step. The APP was developed together with our team, meaning that all employees can benefit from this expertize. It is made possible by machine-specific work plans for each cycle and the required material. 18 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

CUSTOMER STORY – SQ PRODUCTS AG Leading-edge technology from DMG MORI for endoprosthetics There is good reason for the high quality requirements and strict regulations in the medical sector says Markus Glaeske: “Every error constitutes a potential for per- sonal harm.” So it is important to deliver perfect, flawless products. “This requires leading-edge technology that offers accu- racy and at the same time efficiency.” SQ Products has found a partner in DMG MORI that fulfils these demands. Lead-time of one day instead of several weeks A good example of the increase in efficiency is the NTX 2000 turn-mill center. SQ Products has so drastically optimized production with them that lead-time for the sockets of a shoulder implant have been reduced from what often took several weeks to just one day. The component is extremely complex and profile tolerances are sometimes down to thousandths of a millimeter. A challenge that can be met with the NTX 2000, as Markus Glaeske can confirm: “With 6-sided complete machining we combine five process steps into one. We needed two to three machines for this before and, depending on capac- ity, some products had to wait longer.” The NTX 2000 also benefits quality, of course, as repeated manual clamping can often lead to inaccuracies. Thanks to its counter-spindle, the NLX 2000 can perform two-sided machining without the need for any manual reclamping. Eccentric machining is also part of the process that DMG MORI has designed in such a way that the service life of the tools is now significantly longer than it was with earlier techniques. “Several process steps were needed at that time and we had to change the inserts after four to five parts”, recalls Markus Glaeske. DMP 70 with WH 3 Cell: Automatic, 5-axis simultaneous machining The latest arrival on the SQ Products shop floor is a DMP 70 with a WH 3 Cell automated workpiece handling system. According to Markus Glaeske, this was his first DMG MORI 24/7 5-AXIS MACHINING ON THE DMP 70 WITH WH 3 CELL machine from Germany. What convinced him was its compact design and the extensive functionality: “Automatic 5-axis simultaneous machining was the deciding factor because we produce demanding shoulder stems on Shoulder stems and sockets made of stainless steel are produced on the DMP 70 with WH 3 fully automatically 24/7 at SQ Products. 30 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

CUSTOMER STORY – ATTABOTICS AUTOMATED IN-HOUSE MANUFACTURING AS A FACTOR OF SUCCESS Attabotics, Inc. from Calgary in Canada was launched onto the market in 2016 with the goal of developing and building robotic 3D storage. The main customers for the effi- cient and space-saving storage solutions are companies from the ever-expanding e-commerce sector. Attabotics has over 200 employees, who have developed an innova- tive and space-saving storage system. Their in-house manufacturing includes a fleet of ten machining centers from DMG MORI, including two DMU 50 3rd Generation. Like the robotic storage solutions, Attabotics relies on intelligent and economical solu- tions for manufacturing, which is why the 5-axis machines have been automated with WH 6 Cell workpiece handling. Scalable automation solutions for online commerce The growth in online commerce in recent years has led to a growing demand for intel- ligent storage solutions that can manage large order volumes quickly and efficiently. Based on these requirements, Attabot- ics has developed patented products and solutions that offer high density storage and work with extremely fast robots. “Our three- dimensional storage systems reduce space requirements by up to 85 percent,” explains Scott Gravelle, CEO Attabotics. “Our solutions are also freely scalable, which means that the storage capacity and flow of goods can be DMU 50 3rd GENERATION WITH WH 6 CELL: 15 WORK- PIECE CARRIERS FOR UP TO 6 KG adapted to growing requirements at any time.” Attabotics is thus able to guarantee consist- ently high productivity for storage logistics.

CUSTOMER STORY – ATTABOTICS 1 2 1. Automated manufacturing allows Attabotics to meet its high demand for base columns and other components, even at full capacity. 2. The automated loading and unloading of the DMU 50 3rd Generation achieves high production capacity and more manufacturing flexibility. 34 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE Higher R&D capacity thanks to automated in-house manufacturing The automated loading and unloading of the DMU 50 3rd Generation achieves high produc- tion capacity and more manufacturing flex- ibility. “We want to manufacture as many of our components as possible in-house, but at the same time we want to invest in research and development,” says Scott Gravelle, out- lining the challenge. Automated manufactur- ing offers this flexibility. “Particularly when it comes to the development of new products, we can perfectly draw on the expertize of our CNC team.” Automated production is one of the factors that enables Attabotics to offer a vertically oriented and comprehensive range of ser- vices, Scott Gravelle emphasizes: “They include research and development, design and actual production including CNC machin- ing, robotic assembly and testing of the prod- ucts.” Installation and commissioning of the 3D storage system at the customer’s site rounds off the offer. Attabotics thus supplies everything from a single source, which also applies to DMG MORI in the area of auto- mated manufacturing. Expansion with automated 5-axis technology from DMG MORI In addition to the six storage solutions installed in North America so far, other com- panies from a range of industries are test- ing Attabotics’ 3D storage platform. Scott Gravelle looks ahead optimistically: “As we are also able to cool our 3D storage, the sys- tem is also applicable to the food industry.” Deep-freeze solutions with end-to-end cool- ing are also under development. “This means the signs are good that we will soon be able to drastically increase our production output.” Existing production could be expanded by WH 6 workpiece handling in the future to achieve this: “Automated 5-axis machining centers such as the DMU 50 3rd Generation or the compact DMP 70 could also ensure efficient manufacturing in this area.” «

CUSTOMER STORY – MAPAL KOMPETENZZENTRUM SPANNTECHNIK COMPETITIVE PRICES THANKS TO WORKPIECE HANDLING WTE Präzisonstechnik from Ehrenfrieders- dorf started producing precision drill chucks in 1999 with just 12 employees. Since then the number has increased to 170 employ- ees. Continuous development and integra- tion into the international MAPAL Group in 2008 have helped the company grow into a renowned partner for clamping technology. Today, MAPAL's clamping technology com- petence center relies on machine tools from DMG MORI, 17 machines in total. As recently as 2019 three new turning centers were installed to expand capacity: an NZX 2000 and an NLX 2500, which operates automat- ically via a gantry loader and an NLX 2000 with bar loader. “The innovative clamping technology of WTE Präzisionstechnik was a decisive factor for its integration into the MAPAL Group”, recalls Ralf Wackenhut, at the time of the interview Managing Director of WTE Präzisionstechnik GmbH, today head of the Digital Operations division at the headquarters of Mapal Group in Aalen:“This allowed us to complete the product portfolio and position ourselves as a full-service provider in the market.” WTE Präzisionstechnik produces many different chucks, drill chucks and shrink fit chucks for both key MAPAL customers as well as for the trade. “On one hand this means production quantities for the trade are easy to plan and on the other we have to be able to respond flexibly to short lead-time orders directly from customers.” Intelligent processes are necessary for flexibility in production Ralf Wackenhut sees maintaining quality- oriented production, despite these flexible demands, as the main challenge: “Intelli- gent processes are the key”, he claims. With machining centers and turning machines from DMG MORI, WTE Präzisionstechnik already achieves final contour dimensions to DIN standard of less than five µm when machining materials in their soft state. Thanks to the automated NLX and NZX we can now handle last-minute requests promptly. And achieve even higher quality. Graduate engineer (FH), MBA Ralf Wackenhut 42 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

CUSTOMER STORY – MAPAL KOMPETENZZENTRUM SPANNTECHNIK This is also true of the NLX 2000 with bar loader: “The two gantry solutions are used exclusively for finishing pre-machined work- pieces. We then have the option of machining parts from bar for the most part automatically on the smaller NLX 2000 with bar loader. 40 % reduction in throughput times due to turning and milling in one clamping In view of the complex chucks that WTE Präzisionstechnik produces, the versatile machining options of the turning centers – i. e. turning and sophisticated milling oper- ations in a single clamping – were decisive for Ralf Wackenhut. The direct-drive, pow- erful BMT turret rotates cutters at up to 10,000 rpm. “Formerly we needed several process steps on different machines for both front- and reverse-end machining. Achieving this on just two machines has led to a 40 % reduction in throughput times, which in turn has had a favorable impact on the speed of our response. Fewer clampings mean that rejects almost only occur due to tool wear. We could, of course, machine the workpieces completely on all 6 sides on the machines – however, we decided on a sequential pro- cess instead to ensure better utilization of machine capacity.” Ralf Wackenhut is optimistic that WTE Präzisionstechnik will continue to grow in the future: “We have sufficient space avail- able and can find good skilled workers when we need them. Or we train them ourselves.” The company takes on three to four trainees a year. “They include more and more women”, says the managing director, clearly pleased with the interest shown by female applicants in technical professions. Fit for the future – Additive manufacturing produces new products for tool clamping Ralf Wackenhut also looks to the future where technology is concerned. “We see great poten- tial in additive manufacturing”, he says, with reference to the LASERTEC SLM machines from DMG MORI. One example of this is WTE Präzisionstechnik’s innovative hydraulic clamping technology. Hydraulic chucks have internal channels in which oil is used to build up pressure to clamp the tool. The technology damps vibrations, ensures high concentricity and requires very low maintenance. The small hydraulic chucks cannot be produced by con- ventional methods due to the extremely fine channels: “There is no alternative to powder bed additive manufacturing in this case. That is why we contacted DMG MORI.” « WTE Präzisionstechnik produces the sophisticated chucks in batch sizes of 100.

CUSTOMER STORY – TOP GRADE MOLDS LTD. AUTOMATED ONE-OFF AND SMALL BATCH PRODUCTION As a full service provider in toolmaking, Top Grade Molds, Ltd., founded in 1964, pro- vides its customers with comprehensive support from initial development to the final tool tryout. Injection molds for rigid plastic packaging, for example as used in the food industry, is the core business. The Canadian company from Mississauga, Ontario (near Toronto), employs 150 well- trained specialists to meet the high quality standards of the industry. Top Grade Molds meets the precision requirements with modern machine tools from DMG MORI. Since 2011, the company has installed 13 models from the machine tool man- ufacturer, including several duoBLOCK machines and one NHX 10000, as well as four NHX 5000, which are highly automated with the help of two linear pallet pools (LPP) – which increased the productivity of Top Grade Molds literally overnight. “As a manufacturing service provider in tool and mold making, we machine one-offs and small batches,” Vince Ciccone, Presi- dent and CEO of Top Grade Molds, explains when describing the day-to-day production. Co-operation with customers often begins in the product development phase. In order to remain competitive, he says, it is necessary to react flexibly and implement efficient pro- duction. “Turning and milling constitute by far the largest share of machining at 80 percent. In DMG MORI, we have found a real partner in this field.” Uniform control and production technology from DMG MORI There were two main reasons why Top Grade Molds started investing in machine tools from DMG MORI in 2011. On the one hand, the wide product range offers suitable manufacturing solutions for almost every application. Vince Ciccone says: “On the other hand, we wanted to establish a consistent control system.” Independent of the underlying control system, CELOS offers a uniform and clear interface. “This makes training on new machines much easier.” The range of different jobs fulfilled by the DMG MORI models is also an impor- tant factor: “We always have new orders and often set up the machines anew. Large tool magazines and good accessibility also give us the necessary flexibility.” AUTOMATED AND FLEXIBLE NHX and duoBLOCK – process reliability in tool and mold making Vince Ciccone sees the key to optimum production in machining the demanding high-precision components for injection molds with the required precision and, We are constantly looking for innovative solutions to optimize our processes and open up new markets.

INTERVIEW – MR. THÖNES & MR. GEIßLER 80 % HIGHER VOLUMETRIC ACCURACY Productivity and precision are a key part of DMG MORI’S DNA. Why this is so and the relevance of µPrecision and VCS Com- plete are explained by Christian Thönes, Chairman of the Board of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, and Alfred Geißler, Managing Director of DECKEL MAHO Pfronten. Mr. Thönes, what does precision mean for DMG MORI? Thönes: Productivity and precision are a key part of DMG MORI’S DNA. We always strive for maximum quality and precision with max- imum conservation of resources. And we live up to this claim – as is shown not least in the sustained success that has made us a leading manufacturer in the machine tool sector. Where does precision begin for you and how, in your view, is DMG MORI positioned in the area of precision? Thönes: I see accuracy not only in relation to products and production, but holistically. Precision is essential in all our corporate divisions. One main reason for our lasting success is precision in the overall process of the machine, in the process chain within our daily business and in customer projects. The innate high precision of the duoBLOCK and Portal machine series serves as the basis PRODUCTIVITY AND ACCURACY IS IN OUR DNA for this µPrecision package. These machines have a rigid construction, are thermo-sym- metrically designed and are manufactured and installed with the highest precision. The already extensive cooling in the standard version of the machines has been extended to include numerous additional measures. Further cooling measures, the Thermoshield and coolant temperature control are used as far as the hardware is concerned. This is further refined with accurately adjusted linear guideways and a volumetric calibra- tion system. What does the optional µPrecision program package consist of? Thönes: The µPrecision feature for milling machines includes further optimizations of the hardware. While until recently the sup- port for the guideways was scraped by hand – a process that took over 500 hours – this is now achieved using shims. Their positioning is simulated with the aid of software to enable precise mounting. This results in flatness and straightness of the linear guideways of less than 3 µm. What other features does the µPrecision option offer? Geißler: Temperature control of the cool- ant and lubricant are part of the µPrecision 52 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

INTERVIEW – MR. THÖNES & MR. GEIßLER What accuracy can be achieved with the µPrecision program package? Geißler: With µPrecision we achieve position- ing accuracy down to 3 µm and a volumetric accuracy of less than 13 µm throughout the entire work area. The achievable accura- cies on the workpiece can be even further enhanced and stabilized by our Tool Control Center (TCC). Highlights of TCC include chip detection on the face and taper and monitor- ing of the drawbar clamping force. Cutting edge control in-process by monitoring the symmetry of the bending moment per cutting edge and visualization of the bending moment over time via a graph are additional features of TCC worth mentioning. What accuracy do the respective DMG MORI machines achieve without µPrecision? Thönes: Without µPrecision the DMU 80 P duoBLOCK achieves a positioning accuracy in the linear axes of 5 µm instead of down to 3 µm with µPrecision. In the case of the DMU 340 P, positioning accuracy is 15 µm without µPrecision in the linear axes, that is 80 percent more than with µPrecision. In which sectors is maximum precision important? Thönes: The level of precision that we offer at DMG MORI is required especially in the aer- ospace industry, for landing gear and turbine parts, for example, as well as in mechanical engineering for high-precision wafer fix- tures and the like. The die & mold and the semiconductor industries are also among our target groups. µPrecision is available for the duoBLOCK and Portal series, i. e. in all 5-axis machines in the sizes from 800 mm to 3.4 meters. Why doesn’t the competition have anything comparable? Thönes: Competitors could in fact purchase the hardware components. But the highlight and know-how lies in the finely tuned kinematics and the compensation tables. This is where we have the requisite expertize that the com- petition simply does not have to such an extent. What is the additional cost of the option? Thönes: The additional cost depends on the size of the machine, its configuration and the requirements of the customer. Depending on the equipment package, the price starts from around 180,000 Euros. 54 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE The technology cycle for volumetric accuracy, VCS Complete, also offers an advantage in precision ... Thönes: and VCS Complete is far less expen- sive than the µPrecision package. This tech- nology cycle only costs around 10,000 Euros. The investment in this feature amortizes within a year. In the event of a collision, the geometry of the machine can be checked simply and independently and if necessary compensated again. Service technicians no longer need to take the machine out of oper- ation for up to three days and recalibrate it. Calibration using VCS Complete takes less than an hour. The process can be carried out at short notice – if parts with especially high quality requirements are to be produced, for example. The machine operator needs no special training. Brief instruction during commissioning and the touch of a button are all it takes. Whoever buys this option boosts productivity while sav- ing time and money at the same time. What makes VCS Complete so special? Geißler: VCS Complete detects volumetric deviations in the work area and compen- sates for them to ensure higher accuracy over the entire service life of the machine. An inserted measuring probe identifies 180 different positions and compares them with theoretical target positions. This results in a best-fit comprising linear scale compen- sation, diagonal compensation and optimiza- tion of the kinematics, in other words correc- tion of the distance between the spindle and the machine table. Put simply: The machine calibrates itself – in all axes.

Torsten Heil Managing Director CNC-Technik Heil GmbH Complex precision components are the specialty of CNC-Technik Heil GmbH from Remscheid, which was founded in 2018. Customers from general mechanical engi- neering, motor sport and aviation trust in the expertize of the managing director Torsten Heil and his team. The company produces prototypes and small batches of sophis- ticated workpieces made of aluminum, stainless steel, cast-iron and Inconel on two DMU monoBLOCK machines in a fully air-conditioned hall. CNC-Technik Heil achieves this high level of precision with the aid of the DMG MORI Technology Cycle VCS Complete to calibrate the volu- metric accuracy. High-precision prototype production thanks to monoBLOCK machines “The challenge for us lies in the program- ming of complex geometries and, of course, in the tight tolerances”, says Torsten Heil about his day-to-day production. Using their experience and machining competence, he and his team produce high-quality com- ponents and support their customers with advice when they see potential for optimiz- ing production. Another fundamental for high machining quality is the use of the latest CNC technology – in this case in the form of two DMU monoBLOCK machining centers. from DMU monoBLOCK: High-precision 5-axis simultaneous machining Since 2007, when he started working for himself, Torsten Heil has bought 14 machining centers the Pfronten plant. He was won over in particular by the DMU monoBLOCK models: “The machine concept allows optimum utilization of the work area and the simple kinematics based on a swivelling rotary table simplify pro- gramming of 5-axis simultaneous cycles.” The sturdy construction of the monoBLOCK machines, comprehensive cooling and direct drive in the C-axis all contribute to guaranteeing a high level of consistent long- term accuracy. The DMU 75 monoBLOCK and DMU 95 monoBLOCK have provided clear proof of this since their installation in 2018. 56 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

DMG MORI installed a CGV-6 at the begin- ning of 2019. The vertical grinding machine from TAIYO KOKI grinds inside diameters of between ø 50 and ø 600 mm and outside diameters up to ø 600 mm. Another advantage compared to other grinding machines is the pallet changer for up to three pallets and the tool magazine: “It means we can use several grinding tools with a single spindle.” DMC 125 FD duoBLOCK – milling, turning and grinding to 0.4 µm Ra Grinding also found its way into the mill- ing area when HAVLAT put a DMC 125 FD duoBLOCK into operation, also in 2019. The machining center is equipped with grinding capability. “So we have the possibility to turn, mill and finally grind rotary tables or docking flanges, for example”, explains Norbet Heinz. The grinding cycle enables internal, external and face grinding as well as dressing of the grinding wheel. “We achieve surface qualities down to 0.4 µm Ra and circularity of 5 µm.” Thanks to this complete machining, the com- pany can produce complex precision compo- nents competitively.

Its volu- metric accuracy is 13 µm and its positioning accuracy is 4 µm in all axes. “The purchase resulted from the demanding requirements of customers”, explains Lars Friedrich the investment. “As our components are essen- tial for the precision of machine tools, we want to get the maximum quality from our Equipped with grinding capability, the DMC 125 FD duoBLOCK achieves surface qualities down to 0.4 µm Ra and circularity of 5 µm. HAVLAT has concluded a DMG MORI Full Service agreement for all of the machines: the TAIYO KOKI CGV-6, the DMU 125 FD duoBLOCK and the DMU 210 µPrecision, in order to guarantee reliable production with minimum downtime. 60 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

CUSTOMER STORY – RIEMANN GMBH OVER 20 YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL GROWTH WITH DMG MORI The family company Riemann GmbH from Georgsmarienhütte has established itself as a reliable tool making and machining partner since 1988. Large OEMs, including those from the automotive industry, agri- cultural sector and mechanical engineering in general, rely on the expertize of a team of almost 50 experienced specialists. The sustained growth of the company led to a doubling of its production area in 2017 and further expansion of its capacity. Machin- ing comprises XXL machines such as the DMU 340 P and DMU 600 P plus a DMU 90 P duoBLOCK for smaller workpieces. A DMU 340 Gantry linear, the eighth DMG MORI model in total, will be put into operation in the fourth quarter of 2020. Full customer care as the basis for success As a manufacturer of tools for sheet metal working, Riemann is keenly aware of the quality parameters that the complex tools depend upon. “Together with our customers, we develop the tool concept that is right for them and know how to maximize the tool’s service life and precision. In this respect, precision and surface quality are key – one reason why we have relied on DMG MORI for over 20 years,” says Michael Riemann. Together with his brother Peter Riemann, he runs the company their father founded. The automotive industry in particular represents a large share of their sales: “On one hand, this places stringent demands on quality and precision and, on the other, the competitive pressure is enormous.” Riemann follows an overarching strategy to meet these high demands. “Already dur- ing the planning phase, we consider all the options available to design the entire pro- cess to be efficient and customer orientated,” explains Michael Riemann. The design and manufacturing process is all about continu- ously optimizing all workflows. “Before a tool leaves our plant, we test it in our 2,500-ton press.” Assembly and service complete the 62 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE

DMG MORI ensures the required long-term accuracy with cooled linear guideways and active compensation for potential spindle misalignment. The space-saving wheel mag- azine offers space for 123 tools. “This allows us to significantly reduce our setup times.” The work area of the DMU 340 P measures 3,400 × 3,400 × 1,600 mm and table load is up to 16 t. “This makes the machine the perfect size between the DMU 600 P and the smaller DMU 200 P, exactly right for many cubic tool components,” says Michael Riemann. DMU 340 Gantry linear: HSC machining in XXL format Right next to the DMU 340 P, the foundations have already been completed for another large machine from DMG MORI, which will be put into service in the fourth quarter of 2020: the DMU 340 Gantry linear with travels of 3,400 × 2,800 × 1,250 mm. The XXL model offers maximum rigidity due to its one-piece thermo-symmetrical machine bed and the overhead gantry design with uniform mov- ing masses. “In combination with the lin- ear drives in the X- and Y-axes, we achieve high surface quality when HSC machining,” explains Michael Riemann. Another reason for this acquisition was the high table load of up to 30 t.

Anna Wöhler consid- ers the productivity of the NHX horizontal machining center to be a further plus point: “We can clamp a tower that can be loaded with components on all four sides. This drastically reduces setup times.” The introduction of NHX machines meant that many workpieces could be moved from vertical to horizontal machining centers. “The pallet changer is also a decisive factor. Setup during produc- tion allows us to maximize machine utiliza- tion.” This advantage quickly becomes appar- ent, particularly for large series production. Expansion of capacity in all areas: 5-axis machining and bar turning The high investment in the machines can also be seen in all other production areas at Hübner: The team manufactures compo- nents on ten 5-axis simultaneous DMG MORI models, including the DMF travelling col- umn machines, the four DMU 60 eVos, as REDUCED SETUP TIMES THANKS TO MULTIPLE WORKHOLDING ARRANGEMENTS well as the MILLTAP 700 compact machin- ing centers and a DMP 70 with WH 3 Cell. “We have been using several MILLTAP 700 machines for some time now, two of which are also automated,” says Hans-Georg

They were also impressed with the performance and build of the LASERTEC 12 SLM: “The closed powder circuit is a big advantage, as it provides us with excellent and consistent control of the respective powders.” Moreover, the precision of the powder bed machine in combination with the large build volume were also deci- sive factors. “A focal spot diameter of 35 µm LABVISION produces implants, prostheses and frameworks for dentists and dental laboratories. LABVISION, from Bucharest, Romania, was launched in 2014 to consolidate the distribution of intra-oral and lab scanners and modeling software with the manufac- ture of high-quality dental prostheses and implants. The 15-strong team combines extensive expertize and many years of expe- rience in clinical dentistry technology with professional skills in modern CAD / CAM manufacturing processes.

CUSTOMER STORY – SULZER MANAGEMENT LTD. 25-FOLD SHORTER LEAD TIMES THANKS TO DED HYBRID TECHNOLOGY It’s all upwards from here – Sulzer’s indi- vidual pump solutions in the oil and gas, energy and water treatment sectors can reach several thousand meters of head. Founded in 1834 in Winterthur, Switzer- land, the company has been developing pumps for industrial applications since 1860. Sulzer also concentrates on the manufacture of complex rotating components as well as on separation, mixing and application tech- nologies. With 180 production and service locations worldwide and 16,500 employees, the company works closely with its custom- ers and takes innovative approaches to man- ufacturing, as demonstrated by the acqui- sition of a LASERTEC 65 3D hybrid (NEW: DED hybrid) from DMG MORI. Sulzer has been setting new standards in the manu- facture of impellers using laser metal dep- osition since 2018. Blade wheels are among the most heavily stressed components in pumps designed by Sulzer. Particulates in the liquids and acids can cause enormous wear. Nevertheless, the components are designed for a service life of 20 years. “The systems work much longer, however,” explains Robin Rettberg, who is responsible for manufacturing technologies at Sulzer. “If an impeller like this has to be replaced, our customers need a spare part quickly.” As these are mostly custom-made products, the company is unable to simply rely on its stocks. Conventional process – 25 weeks lead-time The challenge with impellers lies in their complex geometry. The conventional man- ufacturing process includes the design and production of a mold, casting of the raw part Sulzer uses SIEMENS NX for CAD and CAM programming. Even at this early stage, there is a need for new ways of thinking about additive manufacturing to achieve optimal results. The original manufacturing process for complex impellers took as long as 25 weeks due to the production of the casting mold. Additive manufacturing on the LASERTEC 65 3D hybrid reduces this to less than a week. 76 TECHNOLOGY E XCELLENCE The ability to add material and mill workpieces alternately means that impellers can be manufactured with channels that run up to 360 degrees around the wheel. and then final machining of the impeller, but it is not possible to reach all areas of the raw part using traditional methods. “The impel- lers have channels that sometimes run up to 360 degrees around the wheel,” says Robin Rettberg. The complex process could take a total of at least 25 weeks. 1 WEEK LEAD – TIME INSTEAD OF 25 WEEKS New way of process optimization and increased efficiency through hybrid manufacturing When additive manufacturing had devel- oped into a serious production alternative, Sulzer began to look at the different pro- cesses. While the first powder bed solutions involved difficulties in post-processing and were limited to layers to build up material, in 2018 DMG MORI come up with a solution in the form of a hybrid complete machin- ing concept on a LASERTEC 65 3D hybrid. Based on a 5-axis machining center, the LASERTEC 65 3D hybrid combines additive manufacturing using a powder nozzle with sophisticated and highly precise milling to within microns in one clamping. “This allows us to alternately build almost any geometry in 5 axes and to finish mill impor- tant component areas before they are no longer accessible,” says Robin Rettberg, describing the process. “This includes areas that were previously unable to be machined in the casting.” Improved surfaces allow
