Fill Machine Engineering presented solutions for the factory of the future with the “Next World Project” at AMB 2024.
The leading international trade fair for metalworking AMB from September 10 to 14, 2024 in Stuttgart was all about structural change in the metalworking and automotive industries. Challenging framework conditions are sparking a dynamic environment. With its “Next World Project”, the Austrian machine engineering company Fill pointed the way to a successful future. The SYNCROMILL C41-63/400 and SYNCROMILL U21-80 machining centers in combination with the digital FILL CYBERNETICS applications impress with their flexibility, efficiency, precision and cost-effectiveness. This enables the production of battery trays and structural components of the latest and future generation from cast aluminum or extrusion profiles in unprecedented quality.
Stuttgart/Gurten, 25 September 2024 - The transformation process in mobility is characterized by technology, changing customer behaviour and stricter regulations. Innovative solutions are needed in this dynamic environment. “Thanks to the process expertise we have built up over decades and our ongoing research and development work, we are an international leader in metalworking. From foundry to machining to assembly technology, we offer a unique complete package. Digitalization and automation play a decisive role in this. With the Next World Project, we are taking the next step towards the factory of the future,” says Friedrich Dallinger, Head of the Metal Machining Technology Competence Center at Fill, setting the direction.
Symbiosis of machines and systems with digital expertise
With the four-spindle SYNCROMILL C41-63/400, FILL presented the ideal solution for high-speed machining with maximum precision. The unique tool change concept ensures the shortest possible change times, while a wide range of configuration variants enable extremely efficient, space-saving and economical production of complex workpieces. The SYNCROMILL U21-80 machining center, which is specially designed for the production of large-volume workpieces such as battery trays or profile frames in the highest quality, could also be experienced live on the Fill exhibition stand. Thanks to two independent three-axis units, each with a horizontal machining spindle, a wide variety of machining operations can be carried out simultaneously on one or more workpieces.
The digital applications from FILL CYBERNETICS for a wide range of production and system requirements store all relevant machine parameters of a SYNCROMILL machine or a Fill system. This allows both the condition and the efficiency of the machines and processes for production, maintenance and planning to be continuously analyzed, which in turn leads to a continuous increase in production quality and efficiency. The FILL SERVICE PLATFORM offers a digital service to continuously support the workflow and productivity. All relevant information on Fill machines and systems can be called up 24 hours a day.
