HAIMER at EMO 2025 (Hall 4, Booth C08): This is how modern tool management works in the Tool Room of the Future
Automation reduces the workload for skilled workers
In addition to digitization, automation is also a major topic at this year’s EMO booth. As already presented at the last EMO and AMB, HAIMER is showcasing its fully automated Automation Cube One. It automatically performs the shrinking, unshrinking and measuring of tool assemblies and can manage up to three different tool interfaces simultaneously. Up to twelve axes are available for the handling. In just a matter of minutes, the Automation Cube One can shrink and unshrink a tool, measure it, and transfer the data to both the machine and databases.
Significant optimizations have been made to the final version now being presented. These include, for example, a modified procedure for inserting the tool into the holder, which eliminates operator errors. This is also achieved by a supplemented Keyence camera system, which checks various features on the tool and ejects the tool in the event of errors. Another new feature is an integrated ultrasonic cleaning bath.
The Automation Cube One is particularly beneficial for companies that perform a high number of tool changes per day. However, automation in tool management makes sense for many users. That is why HAIMER is presenting a more simplified automation cell at EMO, which uses a Fanuc cobot to load and unload a Microset VIO presetting machine. It helps to compensate for the shortage of qualified employees in the field of tooling technology and to automatically measure tools that need to be prepared for an entire order.
Tool clamping of the highest quality and variety
In addition to future-oriented digital and automation developments, HAIMER is also presenting numerous innovations and improvements to its basic components. The HAIMER Hybrid Chuck, first introduced two years ago, is now available in a wide range of lengths and sizes. This revolutionary clamping technology combines vibration-damping characteristics with those of a high-precision, high-performance shrink fit chuck. Numerous trials and long-term tests have demonstrated that it shortens machining times, extends tool life, and significantly boosts productivity.
The Micro Collet Chuck has now also reached full series production. It is suitable for shank diameters from 1 mm and meets customer demands for maximum runout accuracy combined with highest ease of use.
HAIMER has also expanded its range of PSC tool holders with ISO 26623 polygon shanks. In addition to the previously available sizes PSC32/40/50/63, HAIMER PSC80 holders are now also included in the portfolio—self-explanatory with coolant tubes that comply with the latest standard.
Ferocious solid carbide end mill
The new HAIMER Panther MILL solid carbide end mill has recently attracted significant attention. It certainly lives up to its name, as it embodies the key characteristics of its namesake predator: whether side-milling, slotting, trochoidal milling, or ramping, it consistently proves itself to be a fierce and versatile all-rounder, perfectly suited for all steel and stainless materials. Four cutting edges with unequal pitch, optimized cutting edge geometry, a tailored helix angle of 36°/38°, and robust face geometry ensure maximum performance and productivity.
