ANCA presents world premieres, perfect matches, and winners at EMO Hannover 2023

CNC grinding technology pioneers ANCA will showcase their latest products, and industry-specific grinding and automation solutions at EMO (Stand F52, Hall 6). Excitingly, the winner of the renowned Tool of the Year competition will be announced live Wednesday 20 September at 4.30pm (GMT) – and all are welcome to join the celebrations and witness for themselves the ultimate range of cutting tools.

Edmund Boland, ANCA CNC Machines General Manager said, “We are excited to bring not one but several world premieres to EMO, promising premium value, higher productivity and extended capabilities. Visitors can see firsthand ANCA’s latest technology that spans tool precision, integrated manufacturing systems, industry focus applications and optimisation across the process chain.”

ULTRA value – Never ceasing in their commitment to creating the highest quality product, years of continuous refinements at ANCA have made the ULTRA technology possible. ANCA’s unique vertical integration is key to its success – where machines, controls, drives and precision components are all designed and manufactured in-house. Successfully introduced to the industry last year on the MX machine platform, it boasts the highest accuracy and quality cutting tools in the world.

Launching the FX7 ULTRA, the latest game-changing innovation that guarantees perfection for small tools down to 0.1mm – The FX7 ULTRA introduces cutting-edge technologies, including ANCA’s unique nanometer control, that revolutionise precision grinding for small and micro tools down to 0.1mm diameter. This significant technology breakthrough is already redefining the standards for tool and component grinding with the highest levels of accuracy and surface finishes.

Smart automation enables unattended cutting tool production – ANCA has further developed its AIMS system for automated tool production. At EMO, visitors can see examples from the field, with systems operating completely unattended over extended period, manufacturing tools.

From blanks with a surface finish better than 0.2Ra, to ANCA’s GCX Linear which has set the new benchmark for skiving cutter grinding – ANCA’s expertise in grinding solutions extends to blank grinding and integrated complete machining of gear tools, including in-process measuring and compensation. The CPX blank preparation machine will feature productivity-enhancing features in Hannover, including automated loading of tools up to 32mm, a flip station for grinding from both ends, tailstock, and extensive probing enabling statistic process control. The machine has been designed to give users high material removal rates, and save time and money with unattended production.

The Premier Cutting Tool Award – One of the most eagerly awaited events at ANCA’s stand will be the winner announcement of the Tool of the Year 2023 competition. This prestigious competition brings together tool manufacturers from around the globe, who compete for the title of the best real and virtual tools.

EMO 2023 offers an exclusive opportunity for industry professionals to explore ANCA’s latest advancements in grinding technology, witness revolutionary world premieres, and engage with experts from the field. Visitors will also experience exclusive product launches to be revealed at the show.
