MÜLLER INTERVIEW: High pressure under a bar feeder.

We redefine the high-pressure unit with the new combiloop CL3 E – also for “under the bar feeder”! Here you can read about all we have to report.

At the beginning of the system partnership between TORNOS and Müller, a few months ago, there was just one basic chip conveyor. But now, TORNOS customers can benefit from the combistream combination of chip conveyor and high-pressure system in one.

In May, the trade publication “fertigung” interviewed Martin Müller. Read the interesting questions and exciting answers on the subject of high pressure in chipping here.

Formed in 1952, the company manufactures high-precision turned parts and assemblies with the utmost accuracy – and from a wide range of demanding materials. And what is the key tool for ensuring process stability and quality? High-pressure filtration!

Whether a new purchase or retrofitting, when it comes to the high pressure for machining the question is always the same one: Can’t there be one single, perfect high pressure that could be used for any and all processing scenarios?

Everyone at Müller wishes you a Happy New Year!

Dear Martin:

Being so close to the Christmas Party and the beginning of a new year, I remember the many years we have known each other and in which we have forged a friendship that surpasses all distances.

How does this sound to you machinists? A tried and tested yet innovative and sustainable solution on your sliding headstock automatic lathes that achieves maximum efficiency through high pressure quickly and smoothly – without having to re-train your employees or adjust your processes every time? Or even risk stoppages because of less than perfect machine communication? Both in the initial equipment and when retrofitting?

High-pressure solutions from Müller have long since turned such lofty aspirations into reality for well over 80% of the sliding headstock automatic lathes from leading manufacturers Citizen, Star, Tsugami and TORNOS.

Covering an area of some 9.6 million km² and with a population of around 1.3 billion people (July 2017), the People's Republic of China is geographically and economically one of the biggest countries in the world. It currently has the second largest gross domestic product in the world (second only to the USA). However, China is much less well-known for being the world's biggest market for sliding headstock automatic lathes – with approx. 7000 units sold a year and an original equipment rate of approx. 15% to high-pressure systems in 2017. And that number is increasing. (To compare: Europe has an original equipment rate of 70–80% with some 1600 machines a year.)
