Large-scale and German Engineered

BigRep is pleased to introduce the latest addition to its range of additive manufacturing solutions – the BigRep PRO. German-made for speed and precision, the PRO is a machine for industrial solutions.

BigRep has designed and manufactured a machine that prints with engineering-grade materials to ensure users can manufacture the applications they need, in large scale. The PRO is an industrial 3D printer that responds to market demands.

Whether it’s functional prototypes, composite tooling or end-use products, the PRO delivers, with a range of new features, including a state-of-the-art Bosch CNC system, new Metering Extruder Technology (MXT®), an enclosed build chamber and temperature-controlled filament chambers.

The PRO was inspired by the ONE and STUDIO 3D printers, winners of multiple awards including the German Brand Award 2018, the German Innovation Award 2018 and the German Design Award 2016.

The EcoCwave is a powerful spray flood cleaning system with a vacuum-tight work chamber. At the user’s option, it can be equipped for either two or three independent cleaning steps. The use of upright cylindrical flood tanks,which have been developed for fine cleaning applications, ensure an optimized fluid management, a high flexibility and improved process quality.

Offering a choice of two different work chamber sizes, the system enables you to make-up your individual specific batches. Therefore per-unit product costs are minimized. For your EcoCwave machine, Ecoclean offers an extensive range of options which are individually selectable to suit your requirements.

The Form 2 delivers high-resolution parts at a fraction of the cost and footprint of industrial 3D printers. Scale your prototyping and production in-house with desktop stereolithography.

The most reliable 3D printer ever created, the Form 2 works as hard as you do so you can focus on developing innovative products and bringing your most creative ideas to life. 3D print strong, detailed models with stunning surface finish.

The FEM-optimised, thermally stable cast iron construction of the VIO linear series ensures accurate measuring results and equipment longevity. In addition, highly dynamic, wear-free linear drives ensure accurate long-term quality. The parallel drive and guidance system ensures optimal distribution of forces and guarantees measurement repeatability of ±2 μm.

Moreover, optimise process reliability in your production with fully automatic measurement processes. The holistic device concept allows for integration in all production processes, including existing ones.

The traditional interface for milling spindles ASME B5.50 distinguishes itself through its extremely robust design. Its field of application ranges from fine machining to heavy duty roughing.

The tool holder is pulled in the milling spindle with the help of an additional pull stud. The centering takes place via the taper contact. Therefore, the ASME B5.50 steep taper interface is primarily suitable for applications with a spindle speed of up to 12,000 rpm.

After chamfering with the patented ChamferCut technology, no additional machining is necessary. There is no need for a second cut, which is often required during the deformation-based deburring process for the removal of build-up material. With the chamfering process, the exact chamfer form is produced. In contrast to deformation-based processes, the material structure is not affected. An optimal starting point is created for the subsequent finishing of hardened gears, particularly gear honing. The quality of such chamfers defines a new standard – with maximum repetitive accuracy.

Chamfered edges of gears prevent damage during workpiece transport, heat treatment cracks and gear wear. They facilitate the assembly process and improve the tool life. Chamfering with ChamferCut delivers a high-quality chamfer with repetitive accuracy – and is more cost-effective compared to press deburring and deburring with end mills. Chamfering is very popular among car and commercial vehicle manufacturers, as well as in gear and engine manufacturing. The process can also be integrated into existing production systems.

With the machines LS 80 – LS 180 Liebherr is introducing a new series of production gear shaping machines. The performance and flexibility of these machines are optimized for high production requirements.

The machines are based on a common modular platform with proven components from the hobbing machine platform. Especially noteworthy are the direct table drive and the thermo-symetric, liquid-circulated machine bed.

For small face width parts, a RAPID version with max. 3000 strokes/min. is available. For tapered gears all models can be equipped with a swivel-type column for up to 12 swivel angle.

For the dry machining process, efficient and fast chip separation is a major prerequisite. The process energy involved and the disposal of hot chips should not adversely affect the geometry of the machine. The redesigned work area with stainless steel lining improves the chip discharge.

The extremely short cutting times require short loading and unloading times. Modular automation systems are available for various types of workpieces, supplemented by integrated and peripheral workpiece storage systems.
