EMO Hanover 2007: Best ratings from exhibitors and visitors

More than 166000 visitors came to Hanover between September 17-22 to buy machines placing orders and to see the latest news the metalworking industry had to offer. 4% more visitors attended the show even so it was 2 days shorter than the EMO 2005. HAINBUCH clearly recognized an increase in visitors at their booth. In comparison to the EMO 2005 we had a plus of 34%. 52% of the visitors came from abroad.

Exciting among other things, was of course the granting of the award of the trade journal “Maschinenmarkt” to HAINBUCH for the most innovative development in the category workholding. The award was granted for the newly developed intelligent TOPlus IQ chuck. The jurors therefore acknowledged the pioneering spirit and exceptional engineering performance of the Marbach-based company. Because there has never been a chuck that automatically regulates the clamping force and compensates centrifugal force for precise holding power. The sophisticated sensor technology measures the holding force, transmits the value wirelessly to the receiving station and initiates a correction, if necessary. And not only does the TOPlus IQ chuck require no separate power supply, since the power is generated by the rotation of the chuck; the intelligent chuck also has minimal coefficient of friction due to a refined ball construction and the resulting rolling friction. »Innovation is when the customer says ‘Wow’. Apparently this is the reaction we got from the judges, as well«, explains HAINBUCH Managing Director Gerhard Rall with an impish smile, obviously pleased with the award.
