Our Product research and development team is continuously working on developing our CNC machines into better CNC lathes and milling machines. They want to highlight some of the special projects they have been working on.

The R&D is very proud of this unique milling machine: the BT4000 FE (Full Enclosed). This is the biggest fully enclosed machine that we have produced so far. We have delivered this machine to a German customer: CvG Zerspanungstechnik GmbH who have their main focus on the production of small and middle size series and on manufacturing assemblies such as hydraulic cylinders.

Another big project our R&D worked on is the STYLE 2280 CNC lathe. This lathe with a distance between the centers of 3000 mm is the biggest lathe with this kind of turning diameter we have ever built so far. They have worked intensively with the customer for over a year to come to the perfect machine for their products namely composite industrial components. Our assembly team made the machine in only four weeks time.

This one-of-a-kind project for our customer Bunge from Amsterdam the team has created a unique product. Bunge Netherlands is a company that is a processor of oilseeds.

The soybeans are crushed on rollers into ‘flakes’. Soybeans are a very hard product which causes the rollers to wear very quickly and to wear uneven. The rollers are now ground, which is a time-consuming and uncontrolable process.

A year and a half ago we took on the challenge with Bunge to develop a CNC turning machine that can be placed on the existing rolling units. The aim was to machine a roller in a straight line and parallel to the other roller within 2 hours in a controlled process.

After a year of development and half a year of testing and further development, we have successfully completed the machining tests and have delivered the machine with success to the customer.

The SMTS consists of a solid welded frame with linear guide and a double z-support to process the front and rear rollers of the roller unit.

The SMTS consists of a solid welded frame with linear guide and a double z-support to process the front and rear rollers of the roller unit. Both Z-supports have their own Z-axis ball screws that are controlled by one FANUC servo motor. KM linear actuators from PMI are mounted on the Z-support base plates. These actuators are equipped with linear guide and ball screw in one unit for the minimum installation space required. U-shaped milled plates are mounted on top of the linear actuators to create X-supports that are as strong and stable as possible. On the ends of the X-supports, a STYLE quick change system with an air-cooled Boremeister vibration-free bar is mounted with a Double-sided trigon CBN insert from Tungaloy Benelux b.v.

This entire construction ensures stable machining of difficult-to-machine rollers within the set time. In addition, the machining interval is increased and the rollers last twice as long. All in all a very satisfied customer!

Kolmer has been the supplier of electric motors for almost 40 years. In addition to supplying standard electric motors, electric motors are also designed and modified according to the wishes and requirements of the customer. Since its foundation, they have been working with engines from Cantoni Motor and Cemp. The permanent force for flexible power: they are always looking for the most effective and efficient solution. Kolmer supplies customer-specific motors with current technologies. This requires knowledge, skills and experience during the design and development phase. Their dedicated and experienced team carries out this craftsmanship for the most diverse applications.

Delivery time is still an issue in today’s economy and the demand for customer-specific modifications is increasing. This must of course be carried out flawlessly because technical specialists are scarce and everything stands or falls with a tight running process.

This is exactly the reason why Kolmer has purchased a STYLE CNC 510 lathe – optimal for making single pieces and small series. “This allows us as a company to further unburden our customers and that is why we also have to optimize our own processes. This automated machine creates specific axes that are read in on the basis of design drawings. The drawings are made by our engineering department, but the customer’s own drawing can also be used for this.”

Our software research and development team is continuously working on the software creating new innovative functions for our unique STYLE control. They want to highlight three recently developed features.

The workpiece probe tool is used to determine the workpiece position on the machine. Using several cycles, the operator can determine the workpiece origin.

The tool settings probe can be used to determine if a tool is broken. A cycle can be added to automatically measure the tool length after the process. In case the tool length differs, an alarm is generated.

For example, this can be used when a drill and tap process is executed. The length of the drill tool can be checked after the drill process has finished. In case the length of the drill is not correct, the machine can be stopped automatically instead of continuing on to the tap cycle.

Note: fracture detection is available from software version 2023.

This function can be enabled during editing. While machining, the main spindle will vary in speed which prevents vibrations in the material. This is particularly useful when machining long axes.

Note: SSV is available from software version 2022

For finishing cycles an automatic stop can be programmed between finishing cuts. The machine stops at which point the operator can measure the part. If measurements are not according to specs, the milling tool diameter can be corrected on the fly.

This way, the operator can make sure that the next finishing cut will be executed within tolerance.

Note: automatic measuring stop is available from software version 2021

STYLE CNC Machines is known as a Dutch machine builder with its own CNC control system, aimed at the efficient production of single pieces and small series. The STYLE control has been developed by STYLE’s own R&D department, where the strength lies in the easy-to-learn and use software.

For the entire product line of all machines The STYLE control is the same. In recent years, in collaboration with the R&D department of FANUC, there has been a development to combine the power of FANUC with the control of STYLE. FANUC is the largest supplier on the market of CNC controls, drive systems and motors and also supplies industrial robots and a number of its own machines such as the Robocut (EDM machine) and Roboshot (servo-controlled injection molding machine) for the automation of the manufacturing industry. Through this collaboration, we enhance the quality and safety of our control, and we can rely on FANUC’s reliability.

During the market research, STYLE supported us correctly in the choice of machine type and associated options. Once a correct picture was created of what might be the solution to our need, we were duly informed in further detail with brochures, clear offer and a reference visit.

Sustainability is one of the most important topics today. We have made it our goal to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions from our machines.

Our machines help save energy and production costs. With our unique STYLE software and machines, we can help you reduce your carbon footprint. The STYLE control is a control that can always be up to date through an upgrade. As a result, we create a situation in which STYLE customers can always work with up-to-date software at a very affordable price.This means that even a ten year old STYLE machine can work with the features of today’s STYLE software.

Another important way to save energy, is that we give power back to the electricity network.
Excess energy generated when braking main spindles and shaft motors is initially used in the system where necessary.
If there is excess energy capacity that does not need to be used by the machine itself, it is supplied back to the grid.

CNC machines are automated cutting tools that are widely used in the manufacturing, production, and engineering industries. These machines are programmed using a computer to control their movements and perform complex and precise cutting and shaping operations on various materials.

CNC lathes and CNC milling machines are two of the most common types of CNC machines. CNC lathes are used to produce circular shapes and are ideal for turning, drilling, and tapping. CNC milling machines, on the other hand, are used to produce linear shapes and are ideal for cutting, drilling, and milling.
