The german brothers and high leveled do-it-yourself-workers Paul and Hansen Hoepner are adventurers with passion. With their self-made amphibious vehicle called "Urmel", they want to cross Alaska in half a year, from the southern Aleutian Islands to Prudhoe Bay high in the north. Paul and Hansen have already completed numerous test drives with the prototype in rough terrain and will start their adventure this fall.

The vehicle based on a tri-wheel construction is still largely made of metal, has 12 wheels, 4 axles and 4 cranks for height adjustment. In the final vehicle many heavy metal components will be replaced by carbon parts to reduce the weight, so that it can be moved more efficient with the leg strength from the twin brothers. 'Urmel' will be produced in an impressive machine-park which was increased piece by piece during the years. Of course with some help from well-experienced sponsors. Companies like CNC-Step, Igus or Siegmund provide technical fabric and advices.

The imperfect circularity of radius cutters can negatively impact machining outcomes. This is because errors in tool geometry cause a discrepancy between the actual point of tool-to-workpiece contact and the one calculated by the control.

The 3D-ToolComp option improves accuracy by employing three-dimensional tool-radius compensation to counteract deviations in tool circularity. What’s more, 3D-ToolComp enables such exact three-dimensional calibration of a touch probe that it can then measure free-form surfaces with the required level of accuracy.

The eager communication in our beloved forum is always very impressive. A few thousand users from all over the worl give advice, hints and valuebale comments every day and help each other with solving their problems. Thanks a lot for the participation. A few questions unfortunately always remain without any answer. Possibly they´re not visible for the right experts, because they are not following the discussions in this special forum or they are not online every day. We want to give these threads another chance to receive helpful replies.

Obviously the month July is not the most popular time to organize important trade shows and fairs in Europe and North America. So the focus is in the moment on Asia. For example in Qingdao / China the International Machine Tools Exhibition 2019 will be held from 18th - 22nd of July. Visitors can explore innovative ideas and brandnew products of more than 1,200 exhibitors from all over the world. The exhibition covers an area of roundabout 100,000 square meters and more than 100,000 visitors are expected. The exhibition shows machine tools, precision equipment, welding and cutting tools, metal materials, petrochemical, Marine equipment, high-grade CNC machine tools, basic manufacturing equipment and so on.

Are you looking for a used machine? Take a look at our used machinery market, no matter if you need one for hobby or professional. Filter among more than 7,200 products by machine type, operating hours or price to find the machine you are searching for, quickly and precisely.

Hot and sunny days in summer are always nice if you can relax on these days. Maybe at a pool party or a nice barbecue afternoon with friends. And for hot days you need cool drinks. A nice cocktail, for example, can be great, but producing cocktails requires a lot of effort, knowledge of cocktail recipes, and of course a lot of time.

Wouldn´t it be fantastic to have your own computerized bartender for these situations? So you just have to press a few buttons and automatically get the cocktail you want? This video shows you an interesting way to create your own computer-controlled cocktail maker. Certainly a good solution for every garden and pool party.

Our forum doesn´t need summer holidays. It´s active 365 days a year. For our members it is always a high welcome platform for the exchange of advice, hints and videos for the daily work with machines of all kinds. And at this point we want to honor again our top posters of the last four weeks.
