How Microtherm is Achieving 168 Hours of Production Per Week with a DN Solutions DVF 5000 and ROBOJOB Automation
As part of MTDCNC’s recent road trip across the Netherlands with Dormac and DN Solutions, we visited Microtherm to see first-hand how the company is embracing automation and lights-out manufacturing to maximise productivity. For many manufacturers, the goal of running unmanned through the night remains just that – a goal. At Microtherm, however, it has become a reality. The company has invested heavily in developing robust manufacturing processes that allow production to continue long after operators have left the building. Every aspect of the operation has been carefully considered, from machining strategies and workholding solutions to automation and process reliability.

Innovative Workholding Solution Solves Deformation Issue
German engineers refer to the root cause of out-of-round, thin-walled parts as “Überbestimmung,” which translates to over-determination. This issue arises when rigid multi-jaw chucks grip thin rings on the shop floor, causing jaws to fight against each other. As a result, parts are forced into strained positions, and walls flex under clamping pressure. While the machining may appear flawless, once the part is unclamped, it relaxes and transforms from perfect to polygonal. The solution, experts suggest, is not to clamp harder but to clamp smarter. HWR’s INOFlex® and INOZet® combination addresses this by offering more points of contact with equal
