NEW FROM MODIG MACHINE TOOL SWEDEN
MODIG have released their HHV Duo and 2-axis saw option.
Recently we have seen the automotive industry’s desire to upgrade the existing machining capabilities to receive a higher throughput. With the new MODIG HHV DUO the throughput is between 1,5-1,7 times faster than with the single spindle machine.
The advanced and innovative machine tool portfolio of MODIG can tackle any automotive part machining, regardless of design and complexity. The MODIG Technology provide machining solutions to a substantial production with cost savings and consistent part accuracy.
NEW OPTION AVAILABLE FOR END-WORK
A new option for the HHV series is also a 2-axis saw for end-work. A saw can be mounted on one of the rotary tables operated with one or two axes from the main CNC control. With a rotating axis on the saw there is a possibility to cut compound angles by using the rotation of the rotary axis in combination.

]]>MEM appeals to a wide range of industry sectors such as: contract manufacturing, 3D printing, structural and civil engineering, automotive manufacturing, aerospace engineering, marine engineering, industrial engineering, CAD and schematic designs.
MODIG Machine Tool, Sweden is renowned within the aerospace aerostructure OEM and tier 1 & 2 sectors for their innovative engineering solutions for machining centre solutions and flexible fixtures.
To meet this demand MODIG increased build rates in their new Kalmar factory and developed the new5 axis horizontal spindle XM-Line for larger, heavier extrusions for the EV-industry.
MODIG already guarantees improved cutting times on the HHV of approx. 45-55% and major OEMS have further proved business case of high productivity with a ratio of 1 operator to 5 HHV’s.
To meet EV needs for high-precision higher productivity, MODIG developed the twin spindle EVM2 machining centre, a single process/ set up machining centre. Click here to read the full Manufacturing & Engineering Magazine MODIG article discussing how Modig is becoming a leader in EV market.

This EV case study with Gil-Mar Manufacturing demonstrates that the Modig HHV offers a flexible, high-precision solution for machining complex aluminium extrusions]]>
The new XM line will have an increased capacity to enable customers to handle the component size of the Electric Vehicle Truck sector.
On 24th September 2020 David Modig, President of Modig Machine Tool Sweden announced a partnership agreement with ASAS, state of the art aluminium extrusion production in Turkey.
ASAS is the first customer to use Modig's next generation of extrusion machines for larger and heavier aluminium extrusions to produce components for the electric vehicle industry.
“While making our investment decisions we are aiming to work with the companies that are the best in their field in terms of service, quality, and efficiency.
I believe that the new machines within the scope of the agreement we have made with Modig, will contribute to our processes in order to provide better service to our customers.” Safa Bayar Yavuz, Board Member ASAŞ Alüminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.

]]>Competitiveness starts upstream in part and component manufacturing so now is the time to upgrade with MODIG-technology.
Join us for a 30 minute live webinar on September 22nd to watch MODIG machining automotive parts on the HHV2 demonstrating more efficient productivity with minimal material waste.
In less than 10 minutes MODIG will be machining six (6) parts from an extrusion, where each part’s length is 12.6” (320 mm).
Why buy the more expensive MODIG HHV over other less expensive Aluminum Extrusion & Solid Bar machining centers ?
HHV delivers high productivity with low maintenance, reasonable fixture and tooling costs, extraordinary precision and repeatability delivering increased margins for electric car component manufacturers.
Tuesday 22nd September, at 3.3pm BST David Modig, President of Modig Machine Tool, will make a live demonstration of the MODIG HHV2 machining automotive extrusion parts directly from the MODIG facility in Kalmar, Sweden,
Keith Lopez, President North America will be a co-speaker and both will answer questions through the Q&A service of the Webinar.
Mike Brown, MD of M-Tech UK agency representing Modig Machine Tool in UK and ROI will also be viewing the webinar and you can email Mike with any questions before or after the webinar.
15 min Machining and Demonstration + 15 min Q&A
Deloitte analysis shows that " annual sales of battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles exceeded two million vehicles in 2019. Overall Electric Vehicle sales grew +15% in 2019 compared to 2018, driven by Europe +93% whereas the BEV market in US fell -2%."
Reassuring news for OEMs operating in the electric vehicle sector, Deloitte's research suggests the EV long-term outlook is strong.
Deloitte predict that a significant shift in volume of BEVs will be based on four factors: consumer sentiment, policy and regulation, OEM strategy and the role of corporate companies. One of the key factors affecting consumer sentiment is price.
According to Deloitte "achieving price parity will play a big role in speeding up EV adoption".
From a manufacturing perspective, this highlights the importance of reducing cost during every stage of the battery electric vehicle production process to be able to pass these savings onto consumers.

]]>10th June 2020 MODIG hosted a live webinar providing AN AMAZING INSIGHT into THE HHV AND THE MODIG WAY OF MACHINING
Modig Horizontal High Velocity machining centers (HHV) are becoming world renowned for high precision and high speed extrusion machining of aluminium for electric car components.
During the live streaming David Modig, president of MODIG Machine Tool Sweden explained how Modig has worked with leading electric vehicle manufacturers to understand their needs for aluminium component machining.
Modig Machine Tool Sweden has adapted the HHV2 for electric vehicle component machining with these features:
These new HHV2 features are especially important for automotive machining as speed and through-put is a key requirement where small parts are machined in large quantities.
Case studies on automotive aluminium components show that Modig HHV2 can machine aluminium battery tray components in 4 minutes, which is a 1/3rd of the time it would take a competitor machining centre to make the same part.
Importantly, it is not just time savings where Modig has an advantage over its competitors.
In the live webinar David Modig held up a component to demonstrate the high part finish quality achieved by the HHV.
With no over-shoots or mismatch, the HHV achieves burr free cycles supporting the high precision machining that MODIG delivers.
