Abstract: A regeneration device for regenerating a coolant dispersion with phase change material includes: a redispersion unit for redispersing the coolant dispersion, the redispersion unit including a restrictor; and a recooling unit that enables freezing of a phase change material by dissipating heat stored in the coolant dispersion. The recooling unit is arranged so that dissipated heat is at least partially recuperated in order to heat up the coolant dispersion to an inlet temperature.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a thin-walled part having curved surfaces, in particular a turbine blade by a machine tool comprising roughing process and semi-finishing process. At least one of the roughing process and the semi-finishing process is accomplished by flank milling.

Abstract: A calibration method for numerical controlled machine tools (1), which uses a kinematic model to generate a compensation model for the positioning error occurring with the movement of the linear (X, Y, Z) and rotation axes (B, C, A) of a machine tool (1). The calibration method measures the positions of a calibration ball (6) with a measurement sequence which includes the combined movement of the calibration ball (6) around two rotation axes (C, B or C, A), wherein the measurements around a first rotation axis (C) include at least two rotational position movements around a second axis (B or A).

Abstract: A method for using a geometrical probe (5) with a spindle (3) of a machine tool (1), wherein a probe fetch waiting state of the machine tool (1), at least one temperature parameter related to a temperature of the spindle (3) of the machine tool (1) is determined by measuring at least one temperature value for the spindle (3), and time for fetching the geometrical probe (5) is determined depending on the at least one temperature parameter.

Abstract: A method for cutting machining of turbine blades (1) on a multi-axis machine tool, the turbine blade (1) is held by a rotatable blade-root clamping device and a rotatable blade-tip clamping device (2) and is machined by means of a tool which is chucked in a tool spindle. A first profile section (4) which is adjacent to the blade tip is first of all machined by the tool and the tool is then removed. The tool spindle then grabs an already horizontal additional clamping device (5) which has clamping jaws (6.1, 6.2) adapted to the first profile section (4). The additional clamping device (5) is positioned on the blade-tip clamping device (2) in such a way that the clamping jaws (6.1, 6.2) rest in the first profile section (4). The tool spindle then grabs a tool and machines the remaining profile section with it.

Abstract: The chain magazine for holding tool'(5) for machine tool'includes a continuous chain (1) which has chain links (2) each with at least one tool holder (2a, 2b) and with which at least one sprocket (6, 7) meshes and a guide device (9-12) which has a guide element (12) that can be moved back and forth between a first and a second position, by means of which a tool holder (2a, 2b) of a chain link (2) can be turned in and turned out.
