Updated 3D CAD/CAM Suite with Easy Toolpath Editing
Machining programmers using OPEN MIND’s hyperMILL 2021.1 can trim and remove sequences as needed after creating their initial toolpath. It also features a new 5-axis radial machining tool that helps users rapidly apply the most productive machining strategies.
‘Upside Down’ Machining Equals Unlimited Possibilities for Part Machining
GROB Systems’ G350 5-Axis universal machining center has a special axis concept enabling the full tool length to be employed in any axis position, even with maximum part size. That “tunnel” concept enables a swiveling for largest-possible components without collision.
VMCs Offer Jig Milling Accuracy with Machining Center Productivity
Mitsui Seiki’s “J” series offers a positioning accuracy and repeatability of +/- 1µm. Combining machining center technology with jig borer precision in one machine, the “Jig” VMCs achieve precision boring, milling, drilling and tapping.
Plug-and-Play IIoT Platform Enables Digital Transformation
Attention mid-sized manufacturers: FactoryEye from Magic Software brings the digital world to you – with real-time intelligence – in an easy, affordable and flexible solution. No need to replace existing equipment or infrastructure.
Automated Multispindle Program Creation Boosts Long-Part Machining Productivity
ESPRIT CAM’s ESPRIT TNG enables offset-aware programming of spindle transfers and bar pulls to help manufacturers drive multichannel CNC machinery. The ‘next generation’ CAM provides an exact digital replica of every facet of the machining environment.
Rotary Encoders Made for Robots
Compact and lightweight, the KCI/KBI 1300 series of inductive rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN offer contamination-resistant inductive circumferential scanning. The high-speed EnDat 2.2 interface enables more information to be communicated such as temperature or diagnostics.
‘Connected Shop’ Provides ‘Set It and Forget It’ CAD/CAM Programming
The enhanced features of CAMBRIO’s SigmaNEST Version 21 are centered around ease of use and nesting options for every manufacturing need. The goal of the company’s Connected Shop concept is to bridge CRM, ordering, inventory, production, delivery, and accounting.
Bench Lathe for Precision Turning on Small Metal Parts
Palmgren’s versatile No. 9684504 bench engine lathe handles many turning operations in prototype, maintenance, tools, and fabrication shops. Constructed from heavy cast iron, it’s built to last.
Mobile Cobot Automatically Moves from Station to Station to Automatically Perform Tasks
Equipped with automatic tool-changing and multicoupling systems, Staubli’s HelMo moves itself from workstation to workstation, plugs itself in, and performs tasks without endangering its human coworkers.
Wireless Communications Solution Lowers Material Handling Time and Errors
ROEQ’s replaces Wi-Fi-dependent third-party setups with a sensor-based system that automatically lifts loads delivered by an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to the proper height for delivery to a stationary conveyor.
Fully Automated Material Handling with ‘One System Fits All’ Module and Cobot-Armed Gates
The QM180 top module from Nord Modules increases the utility of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) by connecting with a cobot-powered gate to create the first fully autonomous material-handling system. It also handles half pallets, plastic boxes, carton boxes, and carts without changing top modules.
AGV/AMRs Make Moving Loads a No-Brainer
Material-handling solutions developer Kivnon expands its mobile vehicles portfolio with two autonomous mobile robot (AMR) forklifts and an automated guided vehicle (AGV) lifting platform that rotates.
