Pocket-Sized But Powerful Mobile Surface Measurement System
Mahr’s portable MarSurf M 310 offers features that were previously available only in PC-based systems. Features including automatic creation of measuring reports in PDF format, integration of a barcode or data matrix scanner, and printing reports to letter size paper are all standard.
Advanced Tube Measurement at an Affordable Price
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s TubeShaper v2 software is available via an offline license that enables engineers and designers to work on projects separately from operators measuring tubes on the shop floor. More tasks can run concurrently, saving time and averting bottlenecks.
Collaboration Ensures Seamless CAD and PMI Data Exchange
Two Open Mind Technologies software products have been integrated into Tech Soft 3D’s Hoops Exchange. As a result, users can share any CAD file type without compromising product and manufacturing information (PMI) data.
Off-The-Shelf Solution for Noncircular Grinding
NUM enhances its Flexium+ CNC software by adding noncircular grinding functionality to NUMgrind. A graphical interface backed by a comprehensive library of predefined shapes simplifies production of camshafts, punches, cams, eccentric shafts, etc.
Platform Leverages High-Frequency Data to Avert Failures
MachineMetrics HF collects data at 1 kHz directly from a CNC machine’s controls without using sensors. The data can immediately be used as inputs to time-series or machine learning models to predict machine and tooling failures.
Upgraded Monitoring Software Connects Multiple Brands
Heidenhain’s StateMonitor 1.3.0 software connects CNC control and PC systems, enabling manufacturers to remotely monitor equipment performance in real-time regardless of brand without having to access the cloud.
Software Enhancements Raise the Bar for Process Simulation
