Filter by Process Zone:
Digital Manufacturing Ecosystem Developed by Machinists
Ideal for Industry 4.0 practitioners in small and medium-sized shops, ProShop software from Adion Systems provides an integrated, comprehensive set of modules for managing typical ERP operations, MES and QMS functions, including ISO-9000, AS9100, API and ISO 13485.
Engineering Software Streamlines the Entire Manufacturing Workflow
3DXpert 14, GibbsCAM 13 and Cimatron 14 from 3D Systems cover digitization, design and simulation through to manufacturing, inspection and management.
Precision Manipulation and Fixturing of Large, Heavy Parts for Welding and Machining
Powered Manipulators from Bluco protect workers from injury by using motors and hydraulics to lift heavy parts weighing up to 8,000 lb to 72 in, rotate them 360 deg and tilt them to the desired position, from 0 deg to 180 deg, all in seconds.
Robot Arm Ecosystem Lowers the Automation Barrier for Shops
Third-party product developers for the UR+ platform from Universal Robots deliver plug-and-play peripherals that integrate with UR robot arms to quickly and seamlessly deploy entire robotic applications.
Grinding, Milling and Drilling in a Single Part Clamping
With spindle speeds up to 10,000 rpm for high precision machining, the 5- or 6-axis Mägerle MFP 51 grinding and machining center from United Grinding combines grinding, milling and drilling in a single part clamping to dramatically improve productivity.
Batch Mode Fine-Grinding Systems
The Spiro F5 and Spiro F12 from Supfina can grind highly precise, ≤ 1.0 µm plane parallelism and machine precision bearings, pump gears, valve plates, and more up to 20 times faster than lapping to greatly reduce costs per unit.
Flexible Grinding of Micro Tools, Gun Drills, Hob Cutters and Complex Geometries
Along with advanced wheel changing, automated collet changing and robotic workpiece handling, the flexible 325linear 5-axis CNC grinder from Schütte is equipped with SIGSpro software for full 3D simulation on the HMI or offline for more accurate quotes and complete cycle validation.
Innovative Grinding Wheel Technology
HPL anti-friction abrasive tools, hybrid-bonded durable precision dressing tools, double-disk fine-grinding wheels and more from Meister Abrasives dramatically reduce process variability, improve quality and increase grinding productivity.
Science and Innovation in Grinding Systems
Using an internally-mounted FANUC robot to load/unload, the Novamatic 2G M 10/80 B CNC internal grinding machine from Meccanica Nova is perfect for grinding multiple bores of automotive engine components in a single work part clamping.
State-of-the-Art Double-Disc Grinding
This new double-disc grinder from GCH Machinery accommodates automatic, semi-automatic or manual loading and features an upgraded servo infeed slide, linear rails, an automatic lubrication system and user-friendly controls.
Ultrafast Rotary Grinding Finishes that Reduce or Eliminate Lapping Operations
The IG 480 SD Rotary Table Grinder from DCM removes stock up to 10X faster and has a fully enclosed grinding envelope, integral mist collection and coolant filtration that provides clean, consistent grinding operations.
Safe and Powerful Magnetic Lifters Reduce Material Handling Costs
The hand-controlled MagLift permanent magnetic lifter from Bunting Magnetics safely moves three times its weight and their MagSlide Beltless Chip and Parts Conveyor transports dirty, oily parts as well as sharp, jagged scrap and other abrasive materials with almost no maintenance costs.
