Intelligent CAD/CAM Toolpaths Allow Tools to Cut Metal at Impressive Speeds
By implementing intelligent toolpath strategies, one company was able to reduce cycle time for one part from 40 minutes to 10-to-15 minutes by achieving a full depth of cut, increasing feeds and speeds, and normalizing the load on the tool. How low can you go with these solutions?
Forward in 3D: Rise Above Challenges in 3D Metal Printing
Servo motors and robots are transforming additive applications. Learn the latest tips and applications when implementing robotic automation and advanced motion control for additive and subtractive manufacturing, as well as what’s next: think hybrid additive/subtractive methods.
Coolant R&D Can Cut Tool Wear
According to Blaser Swisslube Inc. (Goshen, New York), choosing the right metalworking fluid for an application can have wide-ranging and positive effects on tool life, cycle time and workpiece quality.
Combilift Delivers 60,000th Truck
The Irish manufacturer Combilift recently marked a milestone when its 60,000th unit came off the production lines at the company HQ in Monaghan.
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.
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.
Tow Tractor Moves 11,000 Pounds Automatically or Manually via a Driver
Jungheinrich’s dual-mode EZS 350a NA automated guided vehicle (AGV) provides all the benefits of an electric truck with a laser-based navigation platform that requires no floor work.
RFP Fringe Probe Increases 5-Axis Measurement System Flexibility
Renishaw’s multisensor REVO 5-axis measurement system provides highly accurate scanning, non-contact inspection and surface finish analysis at ultra-high speeds on one coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
Submicron Surface Roughness Measurement
The LEXT OLS5100 laser microscope from Olympus guarantees measurement accuracy that simplify experiment workflows. The software’s several smart features minimize error with push-button scanning and analysis.
Surface Measurement for Non-Metrologists
OmniSurf3D from Digital Metrology Solutions helps users understand and communicate about surface texture without requiring a great deal of mathematical interpretation or metrology knowledge. The software provides the ability to interact with data from virtually any surface measurement instrument.
