Mastercam is known for precision NC programming, but it also delivers a suite of shop-tested design tools aimed at getting parts on and off the machine as quickly as possible.
For years Bystronic has been using the camera-based protection and measurement system PSENvip in conjunction with the automation system PSS4000 to guarantee a safe, efficient bending process. For another solution particularly on shorter length press brakes, the aim was to achieve maximum productivity and maximum safety combined with simple operation.
Innovative, ergonomic, quickly put into operation: The intelligent design of the SCHUNK EGH makes automation with cobots especially easy, and this is the reason why the gripper was awarded with the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2021 in the ”product design“ category.
For the production of its small parts, the US job shop Sunlight-Tech requires extremely precise laser micromachining and micro-milling – the ideal tasks for its Microlution ML-5 and ML 5100 from GF Machining Solutions.
With a complete tapping programme covering all thread profiles and material groups, Sandvik Coromant offers two tapping ranges: optimized for ISO-specific materials and optimized for flexibility.
Surfaces are machined by grinding and polishing. With coarse material removal as a post-processing operation, for further machining, or fine machining, sensitivity and precise readjustment are required to achieve the perfect workpiece finish.
An exciting new 3D vision system now makes inspecting parts in 3D as easy as using a 2D smart camera. While optical inspection in 3D previously required a great deal of programming but offered few benefits, Cognex's new technology brings better image quality, simplified application development, and a wide range of true 3D inspection tools - significantly expanding the range of applications in industrial automation.
