NCFC Electromechanical Joining Module

NCFC Adds More Freedom of Movement
An electromechanically operated clinching system offers significant energy savings as compared to pneumatic or pneumohydraulic alternatives. In this solution, the servo press is controlled by the proven maXYmos NC process monitoring system from Kistler. With continuous force-displacement monitoring by the integrated sensor, positions can be approached reliably, flexibly and at high speed; the solution also includes an additional traverse mode with safely reduced speed.

Robotics Results: Increasing productivity 65%

The Robotics Results column in the February 2022 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine demonstrates how ROI is guaranteed with robotic automation, and enables industry professionals to visualize their ROI through off-the-clock operations. As an example, Fusion | RoboJob-USA Founder and President Craig Zoberis cites a standard high-mix, low-volume machine shop. With eight hours of production time per day for 250 days a year, machine output results in 2,000 hours of annual production.
