Hurco Introduces New Control Feature -- 3D Import with 3D DXF Technology

Go from "solid to part" seamlessly. Eliminate extra steps. The newest control feature for both three and five axis machines from Hurco is the skills gap buster shops need.

  • Integrated CAD/CAM and tool path simulation
  • No need to enter feature dimensions -- simply click and cut
  • Transform Planes created automatically for easy 5-sided conversational programming -- no data entry required

Hurco’s 3D Import feature includes 3D DXF technology that now displays all CAD geometry, including splines and Z-depths.

Gecko Gripper

Gecko Gripper
OnRobot kicked off the new year by shipping pre-orders of its new Gecko Gripper, that uses millions of micro-scaled fibrillar stalks that adhere to a surface using powerful van der Waals forces—the same way that geckos climb. The Gecko Gripper lets robots pick up flat, smooth objects with significant energy savings over existing grippers such as vacuum grippers, which require compressed air that is costly, power-intensive, and bulky.

A-341 HGS Hybrid Gantry

A-341 HGS Hybrid Gantry
The bridge-like design of a gantry provides the framework for controlled precise overhead motion that is often sought after for 3D printing, assembly, pick-and-place, alignment, inspection and industrial automation applications. PI introduces the A-341 HGS hybrid gantry – designed to combine maximum throughput with smooth and highly accurate motion.
