Enhancing Manufacturing Efficiency with Wintriss ShopFloorConnect at FABTECH 2024

Jim Finnerty, the Product Manager at Wintriss Controls Group, presented updates on their ShopFloorConnect software at FABTECH 2024, highlighting new flexible and affordable starting packages. These updates include scalable subscription options tailored for manufacturers seeking production tracking, OEE calculations, and real-time machine data collection.

ShopFloorConnect provides three customizable packages:

SG SmartCapture

SG SmartCapture software offers a direct PolyWorks Plug-In for streamlined workflow, GD&T measurements and fitting with SmartProfile integration, and STEP file reverse engineering for automatic CAD conversion. Fully supported robotic integration is available for automatic part handling and sorting.

Tool Presetters and Software

All presetter models feature interchangeable spindles (CAT, BT, HSK, Polygonal Taper, etc.) thereby eliminating the need for adapters which introduce additional error. All units also come with fifty of the most common post processors for today’s CNC controls. Advanced models incorporate an advanced automatic spindle rotation system with pneumatic engagement, ensuring zero backlash and optimal indexing. This cutting-edge system includes spindle identification, negating operator error and ensuring tools are always measured correctly for the right machine tool taper/size.
