Energid has released Actin 5, a significant update to its software development kit (SDK). The Actin toolkit is a real-time adaptive motion control software, allowing robotic system developers to focus on the robot's task rather than joint movement and paths.

Starrag has demonstrated over the years that the nonexhaustive list of applications performed on its model Bumotec s191FTLR 7-axis turn/mill machine is an evidence of Starrag's expertise in manufacturing complex parts in a single setup whatever raw materials used.

To gain more knowledge about Industry 4.0 developments, I participated in the Taiwan Smart Machinery Media Tour Aug. 20-24. The Taiwan External Trade Development Council hosted the event. The council reports that Taiwan has the highest density of precision machinery cluster in the world, exports almost 80 percent of its products and is the fifth largest export country for machine tools.

Schaumburg, IL – THK is taking major steps to meet the growing worldwide demand for linear motion products.

In response to the demand from industry for more and more versatile and accurate motion control systems, market-leader ALIO Industries has just received a U.S. patent on the next generation Hybrid Hexapod technology. The Hybrid Hexapod is a game-changer in the field of motion control, and will stimulate innovation as an enabler of next-generation manufacturing processes.

Vision Engineering has announced the general availability of its brand new class of TVM Field of View (FOV) video measurement systems. TVM combines a small footprint, with larger system performance and ease of use. Time-saving instant FOV measurements and a moving stage allow larger components to be measured quickly and easily.

Auto industry interest puts machine tool builders back in twin and multi-spindle production.

Many materials appear almost impossible to machine. A component with a combination of materials represents a special challenge. High-positive indexable inserts from ARNO Werkzeuge achieve convincing process reliability and finish quality in turning operations. Siemens Healthcare GmbH is delighted with a tenfold increase in tool life.

For a business owner or manager it's a frustrating and difficult task to track, manage and keep records on the hand-held tools, production tooling and fixtures, dies and castings that are the lifeblood of your operation. Each category of tool has specific tracking and accounting issues that when addressed have been proven to show a significant return on investment.

MONROVIA, CA – AMADA MIYACHI AMERICA, a manufacturer of resistance welding, laser welding, marking, cutting, and micro machining equipment and systems, announces its newly expanded and enhanced Detroit technical center.

New Milford, CT, July 11th 2018- Vision Engineering Inc. reaches a milestone this month, celebrating 60 years of manufacturing inspection and non-contact measurement systems.

By its very nature, high-nickel, iron or cobalt alloy steels, including Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Invar, Rene and Hasteloy, are some of the most difficult materials to machine. Because these superalloys are designed to deliver high strength at extremely high temperatures in components often found in "hot" sections of engines and turbines, the stresses and heat generated during machining are considerable.
