Machining

D:PLOY demonstrates how the entire application, including any leading cobot or light industrial robot arm along with tooling, sensors, and other devices, is accessed and managed from D:PLOY's dashboard. Users simply define the robot's workspace with minimal inputs on points within the workspace, and enter attributes of the workpiece.

The modular XTS solution has been expanded with NCT to include a special motor module as well as electronics that mount on the movers. The hardware required for the transmission technology is fully integrated into the motor module, so the system does not sacrifice any existing functionality or expand equipment footprint.

As shown at IMTS this month, only through the use of extremely clean grinding oils can high-quality tools be ground economically and reliably against increasingly tight tolerance requirements.

The MD173 Supreme is a roughing cutter designed specifically for dynamic milling and for reducing machining time. Its cutting edges equipped with chip breakers enable excellent chip breaking, permitting superior process reliability with high metal removal rates, a plus for users with automated production processes.

Purdue researchers use AM injector components from Velo3D to create Mach 6 conditions for a ground-testing facility.

Robotmaster 2023 bridges the gap between CAD/CAM and robotics by enabling seamless integration between a user's chosen CAD/CAM software and Robotmaster. This automatic integration eliminates the need to import and sync data for a 75 percent reduction in programming time. It also eliminates the programming errors that can happen when using a manual process.

These S Series caps are available with a plain top, and many of the sizes are also available with a knurled top-collar, which makes them easy-to-grip and remove. In addition, the caps are also available in both LDPE plastic and flexible TPE.

Shops may be unaware of these ceramic cutter applications and developments.
