Robot to the rescue
Automation is available to eliminate dull, dirty and dangerous tasks for workers at any size facility.
Wireless Rotary Cutting Dynamometer (RCD)
The wireless RCD from Kistler has a 10 kHz sampling rate that allows to capture highly dynamic foot-prints of the measurement in applications with up to 16 000 RPM. Overall, piezoelectric sensors ensure more accurate measurements than other technologies, such as strain-gauge sensors, which have significant limitations especially when measuring small forces and high dynamic processes. Highly accurate measurements are not only important for research but also for production monitoring. The piezoelectric measurement technology can capture very small changes and deviations before they have a significant effect on product quality.
Complete machining of parts for vehicle transmissions
Armored vehicles need huge levels of drive torque to get going. To deliver the necessary propulsive force, manufacturers rely on transmissions from Augsburg-based Renk GmbH, the specialist in fully automatic transmissions for heavy-tracked military vehicles. And wherever top performance is required, you can be sure that solutions from WFL are not far behind.

Developing integrated automation solutions
Automation Solutions LLC helps companies integrate automation into the manufacturing process. This video supplement to "Robot To The Rescue," a feature article in the September 2022 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, provides a bit of insight into what it takes to set up an automation solution for a manufacturer.
Tool manufacturers utilize automation breakthroughs
Industrial automation is changing the way cutting tool manufacturers operate. Machines have taken on the heavy lifting at each stage of production, letting workers get on with less repetitive tasks.
Turn-Assist 200i and 270i
Turn-Assist features an open-floor setup and area sensors to maximize operator safety and accessibility, while a pre-programmable FANUC robot loads blanks and unloads finished parts from the stocking table. Options are available that allows the robot to process shafts, rotate parts, and interface with a bar-feeder.
droPWR
Bluetooth technology along with an IBT interface box in the droPWR system allows connection to multiple machine configurations in one tablet including for milling, turning, and grinding machines with up to six axes. Designed to be simple and functional, this tablet DRO can be moved and used with various machines, making it perfect for many production environments such as small shops and students in shop class.
ANCA to unveil machines that produce high-accuracy cutting tools
Cutting tools are essential components across many industries, and as these industries expand their own product range and complexity, manufacturers increasingly demand high-quality cutting tools that meet unique requirements. For cutting tool manufacturers, deciding what technology to invest in should be driven by business goals, and at IMTS, ANCA will present the grinding technology that it says demonstrates the advantages of investing in a technologically advanced future.
Automation: Beyond the obvious
Three benefits of automation that really can impact your machine shop.
Collecting and using maintenance data
The quality and value of a decision depends on the quality of the data on which it is based. As in any other aspect of maintenance management, decision-making and operational performance depend heavily on ensuring that the right kind of data is available when required by the relevant decision-makers.
