Marposs introduces Mida Hyper Probing — a software compatible with Marposs probes that calculates the best cycle time for machines simply by users entering repeatability range and workpiece positioning tolerance. This software can achieve an 80% reduction in cycle time, ensuring fast and precise probing.

Madison Chemical introduces Madison Green, a mildly alkaline, environmentally friendly, biodegradable general-purpose cleaner that is highly effective on greasy and waxy surfaces, such as floors, work benches and other equipment. This free-rinsing product does not leave a white alkaline film on the cleaned surface and has a pleasant wintergreen odor.

HCL Technologies announced the release of CAMWorks Version 2020 with several enhancements to assist machine shops in advancing their smart manufacturing practices. CAMWorks Version 2020 provides support for 3D printing of SolidWorks Assemblies, the CAMWorks ShopFloor product, intelligent probing functionality and automatic tab machining.

Weldcote introduces its new, high-quality Slitter INOX-Prime grinding wheels that offer excellent cutting speeds per cut with minimal burr and a smooth finish.

To guarantee continuous and consistent cleaning results, it is essential that cleaning can be planned. For this, a system has to function in an optimal way and fluctuations in the process or unscheduled downtimes must be avoided. A service concept that is tailored to the requirements of the equipment user and implemented in close cooperation with the manufacturer helps to achieve this.

To reduce the once time-consuming process of dashboard creation down to a simple mouse click, Beckhoff has introduced the new TwinCAT Analytics One-Click Dashboard. When tailoring new data-driven services to individual customer requirements, machine builders and system integrators need solutions that are as cost-effective as possible.

The A-351 gantry motion system is related to the A-341 hybrid air bearing gantry. Driven by linear motors and guided by precision mechanical linear bearings, the system provides high speed and accuracy, at a lower price compared to its air bearings-based brother. Advanced absolute linear encoders increase accuracy and reduce start-up time by rendering homing procedures unnecessary.

The L.S. Starrett Co. has introduced a flexible selection architecture that enables the range of Starrett force and material testing software programs to be compatible with its different test frame series. This interchangeable system architecture increases application versatility, providing users a wider range of solution options from basic to advanced, for their specific force and material testing needs.

SCHUNK Electronic Solutions has developed Magnoplate – a universal workpiece holder for depaneling machines that places magnetic carrier pins with a milling head on a support plate. This results in lightning fast brackets for new assembly groups.

The Chiron FZ/DZ 25 vertical machining center series is for highly productive machining of complex, large-volume structural components for the automotive and aerospace industries.

The Dispense Works Inc. RP series robotic dispensing system with an optional vision guided system performs pattern recognition and edge and hole detection for simpler setup and fixturing, while assuring repeatability from part to part. The robot takes a picture of the part, does any necessary offsets and adjusts its program for precise dispensing and part placement.

Collet pad top jaw systems from Dillon Manufacturing allow more varied geometries to be securely gripped, while also allowing more aggressive machining which shortens cycle times. With systems that can convert through-hole chucks to hold small bar and tube stock, and full contact of gripping surfaces to provide a more stable grip and allows heavier cuts, these Dillon products allow shops of all sizes to expand their capabilities.
