TwinCAT Vision Software
Beckhoff Automation announced the incorporation of comprehensive image processing capabilities into its PC-based control system with new TwinCAT Vision software. TwinCAT unites a comprehensive range of machine functionality – PLC, motion control, robotics, high-end measurement technology, IoT, HMI and now machine vision – all in an end-to-end engineering and control platform.
Spindle Cleaner and Spindle Restoration Kits
CNC spindle maintenance is treated as a dirty, boring and often overlooked job. A clean spindle is essential for proper taper contact between the spindle and V-flange toolholder. Build-up of chips, dust, and oil in the spindle can jeopardize taper contact and result in premature wear, repair downtime and even CNC machine breakdown.
ISM: Manufacturing expands in November at a slightly slower pace
Economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in November, and the overall economy grew for the 102nd consecutive month, say the nation's supply executives in the latest Manufacturing ISM Report On Business. The November PMI registered 58.2 percent, a decrease of 0.5 percentage point from the October reading of 58.7 percent.
Episode 10: Deep hole drilling
For the 10th episode of The CNC Chef, Bob Warfield of the CNCCookbook discusses the challenges presented when drilling deep holes. Among them: clearing the chips, getting coolant down deep, and holding tolerances on position, diameter and surface finish.
Alphacam 2018 RI Software
The 2018 R1 release of Alphacam, from Vero Software, includes considerable enhancements to automation and nesting functions. There is now the ability in Automation Manager to have a connection between "parent-child" parts, as job files can now be added to another job file as a sub-component. This enhances the management of parts that should be manufactured in groups.
Variable-Speed Drill Press
Easily adaptable, Palmgren's 20-inch, variable-speed drill press allows the operator to select the best rpm for the tool and material without stopping the job. The ergonomic side-mounted hand wheel instantly adjusts the speeds.
Grip-Paks Packaging
Beckett Packaging offers a full line of Grip-Paks. Grip-Paks are individual packaging for endmills, drills, solid-carbide tools and other cutting tools.
ORLAS CREATOR Hybrid 3D Printing and Milling Machine
The ORLAS CREATOR hybrid 3D printing and milling machine from O.R. Lasertechnology Inc. brings together the benefits of both additive manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing within a single platform to offer a comprehensive manufacturing solution.
FANUC has produced its 500,000th Robot
FANUC Corporation, supplier of robotics, CNC and factory automation has announced the production of its 500,000th robot. The company is working toward ramping production up from 6,000 to 11,000 units per month. To that end, FANUC is building a new factory, which is scheduled to open in August 2018.
In digital manufacturing, the supplier’s real product is intellectual property
In the digitized manufacturing world being born, the product that a job-shop produces is less a piece of engineered metal and more a piece of intellectual property. So said Tom Kelly, the executive director and CEO of Detroit's Automation Alley. That difference brings risks but also unprecedented opportunities for those who are ready.
Whitepaper: Suitable materials for photo etching
Photo etching is a fast, efficient and cost-effective method for the manufacture of small precision metal parts using etchant chemistries. It is well-suited for development, prototype and production volumes, and has the ability to ramp up from low- to high-volume runs extremely quickly.
JUCAM 1S Noncylindrical Grinding Machine
As increasingly stringent carbon emissions regulations are being imposed on the automotive industry, one solution to ensure compliance with these regulations is with variable engine timing using cam pieces. The JUCAM 1S from JUNKER specializes in the ultraprecise, efficient grinding of cam pieces.
