Control and Drive System Replacements
These state-of-the-art components improve the productivity and reliability of these critical machines and increase their service life by 15 to 20 years. A new control and drive system can increase machine downtime to 95 percent, with a payback period of 12 to 18 months.
Overcome the barriers to automation
At every stage of manufacturing, there is an opportunity for automation. Unfortunately, many manufactures often let perceived barriers keep them from implementing complete machine or process automation. With this mindset, they end up limiting their productivity by automating only one or two aspects of the process or not automating at all.
Transmission manufacturer cuts inspection times in half
At the U.S. transmission plant of a global automotive manufacturing group, component inspection times have been reduced by half or more by upgrading the company's coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) to incorporate 5-axis scanning technology in addition to touch probing.

varioSCAN II
The varioSCAN product line is ideal for applications requiring f-theta lenses, as well as applications for which these costly lenses are unavailable. In the second case, the focusing system provides a plane focusing surface in addition to z-adjustment of the focus.
BoreMeister Expanded
The added anti-vibration boring bars with C6 PCS machine side connection are suitable for up to 9xD boring depths, allowing direct assembly on the machine spindle or turret without the need for adapters. The boring bars can also minimize chatter as an integrated vibration damper suppresses unwanted vibrations during machining.
MU-VZ and SU-VZ Dial Indicator Stands
The SU Type has a length of 235mm and rubber bellows. The larger MU Type is 360mm in length and has a reinforced ball joint with a large collar. Both use serrated washers instead of flat washers to reduce slippage and increase stability of the center joint.
Robotmaster Version 7.5
Robotmaster, a Hypertherm brand, is an offline robot programming software that helps manufacturers maximize their robot's productivity with easy and efficient robot programming for a variety of applications such as cutting, trimming, milling, welding, spraying, polishing, sanding, grinding, deburring, and more. Robotmaster uses integrated CAD/CAM functionality to make robotic programming easy and intuitive for everyone, even first-time users.
One Touch Indexing Clamps
The quarter-turn knobs allow for quick locking and unlocking without the use of tools. The ON/OFF markings and perceptible "click" indicate the locked and unlocked states. Red indicator band is visible when fastener is in the OFF (unclamped) position.
Metrology meets Industry 4.0
When looking at the place of metrology in the "Fourth Industrial Revolution," it is interesting to ponder whether Industry 4.0 is being driven by developments in metrology or metrology developments are being driven by Industry 4.0.
TungMeister Exchangeable Milling Heads Series Expanded
In addition to standard VBO and VBN barrel-shaped end mills for productive finish machining of curved surfaces, TungMeister's new VBL lens-shape milling head has a convexly shaped cutting edge on the tool's tip, instead of on the periphery, providing a good solution for machining a complex bottom surface.
High Feed Square Cut Size 14 Milling Systems
Not only does this solution make it easier to machine sticky materials, but it is designed for easy, ergonomic indexing and the pocket and screw designs simplify positioning. The cutters themselves feature a new environmentally friendly coating and their outstanding high feed milling performance reduces the amount of power used in roughing.
