MERLIC 5 Software
MERLIC 5 contains new and optimized features that further increase usability, robustness, and the field of possible applications. Among these features is included the improved camera handling using the Image Source Manager (ISM), which completely separates the image acquisition source from the image processing part. As a result, machine vision applications can be easily copied and run between different systems without adjusting the camera settings. The graphical user interface allows the image sources to be comfortably managed and configured.
MV5 INTEGRAL Dot Peen Marking System
The marking head is suitable to mark several materials up to a hardness of 63 HRC. The marking force of the solenoid which was especially developed for marking purposes can be adjusted individually to the material and the needed marking depth (marking force 1 to 30). With this, a precise marking of nearly all materials is guaranteed.
Predictive maintenance a key step to unmanned production
Predicting tool wear for process security and reduced waste in steel turning is a critical component of unmanned production.
AddDoFeed Milling Cutters
AddDoFeed uses minimal Size 02 inserts of 4 mm (5/32″) inscribed circle and offers close pitch cutter bodies that boast unrivaled insert-per-diameter density for a small diameter indexable cutter. This allows a 16 mm (5/8″) diameter body to carry four inserts and 25 mm (1″) seven inserts for higher feed rates and increased productivity.
FlexJet HD
The highly flexible and efficient high-pressure water jet deburring system enables deburring and cleaning with a water pressure of around 500 bar in one work step. The rotary table integrated in the treatment chamber of the new system with pneumatic connections for automatic workpiece clamping devices is designed for components with a diameter of up to 450 mm and a maximum height of 550 mm. The maximum workpiece weight including the clamping device is 100 kg. These dimensions make it possible to handle, for example, an engine block for a four- cylinder engine or several small parts. The water jet generated in the high- pressure unit with a pressure of up to 500 bar is passed through a four-way nozzle system with automatic nozzle switch.
Custom Modifications for Standard Rollers and Bumpers
The products can be custom modified in various dimensions, shapes and sizes to meet the specific application requirements. For example, the outside diameter (O.D.) of a roller could be turned down, or a bumper of a certain width could be produced. These modifications eliminate the typical design and production time necessary for a custom roller or bumper to be tooled up and molded.
2021.08 CAD/CAM Software Components
This new feature for multi-axis machining automatically applies a rest finishing cycle to any remaining non-machined areas that could not be reached by the wall and floor finishing operations. The wall and floor finishing operations carry information about which areas can be machined and which areas cannot. The new rest finishing cycle automatically extracts this information from the operations and creates a rest machining area that can be reached using a different tool with automatic tilting.n

Make better gears with precision metrology
To ensure the surfaces on the gears are optimized, it is essential to use metrology tools to analyze, understand, and characterize.
CAMIO 2021 CMM software
CAMIO 2021 Geometry Validation reduces the time taken when preparing new inspection programs by automatically detecting which surfaces of the CAD model should be used to measure the feature. It ensures that all measurements are taken on suitable surfaces automatically and at the same time provides the programmer with the option to modify the default settings and selections. While the feature is being programmed, the CAD simulation highlights the geometry used for the validation and previews the measurement sequence. This combines with the Teach Path view to provide a full visual and numerical evaluation of the programming sequence prior to executing the touch points or scanning sequence, enabling the programmer to get the inspection sequence right first time when programming online or offline.
Flex3D Software
The company has designed new applications for Lantek Flex3D which provide easy solutions when designing and machining complete or partial bevels anywhere in the tube. Further, the latest generation software makes it possible to include perforations of various types (round, rectangular, triangular, etc.), and resolve the multiple possibilities that require a comprehensive library of connections and intersections to later assemble complete sets.
