ROBODRILL α-D28LiB5ADV Plus Y500
The enhanced performance of the new ROBODRILL α-D28LiB5ADV Plus Y500 is designed to help machine shops drive down cycle times with faster speeds and improved productivity. Additionally, with easy robotic integration tools with FANUC robots, automating machine tending is a breeze with FANUC ROBODRILL Plus.
OPTA Stereo Microscope
With a choice of three stands and two lenses, OPTA redefines the entry point for users to benefit from Vision Engineering's exceptional image quality, ergonomic design and ease of use.
MILL P 800 U S
The MILL P 800 U S features a torque-motor driven rotary/tilt trunnion-style table that contributes to the machine's continuous full 5-axis simultaneous movement for smooth part surface contouring. The high-performance, high dynamic torque motor drives eliminate backlash (pitch and reverse errors), friction, wear and heat generation.
Tiger 2.0 Cutting, Grinding and Combination Wheels
The INOX 2.0 wheels are designed for high performance when cutting and grinding high-value stainless steel parts. Premium aluminum oxide grains provide a smooth cut rate and consistent performance. Both Tiger Ceramic and Tiger INOX wheels are contaminant-free, so they are safe to use on high-value stainless steel parts.
AM Type Insert
The new AM Type insert is designed for non-ferrous metal machining, featuring a sharp cutting edge achieved through ground peripheral surface and polished rake face to a mirror-like finish. This design reduces built-up edge during machining and ensures a high-quality, glossy surface finish.
Tiger Ceramic 2.0 and Tiger INOX 2.0
The expanded Tiger 2.0 lineup, includes the Tiger Ceramic 2.0 and Tiger INOX 2.0 portfolio of cutting, grinding and combination wheels. Tiger Ceramic 2.0 cutting, grinding and combo wheels offer a superior combination of life and cut rate for maximum productivity.
easyZERO
With the ability to rapidly dial in runout with complete control, users spend less time tapping on the side of the tool and resetting tools and collets. Overall efficiency is increased, machining costs are lowered, and scrap is reduced with easyZERO.
Machine-Tending Application
An important production parameter is cobot uptime. To ensure seamless operations and increased efficiency, UR has launched the enhanced UR Care Service Plans that now offer preventive field service, onsite break-fix, dedicated remote support and secure cloud connectivity-based cobot service/performance monitoring through UR Connect.
Astorino
At the core of Astorino is a 1kg payload, 6-axis robot with a structure and programming environment nearly identical to that of a Kawasaki industrial robot. Weighing only 12 kg and powered by a 110V outlet, the robot is adoptable to any classroom environment.
Series 500i-A CNC
