EASTEC 2017: Metal Cutting (Part Three)
Premium Graphite Electrodes Maximize EDM Efficiency and Reduce Costs
The consistent properties of the materials used in premium graphite electrodes from Poco Graphite allow for increased electrode detail and improved machining productivity that maximizes EDM efficiency and overall cost reduction.
Low Cost, Easy to Use MES Software for Small Shops
BellHawk uses barcode tracking and mobile computer technology to track the receipt and put-away of raw materials, their conversion into finished products through a sequence of operations and the packing and shipping of finished products to customers.
EDM, Milling, Turning Systems Increase Productivity, Reduce Downtime
Mitsubishi milling, turning, wire and sinker EDM machines from MC Machinery increase shop productivity and reduce downtime.
Production and Support Machinery for the Cutting Tool
Rush Machinery introduces their new and improved FC-350W Wheel Truing and Dressing Machine, Easy-Cut Semi-Automatic Cut-Off Machine, and their BMT200S Balancing Machine.
5-Axis CNC Grinder with Extended X-Y Axis Paths Plus Two Aux Slides for Part Clamping
The 325linear cylindrical grinding system from Schütte features extended X-Y paths, two auxiliary slides, and optional robotic handling, wheel changing and tool magazines for scalable automation in the same machine.
CNC Hardware for High-End Machine Tools
Version 4.7 of Sinumerik Operate software from Siemens shortens program runtimes and simulates faster with quicker overall operation using more powerful CPUs and 15 in and 19 in “Blackline” panels in widescreen format for the Sinumerik 840D sl CNC.
Swiss Machining Moves to the Next Level
The newly redesigned SV-20R Swiss-type Automatic Lathe from Star CNC has improved functions, build in “B” axis for multiple tools, and an (8) station tool block for overlapping of back operations.
Cloud-Based ERP for Small to Medium Sized Custom Manufacturers
Version 9.0 VISUAL ERP manufacturing software from Synergy Resources helps custom fabrication shops of all sizes become more efficient and productive, particularly in the areas of pricing and cost visibility, scheduling, and managing quality.
Next Steps in CAD/CAM Applications
Waveform Roughing in Vero Surfcam from DM Solutions ensures that a constant volume of material is removed for high speed machining of harder materials by using as much of the flute length as possible to distribute wear evenly along the entire cutting length, rather than just the tip.
