Robot Ready for Harsh and Cleanroom Applications
The IRB 1300 industrial robot from ABB features IP67, Foundry Plus 2 and cleanroom ISO 4 versions. It performs a range of tasks that includes material handling, machine tending, polishing, assembly and testing.
New Data Definitions Added to Industry Terminology Standard
Additive manufacturing, robotics, and machine tools are among the updates to MTConnect Institute’s 1.6.0 version released last fall. One unexpected but highly relevant term – humidity – is significant to AM processes and therefore included in the new version.
New AM Alloy Swings Open 3D Options for Turbines and More
EOS NickelAlloy IN939 from German 3D metals printer company, EOS, combines high-temperature strength – at over 1500 degrees F – with crack and corrosion resistance. Its potential ranges from industrial gas turbine and microturbine parts to turbochargers, power industry parts and other extreme-conditions applications.
Change 3D Metal Printer’s Deposition Head While Printing, Coating
Chiron Group’s flexible additive manufacturing machine – the Chiron AM Cube – is designed with laser metal deposition technology to work efficiently in the mechanical engineering, tool manufacturing, energy production, and aerospace sectors. Its three deposition heads can perform different functions on a single workpiece.
We’re Closer Than Ever to First-Time-Right 3D Metal Printing
In its drive to develop an end-to-end solution for additive manufacturing, Siemens Digital Industries Software offers tools that simulate the printing process at various levels. To minimize the expensive quality-refinement process, modules identify and correct areas of malformation and shrinkage.
Wayland Additive Awarded ISO 9001 Certification
The maker of NeuBeam says the certification objectively affirms the quality of their innovation in metal AM for production applications, as well as the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction.
CERATIZIT Wins Innovation Award
Luxembourg company is recognized for the additive manufacturing of carbide parts, providing solution for small volumes and high component complexity.
Software Enables Both Additive And Subtractive Applications
When coupled with an MPiec controller, machine tool builders and experienced CNC programmers can use Yaskawa Compass graphical user software to design HMI hybrid machines as well as 3D printing, shape cutting, and robotics.
3D Printer Processes Wider Range of Metal Materials
Unlike electron beam and laser powder bed fusion (PBF), Wayland Additive’s Calibur 3 uses NeuBeam technology, which focuses heat on the part instead of the process bed. As a result, the machine is able to process refractory metals and highly reflective alloys.
Large-Format 3D Printer Doesn’t Need Support Structures to Ensure Quality
Featuring a build volume of 600 mm x 550 mm, VELO3D’s extra-capacity Sapphire XC uses Flow print-preparation software and Assure quality assurance software to manufacture high-quality parts without using support structures.
Economical 3D Printer for Medical and Dental Devices
Featuring two 300-watt lasers, melt pool and process monitoring, and end-to-end documentation that corroborates quality, Trumpf’s TruPrint 2000 requires fewer add-ons, making the entry-level investment lower for companies that want to get into additive manufacturing.
Selective Laser Melting Systems for Any Size Shop
With a build envelope of 11 by 11 by 14 inches, SLM Solutions’ SLM 280 2.0 is ideal for medium-to-high-volume additive manufacturing. With its build envelope of almost 2 square feet, the 12-laser NXG XII is designed for peak production.
