Design the Ideal Floor Layout for Cobotic Production and/or Assembly
Delmia Robotics’ software from Dassault Systemes maximizes automation initiatives by enabling manufacturers to design and virtually test a drilling-and-riveting, arc welding, spot welding, and/or material handling line before rolling it out.
End-Effector Kits Increase Cobot Flexibility
Do you own a Fanuc CRX cobot? Thinking of buying one? ATI Industrial Automation’s end-effector kits make the most of your investment by enabling applications including deburring, orbital sanding, tool changing, and force/torque sensing.
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.
Manufacturing Software is ‘Single Source of Truth’ For Product, Process, Quality
Siemens extends Xcelerator portfolio with enterprise-wide quality management system. Teamcenter Quality provides an all-geographies collaboration platform that also enables engineers to establish their own parameters for excellence.
How A Global Metal Fabricator Standardized Design and Manufacturing Processes
U.S.-based AGCO makes five brands of agricultural equipment at 40 plants on six continents. To bring order to the potential chaos of model-year changes and new product introductions, the company deployed software for a design anywhere, build anywhere strategy.
Design Is Destiny If You Want To Optimize Beveling
Even the most sophisticated nesting software won’t eliminate the need to manually finish an edge if the job’s not thought through from start to finish. Follow these three best practices to minimize wasted time and material.
Higher-Power Fiber Laser Cutters = Higher Yields
Fiber laser machines are no longer available just with 4kW and 6kW. As machines become more powerful, fabricators are taking advantage of the ability to cut a wider range of material types and thicknesses, faster cutting and piercing speeds, and better edge quality.
Quick-Change Robotic Arm Gripper
The RV36 Gripper from Kurt Workholding saves space and money while improving efficiency with quick-change, customizable jaws and custom accessories. Its double-acting piston allows for maximum clamping and un-clamping force.
