INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION SUCCESS-OPTIMIZED CUTTING PROCESSES
Bandsaw blade strategy helps French firm grow business by more than 50% over the last five to eight years.
INCREASE MILL AND LATHE PRODUCTIVITY
Tormach’s plug-and-play AF50 automatic-feed bandsaw increases profitability by freeing employees to work on more complex jobs than manually prepping stock. Pneumatic clamping system with adjustable soft squeeze safely holds material while hydraulic feed control helps keep blade cutting straight.
RECONFIGURED BANDSAW BLADE LINE
Simonds Saw has stopped making Dieband, Blockbuster, and Broadband, IC Enduro, and X51 bandsaw blades and is replacing them with four new bimetal products: the Epic GP (general purpose), two SBX (structural blade extreme) blades, and the SiClone XP, which replaces the X51.
Robot Teaches ITSELF to Paint Parts
LestaUSA brings self-learning technology to U.S. manufacturers.
OPTICAL SEAM TRACKING SENSOR FOR AUTOMATED AND ROBOTIC WELDING APPLICATIONS
TH6x by Abicor Binzel corrects and tracks welding seam in real time.
MOBILE ROBOT FOR SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTION
KUKA’s wafer-handling solution from a single source is comprised of four components: a standardized automated guided vehicle (AGV); an LBR iiwa lightweight robot; sophisticated wafer handling application including gripper; and software.
A TOOLBOX FOR INDUSTRIAL ROBOT USERS
Program robotics fast with computer-based RobotStudio.
LARGE ABRASIVE CUTTER AND MEDIUM SECTIONING SAW
An automatic saw and a tabletop saw from Buehler provide consistency and repeatability in cutting production samples, saving preparation time in the quality control or inspection laboratory. Confidently cut production samples including automotive drive trains, gears, crankshafts, and engine components.
Tube-Sawing System with Automatic Changeover
BLM Group USA’s TS72 universal cold sawing CNC system for cutting tubes, bars, and profiles features an axis-control function that enables automated changeover for nonstop, unattended production. Particularly well-suited to small batch sizes, all adjustments and cutting parameters – material, blade type, and tube dimensions – are automatic to eliminate downtime.
One-System Robot-Compatibility Solution
Unified mechanical and electric interface for any OnRobot
end-of-arm tooling (EoAT) dramatically simplifies automation.
TOOTH IMPROVEMENTS INCREASE BANDSAW BLADE EFFECTIVENESS
Less prone to chipping when used for interrupted cuts and less expensive than carbide, tools made from M42 molybdenum-series high-speed steel alloy with 8% cobalt shorten cycle times by facilitating higher cutting speeds. Featuring a powdered metal M42 edge for harder teeth, Bahco’s 3851 Sandflex Cobra bandsaw blade provides smooth, precise cuts for general-purpose and production-cutting applications.
AUTOMATING MISSION-CRITICAL INSPECTION
Camera-equipped cobot enables contract manufacturer to market itself as supplier of high-quality automotive engine subassemblies.
