MACHINE SERIES DELIVERS UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE, DESIGNED FOR SUPERIOR RELIABILITY
MC Machinery Systems, Inc. introduced its newest waterjet technology, the DX Series. Mitsubishi Waterjet?s DX Series delivers technology and machines designed for superior performance and reliability. The Mitsubishi 700 Series CNC control delivers advanced programming capabilities for high-precision machining and unprecedented productivity.
COST-EFFECTIVE WATERJET TECHNOLOGY FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
KNUTH Machine Tools USA, Inc. offers the improved Hydro-Jet Eco 0615, a high-precision, low cost water-jet cutting system. The Hydro-Jet allows small business owners the ability to manage deadlines and quality control by bringing outsourced work in-house.
HIGH PRECISION HIGH-RAIL WATERJET SHAPE CUTTING MACHINE
ESAB Cutting offers its Hydrocut HR, a high precision high-rail machine designed with ball screw drives. It allows easy access to all sides of cutting table, and features 8 ft x 4 ft, 12 ft x 6 ft or 12 ft x 12 ft cutting areas.
COMPACT FLYING BRIDGE WATERJET CUTTING SYSTEM
Flow International’s Compact Flying Bridge is fully enclosed, making it easy to place next to other equipment. Its completely integrated design offers all of the advantages of abrasive waterjet cutting at an affordable price. This machining center fits easily onto a crowded shop floor.
ULTRA-HIGH-SPEED, HIGH TOLERANCE WATERJET WITH REPEATABILITY TO THE MICRON LEVEL
Looking for an ultra-high-speed, high tolerance waterjet with repeatability to the micron level, with self loading and unloading capability all while running multiple 5 axis cutting heads? The WARDJet L-Series range of waterjets could be just what you need.
NEW WATERJET SYSTEM OFFERS HIGH ACCURACY, SMALL FOOTPRINT
WARDJet?s Z-45 is built to allow the benefits of a large working capacity, yet take up only a small part of users’ precious floor space. The footprint for the gantry is approximately 6 ft x 7 ft. The Z-Series and R-Series waterjets are the highest accuracy waterjets WARDJet builds.
ABRASIVE SYSTEM SPECIALIZES IN 3D CUTTING
Flow International offers their AF-Series 5-Axis abrasive waterjet systems, which excel at three-dimensional cutting. Flow manufactures a complete line of turnkey systems for cutting complex shapes. The AF-Series cuts with precision accuracy, at speeds up to 400 in/min.
BROAD RANGE OF WELDING ROBOTS OFFERS CLASS-LEADING REACH AND LOAD CAPACITY
FANUC Robotics America Inc. offers its ARC Mate iC series welding robots. Their ARC Mate 120iC and ARC Mate 120iC/10L are the latest in the popular ARC Mate series of robots featuring a compact design and class-leading reach and load capacity. The new robots combined with the ARC Mate100iC, offer customers the broadest family of welding robots available.
THE ULTIMATE LEAN ROBOT FOR GENERAL INDUSTRY
ABB Robotics offers the fastest, most accurate, low-weight, medium-size robot ever developed for general industrial applications. The IRB 4600 features twice the working range, half the weight and a 25 percent better cycle time than comparable competitive models and the renowned ABB IRB 4400 model that it succeeds.
WELDING ROBOT: 43 PERCENT FASTER, IDEAL FOR HIGH-DENSITY LAYOUTS
Motoman’s quick and agile six-axis MS80 ?Master Spot? welding robot features an 80-kg (176.4 lb) payload and moves more than 43 percent faster than a traditional heavy-payload robot, resulting in shorter takt times and higher throughput.
SMART SEAM FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR ROBOTIC ARC WELDING APPLICATIONS
Servo Robot’s Robo-Find laser-based sensing system is designed to locate, detect and measure weld joints without making contact with the part. The system detects part position and dimensional variations, then signals the robot and adjusts torch trajectory all in less than one second. Robo-Find is ideal for robotic welding applications where precise joint location and fit-up is not possible, yet optimum weld quality and productivity is required.
SIMULATION SOFTWARE GIVES OFF-LINE PROGRAMMING 'REAL' ROBOT FEEL
Motoman’s MotoSim® EG (Motoman Simulator Enhanced Graphics) ? now available with Virtual Robot Controller (VRC) capability ? is a comprehensive software package that provides accurate 3D simulation of robot cells. With VRC, MotoSim EG operates and displays the actual programming pendant interface for the Motoman NX100 controller.
