Lantek representatives will be at Fabtech 2022’s booth B6332, ready to discuss the latest sheet metal cutting solutions with attendees. Lantek Expert is a premier 2D CAD/CAM nesting program created to optimize every phase of the sheet metal manufacturing process.
If a milling cutter is guided by a robot, the machining is fundamentally more unstable than on a machining centre. To reliably ensure the shortest cycle times in industrial production in this instance, KADIA is using MAPAL’s FlyCutter with three cutting edges in a newly developed system with three robots for deburring battery trays for electric vehicles.
Universal Robots has grown its welding application segment with more than 80% this year as partners develop new capabilities for the pioneering cobot welders. At FABTECH, Universal Robots’ booth will showcase new solutions from Vectis Automation and Hirebotics, enabling the weldment of larger and more complex parts.
Hexagon and Raytheon Technologies partner to deliver a simulation tool that will enable evaluation and optimization of metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes through the prediction of thermal history and defects at the laser path and powder layer scale.
On November 9, 2022, Seco Tools and selected partners will host the hybrid live event, Automotive & General Engineering ITI. Machining demonstration sessions as well as expert presentations will introduce the latest solutions for automotive manufacturing and general engineering. Hosted physically in the new Innovation Hub in Erkrath near Düsseldorf, Germany, the German Auto ITI program will be streamed live online. In addition, an English stream will be available sharing highlights and interviews from the live German event.
On 22 September 2022, GF Machining Solutions released version 1.12.5 of its CAM software for texturing, engraving and micromachining Laser machines. This release includes two major new features: 3DCurvesTM and FlexiBlastTM, incorporated in LaserDesignTM.
Mastercam Mill offers expanded machining flexibility and an increased emphasis on speed and automation. Multiaxis features, 3D enhancements, and 2D high-speed toolpaths combine with dozens of additional new enhancements in a software package intended to improve shop floor productivity.
