Delcam’s stand (C05 in Hall 4) at the Milan EMO exhibition in October will feature a demonstration system for the polishing of turbine blades by robot.  The system, which has been developed by Delcam Professional Services in association with Finland-based JOT Automation, uses an ABB robot driven by a combination of Delcam software including PowerMILL Robot and PowerINSPECT.

During the development of the process, simulations were undertaken in PowerMILL Robot to ensure that the robot could complete the progress of the blades around the cell without any collisions or any singularities resulting in erratic movements.

As well as showing how...

The On-Machine Verification version of Delcam’s PowerINSPECT inspection software provides “an invaluable tool” according to Process Application Engineer, Stewart Seedhouse, from the Makino-NCMT Grinding Division.  The technology saves both Makino-NCMT and its customers considerable amounts of time and money.

PowerINSPECT OMV uses probing equipment on the machine tool to allow initial checking of parts to be carried out in situ on the machine rather than having to transfer them to coordinate-measuring machines for inspection. 

NCMT has represented the complete Makino range of machining centres in the UK for many years.  In 2006, in recognition of the company’s leadership in the application of...

Vero Software (“Vero”) has licensed D-Cubed software, developed by Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business, to help improve motion simulation studies.

Vero selected D-Cubed AEM (Assembly Engineering Manager) and CDM (Collision Detection Manager) to help users perform motion studies directly within VISI 21, Vero’s fully integrated design and manufacturing solution for the Mold & Die industry.

"VISI customers need to model the complex motion of parts in mold and die assemblies accurately and rapidly,” said Marco Cafasso, Product Development Manager, Vero Software. “Using our graphic timeline, operators can control the start and end movement cycles for various groups of components....

Building machinery, equipment and furniture for the medical, surgical and pharmaceutical sector is a true technological challenge for companies in the industry. The material has to meet strict standards for safety, quality, reliability, precision and hygiene. Most of the equipment, in one way or another, is in contact with patients and medical staff and is also, on many occasions, key to saving many lives. Manufactures in this sector are fully aware of these circumstances, and, for that reason, in recent years they have invested significant time and energy in R&D to improve their products. In this process of continuous improvement,...
