Basic trends in modern manufacturing are driving growth in 3D optical metrology. “One is the highly complex and high-tech material that manufacturers are using today. For example, in the aerospace turbine blade market, they simply cannot touch the part like they used to—the surface finish of the material is too readily affected by any kind of contact metrology."

For ABB, robotic welding comes down to a never-ending process of ensuring parts are suitable for laser joining and developing the appropriate processes. To that end, ABB is refining a recent innovation to improve beam delivery speeds and has developed software for on-the-fly welding in tandem with Trumpf’s Intelligent Programmable Focusing Optic (IPFO).

Lasers — well-established tools in the manufacture of medical devices—are continuing to break ground by producing smaller, more precise and more functional parts thanks to faster pulse speeds at lower cost, new applications and the marriage of laser processing to Swiss-style machining.

In the last seven to eight years, solid-state lasers have come to dominate laser welding and cutting,” said Tom Bailey, product specialist for Trumpf Inc. (Farmington, CT). While Trumpf still produces CO2 lasers, for most applications solid-state lasers literally outshine them.

Lower operational costs, curb CO2 emissions, and create a better working environment

The International Manufacturing Technology Show set up shop today after a four-year break stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our annual celebration of leaders from every aspect of manufacturing who are bringing it into the future.

Predictive maintenance is a way to predict every possible scenario of hardware failure, identifying when maintenance is required and alerting maintenance staff, when necessary, as well as providing preventative solutions.

IMTS to highlight how wide-ranging processes are finding fresh ways to work together.

The best way to solve the skills gap is to ignite the already existing and yet dormant fuel of curiosity inside of young minds.
