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.

Maximizing metal-cutting productivity requires more than simply applying high cutting speeds and feed rates.

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

By reducing interpass and post-weld cleanup with the FabCOR Edge XP wire, K-Line Trailers has seen a 10 percent to 15 percent increase in productivity.

Nikel Precision Group also implemented solutions that optimize tool performance to improve quality, as well as production intelligence that provides real-time insights into factory performance.

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

With Lantek MES, the entire manufacturing process can be tracked from planning through execution, allowing operators to group parts according to various criteria, such as machines, materials, thicknesses, customer and delivery date.

Emuge-Franken’s multi-functional carbide tool took home first place at Tool of ANCA’s sixth Tool of the Year Awards.
