CNC Machining Services: One Machine, Many Functions

An overview of CNC machining services, contributed by RapidDirect

Computer numeric controlled machining (CNC) is a manufacturing process, first introduced between the 1940s and 1950s.

The process involves different accurate cutting instruments that remove material from the item – contingent upon the Computer Aided Drawing (CAD), with cutting edge programming tools can control.

This manufacturing process helps you in designing a sketch for production with the opportunity of altering and making changes. [Read more…] about CNC Machining Services: One Machine, Many Functions

ProCom to launch new controller at EMO event

ProCom is planning to officially launch its new CNC machine controller at the forthcoming EMO event, scheduled to be held from September 16th to 21st, 2019, in Hannover, Germany.

ProCom says the CNC300PRO is its most powerful controller in the CNC300 product range, an is designed for maximum speed and precise laser cutting.

The new, ultra-modern IPC can be scaled as needed in terms of memory and processor performance, offering the best possible configuration for any application. [Read more…] about ProCom to launch new controller at EMO event

Robotic surgery startup claims to be first to enable laser cutting of bone tissue

A robotic surgery startup in Switzerland claims to have become the first to enable the laser cutting of bone tissue.

Bones in humans have been cut using saw for “thousands of years”, says Advanced Osteotomy Tools, adding that the company now offers the “technology reinvent bone surgery”.

The instrument AOT has developed is called “Carlo”, short for “cold ablation robot-guided laser osteotomes”. [Read more…] about Robotic surgery startup claims to be first to enable laser cutting of bone tissue

Endurance invents new new diode laser for 3D printers

Endurance Robots claims it has invented a “powerful diode laser” which can convert 3D printers and CNC routers into laser engraving and cutting machines.

The new 5.6 watt laser follows Endurance’s 2.1 watt laser which was launched a couple of years ago.

The company says its new laser is easy to install and quick to start cutting or engraving.

The laser can be used to engrave many materials, such as wood, plywood, fabric, felt, acrylic, ABS, PLA, cardboard, hardboard, says the company.

Yaskawa to showcase new customer machines at IMTS

Giant robot maker to provide platform to innovators using Yaskawa technology in their solutions

The banners and graphics of Yaskawa booth E-4154 at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) will clearly display the logo of Yaskawa America, but the most notable features of the company’s 2016 exhibit will not be operating under the Yaskawa name.

The focus will be on two machines from companies that are doing a particularly impressive job of putting the features of Yaskawa motion automation components to use.

MachMotion of Newburg, Missouri will be showing an engraver that makes use of Yaskawa’s new Sigma-7 servo systems and the latest MP3300iec motion controller. [Read more…] about Yaskawa to showcase new customer machines at IMTS
