Delcam
Delcam will launch the 2012 version of its PowerMILL CAM system for high-speed and five-axis machining at CMTS. The new release will include a number of new strategies, together with more general enhancements to make programming faster and machining more efficient with the best-possible surface finish. The most important new option is flowline machining.  With flowline machining, the toolpath is divided between a pair of drive curves in a constant number of passes, rather than having a varying number of passes with a constant stepover.

Other enhancements include an additional spiral machining strategy, plus more control in 5-axis for angular point distribution. In addition, thread milling options have been added, and workplane editing, and Z-height selecion and limiting, have been made easier.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products
ESAB CNC plasma cutting machines are now available with Precision Hole Technology, an integrated set of systems that improve hole cutting cylindricity as well as delivering the highest possible edge quality. This new system takes advantage of the advanced gas control capabilities already available in ESAB’s m3 Plasma systems by capturing the best hole cutting techniques in ESAB’s new Columbus.NET programming software. Precision Hole Technology also utilizes ESAB’s unique encoder-based height control, as well as the VISION 5x series of CNCs. This new technology is available on new ESAB cutting machines and can also be retrofitted on many existing ESAB machines in the field. ESAB’s m3 Plasma system features an automatic gas control that has always had the capability to mix and switch shield gases as required. The Process Database built in to the VISION T5 CNC is now expanded with the additional data required for small hole cutting. The required data is embedded automatically, either by the Columbus.NET software or by the EasyShape library.  Operation is simplified, and no special operator intervention is required to take advantage of this feature.

TRUMPF Canada
TRUMPF Canada will feature the TruPunch 3000 at the CMTS. With its 4’ x 8‘ format, the TruPunch 3000 offers innovative, skeleton-free punching. The resource-efficient machine’s small footprint, compact automation concept, gentle handling of materials, and skeleton free processing puts the power of choice in customers’ hands. The TruPunch 3000 with its electric punching head technology averages electrical consumption of about 5 kW, which makes the machine very energy efficient. With skeleton free processing, an average of 10% higher material utilization is realized as well as additional process reliability. Part sorting or tabbing are available, and the machine also features scratch-free small part sorting for parts from the parts flap or the scrap sorting unit. Because the punching head is not in continuous use in the TruPunch 3000, another innovative feature has been added to the machine: an electric punching head. It’s quiet, and in contrast to the hydraulic version it uses very little power in standby mode. In punching mode it’s also more efficient, which adds up to power consumption that’s two kilowatts less per hour than the predecessor model. Thanks to its high rotation speed, the electric punching head is very fast when it comes to rotating tools or forming threads.

OMAX Corporation
OMAX Corporation will demonstrate its 80X JetMachining Center at the CMTS in Spark & Co.’s booth wher visitors will experience this large format abrasive waterjet system equipped with the revolutionary EnduroMax pump and Tilt-A-Jet cutting nozzle. Ideal for large-scale precision machining of larger or multiple parts, the 80X JetMachining Center is equipped with Intelli-TRAX, an innovative traction drive that ensures higher accuracy. The 80X  comes standard with OMAX Intelli-MAX Software Suite, which runs on the Windows 7 Ultimate operating system. The machine has the ability to cut a wide variety of materials, including ceramics, composites, plastic, glass and stone, as well as metals like aluminum, tool steel, stainless steel, mild steel and titanium with an accuracy of motion up to +/- 0.003 inches (0.076 mm). The EnduroMAX pump provides double the operating life of previous pumps, and makes for faster part processing, lower operating costs, and easier maintenance. It maximizes machine uptime with its 1,000-hour operating range between required pump rebuilds when run at 55,000 psi (3,800 bar). The pump can also effortlessly run continuously at 60,000 psi (4,100 bar). The Tilt-A-Jet cutting nozzle, allows OMAX JetMachining Centers to achieve virtually zero taper. By automatically calculating and adjusting the angle of the nozzle through the controller software, the Tilt-A-Jet transfers taper from the part being cut to the scrap material. OMAX customers do not have to purchase new equipment to take advantage of these two revolutionary accessories as the company offers retrofit kits for both.

Modular, quick change tooling
BENZ Solidfix for Live Tools, Angle Heads and Multi-Spindle heads reduces setup times up to 90% vs. standard equipped tools.  The modular quick-change-system BENZ Solidfix   can be operated with one hand, without the use of any special tooling. With one simple turn of the clamping screw by 180° the tool adapter and respectively the tool is fixed. Tool change can be done in as little as 7 seconds.  A safety bayonet ensures that when the tension on the adapter is released the tool cannot fall out, but rather will only release after an additional turning motion from the operator, avoiding damage to expensive tools. Furthermore, with its resistance controlled clamping over tightening and the resulting damage to the tool cannot occur…no torque needs to be observed.  With the BENZ Solidfix quick-change-system’s high-precision design with a large contact surface and high clamping forces, even in high stress milling applications the tool is fixed solid.
