Esprit 2020 also provides expanded mill-turn support for the following machines: the Index G200 and G220, featuring two and three turrets, respectively, and a disk turret mounted on a B axis; the Miyano BNE 51 MSY, featuring three X axes and three Z axes; the Traub TNX, which performs simultaneous independent machining with up to four tool carriers; and the CMZ TTL, which has two turrets and two spindles. | DP Technology Corp. - Esprit I 800-627-8479 espritcam.com Maintenance Software Communicates with Sensors EZMaintain's cloud-based Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS) is designed to help manage assets, schedule breakdown and preventive maintenance, and track work orders from a single dashboard. Designed and built as a database-driven software, IM 5.0 is an integrated set of applications, including quality management modules like One-Click geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) extraction and automatic ballooning using advanced AI-driven OCR; inspection planning; data collection and organization; automated import of inspection results from coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), vision measuring machines (VMMs) and other connected measurement equipment; in-process shopfloor inspection results collection; creation of standard and custom forms and reports; Integrated SPC tracking and reporting; user-access security management control; ERP integration; and more. According to Fastems, advantages for work preparation and shop floor control include time-optimized, automated production planning that takes the entire process chain into account, along with automatic detailed planning that allows production with smaller part buffers, among other parameters. Operators seeking to maximize the accuracy of tools produced on CNC grinding machines generally use a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to obtain probed measurements of the machined part, using this information to influence the production process during subsequent machining operations, the company says. [...]Numroto users processed the results from the CMM with third-party compensation software running on an external computer before feeding a corrected target profile back into the CNC machine.
