BOOTH: 1026 CGTech to Demonstrate VERICUT 9.2

VERICUT is a recognized industry leader in simulating traditional machining and additive capabilities, including hybrid CNC machines, to prevent errors and verify entire NC manufacturing processes end-to-end. VERICUT 9.2 increases productivity and sustainability with improvements to collision checking and overall performance, as well as enhanced support for “intelligent” cutting tools with cutting performance information and detailed tool reporting. Also added is a 3DLive interface to import GDML files, enabling users to create realistic digital machines and add other moving components (rotary tables, articulating heads, fixtures with moving clamps, etc.) for more realistic simulation quickly and easily.

BOOTH: 1208 Kawasaki’s NEW RS013N Robot – An Evolution of the R Series

Both the Kawasaki RS007N and RS007L robots continue to offer the operational advantages of the R series robots while incorporating a newly redesigned arm structure and main-unit weight reductions. These enhancements result in the fastest operating speeds in these robots' class (12,100 mm/s) along with increased working ranges. The new robot’s design includes a new arm structure, drive system and lighter main unit, which enables high speeds and a large working area. Its 1,460 mm reach is the largest in its class, allowing for installation flexibility and use in a wider variety of applications.

BOOTH: 1627 Gun Barrel Reaming Machine for Low-Volume Manufacturers

The Eldorado M75-48-R1 is a single-spindle reaming machine designed for lowervolume gun barrel manufacturers. The new Eldorado reaming machine has only a single spindle and requires manual loading of the barrels and reamer tooling. This makes the Eldorado machine smaller and less expensive, which makes it perfect for low-volume barrel manufacturers. The Eldorado M75-48-R1 has a maximum reaming diameter of 0.75 inches (19 mm) and a maximum barrel length of 36 inches (914 mm). Eldorado machines are designed and manufactured by Kays Engineering in their Marshall, Missouri, USA facility.
