Seeing is Believing: Shop-wide Performance Advantages

August 31, 2009

 

As I’ve mentioned before, you will be able to see, and believe, for yourselves at EMO in Milan in October. But I am continuing to discuss the benefits of the new CNC that will be announced. I can’t mention much more, but in addition to the machine performance enhancements mentioned in the last post, the CNC enables shop-wide improvements that can radically enhance productivity and increase profits.

  • Automatically maintains interpolation accuracy in kinematic transformations, eliminating need for outside calculations
  • Enables machine-to-machine communication across a shop-wide network
  • Production status alerts can be sent via cell phone text message
  • Video-like GUI transcends mere “graphical” programming and makes it exponentially easier to use
  • New programming efficiencies make functions and commands easier to learn and quicker to execute
