Zero-point clamping, ceramic tooling, AI in CAM, MES for palletized cells and more. Every session is free to attend, and every one is recorded if the live time does not work for you.
Zero-point clamping cuts setup time and improves repeatability across a family of machines. Knowing where to start is the hard part. This session covers the implementation options worth considering and the questions to ask before a system reaches your floor.
A mechanically solid machine running outdated controls is still a valuable asset. Ingersoll walks through two levels of machine optimization, plus case studies, showing what to keep and what to upgrade instead of replacing the whole machine.
Bill Berrien, CEO of Pindel Global Precision, explains how his team built a digital thread across engineering, inspection, production, compliance and delivery, and what it took organizationally to make it hold together.
Palletized cells are high-output and hard to track. Eric Doyle, operations manager at RCO Engineering, gives a candid look at why standard MES fell short on those machines and what changed after layering purpose-built tracking onto Epicor.
Caracol's Nils Niemeyer and Leslie Bush break down the microfactory model, combining robotic large-format additive, multi-axis CNC milling and process intelligence to build large industrial parts near the point of use.
Ceramic tools can cut cycle times in the right applications. Machining experts cover where ceramic outperforms carbide, which grades suit which materials and operations, and how to implement them without guessing.
CloudNC programmer Mathieu Thiem shows how human-led AI fits into real CAM workflows, speeding up toolpath generation while the programmer keeps the judgment calls.
How much of the AI conversation actually improves CNC programming? This session cuts through the noise with live demonstrations of AI-powered capabilities in CAMWorks.
Supply chain disruption, labor shortages and more custom orders are pushing fabrication shops to do more with less. Learn practical ways to gain shop floor visibility, simplify job tracking and put AI to work where it actually helps.
Harmoni co-founder David Caputo introduces factory orchestration, why it is the next step past traditional shop floor systems, and how manufacturers are building a stronger data foundation for AI.
The real-world behavior and performance of a machine depends on use case much more than the numbers listed on its spec sheet. View email in your browser ...
Rotary transfer machines remain well-suited for high-volume production, but are now more accommodating to smaller batch sizes. View email in your browser ...
