Coil Punching and Cutting Produtech Srl’s (Bergamo, Italy;
www.produtech.it) innovative systems allow for working with any type of sheet metal, even the coil itself. The systems can work untended, ensuring high produc- tivity. All tools loaded in the punching machine are indexed, mak- ing it possible to cut profiles of every shape, and manage the cut and deformation wheels. Fiber laser technology allows for a fast and perfect cut on highly reflective met- als
such as
aluminum, brass and
copper. The laser is easy to use, economical and safe because it doesn’t require an optical path to transmit the laser beam and the focal lens to focus it. This new technology reduces the expense of both maintenance and consumables.
Machine guards REPAR2 di Carnovali Marco Ottavio (Gorla Minore, Italy; www.
repar2.com) guards for production equipment is made from heavy-gauge steel and highly resistant polycarbonate screens. Guards for grinding equipment are installed directly in front of the grinding wheel, protecting the operator from accidental wheel shattering, sparks and chips. The screen itself is moveable thanks to a wheel-and-rail system installed in front of the table. The rail system can be positioned so that all control levers and buttons are accessible to the operator. All REPAR2 guards come equipped with a latching safety interlock switch, so the machine can only be operated when the door is closed. Once the machine is set in motion, the guard locks in position and cannot be opened until hydraulics or rotating components are stopped. REPAR2 di Car- novali Marco Ottavio is
also pleased to announce that Halliburton, one of the world’s largest providers of products and services to the energy industry with more than 75,000 employees, representing 140 nationalities in approxi- mately 80 countries is now a new customer of REPAR2 machine guards for the safety on metal working machines. Supply made by Ferndale Machinery, Distributor in North America Halliburton fully relied on Ferndale Machinery’s expertise to assess and propose OSHA compliant safety guards to secure their machines with RE- PAR2 products. As an example, REPAR2 guards models PR/1 and PR/3 with built-in interlock switches were used to secure one of the most dangerous machines in any shop: cylindrical grinders.

Software Performances and
Hardware Configurations From Prima Electro (Torino, Italy;
www.primaelectro.it), an ex- pert in control systems for specialist, high-speed metal cutting machines, comes a new OSAI CNC family called OPENcontrol, an evolution of the former
OSAI 10
Series. The system is based on a Win- dows CE platform and offers full inte- gration of the origi- nal 10 Series. This innovative product offers
great scal-
ability in software performances and hardware configurations, plus a great availability of digital field- buses. OPENcontrol systems can be configured as part of a factory network or as a standalone solution, also featuring a powerful HMI and I/O system. Within the system, OPENcontrol software can move up to 64 axes using 40 channels, each one interpolating up to 12 axes simultaneously. The system allows users to explore general motion control applications with pro- duction process management and axis interpolation, which is implemented for 2D, 2½D (OPEN-20) and 3D machining (OPEN- 30) with TCP, HSM and volumetric compensation.
