Cincinnati Incorporated to launch new fibre laser and portable electric press Brake at FABTECH 2016
C
incinnati® Incorporated (CI) a leading provider of built-to-order machine tools, announces its
participation as an exhibitor at FABTECH 2016 (November 16-18, Las Vegas, NV).
Located in booth C31102 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the exhibit will feature the company’s latest product lines - the CL-960 fiber laser, the MAXFORM high speed hydraulic press brake, and the recently introduced GOFORM electric press brake.
The CL-960 laser boasts a 6,000W light source and will show a fresh look packed with a number of new features. In addition to fiber laser’s fast cutting speed and
precision, the CL-960 leverages air assist cutting technology to further reduce production costs. CI’s GOFORM is a 40 ton, portable electric press brake with 6-axis backgaging. The system is equipped with the same HMI control standard on other CI press brake models. Also on display will be a replica of the Orion spacecraft showcasing CI’s BAAM (Big Area Additive Manufacturing) 3D printing capabilities. CINCINNATI marketing manager, Matt Garbarino comments: “We’re naturally excited to be participating once again in North America’s premier show for the metal fabrication industry. With its extensive collection of fabricators, machinery, software, and service
providers, FABTECH offers a unique opportunity to showcase our latest in metal fabrication and additive manufacturing technologies. Anyone looking to enhance cutting and forming capabilities, part quality and shop floor efficiency should make it a point to see what CINCINNATI has to offer.” More information:

MMK employs Yandex Data Factory solution
OJSC Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (“MMK” or “the Company”) announces that a recommendation service, developed by Yandex Data Factory specifically for MMK, has completed tests at the mill’s oxygen converter plant and was brought into pilot production in late June – early July 2016. Preliminary tests indicate
that this new solution can deliver average savings of 5% on ferroalloys. Annual savings may potentially exceed RUB 275 mln. Yandex Data Factory’s solution
incorporates a machine learning algorithm and big data analysis. It optimises the consumption of ferroalloys and supplementary materials during steel production at the oxygen converter plant. It combines data on the original composition and mass of the burden on the required chemical composition of the

steel produced with data on other production parameters. It provides operators with recommendations on the use of ferroalloys and additional materials in real-time. The project, known as Sniper, is aimed at producing steel with the target chemical composition at the lowest possible cost. Sniper is an MMK project that uses big data technologies – processing large sets of data to improve the management process and optimise production, and has been in development since 2015. MMK-Informservice (an MMK Group subsidiary) developed the data collection system and user interface, and Yandex Data Factory developed the service providing recommendations.
“MMK is a pioneer among industrial companies in Russia in terms of digital technologies. Our joint project with Yandex
Data Factory is part of a new wave in production automation involving big data. We believe that mathematical models using big data combined with the dynamic development of the Internet of Things will make it possible for industrial companies to cut costs by 5-10% over the next 3-5 years,” says MMK’s Deputy CEO for Finance and Economy Sergey Sulimov. “Yandex Data Factory
works with clients from various industries, and it was a pleasant surprise for us when a leading company in the metal sector expressed interest in adopting new technologies. Despite perceived conservative views, the metals industry, which relies heavily on technologies and engineering, in fact proved more flexible than many other sectors.” “We appreciate MMK’s openness to adopting new

technologies in this sector. It is thanks to this interest, and to the machine learning technologies themselves, that the project has been a success. We intend to further develop our cooperation.” “The experience we gained
in the course of our joint project demonstrates the importance of moving from rhetoric about the sector’s bright future to practical solutions in a timely fashion. We hope other companies and industries will follow MMK’s example and rather than wait for the application of new technologies to become clear, that they start using these technologies today,” said Chief Operating Officer of Yandex Data Factory Alexander Khaytin.
