IMTS PAVILION: FABRICATING & LASERS


mation. The Eagle V5 is designed to be an ultra-rigid five-axis vertical machining center with the capacity to handle a 550- lb (247.5 kg) workpiece on a 15.75" (400-mm) table surface. The EDM lineup includes the MV1200R, MV1200S, MV2400ST and MV4800. The Roku HC54EX, DM Series mills and Lumex Avance-25 round out the full list of what you can expect to see in the booth.


ABB Robotics, booth N-6251, will showcase a variety of advanced and vision-guided automation technologies designed to optimize machine tool efficiency and increase manufacturing productivity. The systems are quick and easy to install, feature a friendly human/machine interface and are suited for the full variety of machining applications and industries.


The highlight of the ABB exhibit is the FlexMT 60 Machine


Tool Tending System a flexible, pre-engineered system de- signed to load and unload machine tools using vision guided robotics. Designed for both small-batch and high-volume production, the FlexMT increases spindle utilization by up to 60% over manual machine tending. The system can handle most any size and type of part, and is compatible with a wide range of machine tools, including horizontal and vertical lathes, machining centers, five-axis machines and grinders. The FlexMT 60 includes an ABB IRB 4600 robot with a 60-kg payload and a 2.05-m reach. A second model, the FlexMT 20, features an ABB IRB 2600 robot with a 20-kg payload and a 1.65-m reach.


Other exhibits in this pavilion will highlight in-process mon- itoring, multifunctional beam capabilities, as well as commu- nity collaboration on design, simulation, materials and quality to produce the most capable systems to support industrial manufacturing applications.


This is also the place to find plasma technologies, bend- ing machines, coiling equipment, forming equipment, press brakes and shears, presses, heat treating equipment, metal forming & fabricating, laser icon welding equipment, waterjet cutting machines, laser systems and equipment, marking machines, pipe/tube benders, robotics, stamping equipment, punching equipment, iron workers and roll forming. —Sarah A.

Slug Retention Machine The SlugKeeper slug retention machine uses a pneumati- cally-powered grinder to precisely machine a small angled groove into the sidewall of the die cavity in a stamping die in order to prevent slugs from pulling onto the die surface where they can damage the metal strip, the stamped part or the stamping die itself. The device includes a one thumb screw to quickly adjust the grinder height, a plunger-style grinder head assembly, and a grinder head adjustable depth stop to control the grinder’s depth into the die cavity. The grinder assembly is adjustable to three height positions, each ½” (12.7 mm) apart, enabling it to work with a wider range of part thicknesses, and features flex lights which the operator can position to see clearly into the cavity, providing better visual inspection of the work area. The groove produced by the grinder is 0.025–0.127-mm deep and machined at an angle of 3–5° to the die surface, which creates a precise amount of slug interference. DTC Products Corp.

Universal Compliance Compensator ATI’s newest addition to their compliance device product line is a universal compliance compensator (UCC) that allows axial, lateral, pivoting, and twist compliance with a pressurized internal reset piston to bias the position. The UCC joins ATI’s other recently developed pivoting compli-
