largest benefits to Production Module users will be cycle time reductions of 30–80%, while simultaneously improving tool life. Engineers who use Production Module are able to work offline to gain better tool life information than other simulation packages or trial-and-error testing. To obtain this information, Production Module uses a library of more than 120 experi- mentally validated material models to reduce machining time, improve product quality and get products to market faster.

Dual-Channel CNC


Company will showcase the cost-effective dual-channel CNC kernel for designers of small-to-medium-size machines with up to five axes. The latest addition to the Flexium+ platform is the dual-channel Flexium+ 8 CNC kernel, which provides an exceptionally high level of control flexibility. At any time, either CNC channel can be used to control a spindle motor and four simultaneously interpolated axes— and control can be passed on-the-fly from one channel


to the other. This simplifies the design of complex machines with multiple synchronization requirements, such as thread or gearcutters, and in many cases eliminates the need for a second CNC kernel. NUM will also be providing software dem- onstrations of complete conversational and cycle solutions de- veloped specifically for the North American market. Based on Flexium+ systems, these include solutions for gear hobbing, shaping and grinding, OD/ID grinding and metal spinning. NUM Corp.

Industrial Vending System


front-end software works with Renishaw’s comprehensive MO- DUS program to allow operators to manage the remastering process based on temperature limits, number of parts or time since the last master. A status bar graph shows inspection results for the last part measured as a proportion of tolerance either side of nominal. Operators can configure the system to set extra warning limits on part features, beyond the pass/ fail tolerance limits already set by the inspection program, allowing them to take action before a process reaches 100% of tolerance. The bar graph turns orange at the warning limit and if the pass/fail tolerance is exceeded, the bar turns red and remastering is enforced with an on-screen message to the operator.

The Cribmaster X3 is a modular industrial benchtop vend- ing solution that offers compact vending anywhere within manufacturing operations without sacrificing valuable space on the shop floor. The X3 combines both helix and carousel dispensing, designed for smaller-scale point-of-use vending of high-volume inven- tory. The system is suitable for storing and distributing any type of PPE or MRO inventory, especially small items such as single inserts which have been difficult to dispense in the past. The system features simple log-in and operating
