The Products of PDx/Amerimold
View a slide show of the various products on display at PDx/Amerimold.
OSG Tap & Die’s Exocarb WXS end mills are designed for milling materials ranging in hardness from 54 to 70 HRc at high speeds. The custom, nano-technology coating, WXS, is said to increase tool life versus TiAlN coating.
Marposs’ 3D Shape Inspector part measurement and verification software is designed for machine tools with as many as five axes.
Designed to machine complex geometries, Makino’s F3 VMC is designed for rigidity and micron-range positioning accuracies and repeatability. The high-performance machine also features flexible tooling capabilities and quality control technologies.
Two features incorporated in Delcam’s CAD and CAM software packages help users save time during design and machine tool programming. PowerShape CAD software features an integrated Parasolid kernel, while its PowerMill CAM package leverages parallel processing to speed calculation times.
Traditionally, electrodes are measured in two different ways: either directly in the erosion machine, which then is not able to produce parts during that time and thus causes production loss, or on a CMM, which primarily measures parts and not cutting tools. However, Zoller says its Smile EDM quickly and easily measures both cutting tools and electrodes to micron-range precision.
Version 7 of the Vericut machine simulation, verification and optimization software is designed to eliminate manual prove-out of NC programs. The software features performance-improving enhancements that reduce the time required for manufacturing engineers to develop, analyze, inspect and document the CNC programming and machining process.
