Machine Control Providers at IMTS 2018 to Focus on Connected Systems
CHICAGO — Job shops don’t have the luxury of scrapping multiple parts to refine a program. They need the first part to be a good part, but achieving this goal has become a bigger challenge as designers have increased part complexity to take advantage of expanding machine capabilities.
“Job shops have to keep pace with new control technology to keep scrape rates low,” said Gisbert Ledvon, TNC business development manager, Heidenhain Corporation. “Continuing to use outdated controls for complex parts is like Einstein’s definition of insanity. If you expect different and better results, then explore the new Control and CAD-CAM technologies showcased at IMTS 2018.”
