IMTS 2022 Conference: Automation and Monitoring as a Subsequent Technology to Optimize Utilization

About the presentation
We’ll discuss new computer numerical controls (CNC) and process monitoring technology, focusing on the digital twin with dynamic collision monitoring and machine component monitoring with overall process monitoring. Attendees will learn how to make the digital shop floor a reality using the latest CNC motion control technology, related software and hardware components, and modern 5-axis machining centers. We’ll discuss important process steps from program preparation to part setup and in process monitoring. The presentation will conclude with an explanation on how the overall process monitoring can help improve process reliability and keep the machine usability rate high.
