automated?
• How are these investments justi-
fied?
“I’ll explore these topics and more,”
Wenzel pledges, “to help metal forming companies bring automated solu- tions—fixed automation as well as flex- ible systems—into their operations.”
Condition Monitoring, Sensor Selection and AM
To discuss best practices that metal forming companies can use when installing continuous conditioning- monitoring technology, Joe Bortolame- olli, a product specialist at Brankamp Corp., will guide conference attendees through the process of optimizing equipment throughput and consisten- cy. Bortolameolli will explain how this technology helps shops reduce main- tenance costs by making accurate record-taking more straightforward and available in real time.
Want to better understand the var- ious types of sensors available to help companies implement condition-mon-
itoring technology and for other Indus- try 4.0 applications? It’s hard to find someone better suited to cover this critical Industry 4.0 dimension than Will Health III, global supply chain information officer at Balluff. Healy also will share advice on sensor selec- tion, best practices for implementation and more.
Finally, learn from several case stud- ies describing how metal formers and fabricators are leveraging AM to quickly and efficiently evolve from idea to end part, whether tooling up a bending cell or empowering system integrators. Speakers: Daniel Leong, product mar- keting manager, and Ross Adams, prod- uct manager, Markforged. MF
