Educational Conference
machinery and maintain productivity, reduce injury, and comply with OSHA and ANSI standards.
1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Punch Press and Tooling Technology
Punch CAD/CAM Software Optimizes Machine Versatility
Focus will be on improvements in
CAD/CAM systems for punch machines that allow for tool path opti- mization and taking advantage of addi- tional processes. Realized efficiencies also will be showcased in the form of case studies.
Punch PressTooling Innovations
Attendees will learn ways in which the latest punch press tooling innova- tions can be used to enhance fabrication
productivity and reduce punch press setup times. New technologies, tooling products, tool steels and coatings are just a few of the topics that will be cov- ered in this session.
Punching in a Lean Environment
Discover profitable processes and procedures using today’s punching tech- nology. This presentation will address cost reduction through process inte- gration, automatic tool/turret changing, hybrid technology, and parts sorting.
Estimating—Made to Order Manufacturing
Topics for this presentation include; request for quote management, material needs, operation time and large assem- bly estimating.
Wednesday, November 3
8:00 – 10:00 a.m.
Press Brakes
Advances in Press BrakeTechnology
Learn about new green technology, new control innovations, and how to save set up with technical advances.
Applying Modern Bending Technology
to Maximize Productivity
Attendees will discover how to apply current bending technology, including adaptive bending and touch screen pro- gramming. Automated press brake fea- tures such automatic positioning and bed crowning to improve your bending productivity by reducing setup time, trial-and-error bending, and producing accurate parts from start to finish will be discussed.
Reducing Costs in Press Brake Processing
Learn how to reduce costs in press brake processing through many outlets including electrical consumption, ergonomics, reducing scrap, and offline programming. Using the right machine for the right job is also a very effective way to improve efficiency in both.
