Educational Conference
WhichPressBrakeToolingSystem Is Best forYou?
As press brakes become more ad- vanced, it is imperative for sheetmetal shop owners to equip them with tooling systems that take full advantage of the technology. This presentation will give end users insight on the pros and cons of each tooling style, the trends in tooling development, and provide a better under- standing of how to select a tooling system.
Getting Started with Robotics
Learn what systems will work best for your organization, the differences in robotic applications and the pros and cons of introducing robots to your operation. Attendees will walk away with an understanding of how to eval- uate robotic equipment and suppliers, effectively budget for robot applica- tions and avoid failure.
10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Rollforming Basics
Benefits of Rollforming
Today there are many value-added processes incorporated in the rollform line including: notching, punching, embossing, painting, welding and sweeping. Learn how rollforming can provide the same section at a lower cost to the customer without the added cost of secondary operations that other met- alforming processes require.
Benefits of Laser Measurement for Rollforming
The focus of this presentation is on potential benefits and savings of online profile inspection for rollformed appli- cation, such as gathering quality data faster and more accurately, creating quality reports, data archiving more efficiently, easily completing process capability studies, improving startup processes, and reducing scrap.
1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Rollforming Tooling/Advanced
Advanced RollformingTooling
Proper rollform calibration and the importance of rollform tooling design and build standards will be presented.
Adding Value to New or Existing Rollforming Lines with In-Line Punching and Cutoff Solutions
Attendees to this session will learn about in-line punching: pre and post, sta- tionary and flying (also rotary punch- ing), flying cutoff dies: slug, slugless and combination, and system integration.
Automated Joining for Fabricators
Intelligent Solutions for Welding
This session will provide an overview of the latest in vision error proofing, robot guidance and automatic workcell setup and maintenance through intel- ligent vision systems. It will describe the ease of use for the integrated vision as it applies to arc-welding robots.
connect everywhere
Network your factories and offices with SmartPAC 2 and LETS (Line Efficiency Tracking Software)
Take advantage of
SmartPAC 2’s built-in Ethernet connectivity to communicate over your network.
Send and receive text messages, display setup sheets stored on a central server, back up your tools to a remote location, and view pressroom status over the network and internet. When you connect your equipment to LETS, you can collect production data, feed critical parameters reports automatically, view machine status in real time, and schedule a prioritized job queue for each machine.
