Educational Conference
Welding Automation for Production
The concept behind small batch fab- rication automation and successful imple- mentation of a small batch production automation project will be discussed.
Optimize your Welding Process by Implementing
Robotic Welding Systems
This presentation will look at reasons
for implementing robotics. Discover the variety of systems available in the welding field. Learn methods and con- siderations for implementing robots in simple welding applications.
Thursday, November 4
8:00 – 10:00 a.m.
Coil Processing
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Fabrication
This presentation will take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of starting with preblanked material as compared to coil. The pros and cons of a die in a press, turret press, laser and coil processor will be explored.
Advances in Blanking
Learn how the best tolerances can be produced, how to properly measure the results and the latest technology used to improve efficiency and quality.
2010 Coil SlittingTechnology & Practices
New technology and techniques will be discussed, as well as getting the most out of your existing equipment. Special focus will be on the high-strength mate- rials that are becoming more common in today’s market.
10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
New Environmentally Friendly Surface and Part Cleaning Options
Greening Up the Industrial Parts Cleaning Process
Hazardous air pollutants and volatile organic compounds are very concern- ing. As a result, formulators continue to seek alternative materials that optimize cleaning performance while having low or minimal negative impact on the environment. Learn how to green up your industrial parts cleaning process.
Cleaning Strategies
for a Lean Environment
Attendees will learn the basics of dry ice blast cleaning and how this tech- nology significantly reduces cleaning time and costs. Downtime caused by various factors is eliminated. This process is safer for workers than tradi- tional methods.
Surface Preparation
and Green Manufacturing
Blast cleaning, a mechanical surface preparation technique is not new to the manufacturing sector. This established
