Esab Cutting Systems Booth C2444, C2466
Esab Cutting Systems will introduce its SGX compact, automated cutting machine for plasma and oxyfuel cutting, which carries as many as three tool stations and can be equipped with the firm’s m3-IGC precision plasma system. Advanced features include the Vision T5 touchscreen CNC with built-in automatic nesting, as well as automatic gas
controls and plasma automation technology. Machine features include a heavy-steel beam, precision-machined mating surfaces, and linear rail, as well as dual-side, high-speed AC drives and a fast torch lifter. Also standard is an oxyfuel gas control that automatically switches between low-preheat and high-preheat pressure, as well as ease-on cutting oxy- gen for piercing thicker materials.
SGX machines can be configured with a range of plasma options, from simple air-plas- ma systems to fully automatic 360-A multigas systems. www.esab-cutting.com
Asset-Management/OEE Software Now Sends
Conditional Text Alerts

Wintriss Controls Group Booth B1003
Wintriss will highlight a new capa- bility of its ShopFloorConnect asset- management and OEE software: the ability to automatically generate con- ditional alerts from any machine. Each alert is a custom text or e-mail message sent to selected recipients whenever preset conditions are met at a machine.
The alerts can be used to notify
an operator when an unattended
machine has stopped running, to
alert management when a critical
customer job goes down or to summon resources when specific conditions exist at a machine, such as automatically notifying a forklift driver when a scrap bin needs to be replaced. ShopFloorConnect can generate multiple alerts for each machine, and select recipients according to their individual work or shift schedules.
