WESTEC PRODUC TS 44 PRODUCTION MACHINING :: SEPTEMBER 2017 Software Version Offers Simple, Smart and Fast Technology Programming Booth 1207 DP Technology Corp. will showcase its Esprit 2017 software release featuring simplified user interaction, smarter toolpath technology and faster programmability. These upgrades are done to the machine and the toolpath performance of Esprit ProfitMilling inside closed cavities. ProfitMilling in Esprit 2017 optimizes the initial channel width for faster attainment of programmed feed rates and fewer ma- chine decelerations, the company says. The release also features increased simulation speed, enhanced CAD file support, advanced toolsettings and five-axis programming features. According to the company, Esprit delivers full-spectrum program- ming for two- to five-axis milling, turning, wire EDM, multitasking, Swiss-turn and high-speed three- and five-axis machining and is compatible with a range of machine tools. This includes accurate G- code, exacting simulations and factory-certified postprocessors. :: DP Technology Corp. - Esprit 800-627-8479, dptechnology.com Carbide Workholding Grippers Designed for Ultra Low-Profile Clamping Booth 809 Fixtureworks will exhibit its lineup of ultra low-profile TG GripSerts carbide workholding grippers. The gripper inserts are designed for ultra low-profile clamp- ing with no dovetail workpiece preparation. With serrations designed for steel, hardened steel, titanium and aluminum, these triangular grippers feature two rows of teeth at different angles to maximize the pull-down effect, the company says. The grip- pers are also already integrated with the TriMax line of vises. :: Fixtureworks 586-294-1188, fixtureworks.net Company Features High Precision Probing Line Booth 1126 Marposs Corp. will feature its Mida Diamond touch probes with piezo-electric technology, designed for five-axis machining centers and milling machines. These probes, available in optical or radio transmission styles, provide measurement performance on 3D surfaces with repeatability within 0.25 micron and are well-suited to industries where precision requirements are pushed to the limits daily, such as die and mold, aerospace, aeronautics and biomedical, the company says. According to the company, through automatic detection of machine axis position, these probes achieve part positioning, workpiece orientation and origin identification as well as accurate part measurement. Relying upon a special filter, these probes can distinguish false-triggering events from actual touch events. There are several types of applications available. Operating with either a radio or optical receiver, the probes offer a wide operating field useful for large machines where line-of-sight between probe and receiver is not ensured. And, since the line of sight between the touch probe transmitter and receiver is not required, complex surfaces and deep cavity parts can be inspected. Measurements may be performed at depths as large as 1 m due to the modular structure and extensions of the probe, the company says. :: Marposs Corp. 248-370-0404, marposs.com
