Giant Solar-Powered Butterfly Exposes Climate Change Solutions

08 Jan,2025

The SolarButterfly is focused on reaching millions of people, alerting them to the companies and individuals that are integral in transitioning societies away from fossil fuels toward clean energy technologies. Presently on a four-year journey around the world, the SolarButterfly plans to identify, record, and publicize at least a thousand climate protection pioneers and their solutions. The tour was initiated by Swiss environmental activist Louis Palmer who 15 years ago was the first person to circle the world in a solar-powered car. The symbol of a butterfly going through its transformation is a metaphor for his message: “While global warming is a big threat for the future of human beings, the solutions actually already exist. We want to show that lots of fantastic clean solutions are available which create jobs and save money! A transition of our society, like a butterfly, is very well possible!”

Since the start of the tour on May 23, 2022, in Geneva, the SolarButterfly has traveled more than 17,000 miles and visited 27 European countries. Nearly 140 projects have been reviewed so far, suggesting that global warming can be stopped. Some projects include a solar-powered vehicle that never needs to connect to the grid to charge its batteries; a fossil fuel-free steel plant; and a group that has produced a search engine, which already has millions of visitors, which provides information on how to reforest our planet.

After a winter break, the SolarButterfly plans to begin again from its hometown of Lucerne, Switzerland on April 3, 2023, visiting known pioneers in the UK. After that trip, the SolarButterfly will be shipped to Halifax, Canada and continue its travels from there, across the United States and Central America to Panama by the end of the 2023.

maxon USA, a corporate sponsor of the project will be hosting the SolarButterfly and crew on July 28th at their Taunton, Massachusetts facility. Local political leaders, schools and the public are invited to attend between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. During that time, guests will be able to tour the SolarButterfly which is equipped with a uniquely designed large solar panel array that unfolds into giant butterfly wings. It incorporates a kitchen, bathroom, and living room and accommodates a crew of up to five people. The vehicle is the first to be built largely out of Ocean PET—plastic bottles gathered at sea and then processed for reuse. With over 900 square feet of solar panels, the vehicle produces enough energy to travel up to 150 miles per day.

If you are interested in hosting the SolarButterfly, visit (https://solarbutterfly.org) to learn more. The crew is presently searching for hosts, such as companies and universities, in 100 cities between Halifax and Panama where it can charge its batteries during the day, meet climate pioneers, and be open to the public.

According to the planned route, the next phase of visits the SolarButterfly will make include five continents finishing in Paris on December 12, 2025, just in time for the tenth anniversary of the United Nations Paris climate agreement. The itinerary and time frame will be:

1. Switzerland – Germany – UK, April – June 2023

2. North and Central America, July– December 2023

3. South America - Europe - Asia – March - October 2024

4. Australia – Africa – Paris, January – December 2025

Renewable Lubricants Offers Bio-Based Hydraulic Fluids

03 Jan,2025

<img src=1735879563101937.html title="1735879563101937.png" alt="3.png"/>Equipment fires can happen in any industry. Hot running equipment, and a leaking hydraulic seal or blown hose can be a disastrous combination because traditional hydraulic fluid has a flash point around 240°F, so if equipment has a problem due to overheating of the operating temperature of the liquid, traditional hydraulic fluid is already close to its flash point. Bio-Ultimax1000, a biosynthetic formula that directly replaces mineral oil based hydraulic fluids, has a flash point of 450°F. This 200-degree cushion can mean the difference between safety and catastrophe when a hydraulic hose breaks and sprays a hot running engine.Bio-Ultimax 1000 is available in various weights including ISO 32, 46, 68 and 100. In addition to significantly higher flash points across the entire range, these bio-based products are safer for employees to handle. Should a hose break or a seal fail on a jobsite, the cleanup can be a nightmare for equipment with traditional hydraulic fluids. And an expensive one, especially if the problem occurs near a wetland, a watershed, near a storm sewer, or other sensitive areas. EPA mandated cleanup costs are pricey, with plenty of paperwork involved. Using bio-based, environmentally friendly hydraulic fluids can eliminate the fines and speed the cleanup. With oxidation performance comparable to full synthetics, this is one of the safest hydraulic fluids for the environment.  These advances in safety are accompanied by performance that meets or exceeds that of traditional hydraulic fluids. Ideal for stationary or mobile environments these super high Viscosity Index (VI) fluids are proven in systems up to 10,000 psi and in systems with ultra-fine filtration. To ensure performance and long life, Renewable Lubricants developed the stringent IsoGreen filtration standard which meets or exceeds the Rexroth pump guidelines for hydraulic fluids.  Non-toxic, zinc-free formulations contain no heavy metals. In addition to enhancing performance, Renewable Lubricants (RL) helps companies achieve their sustainability goals. They are ideal for use in all types of hydraulic systems where low toxicity, biodegradability, and non-bioaccumulation properties are required.These patented biobased hydraulic fluids are formulated to perform in high- and low-pressure hydraulic systems that require Anti-Wear (AW), anti-rust, anti-oxidation, anti-foam, and demulisibility properties. With patented antioxidants (Stabilized), these biosynthetics provide improved performance in oxidation stability over standard plant/vegetable/HETG and unsaturated HEES type fluids.  They are highly inhibited against moisture and rusting in both fresh and sea water, and pass A and B sequences of the ASTM D-665 Turbine Oil Rust Test.  Formulated to provide a longer seal life with reduced oil leakage, this environmentally friendly, zinc-free product meets or exceeds high-pressure pump requirements.  Very little wear was encountered in field studies and in accelerated pump tests using biobased formulations in Denison T-5D, Vickers 20VQ, 35VQ-25 (M-2950-S), and V-104C (ASTM D-2882), Vickers I-286-S pump stand tests and pressures and temperatures ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 psi and from 150°to 210°F.  Anti-wear performance exceeds requirements for US Steel 126, 136, and 127, load stage 10 in the FZG (DIN 51354) and GM (LS-2).

How to navigate Trump’s promised tariffs: Focus on what you can control

23 Dec,2024

<img src=1734941224797206.html title="1734941224797206.png" alt="4.png"/>The recent buzz around Trump’s proposed tariffs has many Canadian businesses—and their American counterparts—feeling uneasy. For exporters and domestic manufacturers alike, the concerns are real:Higher costsTighter marginsShifting trade dynamicsBut while these challenges are significant, they are far from insurmountable. In fact, businesses that take a proactive approach have an opportunity to emerge leaner, stronger and more competitive—regardless of the tariff environment.So, how do you prepare for this potential shake-up? The answer lies not in panic but in process. By optimizing efficiency, businesses can offset rising costs and navigate an uncertain trade landscape with confidence.Find and fix hidden inefficienciesMany businesses don’t realize how much money they lose due to inefficiencies lurking within their operations. From redundant workflows to production bottlenecks, wasted time and resources quietly erode profitability.Now is the time to take a close look at your processes. Conduct a deep dive to identify where things slow down or break down:Are there delays in production?Is there unnecessary waste in materials or time?Where are the most significant cost sinks in your operation?For many businesses, these inefficiencies can be corrected without major capital investments. Simple adjustments often deliver significant savings that make all the difference when costs rise.Shorten lead times to stay competitiveLead time reduction is one of the most effective ways to improve margins and gain an edge. Why? Faster production and delivery mean less inventory, fewer delays, reduced waste, and quicker cash flow.Optimizing workflows—whether through better resource allocation, automation, or streamlined processes—can help you turn orders around more efficiently. In a tariff-driven environment where costs are climbing, speed and agility become critical competitive advantages.For example, one of our client’s productions was bogged down by inefficiencies that seemed minor at first glance. However, by implementing Lean methodologies, we cut their lead times by 80% and significantly reduced costs. Not only did they regain their competitive position, but they also strengthened their ability to weather tariff-related pressures.Engage your team in the processYour employees are your front-line problem solvers. They see the daily struggles in your operations and often have keen insights into where resources are wasted or workflows could be improved.Empowering your team to contribute to the process improvement journey can drive significant, sustainable change. It also boosts morale—showing employees that their input matters and that they play a critical role in navigating these challenges.The key here is collaboration. Engage your teams in identifying issues, brainstorming solutions and implementing changes. This not only optimizes processes but builds a culture of continuous improvement.Demonstrated vs. Theoretical Output: Where’s your opportunity?When we begin working with a client, we often measure what we call Demonstrated Output—the actual performance of their processes, including all the inefficiencies and “noise” that have crept in over time.Then, we compare that figure to the Theoretical Output—what the operation could achieve under ideal conditions.The result? Demonstrated Output is typically only 50 per cent of Theoretical Output. This means there’s often massive untapped potential, and much of it can be unlocked with simple process improvements—not expensive overhauls or new equipment.This is an important reminder for businesses facing tariffs or rising costs: You may already have the resources you need to stay competitive. The real challenge is ensuring they’re optimized.Control what you can: Efficiency wins the dayTariffs and shifting trade policies are largely out of your control. But your internal operations? That’s where you hold the power. Businesses that thrive in a high-tariff environment are the ones that focus on what they can influence: efficiency, agility, and smarter processes.Instead of reacting to higher costs with panic, use this as an opportunity to reassess and improve. The path forward isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about maximizing what you already have.If you’re ready to uncover opportunities within your operations, start by asking: Where is our potential going unrealized? Whether it’s lead times, inefficiencies, or team engagement, the room for improvement is often much greater than expected.By taking control of your processes, you can transform challenges into competitive advantages—no matter what trade policies come your way.

In space exploration, infrared optics facilitate the observation of celestial objects obscured by cosmic dust or faint in visible light. In earth observation satellites, they are used to monitor climate change, natural disasters, and environmental conditions by capturing thermal signatures and variations. In defense, infrared optics are used in surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting. They are also crucial in free space laser communications, helping to provide secure, reliable and fast transmission over long distances. In all these applications, it is essential to test the optical components and systems at the infrared operating wavelength to understand the final optical performance, whether it be fiber coupling efficiency, system level wavefront error, or other performance metrics. Additionally, individual component metrology can provide quick feedback to correct the as-built optical design for optimum system level performance.“U.S. defense and space-based SWIR applications require optical systems that push the capabilities of today’s manufacturing and measurement techniques,” says Erik Novak, General Manager and Vice President of 4D Technology. “In response to this, we have strengthened our commitment to these application segments by providing a higher-resolution SWIR metrology system to provide precise measurements of wavefront error and surface figure at the critical SWIR wavelengths. Receiving these orders from industry leaders underscores the importance of investing in the development of our systems to meet the changing demands of our customers.”4D Technology has been leading the development of metrology for space-based optics since its inception over 20 years ago. The company is uniquely positioned to support the development of U.S. defense and space-based IR applications, with capable metrology systems not only operating at SWIR wavelengths, but also from the NIR wavelength bands all the way to the LWIR wavelengths around 10.6μm.The new 1 MP AccuFiz SWIR laser interferometer continues 4D Technology’s tradition of offering some of the world’s highest-performing interferometers, backed by industry-leading service and applications support.

Preventing occupational hearing loss: Essential tips for maintenance professionals

16 Dec,2024

<img src=1734351265925785.html title="1734351265925785.png" alt="4.png"/>As a maintenance professional, you likely already have extensive health and safety training that outlines best practices for the chemicals and equipment used in daily tasks. However, the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), commonly referred to as occupational hearing loss, is often overlooked in these training sessions and materials.This oversight can lead to long-term issues in the profession on the individual and collective levels. The severity of hearing loss can increase over time if not addressed, and without proper training and awareness, NIHL is bound to affect more maintenance professionals over time.Whether working inside or outside, there are both proactive protective measures you should take to protect your ears, as well as reactive steps you can take should you suspect NIHL.The first major cause of sound pollution is power tools, including compressors, jackhammers, drills, and other loud machinery. The noise from these tools can often exceed 85 decibels (dB), which is the threshold for potential hearing damage when exposed over extended periods. Some heavy equipment can even reach noise levels of 100 dB or more, which can cause hearing damage in a matter of minutes. When used for extended periods of time, the level of risk increases drastically.Risk 2: Indoor noise amplificationIndoor maintenance environments, such as large facilities, factories, or warehouses, can exacerbate noise exposure. Hard surfaces like concrete floors and metal walls reflect sound waves, amplifying noise levels due to reverberation and increasing the risk of NIHL. Even equipment that seemingly poses low risk can become of concern in enclosed spaces. For example, a vacuum cleaner has noise levels that range from 60-70dB, which is thought to be in the safe zone yet may be amplified in small spaces. Further, the risk is increased when the vacuum is used for long periods of time, which we will discuss more below.Risk 3: Sustained low-level noise exposureWhile loud noises are easily recognized as a risk factor for hearing loss, sustained exposure to lower levels of noise—between 70 to 85 dB—can also cause cumulative hearing damage. Air compressors, fans, and HVAC systems, for example, may seem benign but can contribute to long-term NIHL if exposure occurs over a prolonged period without protection. Or, if you use any type of music or headphones to listen to audio that drowns out this noise, ensure it remains at 70 dB or lower. If listening to music above 85dB and in conjunction with sustained low-level noise, you are at increased risk of hearing damage.Risk 4: Outdoor environments and environmental noiseOutdoor maintenance workers also face unique challenges when it comes to noise pollution because they are often exposed to a combination of occupational and environmental noises. Environmental noise, which includes sources like heavy traffic, nearby construction, wind, and even aircraft, can compound the risks posed by the machinery and tools maintenance professionals use.For example, while a single piece of equipment like a leaf blower or power saw might generate noise within the range of 85 to 90 dB, the added presence of loud traffic or construction noises can push overall exposure beyond 100 dB.Steps to reduce risksWear suitable hearing protection: Consistent use of hearing protection is crucial to protecting yourself from noise-induced hearing loss. Earplugs or earmuffs with a high Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) should be worn whenever you’re operating or working near loud machinery. When used properly, earplugs and earmuffs can lower noises by between 20 and 35 dB.Take noise breaks: It’s equally important to take regular breaks from high-noise environments, allowing your ears time to recover. Whenever possible, aim to use low-noise equipment that operates within safer decibel ranges so that fewer breaks are necessary.Use noise risk assessments to plan properly: For outdoor work, where environmental noise from traffic or construction may exacerbate noise exposure, it’s essential to assess and plan ahead. A thorough noise risk assessment can identify specific sources of environmental noise that contribute to hearing loss. In these settings, proper use of HPDs is vital, and you may want to use dual protection, such as earplugs and earmuffs, for particularly loud tasks. Another helpful strategy is rotating workers between high-noise and low-noise tasks to reduce individual exposure times and give your ears a break from continuous noise.Education and training: Employers should provide comprehensive hearing protection training as part of regular health and safety programs, teaching workers to identify high-risk noise environments, use hearing protection correctly, and understand the long-term effects of noise-induced hearing loss. This program should involve educating and training workers on job site noise hazards, introducing noise control strategies such as rotating tasks to lower the average noise exposure over an 8-hour shift, and mandating regular audiometric testing and consultations to detect early signs of hearing loss.Hazards of power tools, indoor noise amplification, outdoor environmental factors, and prolonged exposure to moderate noise all contribute to the risk of noise-induced hearing loss for maintenance professionals. However, by adopting proactive strategies such as using proper hearing protection, implementing sound-dampening solutions and ensuring regular training and testing, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of permanent hearing damage.

Integrating maintenance and production for World Class Maintenance: Q&A

12 Dec,2024

<img src=1734000796839980.html title="1734000796839980.png" alt="4.png"/>In manufacturing, effective collaboration between production and maintenance is an enormous challenge, but achieving it can significantly impact overall performance and quality. Recently, MRO spoke with Kim Wolf of Kim Wolf Leadership Coaching and Manufacturing Consulting, who brings a wealth of experience to this challenge, emphasizing the importance of data-driven decision-making and cross-functional collaboration.In this conversation, Wolf addresses the common obstacles manufacturers face when integrating these two vital areas and offers actionable strategies for fostering a culture of teamwork.With insights drawn from her unique background in both maintenance and operations, Wolf emphasizes how leaders can facilitate a unified approach that not only enhances efficiency but also supports quality control and a collaborative work environment. Read on for her expert advice on creating common goals, utilizing key performance indicators and developing a unified workforce to achieve World Class Maintenance.  Q: Why is integrating production and maintenance a challenge for manufacturers?  A: One thing that really hinders is if there’s no data available. Once you get data of some kind—that could be everything from an Excel spreadsheet that you’re keeping track of efficiency, all the way through to fully integrated and automated downtime tracking systems, and everything in between—you can use that to make cross-functional decisions that make more sense. If you start getting into people’s opinions, that’s when you can start the finger-pointing. So, one person may say, ‘This is an operator training issue,’ and production looks at it and says, ‘No that’s an equipment issue or that’s a mechanic training issue’. If you’re not using data to really drive those discussions, it’s very difficult to try to reach some kind of objective strategy that you can use to drive that World Class Maintenance.The other challenge is not having processes in place. I’m a big believer in processes. If you have downtime and you say, ‘What process is missing that potentially caused that downtime?’ If you don’t have a standard operating procedure, an SOP, written on a changeover from one product to another, then you get into the finger-pointing.I also think organizations that are focused so much on firefighting can really struggle with that maintenance-versus-operations mentality. Because when you’re firefighting so much, everything is chaotic and so the first thing you do is just start to blame. And it’s easier to blame somebody in another function than it is to blame internally. So, when you start implementing World Class Maintenance programs, it ultimately will help drive that relationship between maintenance and production because you’re reducing the chaos in your organization.  Q: What does it look like when production and maintenance are integrated? A: Having common goals between the two. I’m a huge believer in having company goals, plant goals that then roll up into the company, and then cross-functional goals. I think if a company’s goals (below the plant goals), if siloed, then typically you will also get that finger-pointing. Where, if you’ve got those common KPIs, then you’re all working toward the same goal. So, I think that’s one thing.And again, the objective data. So, for example, OEE. Using objective data to develop those goals, develop those KPIs, not using somebody’s opinion of where the issues are.And I’d say the last thing is to change the lingo. You need to create a culture where it’s acceptable to call somebody out, saying, ‘That sounds like that might be blaming as opposed to working together toward a common solution’. Creating that type of a culture where you’re able to respectfully call one another out when you start having conversations like that. It’s just saying, ‘Nope, that’s not helpful for us to be blaming another department, another function. Remember, we’re all in this together.” When you’re using the data and making that conversation more objective, then people really start to get it.  Q: What are the first steps towards achieving this?  A: I would say having the data in one place. And, there are lots of companies out there that have really good, simple, and easily integrated downtime collection systems. But if you don’t have that, or you’re a smaller company that may not have those types of resources, doing a simple Excel spreadsheet, where you’re just keeping track of anything that’s over 15 minutes or half an hour, wherever you need to start and then just try and keep track of that. How many cases should we have gotten? How many did we actually get? And then, what were the causes of that?The second step is having a solid CMMS system, where you’re keeping track of not just maintenance activities, but I like to use the CMMS system also for sanitation activities as well as production. So, if production is doing CILs (cleaning, inspection, lubrication procedures), put all of that into one CMMS system. It’s easier to make sure that those activities are coordinated, especially if you’ve got a maintenance planner. Again, if you’ve got them all collected in one place, it’s much easier to say, ‘This is our cleaning plan’, or ‘This is our equipment maintenance plan,’ or whatever it might be, because it’s all part of one system.

ZF Receives CLEPA Innovation Award for Electric Motor Without Rare Earths

06 Dec,2024

<img src=1733473349472661.html title="1733473349472661.png" alt="4.png"/>The automotive supplier association CLEPA honors ZF as a top innovator in the “Green” category. The award-winning technology, an electric motor without rare earths, sets new standards in electromobility by dispensing with magnets and improving sustainability with the same performance.“This award is a recognition of our continuous efforts to develop innovative and environmentally friendly solutions for electromobility,” says Dr. Otmar Scharrer, head of engineering electrified powertrain technology at ZF. “With our electric motor, we are demonstrating a more sustainable alternative to conventional solutions that does not require the use of rare earths and at the same time offers maximum performance.”Rare earth metals are often difficult to extract, and their mining has a significant environmental impact. Nevertheless, they are still a necessary component of electromobility, as they are used in batteries and magnets. The I²SM (In-Rotor Inductive-Excited Synchronous Machine) from ZF completely dispenses with these metals by using an inductively excited, magnet-free system in the rotor. This reduces dependence on critical raw materials and significantly improves sustainability and efficiency. Dispensing with rare earths saves valuable resources in production and reduces dependencies in the supply chains. In addition, compared to the permanent magnet synchronous machines (PSM) currently used, there are no drag losses due to permanent magnets, which leads to better efficiency during long highway journeys at high speeds.ZF previously received the CLEPA Innovation Award in 2022 for its autonomous shuttle and in 2020 for an environmentally friendly eTrailer, a prototype truck trailer with an integrated electric drive. In 2017, WABCO and ZF won the innovation award for their jointly developed Evasive Maneuver Assist system for commercial vehicles.Every year, the European association CLEPA recognizes outstanding innovative achievements in the supplier industry. In the Digital and Green categories, an international jury of experts' awards prizes to particularly progressive, sustainable and digital projects.The “Top Innovator” title is selected by a jury of experts from around 80 applications and recognizes ground-breaking innovations in the industry. The award was presented Dec. 4 on CLEPA's 65th anniversary during a festive ceremony at Autoworld in Brussels. The “Green” category recognizes innovations for more sustainable and climate-neutral mobility.

MAPAL'S BFS CONNECTION FOR REPLACEABLE HEAD MILLING SYSTEMS

29 Nov,2024

MAPAL has introduced a new, patent-pending bayonet-type connection for milling cutter systems with a replaceable head at the AMB 2024. Users benefit from very easy handling with rigid connection and optimal cooling. The tool manufacturer also saves carbide with the connection, conserving resources.The functional principle of the new connection couldn’t be easier: the replaceable head only must be inserted and turned 90 degrees to be locked. That’s a lot easier than the previous system for replaceable head milling cutters from MAPAL or comparable systems where the replaceable head is threaded and must be screwed in several turns.The bayonet system achieves very high rigidity thanks to the large cylindrical face connection. While the force only acts on one side while tightening a thread due to the thread’s pitch, the new MAPAL system ensures symmetrical insertion and good distribution of force.Increased tool life and better machining qualityTogether with the connection, MAPAL is also presenting a new tool holder design. The tool holder has a ring of cooling channel bores, which enables a much higher volume of cooling than conventional internal cooling can provide. By channeling the coolant directly to the area of the cutting edges, the tool life is extended and machining quality improved.In addition, by doing away with a central cooling channel bore, the milling head becomes much more stable. The tool holder is 10 to 15% more rigid than comparable systems, resulting in higher achievable form and position tolerances, smoother processes and longer tool life.The solid carbide replaceable heads from MAPAL also impress thanks to their high process reliability as inserts cannot become loose at high temperatures. If tool breakage does occur, the connection’s simple assembly ensures that the machining process can be resumed quickly.Modular tool systems with a steel-shank tool holder have also been marketed to conserve carbide. With the bayonet connection, MAPAL is going one step further. Compared to the previous connection, 70% less material is used, in keeping with the trend towards more sustainability.Diverse range of applicationsThe connection is offered in 7 different sizes with head diameters from 11.8mm to 22.5mm and head lengths up to 1xD, which enables a variety of applications. In addition to the replaceable heads, the tool manufacturer can also custom design the tool holder to optimize the coolant supply for requirements, for example.MAPAL is also exhibiting two initial applications together with the bayonet connection at the AMB. A solid carbide head with five cutting edges is being used by customers from the automotive industry as a ball nose milling cutter to manufacture homokinetic joints. The soft machining of this component, which is integrated in the power train, requires a high degree of precision. Another tool is a form cutter for machining ball joints on drive shafts.

LANTEK'S MODIFY MACHINE

28 Nov,2024

Lantek, developer of industry-leading sheet metal manufacturing software, is releasing a new function within its Lantek Expert nesting software, Modify Machine.The Modify Machine feature is designed to keep production running smoothly even when machines go down or become unavailable. Modify Machine reads existing nesting and cutting plans, adjusts them automatically to work with a chosen machine, and applies them to that unit. It eliminates downtime due to manual reprogramming and maximizes machine utilization.When machines inevitably need maintenance – or worse, crash – Modify Machine is there to do the heavy lifting in porting over CNCs to other machines, so that the show goes on. It excels during situations in which a specific machine has been taken out of commission for whatever reason, although that machine is the default unit for manufacturing a specific project. Manually adjusting each parameter of the program to fit the new machine means pointless time spent programming on top of wasted machine utilization. Instead, users can simply choose a new machine from a drop-down menu and approve Modify Machine’s new program. What could take hours is reduced to mere minutes.Although invaluable in emergency situations like the one described, Modify Machine also bolsters a shop’s overall resiliency. A program can be written once, with one machine in mind, but can then be applied to any machine uploaded in the Expert system. In a traditionally organized shop, jobs wait in a line in a predetermined order at a specific machine. There are usually several of these lines, each at one machine. If one job fails to progress, it holds up the whole line. Modify Machine introduces flexibility into this environment. When almost any project can be run on almost any job, machines rarely sit unused.When users interact with Modify Machine in Lantek Expert’s 2D and 3D nesting, they will find pivoting to a new machine as easy as selecting a new one from the drop-down list. Modify does the rest: adding new lead-ins, placing micro-joints, adjusting parameters and more. It takes these calculations and applies them to all selected nests. If desired, operators can drag and drop nests as needed for added customizability.Lantek Expert continues to be a trusted solution for nesting operations in sheet metal machining. It takes users from start to finish in creating production plans. Expert’s automated algorithms optimize nesting layouts and apply advanced cutting approaches. Programming time, machining time, and material waste are all slashed.With the combined technology of the larger Lantek Expert platform the Modify machine feature, users are primed to accelerate their day-to-day manufacturing as well as smoothly side-step some of the most frustrating hurdles in production.

It features a BMT55 turret, which is more robust than the more commonly used BMT45, ensuring maximum rigidity. The TM8MYi also has a bi-directional, servo-driven live tool that delivers speeds up to 5,000rpm for dynamic milling, drilling, and tapping. Engineered for durability and performance, the TM8MYi features a Renishaw swing-down tool setter for quick setups, linear roller ways to reduce vibration and increase rigidity, and direct-drive linear axes for faster axis response and improved accuracy.With an 8" chuck, maximum turning diameter of 12.60", drag-and-drop tailstock, A2-6 spindle nose, and spindle bore diameter of 3.07", this lathe handles a wide range of turning operations. The powerful main spindle, delivering 15.5hp and 72.4 ft-lbs of continuous torque, provides reliable performance for heavy-duty applications.Of course, the TM8MYi comes equipped with the powerful yet intuitive Hurco control that includes both conversational programming and NC in addition to NC/Conversational Merge, a feature unique to the Hurco control that combines the best of both programming methods.A few of the other Hurco control features deemed customer favorites include UltiPocket, Advanced Verification Graphics with 3D Solid Rendering, 3D Import, and Data Block Search.UltiPocket adds special cutting routines for machining pocket boundaries with islands. This option provides complete clean out of odd-shaped pockets without cutting the islands programmed inside the boundary. The software automatically calculates the tool path around islands eliminating the long task of plotting these shapes.The Advanced Verification Graphics feature lets the user view a solid rendering of the tool path that displays dynamic rotation, tool cut simulation, and dynamic view manipulation. This feature reduces scrap, programming time, and proves out the part program.3D Import includes Solid Model Import and 3D DXF. Solid Model Import allows the user to program at the CNC control directly from a STP file. 3D DXF provides the ability to gather dimensional information from the DXF file and program from splines.The Hurco control also simplifies the tedious task of searching for a data block or line of code during the editing process with its Data Block Search feature. Users can easily touch the selection they need to edit on the graphics screen, and the cursor will jump to the corresponding program selection.Hurco is dedicated to continuous innovation to add functionality that helps customers increase productivity and profitability, and to maintain Hurco’s status as the easiest control to program, which helps customers navigate labor shortages and the skills gap.
