Fully Integrated Automated System Of Robot, Multi-Station Workholding, Indexer, And Gage With Process Control - See At McCormick Place - Lakeside Center East - Hall C - Booth #D-4738
Minneapolis, MN: Kurt Manufacturing will introduce and demonstrate the capabilities of the new Engineered Systems Division at IMTS '08. Operating continuously during the show, Kurt will show a fully integrated automated indexing system of a robot, multi-station workholding, indexer and gage with process control.
The Kurt Engineered Systems offering is the result of the formation of a new Kurt Division combining its Custom Engineered Workholding group, its Electronics Division and partnerships with robotic integrators. The new Kurt Engineered Systems Division will provide a one-stop source for fully automated systems with comprehensive solutions for automating machine tool manufacturing and gaging operations.
The system demonstrated at IMTS '08 includes a Fanuc LR Mate 200iC six axis robot interacting with a Kurt CTHDM6 hydraulic tower mounted to a Haas HRT310 4th axis indexer and a Kurt gage. The CTHDM6 tower will be modified and plumbed for double acting hydraulics that will allow sensing positive movement when the workholding closes and opens on a part to be machined. The fully automated gage will measure and record features on the machined part. Recorded data for process control, product traceability and process capability studies will be captured and displayed in real time.
"Members of Kurt's new Engineered Systems Division make a formidable team," reports Jeff Lenz, general manager. "The team brings many years of expertise in machine tool fixtures, electronics gaging and software development to take on successfully the most challenging projects. From fully automated systems interfaced with multiple pallet machining centers to simple modifications of standard Kurt products, our team mission is to provide quality custom built systems in keeping with legendary Kurt high productivity and quality standards."
Kurt Engineered Systems is a "must-stop-and-see" location at IMTS '08, September 8-13, McCormick Place, Lakeside Center East, Hall C, Booth #D-4738.
