A Manufacturing Videocast Experience

Flex & Friends Kick OFF

We are excited to announce our much-anticipated manufacturing videocast series Flex & Friends. In this series, we will be picking the brains of the industry’s most passionate and profound thought leaders to talk shop and keep you up to date on all things manufacturing. The conversations will be honest and raw, and our goal is for viewers to connect with the people of manufacturing rather than connecting our audience to a product or service. 

“I want this to be a breath of fresh air to the manufacturing community,” said Eddie Saunders, host of Flex & Friends. “To know that there are not only incredible people involved in manufacturing but there are amazing things that are happening, and I want us to provide an audience-friendly and entertaining way to tell the story in ways they’ve never heard it before.”

We couldn’t be more excited to announce our first VIP Guest: Jason Pohl of JasonPohl.com. The series will kick off on August 4 at 2 pm EST on LinkedIn Live. Watch the first episode here.

Auto Stand-Off – This is currently defined to be surface stand-off and not to be confused with vector stand-off in 5-axis mode. The current auto stand-off is based on a changing surface and will adjust vertically based on the angle of the “A” Axis, so there is five (5) axis taken into account during the calculations, but this is not the same as the tool vector stand-off. There is the ability to do the vector stand-off change while the machine is running manually with buttons on the screen.

Z-Reader Probe – The Z-Reader is a device for mapping the location of the surface. It can be controlled manually & programmatically. The option is NOT active while cutting & is retracted out of harm’s way. It can be triggered to verify the surface at every pierce before the cutting process starts, or it could be used to drive surface mapping of the whole part before cutting starts. It begins with initialization or zeroing of the device to the surface at the beginning of a program and then accumulates or tracks the difference from that zeroing effort.

Automatic Edge Finder – The edge finder is or can be utilized manually (Jogging Method & Screen Buttons), programmatically (M & G codes), or fully automatic routine (dedicated program). This option sets offsets & program rotation to match the orientation & location on the cutting table.

AC Unit Installed on Electrical Cabinet – The unit is mounted on the cabinet’s High Power (480v) side. It is close to the location where the drives are mounted. This option keeps the cabinet temperature stable and allows heat dissipation faster. The servo drives for all axes are the most significant contributors to heat inside the electrical cabinet.

5-Axis Renishaw CalibrationThe calibration unit is a Renishaw model APCA45 with a modified spherical stylus. The device has a retractable cover and air purge to clear debris & dust during the activation process. It mounts to a swing arm controlled by a pneumatic rotary, so it is out of the way during regular operation and swings into the calibration position for calibration only.
