  • Technology Demonstration on Machine Tool Probing for Industry 4.0

    Zoom

    This technology demonstration is part of the NERDIC Industry 4.0 Readiness Ecosystem program for the New England defense supply chain. For more information, please visit ccat.us/NERDIC.

    Join us for a virtual presentation on the use and results of automated probing for CNC machining of a demonstration part.

    Probing is an established best practice for maximizing the efficiency, quality, capability, and accuracy of machine tools. Standard routines built into modern CNC controls simplify the integration of probing cycles into machining operations and offline tools. These routines, combined with a CAD interface, make the simulation of measurement functions easy.

    On machine probe solutions can help reduce set_up times by up to 90% and improve your process control. This technology provides solutions for tool setting, broken tool detection, component set-up, in-cycle gauging and first-off component inspection, with automatic offset updates.

    On machine probing can deliver significant cost savings, and improvements in quality, for all applications using machine tools throughout many industries.

  • Are these buzz words or real problems, Supply Chain & Reshoring?

    Zoom

    In the wake of the pandemic, tariff changes, security issues, and ever-increasing customer demands, managing supply chains has become a more important topic to manufacturers. There is a new appreciation for integrating suppliers more closely with manufacturing operations and information systems.

    This webinar will cover three related topics:
    a. Taking risk out of supply chains
    b. Better managing demand in order to bring more predictability to supply chains
    c. Reshoring
    d. MassMEP programs and grant funding
