Webinar: Automate 4 and 5 Axis Milling or Mill-Turn Machines & Manufacture High Mix Efficiently

Compared to machine tending robots and pallet pools, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) offer lower unit cost, shorter lead times and more consistent quality in high mix production. However, FMS technology has been challenging to implement for certain milling machines without adding an automatic pallet changer or an intermediate table. In this webinar we present the latest FMS technology called Flexible Pallet System (FPS): modular CNC automation that integrates with any kind of milling or mill-turn machines (currently on pallet sizes 300 to 630 mm) and fits in any space, also the low-ceiling facilities and the most demanding floor layouts.

What will you learn?

• How flexible manufacturing system (FMS) enables producing high mix with: (1) short lead times, (2) low unit cost, and (3) consistent quality?
• What are the advantages of FMS over machine tending robots and pallet pools? Why to favor multi-machine automation & how achieve any part on any machine?
• Managing production resources with FMS (CNCs, pallets and fixtures, NC programs, tools, raw material)
• How FMS technology can be today utilized for any milling or mill-turn machine, including compact vertical mills and machines without automatic pallet changers or intermediate tables
• New modular Flexible Pallet System (FPS) for 500 or 1,000kg payloads – an extendable 360-degree CNC automation that fits also in short, narrow and low-ceiling facilities

Who is this webinar for?

• Metalworking manufacturers with horizontal or vertical milling or mill-turning machines with 300-630 mm pallets or zero-point plates
• High mix OEM manufacturers, subcontractors and job shops
• Machine tool builders and dealers that want to learn about the latest developments and opportunities of CNC automation for 4 and 5 axis milling and mill-turn machine tools
• Anyone who wants to learn how to automate milling machines for efficient & top quality high mix production

The live webinar consists of a presentation parts and an open Q&A section where all the participants will have an opportunity to ask more about the topic.
