Kreischer Optics has become a world leading expert in the field of precision optics over the last 60 years to the extent that many leading Technology organizations such as the US Military, Northrop Grumman and DNA facilities across the world turn too Kreischer Optics for their Precision Optic needs…
Dynamic distribution of machining operations for multi-channel lathes
Since some time now, it is becoming more and more common to see lathes where two turrets perform machining operations simultaneously.
This type of machines can double their productivity by cutting machining time in half. The big drawback is programming the part managing the job of the two turrets separately. The user must bear in mind the positions of both tools at all times in order to prevent a collision between both turrets. The collision is a risk for the integrity of the machine and avoiding it takes considerable programming time.
FVC, Fagor Volumetric Compensation
Machines for the aerospace sector demand automation systems with higher precision in their work pieces and machines. In this industry, complex 5-axis machines are used to machine large work pieces and their precision will depend on the tolerances used when manufacturing the machine and the effect of temperature while machining.
The HA angular encoder
Fagor Automation presents its new angular encoder at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES in Nuremberg (Germany) from the 23th to 25th of November.
The company is going to present their latest advances in measurement systems showing a qualitative leap in the technology used to provide automation solutions. VISIT US at booth number 4A-438 !
Stanford University turns to the precision of Fagor Automation encoders
The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is a multi-research center for astrophysics, photovoltaic science, molecule accelerator and research on physical particles. Center running under the Energy department of the US government and Headquarters of the current 3km-diameter accelerator ring, one of the largest in the world.
Variable profiling, a process under control
Two of the main factors when developing a new vehicle are higher efficiency and greater passenger safety. They both depend to a great extent on the body of the car or truck. Obtaining an efficient vehicle requires controlling its weight in order to reduce fuel consumption. And safety requires a very strong structure against collision, vibration or fatigue which could be achieved by increasing its weight.
