Mecco Marking & Traceability Seminar nnrn

rn

rnnnrnnnMecco Marking and Traceability and Freedom Technologies are hosting a free seminar on product marking, identification and traceability.nnnnJoin us on May 23 for a hands-on training and informational session featuring guest speaker Kent Fahrion, a buyer in the auto industry who has worked with suppliers over the past thirteen years to improve their processes. Kent will be discussing his experience educating suppliers about the benefits of being able to track and identify parts, as well as how to update your processes in order to avoid the common problems resulting from having no traceability systems in place.nnrn

nnrn

You can expect to learn:nnrn

– How to use traceability data to help error-proof your processes & create comprehensive manufacturing records

nnnnrn

– Identifying challenges of marking your parts and how to choose the appropriate technology

nnnnrn

– How to integrate traceability solutions into your existing production line

nnnnrn

We will demonstrate laser and dot peen marking systems and code verification/reading systems, and you’re invited to bring some of your own parts for test marking at the event!nnrn

mk QuickDesignernnnnrn

The new “mk QuickDesigner” software reduces engineering and order processing times by up to 80%. The use of “mk QuickDesigner” conveniently does not require CAD design software or even an in-depth CAD knowledge. The program is a user-friendly way to start the design project, fitted to the unique needs of your application.nnrn

rn

nn“mk QuickDesigner” is a state-of-the-art and standalone pricing, planning and design tool for the easy and fast creation of perimeter guards made with mk Aluminum Framing Systems.nn

rn

An easy to use 3D interface allows the quick design of a custom guard either by creating a 2D outline which the “mk QuickDesigner” uses to automatically create a 3D perimeter guard or by allowing the user to build and configure one panel at a time directly in a 3D environment.

rn

“mk QuickDesigner” creates many advantages for the user, including:nnrnnnnn

– Drastic reduction of engineering and design timenn

nnnnrnnnnn

- Easier, faster and more accurate order processing

nnnnrnnnnn

- Automatic generation of cost estimates for parts, a detailed parts list, cut list, bill of - materials list and weight estimates

nnnnrn

- Reduced material costs by use of standardized componentsnn

nnnnrn

- Standard and economy framing optionsnn

nnnnrn

- Large variety of paneling, window and door options.nn

nnnnrn

- No CAD software requirednn

nnnnrn

- Easy-to-use interface with 3D graphicsnn

nnnnrn

- Automatic creation of 2D and 3D drawingsnn

nnnnrn

- mk parts application allows for IGES, STEP and JPEG export formatsnn

nnnnrn

- Import .dxf layouts nn

CT4 Cartesian Robot nnrnHigh-speed Cartesian Robot That Shortens Assembly/Inspection Cycle Times by Operating at High Speed, Ensuring High Rigidity and Demonstrating Excellent Straight Moving PerformancernnnrnHigh-speed operation with commanded acceleration of up to 3.2 Gnn(maximum instantaneous acceleration: 4.8 G)rn

Download the CT4 High-speed Cartesian Robot Catalog

rnnnnnnnrn

1. High Speed & High Acceleration/Deceleration

rnnnShorten the cycle time of your equipment by operating at the maximum speed ofnn2500 mm/s and maximum acceleration of 3.2 G. The standard cycle time is 32% less than a conventional Cartesian robot.nnrn

CT4-feat1 nnrnnn CT4-feat2 nn(Note) The standard cycle time represents the time required for going back and forth along the path shown to the right, consisting of a vertical movement of 25 mm and horizontal movement of 200 mm.nnrnnnnnnnnnnnrn

2. High Rigidity, Low Vibration

rnnnThe newly developed dedicated cast aluminum frame ensures high rigidity. Also, the improved shape and vibration damping performance of the fastening brackets for XY-axes reduced the vibration at the tip of the Z-axis, while the vibration control function of the XSEL controller achieved substantial reduction of vibration during high-speed operation.nnrnnn CT4-feat2a nnrnnnnnnnnnnnrn

3. Efficient Operation Range

rnnnA wide operation range of 400 mm (X-axis) x 300 mm (Y-axis) is ensured. Square operation ranges have no wasteful space and are more efficient compared to those of multi-jointed robots and parallel-link robots that can only operate in circles due to their structure.nn CT4-feat3 nnrnnnnnnnnnnnrn

4. Straight Moving Performance

rnnnThe high-speed Cartesian robot combines single-axis robots each performing linear motion, in order to demonstrate excellent straight moving performance.nnrnnnnnnnnnnnrn
