Why CNC Automatic Fire Systems are Essential to Your Shop

Ed Chivers and Scott Starr of Reacton Fire Suppression Systems will show the need for automatic fire suppression systems with an in-depth overview for CNC machines. Reacton Fire Suppression systems use the proven fire detection tube technology while coupling it with a larger range of high-performance systems optimized for clean agent gaseous fire suppressants from 3M and Chemours.

The 5 KPI’s Manufacturers Should Be Tracking

Akshat Thirani, CEO & Co-founder of Amper, an OEE and machine monitoring system designed specifically for precision manufacturers, will cover a variety of key performance indicators that every manufacturer should be measuring. He will also discuss simple solutions to help turn raw data into action, the key difference between leading indicators vs. lagging indicators, as well as how Amper can digitize your factory and replace paper production reports.

Combining In-Machine Part and Tool Sensors to Improve Quality and Uptime

Joel Rutzen of SPC Innovations Inc. will introduce their new Detector ETC modular system for real-time part inspection and broken tool detection.  Detector is the industry standard for in-machine inspection and broken tool detection, but each system previously had separate controls and interfaces.  With a leaner workforce and shorter runs, the need has grown for interface standardization and changeover flexibility. The ETC system builds on the proven effectiveness of the existing Detector line of gauges while adding electronic broken tool monitoring capability in one simple display.  The new modular design, allows gauges and probes to be added or moved from machine to machine with minimal additional setup costs.  Joel will give a demonstration of the ETC system and system integration.  He will also explain what is required to upgrade a machine that is currently using Detector gauging products..
