EMO 2013 and the Next-Generation Shop Floor


Check out the comprehensive, integrated, connected and mobile process that delivers unrivalled productivity and quality gains, Hall 25 - Booth G27

SPRING Technologies, vendor of solutions that enhance the productivity of NC machines, will be at EMO 2013, the world’s n°1 trade show dedicated to the machining of metals and machine-tools, in Hanover from September 16 – 21, 2013. SPRING Technologies will be demonstrating a complete,
real machining cycle
on a FANUC Robodrill 5-axis machine, connected to flagship solutions for tool management, technical documentation, NC and DNC simulation review, and machine status monitoring on Panasonic’s fully-rugged touch tablet.


Why has it become so hard to innovate in machining productivity?

Today, more than ever before, machined parts have to address multiple standards in an increasingly stringent regulatory framework, while manufacturers have to hit the efficiency sweet spot at the first time of asking. NC machines have had to adapt to this demand, becoming increasingly complex. To compound the difficulty, energy and raw materials costs have risen spectacularly in recent years.

This places a premium on minimizing scrap from machining operations, avoiding shocks, tool
breakage, collisions, machine downtime and ensuring operator safety… To get on top of so
much complexity and maintain Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) at the highest possible levels, programmers and machine operators need technological tools and a broad range of skills in areas like turning/milling, table rotation, and cutting conditions.

In most workshops there is a shortage of computers close to the machines, and in such cases, the hardware is often obsolete, missing out on state-of-the-art technologies that deliver
productivity gains. At their best, workshop operators get to share a computer, forcing them to make endless round trips to attend their machine and lose valuable seconds worth
thousands of dollars.


SPRING, Panasonic and FANUC: state-of-the-art technologies serving the workshop and delivering unrivalled productivity and quality gains

SPRING Technologies is driving forward its NCEXPERIENCE© vision with a live demonstration of its flagship solutions for machining simulation (NCSIMUL Machine 9 and NCSIMUL Player 9), tool management (NCSIMUL Tool), and DNC/machine status monitoring (NCSIMUL DNC), implemented on Panasonic’s fully-rugged professional tablet, connected to FANUC Robodrill machine-tools.

Here is a preview of the leading-edge technologies showcased on booth G27, Hall 25 at EMO:
