Increase CNC machine tool productivity

CAD/CAM developer and metrology specialist are to hold two free seminars in the UK on increasing machine tool productivity

CAD/CAM developer Delcam and metrology specialist Renishaw are to hold two free seminars on increasing machine tool productivity in the UK during March. The first event will be at Renishaw's Wotton-under-Edge base on Tuesday March 4; the second will be at Delcam's Birmingham headquarters on Thursday March 6.

Both events will show delegates the many ways in which Renishaw's hardware and Delcam's software can help companies to increase the productivity of their machine tools.

The presentations will be divided into three sections.

1 - Ways to prepare for maximum machining efficiency - these will include the use of the latest calibration methods from Renishaw to check machine tool set-up and advanced programming strategies from Delcam to give more efficient machining.

2 - Faster and more accurate methods to set up jobs on the machine and to maintain efficient process control - these techniques ensure that the machine is not only manufacturing parts more quickly but also that the parts being made are of the required quality.

3 - Latest inspection techniques, especially on-machine verification - these techniques ensure that any problems can be identified as soon as possible, allowing them to be corrected more quickly and at lower cost.

'Many companies have invested heavily in very capable machine tools but find that they are not achieving the productivity gains that they expected,' said Renishaw's Marc Saunders.

'These seminars will show delegates practical measures to improve machine tool efficiency and so increase profitability.'
