…the CAD/CAM provider for robotics, to create a complete programming solution for robot additive DED (direct energy deposition). To provide customers with an end-to-end solution for programming robot additive DED, ESPRIT has been working with Alma to bring together advanced toolpath planning in subtractive and additive areas, and technology in robotics trajectory computation and off-line programming of arc welding robots. This solution allows Alma to use the full ESPRIT additive DED cycles such as 3x, 4x and 5x, bringing the software to a new level of support for additive technology, the companies say. The solution also allows ESPRIT to support…

…machine to plan and optimize its numerical control (NC) programming, enable machinists to determine the location of the 5-axis singularity point and avoid it for the first time. When the toolpath generated by computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software passes through, or near to, the singularity point, the machine tool behaves erratically. The machine tool can vibrate, causing “chatter marks” on the component being machined, which affects the quality of the surface finish. The new release helps predict the singularity point. By predicting the lines of code where there may be problems with vibrations and surface quality, programs can be improved by…

…CAD formats, and provides direct import and customizable application programming interfaces to link to CAD and product lifecycle management (PLM) systems. Vertex is a cloud-based, zero-install solution for collaboration with external stakeholders, including customers. Image courtesy of Vertex. “Interactive 3D models give us and our customers a way to better communicate rather than needing to rely on a 2D drawing,” says Ryan Kloos, a sales application supervisor at Terex. “Seeing the location of different components in proximity is very hard for the untrained eye to do on a 2D PDF,” Wiesner adds. “The ease with which we can now share…

…those components, and they can be written in any programming language. You can imagine a number of components going into our databus, and our platform’s job is to figure out where that information should go.” In autonomous vehicles, the speed and accuracy of that information hand-off is critical. “Our partners are building systems where the right answer delivered too late becomes the wrong answer. Timing is critical,” Joshi says. The company’s solutions are utilized in other applications as well, such as hydroelectric power plants and robotics. In autonomous vehicles, as the level of autonomy and complexity increases, the Connext databus…
