Schunk to show capabilities at SolidCAM workshop

1 min read

SolidCAM UK will be hosting a ‘learn and lunch’ event at its Technology Centre in Barnsley on 11 September. The event will give visitors the opportunity to see the company’s CAM developments working in conjunction with products from work-holding and gripping expert Schunk.

Running from 10:00 until 13:00, the workshop will demonstrate how liaising with technology partners like Schunk can improve machine-shop efficiency. With SolidCAM presentations throughout, the event will provide live cutting demonstrations on a Romi D-800 vertical machining centre.

Visitors will have an opportunity to discuss work-holding with Schunk engineers, talk to Quickgrind about cutting tools, Romi UK about machine-tool requirements, CGTech about CNC simulation, Blum Novotest about In-process Inspection, and Parmley Graham about collaborative robots.

On the Romi machine, Schunk will be demonstrating the versatility and flexibility of its Vero-S NSE Plus modules, as these clamping stations for general milling applications will be used as the basis for fast set-up procedures at the event.

Schunk will also be integrating its SPM Plus 138 into machining demonstrations at the workshop. The SPM Plus 138 is said to deliver deformation-free clamping on the entire circumference of difficult-to-hold workpieces up to 125 mm diameter.
