  • The Robert E. Morris Co. to Debut New Products at the 2018 Smart Manufacturing Experience

The Robert E. Morris Co. to Debut New Products at the 2018 Smart Manufacturing Experience 
2018-04-15 21:59:17

The Robert E. Morris Company, one of the founding partners of the upcoming Smart Manufacturing Experience event, is planning an exciting and dynamic display on the exhibit floor at this inaugural event, taking place April 30 through May 2, at the Boston Convention Center. Co-sponsored by SME and AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, the Smart Manufacturing Experience will provide attendees with practical solutions applying the latest advanced manufacturing technologies.

Show attendees are invited to visit work stations in booth #351 where The Robert E. Morris Company’s application engineers will recreate a real-world, smart manufacturing environment utilizing software from fellow exhibitors, MachineMetrics and Caron Engineering, to monitor networked Okuma and Tsugami machines in their booth and in the neighboring Tsugami/Rem Sales booth.

Several CNC machine tools from Okuma and Tsugami will be showcased at the event, including the new Okuma GENOS M460V-5AX 5-Axis vertical machining center. A full 5-axis simultaneous control and rigid, double column construction permit production of complex parts with speed and precision. In addition to cutting a complex, multifaceted demo part, the 5-axis machine will be programmed to surface-finish a prototype made on the Desktop Metal Studio System™, also slated for display in the booth.

Designed as an end-to-end solution, the office-friendly Studio System consists of three components: metal 3D printer, debinder and furnace. Unlike laser-based systems that selectively melt metal powder, the printer extrudes bound metal rods—similar to how a FDM printer works. 

Booth visitors can expect to see a robotic loading/unloading system from Gosiger Automation interfacing with an Okuma LB3000 EX-II MYW Turning Center; the Tsugami M08SY Turning Center with Y-Axis and Gantry loading/unloading; an Okuma LT2000 EX twin spindle turning center, and the Tsugami VA2 high speed vertical machining center.  High pressure coolant systems by MP Systems, tooling by Velocity Products, and other products from leading technology suppliers will be incorporated into live cutting demos, highlighting the company’s complete smart manufacturing capabilities from conceptual development and engineering of turnkey systems to full production. 

In addition to participating in the exhibit area, The Robert E. Morris Company is scheduled to present two educational sessions on May 1.  Michael O’Donnell, senior engineer for The Robert E. Morris Company, will facilitate a 10:20 a.m. conference session titled, “Hybrid Machining: The Intersection of Metal Removal and Additive Technologies,” where he will discuss key attributes and applications of Laser Metal Deposition and Fused Deposition Modeling.

Loren Olson, president of The Robert E. Morris Company, will be joined by other technology partners on the Main Stage at 2:30 p.m. for a presentation titled, “Dynamics of Change: Disruptive Technologies and CNC Machinery.”  Each speaker will provide insights into how early adopters of emerging technologies are improving productivity, part quality and profitability.
