The International Manufacturing Technology Show, the largest and longest-running industry trade show in the Western Hemisphere, is held every other year at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.
IMTS is where the creators, the builders, the sellers, and the drivers of manufacturing technology come to connect and be inspired. Industry professionals from around the globe will visit IMTS to discover the latest innovations in digital and traditional manufacturing, experience more than 15,000 new machining technologies, and find processes that will help solve their manufacturing challenges and improve efficiency.
We were guests at the stand of our exclusive American dealer Lyndex NIKKEN, with whom we have been collaborating for a long time.
The aim of this show was to present to the American public the full range of products and solutions offered by Elbo Controlli NIKKEN: in addition to the entire range of presetter machines (from the entry level E236+ to the top of the range E68LA IS MUST), visitors were able to touch with their hands the two tool management systems TID and TP32.
TID (Automatic Tool Identification System) is a solution which allows Elbo Controlli NIKKEN presets to quickly identify tools and send correction data directly to the numerical control without interrupting any operation in progress.
TP32 (Integrated Tool Management System) is Elbo Controlli NIKKEN's solution that, through a usability-oriented approach, it allows a complete view of the problems related to tools within the company production cycle. TP32 is a point of interaction between tools and applications. TP32 easily handles everything from the management of warehouse stocks to the maintenance of distinct tool composition, from interfacing with automatic warehouses to the management of sub-stocks, from resource planning to full integration with the preset, from management of the tool supply to data exchange with ERP / CAD and offline simulation.
By listening to the needs of national and international markets, our sales network and mechanical workshop operators from all over the world, we are able to create specific and exceptional products.
