Continuous Flow Manufacturing
Mick Gillitzer, PMI

Discover how a company, such as Signicast, a large investment casting company, focuses on their throughput constraints to manage production of their entire operation which results in shorter lead times, faster to market, and lower consumer costs.

CAD Outsourcing: A Business Strategy
Sandesh Joshi, Indovance Inc.

Recently, especially because of the recession, companies were forced to cut down on their work force. As a result, companies don't necessarily have in-house trained resources to take on bigger projects. This forces companies to rethink how to do business in the new economy. Today, every company needs to evaluate CAD outsourcing as a business strategy to grow. This session will help you do that! You will see how other companies are leveraging CAD outsourcing and what pitfalls to watch out for before you go that route.

Pumps and Pressures: Options for Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Systems
Laird Parry, OMAX Corporation

This presentation will compare and contrast the two most common high-pressure water pump options for abrasive waterjet cutting systems - the hydraulic intensifier pump and the triplex direct drive pump. The basic operation, benefits, and limitations of each type of pump will be discussed. You will also discover the relative merits and drawbacks of operations in the 90,000-PSI pressure range verses the traditional 60,000-PSI range.

Retention Knobs Affecting Tool Life
Andy Rowley, J&M Machine Inc.

Take an in depth look at how retention knobs and Belleville washers affect tool life and can be a source of run out and chatter. This can slow your production and cost you money. This demonstration will show you how to check to see if your retention knobs are bulging your tool holders and how to check your drawbar pressure using the Clamprite Drawbar Tester and Taper Shank Test Gage.

OBJET 3D Printing Technology
Maigan Williams, EngATech Inc.

Whether you need to prototype more design iterations without blowing the timeline or budget, need better collaboration or need to test with prototypes that resemble the final product, there are a myriad of benefits to integrating 3D printing into your production development process. In recent years, 3D printing technology has matured to the point where there are a number of different systems on the market - from entry level to high end. This presentation will go over Objet's family of three-dimensional printing systems that bring high resolution, fine detailed models into the hands of designers or engineers and fits in any office environment. Objet's patented PolyJetTM and PolyJet matrix technology provides complete 3D printing solutions to meet your organization's needs.

Field Threading
Orly Dupont and Don Halas, Seco Tools, Inc.

See the single-pass oil field threading with controlled chips that will reduce cycle time in production. You will also hear about new threading grade material for higher chrome material (CP200) and the HD threading holder with heavy-duty clamp, which keeps insert from moving.

Abrasive Waterjet: Dynamic XD
Jonathan Meas, Flow International

Flow International has been the world leader in waterjet technology. In 1979, Flow invented the abrasive waterjet and continues to be the industry leader with the first full 3D cutting head combined with taper control - Dynamic XD. The ability to cut virtually any material, without HAZ or thickness limitations, is just one advantage waterjets offer. Come hear why waterjets continue to be the fastest growing machine tool for over a decade.

Heavy-Duty Tube Honing Technology for the Oil Industry
Phil Hanna, Sunnen Products Company

This presentation will discuss the latest in heavy-duty tube honing technology for the oil industry, including new honing machines and honing tools; new "green" honing oils; proper selection of honing abrasives; and matching the machine, tool, abrasives and oils to the application at hand.

Threading: The Fourth Dimension
John Malsch, AEC

Hear how high-speed automated pipe handling maximizes CNC threading throughput. OCTG Pipe Threading is traditionally driven by threader performance. Current CNC lathes deliver excellent throughput and profitability for your Threading operation. But there's opportunity for additional throughput by optimizing other factors including the handling table performance, pipe alignment and chucking sequence, reliability of the integrated system, and overall equipment layout: AEC's new Threading Table rapidly and automatically loads and unloads the lathe fast enough to improve threading throughput by 7% - 15%. That's not all: AEC's highly reliable all-electric design reduces energy cost, reduces facing time, improves up-time, reduces maintenance, reduces environmental hazards and improves safety for your employees. Your Total Cost of Ownership can dramatically decrease. Let AEC show you how.
