How to step into digital manufacturing; Hybrid additive machining for repairs

Hybrid additive machining for repairing diesel impellers - It can be done
It's a little known fact but you can perform full adaptive 5-axis machining toolpaths during blade repair applications. Eric Wold, Northeast Regional Sales Manager, Mitsui Seiki USA, will discuss the benefits of automating the blade repair process drawing upon real examples of successful implementation of adaptive tooling based on the current geometry of a given part. Five-axis adaptive machining is feasible using today's technology and blade repair is a good place to start.

How to step into digital manufacturing
The digital world of manufacturing consists of 3 industry standard protocols:  OPC UA, Modbus, and MT Connect. These standards make up how we communicate with the machine-tool world. Once you understand what protocol you want to use then you must decide how you want to visualize your data i.e. build your own system or use an existing system. Nowadays everyone has monitoring software to monitor machine tools but it’s how you use the tools inside that help you drill down to make progress. Joseph Pizzoferrato, TNC Product Specialist at HEIDENHAIN will give a brief introduction into the company’s software diagnosis tools as well as explain other tools you can use in the digital world such as the digital twin and remote monitoring to leverage the digital world in your current manufacturing process.
