Automated guided vehicle (AGV)

BITO LEO - an easy to use AGV available with various options. LEO locative to move containers around a facility. LEO flow to complement and connect existing conveyor systems.LEO custom designed to accomodate bespoke loads

Trolley with containers

An effective way to keep small parts or components close to where they are needed. A mobile trolley fitted with tough picking bins

Small parts storage & picking

BITO boltless shelving combined with RK shelf bins provide an excellent solution for small parts storage & picking. Maximise capacity as the bins are designed to perfectly fit the shelving so no wasted space

Pallet Live Racking

Pallet live racking is a very effective way of increasing pallet storage capacity while still retaining easy access to pallets. Using gravity and inclined roller lanes, pallets move smoothly from the loading to the retrieval position. The increase in capacity over conventional static pallet racking can be as high as 60%

Carton live roller racking

BITO carton live racking, with inclined roller track levels, provides a way of improving the efficiency of item movement in a warehouse or through production. The inclined roller tracks allow items or spare parts to be loaded in containers at the rear and the containers roll forward to the picking position at the front. Once a picking container is emptied and removed, the full container behind smoothly rolls forward to the front.

VERICUT Force

Force is a physics-based optimization method that sets the maximum reliable feed for a particular cutting condition based on 4 factors:

Load on the cutting edge, spindle power, maximum chip thickness and maximum allowable feed. Force calculates ideal feed rates by analysing: tool geometry and parameters, material characteristics and cutting material, detailed cutting edge geometry and VERICUT Smart Part Technology. Force calculates cutting conditions using specific material characteristics, taking into account the strength of the material and the effects of friction and temperature. The material characteristics are based on actual cutting trials and not just on the basis of hypothetical calculations. Turning and drilling optimization functions will follow soon!

Force is ideal for difficult-to-machine materials and complex multi-axis operations such as 5-axis flank milling. Once the material has been defined, it can be applied to a wide range of cutting tools and machines in future NC machining operations. It is easy to set up and can also predict tool wear.

VERICUT

Since 1988 CGTech’s product, VERICUT cnc simulation software, has become the industry standard for simulating CNC machining in order to detect errors, potential collisions, or areas of inefficiency.

It is used by companies of all sizes, universities/trade schools, and government agencies in more than 55 countries. Using VERICUT as a cnc simulator enables you to reduce or eliminate the process of manually proving-out NC programs. It reduces scrap loss and rework. The program also optimizes NC programs in order to both save time and produce higher quality surface finish.

VERICUT simulates all types of CNC machine tools, including those from leading manufacturers such as Mazak, Makino, DMG / Mori Seiki, Okuma, etc. VERICUT runs standalone, but can also be integrated with all leading CAM systems.

VERICUT provides safe & optimised machining operations for Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team.

Protecting and Optimizing CNC Machines with VERICUT Simulation and Force

• Simulate, test, and verify collision and error-free NC programs before running them on the shop floor
• Optimize NC programs based on changing cutting conditions
• Shorten your manufacturing timeline and adjust NC programs to meet your needs
• Extend tool life while reducing machining time

CAM Assist

CAM Assist is a plug-in for CAM software (including Fusion, Mastercam and Siemens NX) that generates professional machining strategies in seconds at the click of a button.

It uses advanced computer science techniques and AI to generate professional precision machining strategies to make components far more quickly than previously possible. While CNC machine programmers need to take hours or even days to manually create a strategy for a complex part, CAM Assist can complete the task in minutes.

As a result, the amount of time it takes to program a CNC machine to make a component - a bottleneck in many factories, due to a global skills shortage - is greatly reduced, compared to the previous manual programming process.

That gain enables manufacturers using CAM Assist to raise productivity and shorten lead times, while also estimating for more work, more quickly - saving an average workshop over 300 hours of programming and estimating time a year.

In addition, the software frees up time for experienced programmers, while also allowing junior employees to program more complex parts and be productive in 3+2 axis faster, helping fill the manufacturing sector’s widening skills gap.

KREATOR ARES: Large format additive manufacturing and milling system

CMS Advanced Materials Technology, leader in CNC machines for composite processing, started in 2018, in cooperation with the prestigious german Fraunhofer Institut, to develop an original LFAM (Large Format Additive Manufacturing) solution, for improving the competitiveness of composite and other industries.

The Additive Manufacturing technology adopted is Screw Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (SEAM)
- Thermoplastic polymer, in granulated form is the material used.
- The polymer is almost always reinforced (discontinuous fibres of carbon or glass) and the reinforcement is inside the granules.
- The extrusion is done by a single screw extruder that melts the granules.
- The extruder is moved by the tool machine’s axes.
- The melted polymer exiting the extruder is deposited in layers that plasticize and form a single piece.
