MODERN EQUIPMENT REVIEW Modern Machine Shop 131 SPOTLIGHT | Additive Manufacturing Automated Titanium Color Anodize Equipment and Chemistry 716.763.4343 www.miraclean.com ® Four-Laser Additive System Improves Productivity Renishaw is introducing its new RenAM 500Q four- laser additive manufacturing (AM) system, designed for improved productivity in a common platform size. The system is said to offer a reduction in cost per part while maintaining the quality and precision offered by standard single-laser systems. By speeding up the pro- cess, the company hopes to broaden the utilization of metal additive manufacturing into applications that are presently uneconomic, potentially into industries that have not yet embraced AM in production applications. The company is also introducing the InfiniAM process-monitoring technology, which enables man- ufacturers to benefit from gathering and analyzing sensor data from AM systems to develop consistent processing. The process monitoring system combines a chamber camera with synchronous sensing of laser power and galvo position, plus multi-spectral meltpool sensing. The system is also a production-planning tool, and it provides feedback on the system sensor data from the AM build. Options include the InfiniAM Central and Spectral, which give users essential information to understand the component build process and monitor- ing meltpool characteristics in high resolution. Renishaw has also released its High Temperature Build Volume, a technology that enables manufactur- ers to build components from materials that are not currently feasible. The technology enables the produc- tion of bulkier parts with less risk of thermal stress effects, which can further expand the capabilities of additive manufacturing and provide a platform for research and development. | Renishaw Inc. | 847-286-9953 | renishaw.com OVENS & FURNACES OVENS & FURNACES www.grievecorp.com 847-546-8225 Inert Atmosphere Ovens 8-36 cu. ft. capacity Temps to 1250ºF UL Listed controls, NFPA 86 Rated Interior seams welded gas-tight Pressure regulator/Flowmeter maintain atmosphere Air jacketed for cooling Inert Atmosphere Ovens 8-36 cu. ft. capacity Temps to 1250ºF UL Listed controls, NFPA 86 Rated Interior seams welded gas-tight Pressure regulator/Flowmeter maintain atmosphere Air jacketed for cooling
