"What we're seeing is
that customers are looking for that bipolarization, a combination of the high
end and the low-cost job shop controls," said Scott Strache, senior
product marketing engineer at Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc.
"There's a lot of demand right now for the lower-cost machine, especially
in the China market where that trend is really strong. With the low end, it all
depends on not only the control platform, but also the drive series that
they're using, the size of the servo motors and the spindle motors."
Job shops is continually
driven by innovations and technological advancements. This opens up new avenues
for it. For example, Computer numerical control systems are instrumental in
revolutionizing the manufacturing sector.
"There are faster
controls and great part finish that let you make parts faster, and make it
better," said Chris Weber, national sales manager at Heidenhain Corp.
"What Trochoidal milling lets you do is do a circular move, milling a slot
which is greater than the tool diameter in one pass, and it gives you more even
wear on the tool, while speeding it up as much as 40%. It's even better when
you combine that with adaptive feed control."
Further, Computer
numerical control systems are also apt at increasing the employment rate. Hence, to bank on this,
Baker College and Charlevoix High School, together are developing a course
material that provides specialization in CNC.
"There is a huge
skilled labor gap that we are trying to address to help boost local
manufacturing jobs growth," said David Dewey, advanced manufacturing and
CNC program coordinator at the high school.
There's a stigma with
manufacturing jobs," Dewey told the source "There's such a tremendous
need. Information needs to start at the high school level. Counselors need to
let students know what's out there."
"When you buy a machine
tool, you need to understand what you bought and be able to put that into
operation," said Karl Kleppek, director of sales and marketing of CNCs at
the Hoffman Estates, in the Manufacturing Engineering article.
Well, computer numericalcontrol systems would definitely have a positive impact on manufacturing sector.
Many researchers are identifying its potential for future and hence, numerous
research reports are trying to unravel its strength. A latest report by Allied
Market Research provides a detailed information of global computer numerical
control Size, Share, Global Trends, Company Profiles, Demand, Insights,
Analysis, Research, Report, Opportunities, Segmentation and Forecast from 2013
to 2020. The report provides a clear understanding of market drivers and
restraints.
