ANCA celebrated five decades of innovation at IMTS, and also 35 years of operations in the U.S. Exhibiting the first machine ever bought in the U.S., a refurbished TG4, was a nostalgic nod to ANCA’s technological journey.
The North American debut of the EPX-SF, ANCA’s advanced stream finishing machine, became the centerpiece of attention. The EPX-SF’s technology offers consistent micro-cutting-edge preparation, controllable nano-smooth surface finishing, and seamless automation..
“Given the competitive world that we are living in and the global market that we are challenged with…it is important that we allow our customers to get the best value out of our machines. So, our focus on lowest cost tools is critical and we have a number of technologies for this, AIMS being one of them,” said Edmund Boland, ANCA CNC Machines general manager.
The manufacturing industry is embracing smarter, more connected solutions and seeking solutions partners. AIMS Connect, the production control of the ANCA Integrated Manufacturing System (AIMS), was revealed to the Americas market for the first time.
AIMS Connect’s smart job management and production control solves common challenges to increase productivity, reduce errors, and tackle labor challenges while increasing machine utilization and reducing the cost per tool.
Along with ANCA’s emerging technologies for reducing set up times of machines, software solutions to analyze the production output of machines, and how to optimize this to bring down the overall cost of production – smarter ways to produce quality tools for lower cost are meeting the industry demands for data-driven decision making, cost reduction and efficiency. ANCA is also formulating solutions for reducing the air consumption of machines which has a significant impact on machine running costs and also contributes to more sustainable manufacturing processes.
ANCA’s latest ULTRA machines are engineered with nanometer feedback resolution to improve surface finish and accuracy of cutting tools. With software developments, such as the new features of ToolRoom RN35 enabling complex geometries, customers have the flexibility to design high performance, higher accuracy and, if needed, custom cutting tools with specific applications.
