IMTS 2014 - US Preview of VISI 21 At IMTS
North Americas largest manufacturing technology exhibition – IMTS, from September 8 to 13.
September 1, 2014 -- Major enhancements in the forthcoming new release of VISI, from Vero Software, will be on display for the first time in the US, at North Americas largest manufacturing technology exhibition - IMTS, from September 8 to 13.
To be fully released at the end of October, VISI 21 includes completely new machining strategies for 2, 2.5 and 3-axis environments. In addition, a new toolpath simulation manages the ISO output, providing users with an enhanced and accurate virtual representation of the part, before committing it to the machine. The new release also introduces new "hybrid" milling strategies which will adapt different types of finishing toolpaths to match the component geometric form.
Updated CAD developments include new technology for managing multiple instances of the same geometry. For example, multi insert molds and dies can now be managed simply with a single reference part which will update all subsequent updates of the same geometry if the part is modified. The forthcoming release also includes enhanced kinematic simulation tools for previewing the real movement of tooling - ideal when validating the tool design and checking for collisions with slides, cams and lifters.
General Manager Richard Youhill says VISIs integration of CAD and CAM into a single application, provides best-in-class technology in one simple to use interface.
VISIs American reseller, TST - Tooling Software Technology - will be carrying out demonstrations at booth E-3114 at the McCormick Place complex in Chicago.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
